    So this will give full health minions +2 health, due to the wording and "restore health" absent. You could time this with dormant minions like Imprisoned Homunculus to get some really sticky minions. I doubt you could combo coz your opponent would be damaging your minions each turn, it is nice tempo though, especially if used on a lot of small minions.

    This card makes me very excited for big spell mage. Similar in effect to Juicy Psychmelon but this is just better value. Also like the Spice Bread Baker synergies that were mentioned above. I've detested Quest mage and haven't played the class in a long time. This spell makes me super excited to play mage again

    Pretty great turn 1 play for big spell mage. But any mage can use this minion really... well, except quest/no minion mage.

    This kinda reminds me of all the crazy duels treasures. This card will certainly create a crazy OTK warrior with Mr. Smite and Captain Galvangar

    Well it's a 6 mana taunt demon, which makes me think control. And only really nice control fel spells are Demonic Assault and The Dark Portal which isn't bad. We'd have to wait till blizzard print a higher cost fel spell for this to get better value.

    This card cannot be underestimated as down the line, Blizzard will print a crazy fel spell and we'll get some kind of fel OTK warlock... well I can only dream...

    Great 1 drop + value though, so will definitely see play.

    This spell doesn't fit into any existing archetypes so it all depends on if the fel synergies work out for warlock this expansion. Maybe zoolock could use this with Grave Defiler and eventually get a board full of 3/3s

    So you want to play this in a zoo/egg deck where you want to kill a 1/1 and get a 4/4. Kinda reminiscent of Disciplinarian Gandling but you can still setup your board before end of turn to sacrifice a weak minion. I wouldn't play this on turn 3 though, you'd loose too much tempo, unless you had an egg on turn 2

    Good removal tool for freeze shaman and additional stall if you get the honorable kill. We know from Darkbomb that 2 mana deal 3 is ok by itself, so the honorable kill effect is just frozen icing on the cake 😁

    Wow, this card is really great stall for freeze shaman, and if the archetype takes off, this will be your savior against aggro and a wide board. The fact that it freezes your own minions won't be a problem, just make sure you attack with your minions first before playing this guy😉

    This is a pretty good elemental, even in the current elemental shaman we have going. This minion is also way better than Wandmaker, not coz of the +1 attack, but the guaranteed spell added to your hand is much better than a random one.

    It's a promising objective and so much better than the Frostwolf Kennels. My only concern is you have to be ahead on board by turn 4, coz you'll be loosing some tempo, but if you way behind by turn 4, you want to play something like a board clear or reactive instead of this.

    Probably the worst frost spell for freeze shaman. This is only good if you discover a taunt minion. Other than that, it's a waste of 6 mana.

    Seems... playable. At least the burgle rogue enthusiasts will experiment with it and Cera'thine Fleetrunner. Most times it'll be inconsistent though as you'd be replaying random cards that might be below average. Maybe could be paired in a deathrattle rogue deck with Reconnaissance

    Pretty great stats for 3 mana. You could do some hand buff shenanigans to get a bigger minion for the memes and this card alone incentivizes burgle rogue.  It could be a small package in a tempo rogue list but you'd want the effect to be consistent. Kinda anti-synergy with Cera'thine Fleetrunner though

    Has to be the best flavor text this expansion

    It's not a bad board clear, if you want to try the new fel warlock archetype that's the focus for this expansion. It's flexible enough to be 15 damage for 9 mana or you can find some mana cheat to make it a lot more. It's not going to be busted, but it's a nice random board clear that affects the opponent's side only

    This is the card that shaman needed to get freeze shaman off the ground. Freeze shaman might even consider running Wandmaker just for the chance at getting another Windchill

    You'd have to play Cavalry Horn before Lightforged Cariel or it's a dead card in hand, coz no sane person would destroy The Immovable Object. The stats for the mana cost are also a bit lackluster, so if big paladin does rise from the ashes, this weapon might not even make the cut

    Pretty good card if you're behind on board against aggro, only thing is you need to heal and there's only 13 cards in standard that do that atm: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/?hsclass=12&hsclass=5&text=restore&collectible=yes&standard=yes 

    Maybe Vitality Surge and Snack Run?
