    Good idea and definitely playable. You don’t want to use your HP with a weapon already equipped so this might give you some good extra value.

    Not sure about this, good board clear but it seems like it always will be a step behind when it's upgraded.

    RIP Secret Mage in wild... And standard. And any other secret deck. As soon as a deck focused on secrets gets into the meta, this will be the go-to tech card just like Kobold Stickyfinger when Evolve Shaman was a thing.

    That's a crazy lot of healing! Nice when Lightsteed is on the board. Also quite annoying to get resurrected, one could imagine.

    Big spell support, me like. Druid will love this with Cenarion Ward and Survival of the Fittest. Random effects are however unreliable, if you need to regain the board this is probably an awkward play.

    Oh, and the comparisons to Spiteful Summoner: I really enjoyed those decks and the fact that this always draw your highest cost spell makes this much more reliable and better. But slower, yes. You can't slam this bad boy on T6 like the summoner. Unless you're Druid, of course. :)

    Welcome back! Does this means we'll see Aya Blackpaw and Don Han'Cho with similar requisites just like the Frozen Throne vampire princes? Hope so!

    Reminded that you're not guaranteed to get the effects you want från the Golem (like taunt, draw, board clear or whatever), this is probalby a great play most of the times. Unless you want more tempo och SMORC, of course.

    Nice! I like the idea and this is definitely playable. It slows down your opponent for a turn (it can't be killed like Doomsayer or the DoD barrel) and could let you just go face for a turn.

    Coolt effect but there are a lot of reasons this won't see play. Paladins don't want to fill their decks with secrets (because they suck) and the tokens don't have rush so it's just a board fill (at best) that could be ignored or cleared. Compare with Soulciologist Malicia who have easier generation and summons them with rush. Two more mana, yes, but the difference of power level is huge. Unless there are some new secret generator, remember that Desperate Measures rotates, this will be forgotten already at April 1.

    Obvious support for Mordresh Fire Eye, but is acutally a decent control tool on it's own. Could se play without Mordresh if the are a lot of tokens in the next meta, and Stealth Rogue will absolutely hate this.

    A lot of setup but the support is there, both in the Core set and the Rare revealed at the same time. Reminds me of OG C'Thun, slow card but with very high reward. Will probably see a lot of experimentation, not so sure about making the meta.

    It feels weird to make this a Demon Hunter card, but maybe we'll see some synergising cards coming up. It seems way too slow for current DH archetypes so I can se a midrange-ish DH beign pushed. Especially with the new legendary.

    Nice take on Outcast flavor and effect. Good card but very situational, I can see this being chosen from Illidari Studies rather than included from the start in constructed.

    Not bad, combo's great with handbuff. Reminds me of Occult Conjurer, so this is probably great in the right deck.

    Draw engine for the class that needs it the most, that's just great. A secret, a Petting Zoo and some cheap spell like Adorable Infestation is just great to get in hand. A little slow to be played on curve but great to refill your hand.

    Useless filler or important combo piece? Who knows, but there are some spell-slinging synergies in Priest to be explored.

    This looks like a lot of fun! 1/3 is always a good 1-drop and could be really strong if you get the Frenzies going. Too bad Hunter lacks draw engines since this have a lot of potential, like with Dire Frenzy.

    One of my favorite Barrens cards so far. This could go into just about any Druid deck that's not already crowded with other synergies or combo cards.

    Super strong if you could combo it with Bru'kan. Without him, still a good spell that could shine in Spell damage decks.

    Not really impressed, as other have stated the upgraded spell is "too little, too late". Maybe better in Arena or with synergy cards.
