    That's a lot of stats behind 3 taunt minions, which will ruin aggro dreams. That alone makes me happy and want to play this spell. Big Holy Spell Paladin, here we come!

    Well this spell paired with Kotori Lightblade would be scary. And if I'm reading it correctly, if you play Immortalized in Stone for eg, this would become 3 mana?

    So the obvious choice is to add Seafloor Savior to a handbuff paladin but holding onto this card just for a +1/+1 buff from Alliance Bannerman isn't good. TBH I doubt this card will see much play, unless additional hand buffs like Smuggler's Run are added to the core set.

    This legendary will be a menace to token/aggro decks if it turns out to be good. Lady S'theno could slot into Fel or Quest DH as both decks run a lot of spells. And with Immolation Aura rotation, DH needs some tools to remove small minions. Also good that you know which enemy it'll attack, so you can setup some nice removal with Fel Barrage too.

    You can also guarantee she will keep hitting face when against spell based decks like Quest Mage.

    Excited about this legendary, definitely fair and balanced

    Wow I really like this card. The 2 attack on an immune minion seems pretty reasonable and fairly balanced. DH enjoys slinging spells as much as Mage these days. I see this legendary as the bane to all aggro/token decks

    I assume the gameplay animation will be similar to Goliath, Sneed's Masterpiece as long as you play a naga to get the 2nd effect. You could combo this spell with Raj Naz'jan so Quest hunter is looking pretty scary now

    So the effect is obviously insane with Take their Gold! being the most broken option but Take their Supplies! will ruin many Quest and combo decks.

    But summoning 8 pirates for Rogue... sure we have Azsharan Vessel but we need more pirates in the core set to reliably summon 8

    So I feel Queen Azshara will be good in certain decks, but only for a certain ancient relic. For eg: Shadow priest and Quest Hunter would always choose Xal'atath, while Big Spell mage will favor Ring of Tides

    Ofc though it depends on your current board situation, like if you low on cards, you may want to choose Tidestone of Golganneth just for the draw.

    This is ofc, the day 1 legendary I will craft... maybe golden

    The shenanigans that will happen in wild... best not to dwell on them, might give you nightmares.

    As for standard, I don't see any minions really that would want their stats swapped, but I'm sure someone will figure out a broken combo

    Not sold on this pirate, purely coz we don't have a pirate archetype for rogue, just imagine if this minion was printed for warrior 😓

    Small ping damage with new mechanic keyword will definitely see play. Probably one of the better dredge cards

    Quite a lot of health for a 3 mana murloc which is what you'd want seeing as this guy adds a Piranha Swarmer to hand each turn. Is that good though? Probably not as the Piranhas are certainly not as good as lackeys. Might see play in a murloc shaman deck, if it turns out to be playable.

    Wow that's a lot of stats just for having a weapon equipped. Might see play in control warrior? Tough to say, will have to wait and see what weapon options are available in the core set and we might get another one in this expansion.

    It's decent stats and could see play in certain archetypes like Quest Warrior or an Aggro Beast Druid. Then again, why not just include the minion type you want? I see this guy as maybe a "budget" replacement option if you're missing a certain minion from your collection.

    Well this guy can tutor some scary naga like Raj Naz'jan and Priestess Valishj. So will definitely see play in some combo decks

    Yea nope, not including this card in standard. Arena is her place to shine

    Flavor text is neat though: With the jungles of Un’goro mapped out and the ruins of Uldum fully uncovered, explorers have to go a little out of their depth in their search of the great unknown.

    Definitely an arena card which is sad coz a card like this would've seen play in constructed a few years ago, guess times have changed, quite drastically at that.

    I don't think anyone will be including the actual Piranha Swarmer in their decks. More like generating them off Schooling and Piranha Poacher. It's a decent rush minion that synergizes with itself, so it's not terrible, just not that great either
