5 star card. Why: Mana cheat AND tutoring. This is NUTS. Discounts and draws [card]Fierce outsider[/card] and [card]Vengeful walloper[/card] in outcast DH and it discounts and draws [card]Halveria darkraven[/card] in whatever deck that fits in.

Other notable rush minions include: [card]Azsharan Defector[/card], [card]Illidari inquisitor[/card] and maybe [card]Shambling Chow[/card].

Edit: forgot about [card]Snakebite[/card], this makes [card]Snakebite[/card] so much better.

So this acts like a worse [card]Clawfury adept[/card] on its own, but needs more cards in order to get more buffs. This seems... alright to me i guess? It's still a finisher and thus needs to be respected, but at the same time it doesn't look like the greatest finisher to me. 

This seems alright to me, not bad but also not nuts. Seems good with +attack cards like [card]Dispose of evidence[/card]. 

DH weapons in standard after rotation + core set change: [card]Flamereaper[/card], [card]Glaivetar[/card], [card]Souleater's scythe[/card], [card]Bone Glaive[/card], [card]Calamity's grasp[/card], [card]Magnifying glaive[/card] and [card]aldrachi warblades[/card]. 

Seems alright to me. It's restricted to DH cards which is a good thing. It's hard to kill on turn 4, and can curve alright into [card]Going down swinging[/card]. Honestly i think outcast DH is going …

[card]Unleash fel[/card] is better, and running this only because of [card]Going down swinging[/card] isn't worth it. Arena card.

Well this seems really good. A 4 attack weapon is good in DH, and Scythe showed that card like these even with no text are still good for going FACE. 

Outcast DH is already on the verge of working out, and this weapon seems especially good as long as you draw 2 cards which means it's already great if …

[card]Possessed lackey[/card] reprint, and obviously powercrept because if has better stats and can pull a powercrept version of [card]Voidlord[/card]. ([card]Annoy-o-troupe[/card]) Also looking at the text, i think you can manipulate the cards that get pulled? Lets say you want to summon a minion with 3+ attack, then you need to buff [card]Lead dancer[/card] with idunno a card like [card]blessing of …

Powercrept [card]Voidlord[/card]? I think this will see play. It does require some support, like [card]Kangor, dancing king[/card] and [card]lead dancer[/card]. I think this will be a card people can sleep on. This is super annoying to remove, and can stall for some time. 

Also on twitter they confirmed [card]Annoy-o-troupe[/card] can be summoned from [card]Annoy-o horn[/card]. So i guess [card]kazakusan[/card] …

OH YES, i love these often complete trash *ahem* fun legendaries! Don't care how competative this card will be, i will be playing BIG Paladin a lot! 

But okay lets see if this can have any chance. BIG Paladin can get [card]Starlight groove[/card] for survivability, and the core set has a lot of nice things for paladin, like the …

Well now that we know the core set, [card]Inzah[/card] seems a lot better. (Mainly thanks to [card]overdraft[/card] being in core) [card]Inzah[/card] makes it so you can cheat a LOT of mana throughout a game, and i feel like this will be a must-include in a lot of shaman decks that use a bunch of overload cards.

Oh and also …

Would [card]ragnaros the firelord[/card] be good enough these days for only 5 mana, or 4 after [card]inzah[/card]? To me the answer is... OBVIOUSLY YES! This card seems nuts, especially with the overload package, but this card doesn't even need the overload package. I feel like this will be a solid inclusion in almost every shaman deck for quite some time.

So if your overloaded this costs 2 mana, and after [card]inzah[/card] it costs only 1 mana when overloaded. This seems great for any slower shaman deck!

Hmm, this seems alright. Not bad but also not great. This needs some real support, otherwise it's just a minion you like to evolve into. Seems great in arena though.

Mana cheat. Insta 5-star card. Shaman will use this a bunch.

This will be an important card for shaman in this first expansion. This will replace [card]Tiny toys[/card] in evolve shaman decks, and overload shaman will obviously also use this. This seems good alongside [card]Inzah[/card] and [card]Jazz Bass[/card]. Also [card]FlowRider[/card] can discover this from your deck, and you can also [card]Jive, Insect![/card] one of the summoned minions on the next turn... …

A draw option for shaman, this will see play just because of that. And it tutors a spell from your deck, which is nice. It's often similar to a [card]thrive in the shadows[/card] on a stick, which sounds very strong to me.

Personal opinions on these nerfs:

[card]Grey sage parrot[/card]: Great nerf for Wild, and this nerf shouldn't affect standard Big spell mage. For standard players wondering why this got nerfed: [card]Time Warp[/card].

[card]Spectral Pillager[/card]: Amazing nerf, it felt horrible to die to this card. Glad that turn 5-ish OTK from hand deck is gone.

[card]Cataclysm[/card]: I'm feeling mixed …

Quote From Pezman

Here's what I understand: [card]Goldshire Gnoll[/card] is now the only 11 cost minion in standard, so any time you evolve a 10 cost minion, you'll get this guaranteed. Is that right?

What is the [card]Grey Sage Parrot[/card] nerf supposed to do? What 5 mana spell is being blocked here?

I like the [card]Construct …

Quote From Brandon

Maybe that deck might also use [card]Celestial Alignment[/card] for the mana cheat? Meh.

Seems like anti-synergy to me, because then you won't reach 11 Mana Crystals for the Manathirst.

Yeah that is true. But at the same time druid can still do a lot …

Standard: Meh, maybe some slower warlock deck might run it just because it's a 3 mana potential board clear. Doesn't seem that good.

Wild: Trash. 1: It doesn't go FACE. 2: Discolock prefers nuking you after they play [card]Cataclysm[/card]. 3: Doesn't need a card like this.
