Well this could fit into token beast druid but doubt that archetype will be doing a lot of dredging. I don't see this fish getting larger than 5/7 but it is somewhat an anti-fatigue minion.
Pretty flavorful colossal, but then again, so are all the others. It's obviously a must-kill Colossal or it keeps scaling. The 3 taunts are also good at stalling, or a last ditch effort at staying alive. Some classes might battle to remove Glugg, so I remain optimistic that he'll see play
Considering DH attacks "all the time" this is a solid minion and very fair as a 4 mana 4/3 which makes it easy to remove. If the stats were any higher, this minion with be OP. Most times you'll only get 1 trigger off this shark, but that might be enough of a board clear, especially for token decks.
Oh very nice mech mage support that will 100% see play coz Trench Surveyor has decent stats, low cost with basically the discover mechanic from your deck. Mech mage will most likely have a few mechs, so most times you'll draw the mech you want.
Well now, this is an interesting tech card that may see some play in certain metas. Obviously the Snowfall Guardian counter has been discussed but it will also be good against the new Colossal minions and even something as simple as taunt minions.
Oh dear...the other kind of mana cheating has been added to this expansion... that alone will make this minion a scary threat and with Zola the Gorgon being added to the core set, there could be a crazy OTK combo that will be found
These damn cards are so difficult to evaluate without the new core set 😓 really want to know why the core set reveal was set for after the new card reveals.
Regardless, I highly doubt this will be any good unless we get more draw. And on a side note, having hand buffs for Warlock feels super weird, like this should be a Paladin spell for mechs instead
Guess going full Zilliax would've made Ini Stormcoil OP? This is still good anyway in any mech focused deck but getting a copy of Mecha-Shark will probably be the best outcome
Lol Zeddy thought the effect stacked each time you play a naga. Unfortunately I think it'll only be 2 3/3 fish but hunter is getting a lot of spell support like Raj Naz'jan and Twinbow Terrorcoil so this spell might see play in a midrange deck
This naga is actually pretty good. Basically a 6/5 for 5 mana with an upside you choose depending on board situation. Very great flavor too for teaching the nagaling the spell. Not sure which class will have the best naga/spell heavy synergies (maybe hunter?) but also remember some classes will have small spell selections to choose from (remember how Deck of Lunacy rekt Forged in the Barrens meta) so School teacher will probably only see play when it's released then be forgotten
This draw spell just screams big Demon or combo DH even though I have no idea what both archetypes will look like after rotation. This card will slot into decks that want to draw specific cards like the above mentions (Vanndar Stormpike and Lady S'theno). But ofc there will be more and more specific minions you'll want to draw as new expansions are released, so if Abyssal Depths is bad this expansion, it might be good in the next one.
Well that Big Holy Spell Paladin deck is looking pretty sweet right now. Even Big Spell Mage would use this minion. Well... basically any spell heavy deck would right?
Also: Imagine the effect of Naga Giant included the spells cast by Rune of the Archmage. Doubt it would right, that'd be broken
This is probably the best diver among the 3 of them due to the poisonous and don't forget the murloc tag can be useful at some point. Being dormant might also causes players to misplay. Imagine you opponent plays a Snowfall Guardian into your dormant Slimescale Diver

I remain optimistic, considering it's 1 mana

Guaranteed pro Esport plays with this minion
I would assume there's other cards that generate curses as well, or this card is garbage and won't see play

Guess mechs are back on the menu boys and gals!
(Note: judgement of card may vary depending on core set mechs)

Least now we know why the original HS announcement was delayed...🤣due to a lack of eyesight
So kinda like Servant of Yogg-Saron but it casts 3 spells for 2 more mana.
Terrible comparison I know, but it's the best we got
This word search was particularly adorable
Flipper Friends should win this expansion's most adorable award. Just look at those cute buggers

It's Molten Giant, but blue
Another pirate to now see off The Juggernaut... great... other than that, I doubt Quest Warrior would add this pirate to their deck, it's too slow
