New Priest Reveals - Mindflayer Kaahrj & Chronobreaker

Chronobreaker: Ugh. I'll be the first to admit that I've disagreed with the majority view on most of the reveals so far - in part because of my reactionary nature, and in part because in my opinion people don't seem …

New Priest Reveals - Mindflayer Kaahrj & Chronobreaker

I wouldn't normally comment to correct someone's spelling, but I feel I should interject to note the name is Violet Hold. Entirely because Violate hold is a different and significantly less PG place.

Hunter Weapon Reveal - Stormhammer

Not a lot of analysis going on over here aside from 'hunter wat'.

For what it's worth: skeptical that it'll see play. Eaglehorn Bow already does the same thing but better, in any deck that isn't specifically dragon-centric. And …

New Card Reveal - Tentacled Menace

Hm. Interesting. Not playable, but interesting.

No major analysis from me that hasn't already been addressed in the comments below, but will make one point that several people seem to have missed - whether your card becomes cheaper or …

New Card Reveal - Depth Charge

To be fair, Mecha'thun Lock has been running Doomsayer-Treachery for some time now in high legend lists (in Wild, obviously) because you don't want to run removal that can't be cleansed by Hemet. Obviously Doomsayer is better than this card …

Legendary Card Reveal - Frizz Kindleroost

Both posts in this thread are pretty bang on my reasoning too. It's not a bad card, it's a very strong one subjectively and it will see play in every dragon deck. But it's not the world being razed.

Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Reveal Season #5

Whilst I disagree with a few of the analyses here, no point me re-posting an opinion I already posted on the individual card pages, so I shall limit myself to only one objection:

Babbling Book x Glyph? That'd produce …

Rogue Card Reveal - Stowaway

Reeeeeeal expensive, which makes the analysis easy. It's good for shuffle-centric (i.e. meme) decks, bad for every other Rogue archetype. Unless, of course, we see Pogo Hoppers back in the mainstream meta, which is unlikely and concerning.

Shaman Legendary Card Reveal - Bandersmosh

Hm. Lot of back-and-forth in these comments.

My take: it's bad. It's a dead draw on the turn you draw it, and it stands a good chance of being effectively dead (by being vanilla 5/5 or worse) on each …

Card Reveals - Cumulo-Maximus & Zzeraku the Warped
Quote From PopeNeia

Ouch... you would think one wrong name would lead to 3 downvotes haha. But yeah, if the card is as strong as we predict it is, and control is able to push out aggro decks, …

Two Mage Cards - Dragoncaster & Arcane Breath

Not bad at all, both should see play. That said, note that people seem to be tunnelling on the highroll potential of Dragoncaster when the reality will often fall short of that margin. To really have a major impact you …

Shaman Legendary Card Reveal - Nithogg

Trash for Quest Shaman (see my post on the 5/5 that was revealed earlier for rationale). 

Could be playable in some kind of theoretical midrange Shaman, but it'd have to be a heavily tempo-oriented one since this is basically …

Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Reveal Season #4

Honestly confused at why people keep saying Diving Gryphon is a good card. It absolutely won't see play.

When you're looking at a hunter deck to consider the card in, we're looking at either a) an aggressive deck, or …

Card Reveals - Cumulo-Maximus & Zzeraku the Warped

This card is currently being massively overrated by the community, because as usual people are looking at the card in a vacuum instead of looking at the context of the deck. Just because a card has a good battlecry doesn't …

New Warlock Minion - Zzeraku the Warped

It's bizarre seeing the reactions to this card - half the comments think it's garbage and half think it's completely busted. 

The truth, I feel, is that it's neither - it's an okay card, not particularly strong (sloooow and …

Card Reveals - Cumulo-Maximus & Zzeraku the Warped

Assuming you mean Sludge Slurper here. And they also run Sandstorm Elemental.

Pirate Card Reveal - Kobold Stickyfinger

Good card? Probably not. Funny card? Definitely.

Priest Card Reveal - Breath of the Infinite

Unusually, I find myself agreeing with the hype so far. I mean, it's not exactly gamebreaking, but it's a very good card that we should expect to see for the next 15 months - hell, Demonwrath is still seeing play …

Warrior Legendary Weapon Reveal - Ancharrr

Real simple analysis. Is this going to draw cards for your deck? If so - busted. If not - terribad.

I don't honestly expect Pirate Warrior to be strong, though, even if they print more pirates. Pirate Warrior wasn't …

Mage Legendary Reveal - Chenvaala

Oh, additional note I forgot to mention in my original post - comparisons to Dragon Soul are honestly pretty useless. That was a weapon in a meta that saw practically every deck running weapon removal, in a deck that ran …
