Pretty interesting deathrattle legendary that will see some experimentation. It's quite the funny that this card will be good if the honorable kill mechanic is bad and vice versa. It's not that threatening though being a 3/5, so probably won't be too annoying
This + Saidan the Scarlet will be bonkers and probably a reno heal if you went greedy on all the hand buffs. Considering all the big minions paladin got this expansion, it's a good thing the lifesteal lasts 1 turn
So this minion basically pays for itself, if you draw the 3 cost spell, you're technically getting a zero cost 3/1 + specific spell tutor. You can also build your deck to have a certain number of spells, or maybe some crazy combo OTK deck will arise that we haven't thought about yet.
If this was cheaper at like 3 mana, then it'd be good in an aggro/token deck. At 5 mana, you'd rather play game ending cards like Arbor Up. It's also more of a warrior card as it wants to take damage. Don't really see the deck this will be used in, but I'm sure the wild pros will try make an OTK with this card.
Super awkward stats for the cost. If you wanted to play hand buff stuff, you'd play paladin or warrior and use their class cards which are much better. Sure there might be some weird combo that could work for other classes but this card is too clunky
So this is basically a dual class card for Shaman and Warrior funny enough. This card will only see play if freeze shaman and frost/control/armor warrior take off.
This is good when combined with Gift of the Naaru. You'd want a dedicated combo/miracle priest deck though but there's not much support for that atm. I'm sure this card will be good in wild, where there's more restore health type cards
Also, with Shadow Word: Nibble around, you can really punish your opponent for having a board.
PS: How do I make it so the site shows Shadow Word: Devour when I say Shadow Word: Nibble using the [card*] (minus the *) tag? You know, the same way I did with Topsy Turvy or Gnomeregan Infantry.
The wording definitely confuses people as some say it draws 1 card only, others say a card is drawn for each minion still damaged. I'd say it's a the former, coz it specifically says any still damaged, so 1 card draw only. Definitely fair and only to be used in control priest, seeing as it heals all characters, including your opponent's minions and face
Might*** be a tech card against aggro decks if they become rampant, but 6 mana might still be too slow. It'll definitely be great in arena or maybe decks looking for freeze synergies
I feel the honorable kill on this minion will be difficult to achieve, unless you're playing against a big demon DH. Most times you'll end up holding it in hand and it becomes a dead card. The effect is definitely crazy, but not many 8 health minions seeing play. Will have to wait till the expansion is released to know for certain.
Reading conflicting views on this card and I honestly don't think it's very good. It dies way to easily and only summons another copy after the spell is cast, so most times it'll die to removal and won't get out of control. Also most classes have board clears, so even the summoned copies will die. It's a nice flavor and goes along with other trogg minions we've seen in the past, but other than that, it's a gimmick
Well, we finally got all the frost spells we wanted for freeze shaman. Just wait till it becomes a Tier 1 deck, then everyone who returns to HS from a year long break will be like...errr wtf happened to HS?!
One of the "beast package" minions that will only see play if midrange beast druid is any good. Definitely likely to get this beast to zero mana in a dedicated deck but also might see play during evolve effects. You ideally want 4 beasts to have died already, so it costs 3 mana minimum. Any larger and you'd be better off playing something else.
Slow spell that is effectively a 3 mana 2/2 beast on the turn you play it. It'll probably be too slow against the current meta but we'll have to see if the meta slows down in general. Not sold on the midrange beast druid yet, but doubt this spell will be great.
We have to see if this midrange beast druid takes off next expansion. It's looking promising, and this beast will definitely be in the deck. This is one of those cards that are good in a package, but standalone, it's better in arena

Just might see play in big spell mage too

Maybe could work with Bless in a Miracle priest with Nazmani Bloodweaver? I'm sure someone will test it out
It's no Divine Spirit + Inner Fire combo but I'm sure it'll be tested out in a variety of decks. Maybe a miracle priest that utilises Nazmani Bloodweaver and Sethekk Veilweaver

Even though this expansion looks deathrattle centric, this minion won't see play due to the low health and random deathrattle.

This is an insane tutor that would probably replace Taelan Fordring for druid. I'd imagine it belongs in a CA/clown druid where you'd either want to draw Lightning Bloom or Survival of the Fittest
