    I agree with Suchti, this will be a centerpiece in Spell Druid. Very versatile, not too expensive, strong card!

    I haven't figured out yet which deck would want to run this and I don't think I'll like the result when I finally do. Glorious flavor though!

    This would definitely help Deathrattle Deathknight become a thing, but I'm having doubts if we quite get there yet. Just a little more support and maybe my Signature Cage Head will find a home...

    I'm not convinced yet. The Standard package is lacking a way to do unfair things with the demons and in Wild the pool is just too poluted with bad stuff to discover.

    I like it! Maybe it's time to whip out Flark's Boom-Zooka again and blow stuff up. The Rush comes in very handy if you res this guy with Jewel of N'Zoth or Stranglethorn Heart.

    Forst DK is dead as of now. This card does have the potential to make me play the archetype again though, if only because of the cute signature art. Do we have enough decent Frost spells to put this into a rainbow list?

    I don't see this getting played in any format. Wild has better tools and Standard lacks the support for self damage. One of the feelsbadman epics in this set.

    Good in Standard to find [Hearthstone Card (Objection) Not Found] or play mind games, trash in Wild because the pool is far too big. 'nuff said.

    Very hard to tell the power level of this card. I think it's fine for Standard, Wild will be another story. The whole Mech Warrior package got some very interesting new additions, we just have to make it work somehow.

    The flavor is through the roof but I fear the power level isn't high enough for competitive Wild (not to mention the Rune requirement). I'll still play it and it's definitely a great fit for Standard Rainbow lists.

    This is super strong, even in Wild. Finds a place in Reno Shaman and Big Shaman, maybe even in an Overload build. As an aggro player I will absolutely hate running into this.

    10 Mana for 6 damage to a random enemy just isn't good enough. I could see this in a Mana cheating deck though... Maybe I can finally find some use for The Boomship that I've pulled last year.

    This was already good when it got revealed, but now that it's possible to stack Auras, this card might even become a nerf candidate.

    I can't see a Wild deck that really needs this, but then again you never know with all these miracle builds running rampage at the moment. Probably just an okay Standard card.

    This will be the centerpiece of one of my day 1 decks: Wild Aggro Priest with a Dragon package. There are quite a few good 1 drops that support Thirsty Drifter and while it might be a tad slower than the current build, an extra turn with an active Voidtouched Attendant is something I definitely want to try.

    The card I'm most curious about in the whole set from a Wild perspective. The question if this makes the cut in Pirate Rogue is very difficult to answer. Personally, I'm in the boat of the doubters. Sure, turn 2 Coin this out and follow up with a 1 cost Pirate that pulls to Parachute Brigands and Patches sounds like a dream, but decks like Aggro Priest and Even Shaman will punish you heavily for skipping turn 1. Rogue also has better refill options in Secret Passage and Gear Shift that both don't come with the downside of polluting your minion pool with something that doesn't have the Pirate tag. All in all it might end up being a question of where the meta goes. Currently, the damage from hand version seems to be superior to the minion based version, but if that changes, Toy Boat has a real chance to make a splash.

    Probably good in Standard, not making the cut in Wild. In the latter format I dump my hand quickly and can't look out for combo that doesn't go face (Eviscerate).

    Big ouch. This is gonna cause some feels bad moments in both formats. What I do like about it is that it opens up deckbuilding creativity since you can do silly things with a few different approaches (Confessor Paletress anyone?).

    The Deathrattle makes it pretty weak and I usually don't like cards that are either trash or fuel for OTK shenanigans (Hedanis?)... I'll give this one a pass.

    Maybe it's just my Wild bias but I feel like this is a bit too expensive, especially considering Priest has no Dragon tutors (or has it?). Would have been amazing in Druid (but not fitting Malfurion's class identity at all of course)!
