    Permanent Electra Stormsurge?!? Wow that's OP. And it got support with cards like Overdraft. This seems super strong, shaman is getting the absolute NUTS in terms of new cards. These new shaman cards are crazy strong.

    But back to Command the Elements. Doubling your spells is just crazy, this gives shaman so much more burst potential, especially in wild. In standard you have cards such as Serpentshrine Portal, Lightning Bolt and Stormstrike that can combo with it very well. But i feel like Command the Elements shaman in STANDARD does need some spell damage stuff in order to burst your opponent down. And card draw but i feel like shaman got plenty of draw these days.

    Oh and in wild you got Lava Burst and Crackle. And after casting those you can Overdraft for even more damage.

    Honestly in Wild you might not even need Malygos in order to otk. The Spirit of the Frog package should be enough in terms of card draw and it already runs overload cards such as Zap! and Voltaic Burst. Command the Elements seems solid in wild.

    Ooh this seems quite interesting. Maybe Guardian Animals finally sees play in hunter. Tradeable is also REALLY GOOD on it, because you can put it back into your deck so it can get summoned with Guardian Animals.

    Yeh in Standard this might see play in some kind of Guardian Animals hunter deck, probably alongside cards like The Rat King

    In wild i dont think it sees any play. Yeh hunter is still not the best class in wild, and i dont think Highlander Hunter (probably to most popular hunter deck as far as i know off.) most likely doesnt run this. Way to slow for a meta where turn 5 is the turn you probably win or lose the game.

    Oh special mention for duels: This seems really strong with the trigger a deathrattle hero power. Normally i dont mention duels, but this is a special case honestly.

    VERY strong card. This + Field Contact is strong, and it probably replaces Sinister Strike in weapon rogue. Actually weapon rogue is certainly a deck it fits in quite well, considering weapon rogue has a LOT of draw.

    The only thing i find weird about this card is that the bleeds are shuffled in YOUR deck, doesn't really make sense considering your opponent is supposed to bleed. Still the bleeds being shuffled in your deck makes Garrote a LOT better, but it's still weird.

    In wild it probably sees play in some meme deck or something, probably alongside Augmented Elekk. Actually that honestly sounds pretty fun to try out ngl. I bet Markmckz is going to make some OTK with it, which will be fun to watch.

    Seems like a very interesting card that can be used in deathrattle DH. Can help thin out their deck, and with tradeable you can guarantee that one stays in the deck. But still i feel like deathrattle DH has better options. 

    Standard: Maybe deathrattle DH experiments with it, but i'm guessing that it wont see play unless it gets more support. The best support it could get is a way to shuffle more in deck, and it would be weird if they give DH a shuffle archetype. (which is mainly rogues thing honestly. (Honestly this feels so much like a rogue card that i had to rewrite this comment because i at first thought it was a rogue card lol.)

    Oh and for wild: EVEN cost so it wont see play i guess.

    Really interesting card. She basicly relies on tradeable being good to see play. As long as you have a bunch of tradeable cards in your deck it might be worth using her so every tradeable card basicly turns into Tracking. IF tradeable becomes an evergreen keyword then Auctioneer Jaxon only becomes a lot better, and people are already asking for that for some reason... Despite tradeable cards not being released yet... Tbh basicly every area in WoW has shopkeepers so it kinda makes sense?

    Very interesting card. Seems like it has a lot of potential, especially with Celestial Alignment.

    Wouldnt be surprised to see a Malygos Celestial Alignment deck show up that uses Oracle of Elune to summon a bunch of Malygos (with cards like Faceless Manipulator). Probably wont be as good as the Avianna khun combos, but could still be fun to play.

    This is a quite dissapointing card, but still decent i guess? Honestly i dont see how this is a legendary effect, considering Bladed Lady is similar and has rush. Not only that but Mountain Giant and Flesh Giant do it's job WAY better, and those are no legendaries.

    I kinda feel like it was supposed to be 6/8 with taunt. If that was the case then Anetheron would be a lot better.

    The only deck i see this played it is this handlock deck they are trying to push, and in wild it fits well in EVEN-lock.

    Still kinda dissapointing that Anetheron is so bad considering he is so important to [Hearthstone Card (Kurtras Ashfallen) Not Found]s lore/story. This common "legendary" is such a dissapointment... I feel bad for whoever unpacks this. That being sad i'm not 100% sure it's going to be my first legendary, cuz i'm unlucky most of the time. :P

    Hmm handlock card. Seems like a worse Abyssal Summoner, as the summoned fiend probably doesn't have taunt. 

    Yeh i dont think this card will be that good, even with its Tamsin Roame synergy.

    Funny meme card, i like it. Fits well in the *ultra memey* ogre deck in wild. Maybe discounts Boulderfist Ogre to 5 mana, which is "absolutely broken" with Boulderfist Ogres good stats for it's cost. And it has a 50% chance of nerfing Boulderfist Ogre to 7 mana, making it "obviously Balanced". After all those amazing stats for the cost are way to OP at 6 mana.

    Really strong card alongside Infiltrator Lilian. Maybe Infiltrator Lilian + Counterfeit Blade becomes a good core for aggresive rogue decks? But it could also use some support, which it probably will get this set.

    Counterfeit Blade has a lot of potential, and i think it will see plenty of play.

    Wow what a peace of hot garbage. Basicly budget Truesilver Champion that cant go face. This is 100% made for a control deck, BUT i feel like Libram of Judgment is a card you rather use instead of Lightbringer's Hammer

    Yeh this is just dust. Maybe arena card at best.

    Incredible card. Bolner Hammerbeak has OTK potential with Y'Shaarj, the Defiler and Lightning Bloom, can be a draw engine together with cards like Primal Dungeoneer. Oh and apparently if you play Bolner Hammerbeak before playing a battlecry minion, IT DOUBLES IT because the text says "AFTER". Oh and it has 4 health, and as we know from cards like Efficient Octo-bot and the watchposts, 2 mana 4 health minions can be HARD to remove on turn 2.

    So basicly Bolner Hammerbeak acts like a Brann Bronzebeard for the 1st battlecry minion played AND repeats the battlecry of the 1st battlecry minion after each other battlecry minion you play.

    Not just all of that, BUT Bolner Hammerbeak is also NUTS in wild, because of lackeys. Imagine each lacky also having the Lifedrinker battlecry because of Bolner Hammerbeak....

    Bolner Hammerbeak i.m.o. is a 10/5 star card, this card is absolutely insane.

    For now this seems like an AOE boardclear, you hero gets some attack and you probably draw 2 cards. For 8 mana thats pretty nice. Jace Darkweaver kinda gives me Tess Greymane vibes, but Jace Darkweaver works only with fel spells. Oh i just noticed Mana Burn also works with Jace Darkweaver... that's annoying. 

    I bet were going to see a lot more fel spell support for DH, and even if we do not see any support any time we do get a new fell spell in the future can make Jace Darkweaver a lot stronger.

    Super powerfull effect. Paladin often already uses First Day of School, Knight of Anointment, Righteous Protector, Aldor Attendant and Pen Flinger in most of their decks, so why not add Rise to the Occasion in as an alternate wincondition?

    Also this gives rise to the Dude paladin deck that has been teased a lot with cards such as Lothraxion the Redeemed, Pursuit of Justice and Day at the Faire/Stand Against Darkness.

    The upgraded hero power alone is already super strong, it's the main reason ODD Paladin is a strong deck. 

    Wild: Speaking of ODD Paladin, i dunno if ODD paladin even want this. Pretty sure they prefer playing a card like Lost in the Jungle on turn 1, instead of 1 mana do nothing. But still the infinite +2/+2 might make them experiment with it.

    Hmm i dunno if this sees play. Zoolock has been waiting for some wide buffs for demons, but i dont think this is good enough. Also i'm not certain if zoolock even wants to use a tradable card to trade, considering they probably want to just play minions and aim face. Also it clashes with Free Admission.

    I kinda hope the card sees play, but it probably wont...

    FINALLY THEY PRINTED A MEME CARD! I have honestly been waiting for this for a while, i'm certainly going to play around with Elwynn Boar!

    But outside of meme decks obviously just a bad card. But when it works it will be glorious.

    Hmm seem very bad on first glance, but after thinking about this card for.... quite a while... I'm thinking it's not that bad anymore.

    Classes with horrible card draw can really use Cornelius Roame. So naturally it will probably fit into: Shadow Priest and Seek Guidance Priest. Maybe aggresive paladin decks might also include it. Meh they probably prefer Voracious Reader.

    Cornelius Roame will certainly see play for a while... Untill at least Priest gets better/good card draw, after which it wont see play anymore.

    In wild it certainly wont see any play.

    Wow, some hot garbage.

    Sword and Board is better for removal, and pirate warrior goes SMOrc. Why would a SMOrc deck run removal, when they can run another pirate instead?

    The only time i see this getting played if warrior gets some kind of control pirate warrior cards, which already sounds very weird. Actually they said the warrior quest is going to be aggresive, so my guess is that the warrior quest is going to be all about playing pirates. (At least that's my guess atm.)

    Standard: Maybe pirate warrior will consider it if that gets pushed.

    Wild: Wont see play, Pirate warrior goes SMOrc.

    Hey its powercrept Savage Combatant. Still Park Panther is quite an interesting and really strong card. On the one hand it's very good for aggresive druid decks, but on the other hand there is only 1 aggresive druid deck: Token Druid. I'm not certain if token druid even wants Park Panther.

    HOWEVER, i feel like there might be more to Park Panther than meets the eye. Maybe Park Panther hints towards more cards that give your hero attack or gain an effect if your hero attacked? Either way it would be very strange if Park Panther doesn't get any support this set.

    In standard: I think token druid might consider it?

    Wild: Wont see play, because the best aggro druid deck, Token Druid doesnt want cards that cost 3+ mana (unless it's Savage Roar.)

    Very interesting card. Seems super solid in evolve shaman decks. But outside of evolve shaman decks, you probably want to highroll some deathrattle minions or minions with additional effects with Tiny Toys.

    So far the best minions as to get in standard (at the time of writing this) with Tiny Toys are: Al'ar, Burning Blade Acolyte, Ras Frostwhisper, Moonfang, Headmaster Kel'Thuzad, Inara Stormcrash, Overlord Runthak, Taelan Fordring, Ogremancer and Totem Goliath. So basicly 10 out of 30 minions are good, which is actually a pretty good chance to get some good minions! And considering you summon 4 minions with Tiny Toys, your generally going to get 1 good minion + 1 in 3 chance of getting another good minion. (Of course your not guaranteed a good minion, as it's a 1 in 3 chance on each roll. luck certainly plays a factor)

    I actually think it might see play outside of evolve shaman, not sure what deck though. Maybe control shaman might slot 1 copy in?

    In wild i'm certain it will see play in Evolve Shaman. Maybe EVEN Shaman might consider it? Either way i'm not even gonna look at the wild options, because i'm NOT going to look at 154 WILD cards. (excluding the ones in standard, otherwise i would have to look at 184 cards...)
