    This seems like a good totem card.... IF totem shaman is good. But for now to me it seems like Murloc shaman and maybe even evolve shaman will just be WAY better alternatives.

    Evolve and Devolve in 1 card. Yeah this will be a must-include in SO MANY shaman decks.

    Standard: Still not convinced about totem shaman, it needs more support other than a highroll "play legendary on curve".

    Wild: EVEN totem shaman will LOVE this card. And it probably also sees play in a normal totem shaman deck.

    Standard: Seems good with Brilliant Macaw but it's a legendary, which means its going to be hard to draw. I feel like standard totem shaman is just going to be a high-roll deck, with The Stonewright on 4 and turn 5 [Hearthstone Card (Brillaint Macaw) Not Found] (and maybe Bolner Hammerbeak). But the problem is that this highroll DOESN'T win you the game, it just gives you a chance to come back after a bunch of bad turns. Why play a deck that needs to highroll in order to stand a chance at winning, when you can play an actual deck that can win games without highrolling instead?

    Wild: EVEN Totem shaman will LOVE this legendary.

    In standard this seems like a pretty decent to strong legendary. This will be a must-include in evolve shaman.

    In wild wow this will be pretty good with all the evolve effects in wild. Sure it might be a bit slower of a deck which isn't often that good in wild, but evolve shaman remains a pretty fun deck and it slots right into it. Baroness Vashj + Unstable Evolution seems pretty decent to me.

    Single target Lightbomb and a way better Shadow Word: Death and Holy Smite this is a must-include in any control priest and maybe some other priest decks also just slot it in because its 1 mana remove a minion.

    Alright this will be a very good card in thief priest, but also in non-thief priest decks. I think some of the control priest decks might include this as a value option and in order to scout out what kind of deck their opponent is playing. Also it gives information about your opponents hand which is often quite decent.

    Seems very good alongside Pelagos and Serpent Wig. But i don't know if naga priest even want to run this card, so i dont know if there will be a home for it, unless Pelagos creates a brand new kinda deck which does have a spot for Partner in Crime.

    Hmm this is a interesting card. It seems like it's a worse Shadow Word: Ruin, but i think it has a niche in Questline priest. After all it costs 5 mana, and questline priest would probably like a 5 cost spell like this one. At least, i have played quite a bunch of questline priest recently.. and the 5 cost card is the card i'm personally stuck on the most.

    This card is awesome for thief priest, great pay-off card for actually running that deck. However i'm a bit confused at the wording.. Does it reduce the cost of cards in hand, or both in hand and in deck? If so then that's pretty good with Archbishop Benedictus in wild. Either way this is a must-include in any thief priest deck.

    Good with Pelagos but thats i.m.o. where it ends... This just seems kinda bad? Maybe an arena card.

    Insane. Pelagos + Serpent Wig is already a very strong combo, and High Priest Amet saw a bunch of play because of his effect and Pelagos does something similar. This fits perfectly into Bless/Naga priest, and maybe some other aggresive priest decks as well.

    Well, this is a interesting card. I can see this card being pretty annoying to play against when it gets the right kinda support, but thats something that you can say about every priest card. Either way this card seems like it has a lot of potential. And in wild this slots right into thief priest, which has a few more tools in wild... Yet again "few more" as its not that good of a deck. But hey its a fun (to play) deck and thats all that matters.

    So basically Sap and Blademaster Okani as a secret, but the battlecry does still trigger. Hmm i'm not sure about this secret. It still seems pretty good in case your opponent plays a rush card, or an big minion. This can really disrupt your opponent pretty often, but who knows. If this secret is popular than chances are that your opponent will play around it by playing a cheap battlecry minion first.

    disruption for secret rogue, i like it. You can really mess with your opponent this way, and if your opponent finishes lets say a questline and you don't have Mutanus the Devourer or Theotar, the Mad Duke in hand, then you can use Ghastly Gravedigger to delay them playing their quest reward.. unless they insta-topdeck it. (Which knowing my luck will happen 99% of the time if i'm in such a situation.)

    Very cool card, and i like it a lot. The problem? Rogue secrets are EASY to trigger, which means your opponent can easely just trigger secrets first, and then kill Halkias. I really hope they give Halkias rush as a buff, should it be a unplayable garbage card. Because if it had rush, at least you could trade it into something, and if Halkias died it would have gone into a secret right away. Yeah Halkias really is a lot worse because it doesn't have rush.

    So you need to spend lots of mana to get big weapon, which gets countered by a tech card that already sees LOTS of play? I feel like the location is better for miracle decks.

    Dirty Tricks but better i.m.o. This secrets existence makes it so your opponent has to choose between helping you by spending all their mana, or to keep making sub-optimal plays just so you dont draw 2 cards. Also Dirty Tricks was pretty much a must-include in every rogue deck in its time. And right now rogue really needs draw, so Double Cross comes at the perfect time. This will be a must-include for quite some time.

    Very good card, will see play in any rogue secret deck, and maybe some other aggresive rogue decks might include this as well.

    Hmm im not sure about this card. Honestly it's just because at best you get a 0 mana 3/4. But you still have to pay 4 mana for it. I'm not sure how good this will be, however Secret rogue will still include this just because it's secret support and it fetches secrets from deck, improving your future card draw.
