    I don't think this will see play. Fire Breather is a lot better in terms of doing damage, and it's cheaper as well. I don't think anyone would use Dread Infernal over Fire Breather....

    Lord Jaraxxus has been sad, he wasn't seeing any play and people called him a meme. One day he came across Deathstalker Rexxar and was amazed. How could 1 (hero) card turn an aggro deck into a control/value deck on it's own? Lord Jaraxxus then went under Deathstalker Rexxars tutorship and now came back as an actual hero card, that can turn a control deck into an aggro deck. Now he is ready for his revenge.

    Okay Lord Jaraxxus seems really powerful and can turn control decks into a more aggro playstyle with the infinite amounts of 6/6 minions the hero power generates, and he still has that good weapon. I think Lord Jaraxxus will 100% see play, it's too good to not see any play.

    THANK YOGG it's in the core set. One of the best/most solid clears, and it has one of the most beautiful animations in the game.

    Great buff, personally was already using 1 copy in control warlock decks so i'm happy to see it buffed. If Assassinate got buffed and Siphon Soul didn't than that would have been really weird.

    Wow, it's still useless. The only thing this is good for is destroying eggs, because why would you want your minions be easier to remove. Also it's bad because of it's Demon tag, making it a bad target for ress effects like the Warlock Prime.

    Solid removal and great burst for spell-damage shaman. Glad to see it in the core set.

    YES! i love this lill elemental, i remember running it in all my shaman decks. This is the most perfect kind of support for Elemental Shaman, laways playable and gives you something you want: Elementals. Great Value and playing it always feels good. Also might make it so Firework Elemental sees play! (When generated by Menacing Nimbus lol.)

    Hmm feels like it's here to buff windfury cards. Still nice to see the classic Rockbiter Weapon Doomhammer combo in the core set.

    Meh, still seems bad. Best case scenario you would be able to give a big minions windfury to hit for some damage? Meh probably still isn't good enough to be put in decks. You probably see it from random generation instead. (And WAY less because Zephrys the Great rotates)

    Meh, i don't think it will see play. It's way too easy to remove AND the pay-off is not good enough. IF it was +2/+1 it would be so much better. (Maybe too good, but Shaman generally need more than "good" to make any impact on the meta.)

    Perfect buff, now it's REALLY good. Why? Because now the healing scales with spell-damage! Before it was bad because you could theoratically deal 8 damage with it, but still only heal for 4 health. Now that it's Lifesteal it will surely see play in control decks, and probably some spell-damage deck in order to remove taunts?

    Great removal, good flavor and used a lot. Glad to see it in the core set.

    Great buff, now less easy to remove and it might actually see play now in elemental Shaman. (If it gets support)

    Amazing buff, might actually see play now. The overload was way too punishing, and now it's a lot better. I can see control decks run it already. (And Overload Shaman)

    This buff really helped out, before this card always felt bad for you or your opponent because of the high rolls. But now it's flat 3 damage, and that's really good! 3 Health actually still removes a lot of things, and it against aggro you can always play Landslide the turn after. Lightning Storm has always been a helpful card, and with this buff it will only get better.

    Solid and all around really usefull card. Totem shaman loves it, and control shaman decks love it, actually almost every shaman deck pretty much loves it. Glad to see this iconic Shaman card in the core set, Shaman really needed this all around good card draw.

    Really good in Totem Shaman, but Totem Shaman is going to lose a lot of support because of the rotation. (And losing Bloodlust) But considering this got added into the core set, i wouldn't be surprised if they print some new totem shaman cards.

    Hmm it stil has potential, considering that Rockbiter Weapon is also in the core set. It also sees occasionally play in some overload Shaman decks. It's just unfortunate that most shamans will probably prefer Boggspine Knuckles as their weapon, now that the Evolve pool is a lot better.

    Well it might be playable with the buff. That overload was always way too harsh and made it unplayable, but now Control shamans MIGHT consider running him.
