    Okay, I've found a good target for the big buff spell. Also premium target for new Shuderwock. I hate it already!

    Very solid addition to Burgle Rogue. Discover is such a strong tool for that archetype and you even get to double down on your choice! Also nice call back flavor-wise.

    Weird stats on this one. Obviously a hand wide buff can't be too cheap, but why not skip the Lifesteal and give it Windfury instead? Or just reduce the cost a bit... I'm not sold on this one.

    It's not giga strong but since we're now able to stack auras and extend their durability it might become scary at some point. Removing 6 drops on 3 or 4 consecutive turns in addition to what the Paladin is doing anyway is no small task.

    Augmented Porcupine for DK! At least kind of. It actually is even stronger I guess because it can go off multiple times. Maybe I'll have to craft Drakkari Enchanter after all...

    Yeah I don't like it. It's obviously strong but I've never been a fan of Zephrys either and this just elevates it to the next level. Viper in all of my decks I guess.

    I expect this to be one of the most annoying cards of the set. Even Paladin will love it and even in Standard there are a few noteworthy ways to abuse it... Bucket of Soldiers would be a nice example from this set.

    So they're basically saying we can choose the Animal Companion if we pay one more Mana? Sounds pretty strong and incredibly versatile! This will round out a lot of decks...

    Very strong 1 drop, this set has a lot of those for different tribes! This will instantly slip into Elemental decks and do a great job of keeping the early under control or enabling follow up effects without being a total waste of Mana later in the game.

    I'm of a completely different opinion here - for me, this is one of the candidates for the Magma Rager award. It's way too expensive and 5 Mana do nothing has a nasty habit of exploding in your face if your not ahead anyway. Maaaaaaybe Spell Druid can use this because their location is super cheap and they might need the draw.

    This definitely looks strong and will probably be a favorite card of the set for many players. It's a dragon, it promotes board based strategies and it helps enable one of the funny broken (?) stars of the expansion. Nice one!

    In a vacuum, this looks bonkers. Draw a Pirate for free sounds amazing! The biggest problem of this card is the power level of other 1 cost cards that Rogue already has access to... first and foremost Secret Passage and Gear Shift. So just like toy boat, I wouldn't bet on this making the cut in Wild Pirate Rogue.

    These callback cards that refuse to use their keywords are confusing af. This might end up being one of the best of them actually, the damage potential is nothing to ignore. Combo with Brann or Highlander Brann or Spirit of the Shark and you're good to go.

    Nice reference here but probably not good enough to make the cut. I don't even know what would be the best outcome here. And what's the synergy with the rest of the set? I don't want this to be hit by Magatha either.

    Nope, absolutely not good enough. It's a nice outcome for random effects that summon a 3 cost minion like Wandering Monster, but that's about it.

    Awesome card for a multitude of decks, some of them being Even Shaman, Even Paladin, QL Druid, maybe Even DK. Oh and don't forget DK Uther OTK decks :D

    Yeah, obviously a big W on flavor, but way too slow to be useful. Especially considering it's in the same set as Messmaker.

    The general sentiment seems to be this isn't it and I agree. The big plus is that you won't have a feels bad moment pulling this from packs if you've preordered one of the bundles.

    I'm here for Handbuff DK and this is a very solid piece for it. Even if you don't upgrade the Spellstone, +1/+1 for all your Undead is nothing to scoff at since most minions you'll want to run in that deck share this tribe anyway.

    Nice filler card if you have a deckspot left and don't know what do add. I'm still mad about Shroomscavate being a card. Wild probably doesn't need it?
