Let's appreciate the fact that Blizzard has admitted they messed up and take full responsibility for it. I think they are right to let Roger hold his title, but I hope they will act more adequately next time something like this happens.
I never thought about that, but there are some problems with that with the information we have right now. Master's Call will only draw 1 card. Sometimes tracking will show multiple combo components which will block the combo. 6 combo pieces is quite alot and hunters draw engine is not good enough to get to fatigue unless it gets another draw card. I like the idea thought.
I just realized, there is Goblin Prank so you can just galvanizer mecha'thun and goblin prank it to win. 4 combo pieces.
Not that this deck would be any good, but this card sounds fun in a deathrattle mech deck with Boomzooka. Boomzooka could pull this out, as well as mechanical whelps and spider bombs, and when this dies, it could pull out a whelp or bomb from your hand and cause some havoc.
I've been wanting to make a "Weekly Spotlight" article/video for a while, so this might come at some point in the future.
A possible problem with that however, is that it's a minority of the community that is actually interested in Custom Hearthstone creations, and as such might not have the highest priority.
Jesus effing Christ, I can't believe they've printed a legendary mech for hunter - and it appears to be completely useless. My only hope is there will be some decent support cards. That thing doesn't even find a place in wild mech hunter in its current state. So disappointed.
Oblivitron (5): This card is probably un-draftable. Not only is it's effect a deathrattle meaning it's likely that you won't have the initiative to trigger it, it's grossly over costed/under statted and the effect is tribe only. There's just too many things that need to happen for this card to work out and in Arena, that's not a consistent strategy.
Lazul's Scheme (3): Potentially quite good. The effect is end of turn only so it's possible to steal something and have it revert back to full stats at end of turn. It's a horrible top deck and requires turns and other cards to make it good, but there's some potential here.
I think the best way to think about the scheme is as a 0 mana sap that makes the minion cost zero. It’s weak as removal, but it enables huge tempo swings by allowing you to play your minion and nullifying a threat for no extra mana. Another thing to point out is that tempo priest is coming together. We have the 3/2 for 2 that turns your healing into damag and the 3/3 that summons 1/1s for every spell you cast. It’s coming together
I think this is the worst scheme revealed so far, because reducing a minion’s attack doesn’t do much unless you have something like Cabal Shadow Priest. But even then it’s a two card combo that isn’t relevant most of the time, because your opponent will probably remove it. Also it does basically nothing when you topdeck it.
Rise of Shadows
Psyched for the expansion and the new meta!

New Hunter Minion - Oblivitron
Psyched to play heavy mech hunter in wild with Sneed's, Piloted Shredder & Sky Golem, and all the triggers!

2 Card Reveals - Oblivitron & Lazul's Scheme
This card needs more support to see play. Fireworks Tech is not enough as an enabler with Play Dead and Terrorscale Stalker rotating out.
Rise of Shadows
Being a wild player so far this expansion looks boring and I don’t think will likely change much at all.

More emphasis/exposure on the fan creation community.

Boom Hunter (Legend)

New Hunter Minion - Oblivitron
I hope to see some Mechs coming with this expansion, otherwise, imo, this card is pretty unplayable (in standard) except for some strange bomb hunter

2 Card Reveals - Oblivitron & Lazul's Scheme
Yuppers! I haven't played priest for so long. I feel the need for greed!
Oblivitron
With the rotation of Cataclysm, Bloodbloom, Naturalize, and Ticking Abomination, most Mecha'thun decks will die out. I feel like with Oblivitron, Mecha'thun Hunter will be a top tier deck. The combo is as follows:
2x Galvanizers on Oblivitron
Play Galvanizer and Wild Pyromancer
Hunter's Mark on Galvanizer
Hunter's Mark on Mecha'thun
You also have cards like Tracking and Master's Call that can thin out your deck pretty quickly.

2 Card Reveals - Oblivitron & Lazul's Scheme
I'm glad Oblivitron only affects mechs, because Hunter definitely doesn't need another way to trigger deathrattles
List of Lackeys - Year of The Dragon Mechanic
Lackeys are essentially additional, situational resources/ abilities, and In my opinion ,basically adapt in minion form.
Is it correct to assume they arerestricted to the clssses representing the League of EVIL ?
List of Lackeys - Year of The Dragon Mechanic
This plays well into the Echo mechanic.
Missing Comments Lazul's Scheme
Seems when I comment on the new cards it's disappearing. I've tried twice now.
New Priest Spell - Lazul's Scheme
Not sure if this will be any good. Very bad late game draw.
New Hunter Minion - Oblivitron
Mecha Godzilla incoming.
Kalecgos
I'd hate to lose this card to Mind Control. Seems like 10 mana may be a bit much. We'll have to see the spells that get introduced.
Lazul's Scheme
Not sure about this one. Could be good in your opening hand, but definitely a bad late game draw.
Rise of Shadows
Kalecgos ftw
