L.O.V.E. LOVE the art. This card + Lightforged Zealot - will they be enough shift Highlander Paladin to Highland "Pure" Paladin? I'll certainly give it a whirl. Also, there are so many amazing Paladin Dragons I could absolutely see these being run in that deck as a trade off for a few of the stronger neutral dragons.
Hello to the new Mage Northshire Cleric - the one-drop that will be run in every single deck regardless of archetype. This is an incredibly solid card. *Too* solid/strong though? Only time will tell...
I'll play this in my Wild Odd Elemental Frost Lich Jaina (specific, I know) deck, but that's about it. There just aren't enough good elementals in standard right now.
Solid spell - versatile board clear vs aggro OR single-target removal on control. Certainly not as good as Meteor but not EVERY card this expansion can be powercreep, right :)
I think this will find a home. Obvious Cyclone mage value, but also works with Quest, any twinspell cards, all the new Discover cards, etc. I'm sure it's also an automatic add to any Wild Time Warp Mage deck.
I don't see this gaining much traction. Obvious synergy with Big Druid, but aside from Embiggen there's no other support for that archetype right now. Perhaps gets play in Wild?
I have no idea how to rate this card since it's not very clear to me HOW the effect will actually work. I can see it being viable maybe, but doubt however this things works will be anything more than a meme.
Excellent card for any token deck at all stages of a game. for other decks still strong if an earl 1/2-drop manages to live or as a "buff" to drawing them later in the game. Solid card - I like it.
Fantastic card - every deck will run at least 1 for the next 4 months. Nice to see some more "real-time" tech cards rather than letting an archetype run wild for 4 months before "solving" them.
Anti-quest tech I guess? But since Warlock & Druid have passive powers, only useful against 7 classes? I think they designed this card before they rotated Genn and Baku and have just decided to throw it out there as a "Epic you hate to open" (which naturally means I'll open 5 of them...)
Cheap dust I guess since 60% of this bundle rotates out in 4 months, plus a quick googling with no results suggests the hero is "new" i.e. not from WoW (forgive me if mistaken) so not sure how many people want a random Treant hero?
Also, this is now 4 heroes for Druid - how about some love to the other classes that don't have many alt heroes - Hunter and Rogue? Mage too since Khadgar is unobtainable anymore
I'm torn: one the one hand this feels too slow for Token Treant Druid. On the other hand though, one way you win with that deck is aggro pressure, BUT the other way is to go control and simply trade, trade, trade and outlast your opponent with 4-6 board refills like Wispering Woods and The Forest's Aid. So I do think this will see play in a more control-focused Treant Druid deck - how that will shape up is beyond me at this point.
Right now DoD is 40% crazy-strong powercreep cards, 40% hyper-specific tech cards, and 20% total memery. This is going to one weird (but fun!) expansion...

Solid 2-drop with obvious synergy options. Should be very playable in regular Token Druid as well as Treant variant
Excellent card that I expect will see play even if Treant Druid doesn't take off (again).

Warlock has enough AOE removal that I don't expect this will see much play, especially given the variable amount of damage.

Excellent card for quest, good on it's own given the low cost for a Token Treant Druid, AND a dad-level punny name? Automatic 5 stars.
Very strong card - Big Druid coming back! Also love the name; slipping in those Simpsons references not only in the flavor text anymore!
Yeah this.

Not a bad card at all. I'm sure control warrior will find a good way to use this.
An interesting card that i'm sure will find a place in at least a couple of classes - looks perhaps most promising in Secret Dragon Paladin?
