    It's a decent big spell, might see play in wild with Spiteful Summoner. Highly double it'll be added to decks in standard though, if you see this card, it'll be discovered or randomly generated. 

    Pretty amazing card under the right circumstances, like playing Deck of Lunacy and turning all those bombs into 5 mana Cenarion Wards

    Really great unique effect for a secret, and quite interesting how it's amazing against some decks (Big Druid) but might be bad against other decks (Aggro/Token/Zoo). I would probably treat this secret similar to Freezing Trap if there are multiple minions on board

    Finally a legendary totem! This card will also be great in duels as the current HP for shaman wouldn't suck anymore (after blizz nerfed the shizz out of it).

    I'm keen to see the impact this would have in the current totem shaman archetype, might push the deck into Tier 2 if we lucky. Bare in mind this is only the 2nd Shaman card we've seen for this expansion, so we might get more support. Here's hoping

    Only after the game is 6 years old. Better late than never

    Deck of Lunacy is quite tricky coz of the wording. It transforms spells, not creates. And as per the bingo criteria:

    • Random Spells - A Mage card that creates or casts random spells.

    Some interesting stats right there. I bought the Mavka Mythguard title right now, purely coz of the creepy that card art is...

    Thanks again to OoC for an awesome Oozefest! Can't wait for the next event, want to spend all this gold I have :D

    In an all spells deck, you can play Deck of Lunacy into Incanter's Flow. Baring in mind you have both cards in hand. I think playing Incanter's Flow first would have a negative effect as you technically be transforming the spells into ones that cost (2) more?

    I'm just grateful this is draw and not discover. Keen to see how this new standard secret mage shapes up

    This wouldn't see play in a token druid at all. More of a midrange deck where you only have 1 or 2 minions on the board. The best play for this card would be to have 1 midrange minion, attack with Greybough let the deathrattle hit your other minion, then attack with that minion and make sure it dies. At the end of turn you'd have a decent taunt while also removing opponents minions. This excludes anything else you can do on your turn. 

    Also remember, silence is more uncommon these days due to Spellbreaker being HoF'ed. Only real threat of silence is DH

    Least Team 5 is playing it safe with the "It costs (1) this turn." text

    You might find that during playtesting, the card didn't have this text, which enabled some broken combos

    This is an ok card, the value of 2 or more secrets is good on top of the 2/2 weapon. This card would probably be bonkers if it was epic or rare, so legendary status seems fair

    Automatically a 1 mana removal if you have C'Thun, the Shattered in your deck and haven't drawn any pieces. Has lots of potential and is better in control decks where old gods live

    This card would probably see play with Malygos or some control deck. It's definitely a unique and interesting effect, but it's the type of card that's either meta defining or never sees play. 

    Edit: This card has a positive effect on all the old gods, with the exception of Y'Shaarj, the Defiler. And the more high cost, low attack minions that get released, this card needs to be re-evaluated. I have a feeling it'll see plenty of play in the first month of each new expansion, unless it becomes a stable in an OTK deck.

    Edit 2: We'd get our 4 mana 7/7 again with Kael'thas Sunstrider! :O definitely going into an OTK deck.

    Very cool effect. Wouldn't be surprised if this legendary managed to find it's way into pure paladin decklists.

    The lore around this dreadlord is quite interesting as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=qyoMLODeXQM

    Ok legendary. Definitely more of a build around legendary where you add shuffle cards like Togwaggle's Scheme and Ticket Master. At worst, it draws one card. Think it would've been better at 5 mana. Bare in mind, that this doesn't draw all the pieces to C'Thun, the Shattered coz each piece has a different name

    It's a strong turn 4 play, but all the opponent needs to do is try trigger the secret that was cast the turn earlier. If it's Rigged Faire Game certain classes with access to 1 damage pings will be able to stall Occult Conjurer. Secret mage also depends on how aggro the new meta will be

    Aggressively stated, but the effect belongs in a more value orientated control deck, so this card is a weird mix. Doubt it will see play unless a wild OTK combo appears
