  • Well, this card makes Frozen Buckler much better now. You'd ideally want to play this board clear when you're behind or have no minions on board, which as control warrior, seems likely to happen. Not sure why you wouldn't pick Brawl instead though, unless you only have 2 mana to play the Frozen Buckler then this.

  • At first I was like: "Holy shit! This card is busted against aggro! 5 Stars!"

    Think I was a bit too optimistic there, but the card is still great and there's still self damage synergies we can use. I see this card more in control warrior though, where you might not have a lot of small minions, but a few big ones, so the 1 damage to your minions shouldn't be too much of a downside. It's still good though, a Whirlwind each turn for 3 turns is nothing to scoff at.

  • Probably one of the worse Honorable Kill effects, seeing as it's a recycled one. Warrior has enough weapon tutor in standard right now, this is also 4 mana and we not sure if the mechanic will be easily achieved or not.

  • Nice card draw with Scrapsmith but Glory Chaser itself technically has taunt . If the stats were reversed and it was a 3/4, then it would be great, but at 3 health, there's many ways this can be kills with spells, bypassing all the taunts you just played. It's still a card draw engine, which will be good if control/frost/armor warrior takes off.

    So basically you need weapon destruction or The Immovable Object gets out of hand...well defensively. Cariel's HP is not bad either, but the weapon is what makes the hero card insane. Also bare in mind, Suckerhook could transform your 6 mana weapon into The Immovable Object as Shaman, so nice buff to that card

    Do shaman even have a 6 mana weapon or are we talking about a situation where suckerhook evolves multiple times without you using all the charges on a weapon?  I think Cariel is an excellent card, and the weapon is great defensively though

    Oh no, I was incorrect about the Suckerhook interaction, seeing as The Immovable Object is not a collectable card by itself. Thought evolve effects would evolve into anything, but past experiences say no.

  • Wonder what happens when there's a zero attack minion in hand like the eggs or Doomsayer for example. Would they instantly die from in hand? Or only when they hit the board? Will have to test it out. Aside from the question, this card won't see play, unless there's a super ultra mega meme deck that makes trolden.

  • Could be good in freeze shaman and control warrior, seeing as they got some frost spells too. You won't be playing this minion on turn 4 though, at best it's a turn 5 6/6. It's not bad, but there's more crazy things these days.

  • Thought it was very good, but now I look at it and it's average. Unless you're against a token druid or DH, the 1 damage won't do much. He might see play if aggro is rampant in the meta, so in essence, a tech card.

  • Pretty nice heal, especially if you want to make big paladin work. You'd ideally want to draw a 5+ cost minion from this spell to make it worth it but you'd also want to run legendary minions like Saidan the Scarlet so it's a tough call on if you want to cut small minions just for more heal.

  • This is good coz of the rush. Burgle rogue might make a comeback, but you'd need your whole deck dedicated to burgle synergies if you want this gnoll to be zero mana. Not sure if this is all the burgle cards in standard atm, but there's only 9 here: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/rogue?text=class&collectible=yes&standard=yes (Guess we can include Plagiarize, The Lobotomizer and Parrrley to the list too)

    We'll probably need a new core set and more support till burgle rogue is seen again.

  • 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😉
