    Good weapon. 4 attack is nice damage for SMOrcing, and hunter likes casting spells. So this will certainly see play.

    Alright, so horrible condition considering Hunter loves putting stuff on board AND the Wild seed package is still in standard. And hunter doesn't really have a secret pay-off deck in standard, and all secret support cards are rotating. Pretty sure Emergency Maneuvers, Explosive Trap, Freezing Trap, ZOMBEEEES!!! and Motion Denied are the only secrets in standard post rotation. Sure that's a smal pool of secrets, but i feel like it's simply not good enough for most hunter decks.

    Seems decent in a rampy druid deck? Maybe ramp druid will now go into some kind of Convoke the Spirits package? I'm not that convinced about this card.

    5 star card. This seems nuts for only 1 mana. Just with Foul Egg this becomes quite scary, and in Unholy DK you of course have the obvious Cage Head synergy. In Rainbow DK you can also just use this + a good deathrattle like Foul Egg. This is going to see a lot of play.

    5 corpses seems like a lot. But Unholy DK can probably afford it. Also Rainbow DK might just use this as well, as long as there is a good enough deathrattle to repeat. (And in Rainbow DK it also upgrades Climactic Necrotic Explosion.) I'm not 100% sure about this card, but it does seem pretty good.

    Very slow wincondition, but once you play it it's going to be very scary for your opponent. It HAS to be silenced or even better: Transformed. Otherwise Boneshredder, Mosh Pit and Death Growl will make your life hell. (Especially if they Mosh Pit it the turn they play Cage Head.)

    Hmm this seems really nice, as long as you activate the Finale. 3 mana 2/1 that deals 2 damage doesn't seem that good.

    Not sure if Frost DK will use this card.

    Rainbow DK on the other side, will probably use this card. Why? Decent board clear in a rainbow deck seems pretty good. The only OTHER board clears Rainbow DK has acces to are Remorseless Winter and Howling Blast. So having Hardcore Cultist in the deck might be really helpful with you know, staying alive.

    This seems nuts in Triple Blood DK. Vampiric Blood = 2 5/5s, Blood Boil = potentially 6 2/2 minions, Death Strike = 6/6 minion. This seems like a good enough card for triple blood DK just to occupy the board more. Also this can just summon more minions, if your opponent trades minions into it. (Because it has lifesteal as well) 

    The problem with this card: It NEEDS you to be below Full health i think? Except for Vampiric Blood of course. So that's pretty much the only problem i can see with this card. Also Mosh Pit could make this a lot more sticky.

    In Rainbow DK i don't see this being that good. I feel like that deck will prefer other minions.

    Triple Blood DK doesn't want this card. It's already doing fine... Unless Blood DK REALLY wants to change their health a bunch for pay-off cards like Arcanite Ripper and Screaming Banshee. That's the only situation in which i can see this seeing play.

    I feel like Rainbow and Triple Blood DK might experiment with this card. Using this without any other health changing cards = probably a 3/3 lifesteal minion on the deathrattle. So that seems pretty good.

    Seems like a rainbow or Handbuff DK card. Not sure about it, however this is a lot of stats. And it's not conditional as well, like it costs no corpses or anything. This seems decent.

    Seems like a interesting pay-off. This is a finisher for sure, considering you can't discover this card. So you can only use this ONCE per game, so it's gotta end the game. This rewards using corpse pay-offs, which might make it a bit slower than what you probably want. However one thing to not about rainbow DK is that it gets better with each new 1 rune card printed. (Like how Pure paladin gets better with each new paladin card)

    I think this card will see play at some point, especially once they print more double rune cards like Frost Queen Sindragosa. Is it good enough right now? Not sure, but Rainbow DK is very close to being a decent/good deck and it's losing nothing during the rotation. So maybe keep a eye out on Rainbow DK.

    Three corpses can sound like a lot, but isn't actually that bad. Also technically this card uses only 2 corpses, considering you get 1 back. 

    Most Blood DKs often ends up with like 10+ corpses in the mid-late game even after using their corpse spending cards. (At least, in my experience i often have lots of corpses just sitting there.) So giving ANY minion reborn can be quite nice. 

    Frost DK might consider it, maybe? Seems good alongside Lady Deathwhisper for more spell copies, and Harbinger of Winter for more draw. But i'm not sold on it, Frost DK might be the worst deck for this location.

    Unholy DK will love this. Unholy DK has a bunch of corpse generators, they now got the deathrattle package which synergizes well with this location AND this helps discount Stitched Giant. This seems like a decent inclusion.

    Rainbow DK might use this as well, considering each use of this location = more improvements to Climactic Necrotic Explosion. I think Rainbow DK might use it.

    Worst case scenario, it's Death's Bite but worse due to this having 1 less atk. 

    On average, you probably will be happy with a deal 3-4 damage, which means you need to get armor 2-3 times. Also i guess this has decent synergy with Hookfist-3000.

    Best case scenario, it's a full board wipe, BUT you need some time to setup the board wipe and your weak to weapon removal. Worst case scenario, it's a weaker Death's Bite.

    I'm not convinced about this card, due to it's 4 mana cost AND that you need to build up the weapon in order to get a good removal... And that takes time. Time that your opponent will use in order to prepare a reload, or to kill you before you can wipe the board.

    Great control card! Love to see it. This will see play in any slower Shaman deck. Also BIG Shaman might also just run this in order to survive longer.

    Good idea of paper, probably awkard af in practice. Still it might just see play because it's a Fire Fly esk card, so idunno.

    This is really good. Reminder that Schooling is still in standard, and this seems really good alongside Melomania. Also it's 0 mana! NEVER underestimate 0 mana cards.

    This seems good to me. It's a cheap disover option, and stuff your opponent plays is generally stronger than random stuff. Tess is still in the core set, and there still is the jackpot package from Voyage, so maybe some kind of thief package might still be ran? Not an entire thief deck, just a package. Maybe in some kind of secret rogue? Hmm. 

    I only have 1 problem with this card. WHERE IS THE FIRE SPELL SCHOOL? They really dropped the ball on this one.

    Seems good to me, just play a bunch of minions and give them a buff. Altough it can be counterintuitive sometimes, so you need to be careful when you break the weapon.

    Seems good for Pure and Dude paladin. This can tutor Sanguine Soldier, Sinful Sous Chef and Righteous Protector and even without the Finale, just getting these out of your deck is just a good thing because it thins out your deck. And these are just the class cards. Dude paladin or some other paladin decks might just try out some non-pure versions again. This will see play.
