    Possible targets so far for this: Druid of the Plains after Frenzy triggers, Greybough, Teacher's Pet, Archspore Msshi'fn. It also has quite some good synergy with Germination, Mark of the Spikeshell, Mark of the Wild and Ironbark. It seems like their really pushing taunt druid, in b4 we get a Hadronox reprint in a future set, or in the mini set.

    A strong combo i'm seeing is Twilight Runner and cast something like Ironbark on it. Next turn play Plaguemaw the Rotting before you trade Twilight Runner into something in order to summon a new copy of it. This gives druid a lot more draw.

    Yeh Plaguemaw the Rotting seems quite good alongside taunts with deathrattles. Will probably see play in taunt/control druid and Guardian Animals druid, because of Teacher's Pet

    However there is 1 GIANT problem with this card, and that's that it costs 4 mana, which means that you probably won't run it alongside Kazakus, Golem Shaper. (Unless Kazakus, Golem Shaper is so strong that your willing to wait until you drew Plaguemaw the Rotting from your deck before playing Kazakus, Golem Shaper. Kinda like how most super draw heavy decks run Zephrys the Great as a finisher.)

    Oohh this is actually soo good. Enrage warrior will love it together with Razormane Raider, Warsong Envoy will be buffed AF, and Barrens Blacksmith can buff a lot of minions. Also there will probably be some other Frenzy effects we don't know about yet. Control warrior probably would like it as well, because it can be quite a good board clear together with Blademaster Samuro, and value generation with Peon. Kinda feels weird to see a ress card in warrior, but we already have N'Zoth, God of the Deep as a neutral ress card so i'm not that bothered about it.

    Overlord Saurfang seems like a really good card for warrior, and possibly a must-include in many warrior decks. Which i'm VERY happy about. Even though i don't know much about WoW lore, i have seen some lore video's about Overlord Saurfang and i really like him, i'm glad to finally see him in HS.

    Hmm not this is a VERY interesting card. Almost all druid spells are Nature Spells, considering their nature spell specialists. I think this will see play in some kind of minion base token druid deck, and i think that deck will be decent with cards like Enchanted Raven in the core set. I think Guff Runetotem has a LOT of potential.

    Also in b4 druid gets a Book of Specters reprint, even though it wouldn't synergise that well. (Maybe that deck will run Venomous Scorpid to get spells?)

    Hmm delayed silence that you can play around might see a bit bad, but it's actually very good. Cheap spells allow DH to take adventage of Gadgetzan Auctioneer and maybe use some kind of miracle archetype? (Or it can help transition OTK DH into a Gadgetzan Auctioneer package?) Never underestimate 0 cost spells, their almost always extremely strong or have the potential to become OP. OH and silence is very good against Libram Paladin, which seems like it's still going to be a strong deck next expansion. Also it can help deal with Secret paladin, because you can silence the 3/3s from that new legendary.

    5/5 stars OP AF, must include in any rogue deck, and WILL completely decimate wild. This card will get nerfed as well, because Kingsbane with infinite "immune while attacking" is insane, and weapon rogue in standard is already one of the best decks and it will just get stronger with this. You play a taunt minion? Too bad, they don't even take damage from attacking your taunt minion now...

    Please Blizz stop printing these OP aggro rogue cards, most of us rogue player (And me) just want to get more support for fun archetypes like burgle rogue, or at least some archetypes that are actually interactive and fun to play as and against, instead of just "hehe me swing face with weapon"... :(

    Edit: And it's 1 cost, so Wandmaker generates it... :(

    OP card. In Wild with odd mage

    Uhh i just want to point out it costs 10 mana, ODD cost cards are 1-3-5-7-9 mana. Pretty sure you ment EVEN mage? (Even= 0-2-4-6-8-10 mana)

    But yeh it's a very strong card! :)

    1 mana 1/3 is good already, and on top of that it says CHARACTER which is really good! Of course Enrage warrior will need some more tools, considering Inner Rage, Battle Rage and Risky Skipper are rotating. Regardless Warsong Envoy is already a solid minion, but the second enrage warrior gets more support it will be one of the best 1 drops in standard.

    hey it's Altruis the Outcast the murloc edition! This already seems REALLY good, BUT it will need some more support because RoS is rotating. This means shaman won't have acces to 2/3 infinite murloc generator. I'm very curious as what the new murloc shaman will look like, because Firemancer Flurgl seems solid in both aggresive decks, but MAYBE if it gets some slower murloc support it might even show up on some control/midrange lists.

    Hey everyone, we found Frost Nova! There it is, but now as a legendary card. Varden Dawngrasp is very good, and it has a potential upside of dealing damage to already frozen minions. Varden Dawngrasp is also very strong alongside freeze effects like Flurry (Rank 1), Cone of Cold and other freeze synergy like Glacier Racer. Yeh Varden Dawngrasp has a bright future in standard, and in wild it might be pretty good in highlander mage and probably EVEN-Mage.

    Hmm not quite sure about this card. It seems really good for thinning out your deck, and hunters use Tracking for that currently. And considering Tracking is being reworked, Tavish Stormpike can now do old-Trackings job of thinning out the deck. HOWEVER i still am not sure about all the stuff you can do with it, it might be too easy to remove or too hard to benefit from it early into the game. 

    BUT the ONE thing everyone can agree is, is that he has one glorious beard.

    Very strong arena card, BUT it might see experimentation in standard. After all, this is Vulpera Scoundrels replacement. It might see some kind of play in value/spell Hunter at the very least. Venomous Scorpid will be quite underrated at first, but i'm certain it will see a bunch of play!

    Really cool design. Pretty good in warlock, where you already draw a lot of cards, and maybe it can help with warlocks new theme of burning and milling their own cards. I'm really interested at what the big pay-off card will be for this strategy, and if it's good enough to even play an uncorrupted Tickatus to mill your own deck. (Who knows, maybe we will see a Mecha'thun style of card printed as a warlock win-con that's not Tickatus?)

    People have suggested this idea for a while now actually. Glad to finally see it in the game.

    Hmm this rewards track seems really good. As long as the math checks out i MIGHT purchase the rewards track for once, which is nice considering i don't need to pre-order because i got plenty of gold from the rewards track. (Got like 7k gold ready for next expansion, which is awesome because my previous gold record was 2.5k lol. Yeh i kept buying packs whenever i had 100 gold pre-rewards track.)

    The skins look quite good and it's nice that we get alternate hero skins! (Well except for that rexxar one.)

    This seems quite good in almost any priest deck honestly. Tempo priest enjoys it because it can be a easy 5 mana 8/8 and tempo priest seems like they really like healing stuff in order to boost the attack on their Crimson Clergy or protect their other cards. Control Priest might want it because it's a 5 mana 5/5 with taunt that can become a 8/8 easely. It also has some good synergy with Desperate Prayer, Lightshower Elemental and Renew. Priest of An'she will see plenty of play.

    Premium stats, can discount a lot of paladin cards, including librams and has rush for an immediate effect. Now this screams SUPER STRONG. Cariel Roame will most likely see play for at the very least this entire year, just because of the Libram cards.

    Very strong in libram paladin, and alongside Libram of Wisdom and Animated Broomstick can create some VERY hard to deal with boards and provide a lot of healing. Very strong card.

    Could it truly be...? A GOOD HANDBUFF CARD? And in paladin, the one class who can actually use handbuffs? (In wild at least Handbuff paladin is pretty decent.) This looks very good, and Cariel Roame can lower it's cost to 3 mana. This seems very good.

    Seems strong alongside shadow spells like Drain Soul, Siphon Soul and Mortal Coil. Will certainly see play in Controllock/Tickatuslock at the very least. Maybe in zoo as well, if they print some strong shadow spells.

    Actually a very strong card. There are plenty of Soul Fragments in warlock, so there is a smaller chance to mill something you actually want/need. However, i feel like were going to see some kind of pay-off card for milling your own cards/discarding your cards with all the synergy we have seen so far. (Tiny Knight of Evil and Lakkari Felhound being in the core set, just as some examples.)
