    Hmmm, i dont really know how good this is. Cheap Assassinate effects are good, and it costs the same mana as Sap, but that's kinda the problem. Sap doesn't see that much play anymore. So i'm struggling to see Murder Accusation included in many decks, especially considering you NEED your opponent to have a bigger minion AND a smaller one you can easely kill. So it's pretty conditional.

    Still 2 mana Assassinate like effects will probably see play at some point, but still i have a hard time seeing what it slots into.

    I think this is a decent card, it seems good in totem shaman but that deck is bad right now and unless it gets more support it wont be good. However Totemic Evidence is a WAY better option for [Hearthstone Card (Bioluminescense) Not Found] OTKs in burn shaman. This card will see play. 

    Oh and is that the spell-damage totem in the infused art? If so, then thats funny, especially because this is a shadowlands/afterlife expansion.

    Okay, so now instead of paying a bunch of gold for more hero options at the start of a BG game, you are now FORCED to pay REAL money in order to get more options? Now that's straight up P2W, because you can spend money in order to increase the chance of getting a better hero. Sure they say that they will balance the other heros in order to make up for the less slots, but lets be real...

    If they say there going to balance the heros better.... WHY DIDN'T THEY DO IT ALREADY? Additionally if you look at this from a business standpoint, they probably WANT most heros to be trash. Why? Because that will incentify players to buy the pass in order to get a increased chance of getting a better hero. Additionally when i'm talking about balance, the armor system is honestly not that good. Too much armor = more highroll games, which are boring because then it's highroll vs highroll. Don't hit the card you want? Concede. And on top of that, their often pretty late with removing armor from OP heroes, so that just makes their previous track-record look worse. So i personally have no faith in blizzard actually balancing the heroes.

    Tbh one of the things people also forget about is that there is Lobby legends, which is the BG E-SPORT. Which means if you buy the pass for more hero options, your actually getting a BIG competative advantage... because getting better heroes = climbing a bit easier = better chances in the long-run of reaching Lobby Legends, high MMR or the top of the leaderboards. So basically by spending money, you get a competative edge in a mode that has it's own dedicated E-SPORT. That goes way too far.

    Honestly, have they learned NOTHING from the previous Battle Pas controversy?!? I just don't understand why there is no way to unlock those slots with gold. (Actually i do, its "Blizzard Greed") If this pass was cosmetic only, (And maybe a EXP boost or something) like the battle pass then there would be not that much to complain about, actually the rest of the update looks very good/interesting. It's just this P2W bs that's holding the update back. R.I.P. the most F2P friendly mode in HS. (Which was also one of the main reasons why its so popular.)

    60 packs opened (total of 8 saved up + 5200 gold)

    i got Kryxis the Voracious, Kael'thas Sinstrider, Stewart the Steward, Kel'Thuzad, the Inevitable and a Golden Decimator Olgra. In terms of legendaries i got some pretty good openings, just a shame i got pretty much all the bad epics (*ahem Sinfueled Golems*, and i'm missing a LOT of good epics. 

    Also from the rewards track random legendary at like lvl 20 ish, i got Huntsman Altimor. And i got the rewards track as usual, so i got the diamond Murloc Holmes.

    At least i'm able to play a couple of decks day 1, so i'm happy.

    INSANE value card, will see play in a bunch of decks. Secret decks will love it, and i bet that some other control decks will just slot it in, just to get some value and/or disruption. Also Questline priest will probably include this because this alone can trigger the 2 and 3 cost card of the questline, if you hit a mage secret.

    Seems decent in Priest, but i feel like it's not good enough.

    Totem shaman card, probably dust. And in wild its ODD costed, so bad as well. Maybe in standard priest might experiment with it?

    Seems very good in aggresive decks because of the "recruit" effect, not sure about BIG decks though. Also summoning itself is a pretty big lowroll. Still it seems pretty good.

    Must-include in many secret decks, both in standard and wild. Also its says NEXT secret, which means you can play this on turn 2 and secret + secret pay-off card on turn 3.

    Hey it's Faceless Lackey but it costs 1 more mana, cant wait for more Doomsayers from it! At least evolve shaman has a way to quickly evolve the Doomsayer instantly with the locaton.

    Could see play in deathrattle decks and maybe questline priest, but probably not. It IS a very good arena card though.

    5 mana 5/5 with infuse 5 and deal 5 dmg... Thats a lot of 5s. Too bad it's only getting a 1 star from me, even though i was tempted to give it 5, cuz 5.

    Seems pretty weak to me, not sure if secret decks in standard will use this... Maybe a more control focused secret mage? In wild 0/5 cards, free dust.

    This seems good for a lot of aggro decks, because it can be 0 mana easely in those decks, and the lifesteal helps against aggro vs aggro matchups. Very good card.

    Sees okay, might see play. But im guessing mostly in arena, seems slow for aggro decks these days.

    Seems good in deathrattle decks, a big body with immediate impact is pretty good.

    As much as i like the name, art, effect and flavor... this seems like a arena card, unfortunatly.
