    So a 1 drop that guarantees a specific draw, and if it's not dealt with it can draw another card. This seems nuts. In standard i think it won't be that good until there is more secret support.

    In wild though.... I'm not sure if i even want to touch that mode anymore after this mini set. (Secret mage is one of my most hated decks of all time.)

    Seems pretty good to me. It's kinda like Rat Trap which used to win me a bunch of games, as no one expects it. Also it being a secret makes it so rogue can discover this from Perjury and all classes can get it from Sketchy Stranger

    The fact that this triggers at the end of your opponents turn makes it so it's "guaranteed*" FACE Damage. (*unless they have a Cheat i mean Taunt minion)

    I think this might be better than most people expect.

    Interesting card.

    Hunter probably won't run this. Unless the meta goes super fast, in that case Big Beast Hunter might include this in order to stay alive. Or unless they REALLY need more beasts.

    DK is where this gets a bit more interesting due to it being runeless. Blood DK could run it, but it will be interesting to see which card get removed in order to make space for this. But this is also a nice pay-off for some kinda Handbuff DK deck, which tends to be a 2x blood 1x Unholy deck. Also Rainbow DK could try this out.

    Seems mostly like a DK card to me.

    Must-include for any druid deck that runs the hero power package. At worst it's Tour Guide for 1 more mana but with premium stats. This seems nuts.

    Bad. Because of the Immune change this cannot be cheated out for 0 health. So you always have to take 5 dmg to get only a 2/2. In standard this is free dust.

    In wild it might have potential with The Demon Seed. (Ugh i hate that card.)

    6 mana do nothing, and if you play this when your opponent has 10 mana it's basically useless. And even if you drop this on turn 6, you basically get almost no benefit from it.

    This seems like a pack-filler to me.

    Seems nice overall, but it is quite inconsistant. I think this will be a 3 star card, mostly due to the fact that DH already has an amazing board clear + Reno Jackson effect for 1 less mana. (*ahem* Silvermoon Arcanist + Unleash Fel)

    Warrior: This is a demon, so probably slots into managerie decks? Also seems alright for control-ish decks i guess? Problem for warrior is that it requires playing a bunch of weaponss (probably like 2 weapons at least) and warrior is supposed to be all about armor, so lifesteal isn't that great. And control warrior decks still have no wincon outside of Blackrock n' roll scams.

    DH: DH Does have a bunch of cheap weapons, but i'm not sure if this sees play. I dunno if outcast DH even wants this, and i feel like BIG DH doesn't want to summon this off their "recruit"s. And obviously Spell DH doesn't run this.

    This seems meh to me, playing 2 weapons in order to feel alright about playing this card doesn't sound that great to me.

    Bad card UNTIL we get more reasons/pay-offs for NOT running triple rune cards. Also does Rainbow DK even want this? From what i know (And it's very limited knowledge) Rainbow DK needs more corpse SPENDERS not generators.

    Hmm, this seems nice. But i feel like it's not worth a deck slot.

    DK decks are already quite packed with important cards. I don't feel like DK wants to get rid of anything, just to make room for this card.

    Paladin is where this card MIGHT have a chance. Of course Pure paladin won't run it, BUT BIG Paladin MIGHT run this card as this helps stall until they can cheat stuff out.

    But let's be honest, were probably going to see this card occasionally... When it's discovered. After all, this is a runeless card so ALL DK decks can discover this. Paladin probably won't discover this now that i think about it, because most paladin decks only run Pure versions. (Which can only run Muckborn Servant as a discover option for spells)

    Well this is certainly an interesting card.

    In DH i think it could see play, mostly because cards like Foul Egg are seeing play. And if the Cage Head package ever works out, this will be a very powerful part of that deck.

    In Hunter this seems not that good. The best targets are probably Azsharan Saber and Sunken Saber? Maybe Defense Attorney Nathanos?

    This card looks decent/alright for now, Probably a 3/5. But it IS a ticking timebomb, just waiting for the right support. And once that support arrives it will become a super strong card.

    Might be good in handbuff decks and/or managerie decks because it's a neutral totem. This card has to be answered immediately otherwise it will give a lot of handbuffs. And it also guarantees at least 1 handbuff, which is nice. I feel like this might be a pretty good card that is overlooked.

    Very good card for handbuff decks! Also the person on the card looks similar to LUCIO from overwatch, especially if you look at their hair. And as a lucio main, i love this card even more because of that!

    Seems really nice with handbuffs. Doubling the stats is really good.

    Alright for managerie decks i guess? Still seems bad and too conditional though.

    Good for managerie decks, bad outside of those decks.

    Love the fact that the party ANIMAL is a beast. On point in terms of flavor!

    Could see some play. It's a quilboard and it gives a big atk buff. Some aggro decks might experiment with it.

    Meh, bad card. Probably also not that good in arena.

    Might seem bad, but in a fresh post-rotation meta this is a really nice value generator for control decks thanks to the smaller card pools. This also looks nice in DK, IF this can bypass the rune requirements. (Which i guess it will be able to.)

    Can delay your opponent from getting the card they want or give them something better. Especially in a fresh post-rotating meta i feel like the quality of cards that you give to your opponent will be too high quality/good so i dont think this will see play for quite some time. And in arena you want to never pick this.
