Well, it'll be less masochistic for those of us who don't feel like spamming lackeys at least. I personally like to play functional decks that aren't part of the meta, so it's a win for players like me.

Besides, …

This and [card]Wand Thief[/card] might make a big difference for [card]Whirlkick Master[/card], whose biggest problem has always been that all the combo cards cost 2 or more, greatly limiting how much you can do and how early you can do …

Might be better to leave this question until we actually see all the cards. Team5 usually leave the best for the final reveal.

Agreed, but they have been aggressively revealing legendaries and …

An elekk never forgets. I'm going to be honest, it never occurred to me that that proverb could be turned into a card.

Oooh. That looks right up my control hunter alley.

It doesn't actually affect very many cards in Standard, though I'm sure we'll see a spell or two to go along with it. I assume there will be something along …

Right, but are those spells actually helpful to play, or are you just throwing them out because it gives you another discover? I can picture people always picking the cheapest option, and ending the turn with 5 overloaded mana crystals …

OK, so I previously argued [card]Diligent Notetaker[/card] didn't violate shaman's class identity weakness of card generation. Apparently I shouldn't have bothered because this was going to come along and throw it out of the window anyway.

Is the card …

Even the most complex things feel simple when you have done them enough times, and even the most intelligent among us find simple things complex at first.

Anyway, yes, I hope it is fairly weak. Partly because I don't …

I'm reminded of the main problem with Galakrond Shaman on release: the invoke cards were solid enough in their own right that you pretty much got the payoff cards for free, as though they had no restriction on them.

…

I think it is just this year they are getting extras. The extra 15 this year will make up for not having a classic set, so at the next rotation they'll have the same number of cards in standard as …

Not necessarily. If you don't expect the opponent to have the ability to damage both, then picking the larger one might end up keeping both of them alive a turn, because your opponent targets the obvious choice. 

It might …

Stalladris will give you cards that do the same thing as if you chose that option. Since when you choose the overload route you summon the minions, the Stalladris card for this should too.

The wording on the choose …

I personally think the effect is very flavourful. In WoW she is known for summoning illusions and this captures that very well.

We'll also see how easy it is to deal 1 damage for most classes. Before now only …

It's always 2 weeks after the nerfs go live. There is no reason to think there's a conspiracy about them timing it purely to deny a bit of dust a few players.

Agreed. Alexandros Mograine (who Baron Rivendare later took the place of) would have been perfect since Kel'Thuzad himself turned him into a death knight.

Perhaps they had the card mechanics in mind first and felt it was best applied …

Ture, Scholomance was around long before the 3rd war, but as Lord Alexei Barov's family home. I don't believe it had anything to do with any paladins or schools at all.

That said, I'm also happy for HS to …

Oh yes, there's a lot of fudging regarding the school: I don't think KT even tried to pretend it was anything other than the horrific school of necromancy that HS has tucked away in the basement.

I think it's …

Often yes, but actually no. Examples like [card]Ragnaros the Firelord[/card] show why you still need to use something else to finish it off. Even if you just hit a big stat-stick, there is still the chance it gets silenced and …

So, now you can get this off Zephry's when played on 10mana instead of Tirion or Natalie? I wonder how good it will be then...

No. Zephrys only offers Basic and Classic …

Lore-wise, this is a strange choice of expansion to put Turalyon in. I was under the belief he was off-world fighting with the Army of the Light from the second Horde vs Alliance war through to the Legion expansion, meaning …
