At first I was thinking what would warlock do after [card]veiled worshipper[/card] rotates and they lose that massive card draw engine, and here comes that one card that handlock needs.

Basically you're drawing 3 cards for 3 mana. How much more insane can it be?

Probably not going to see play. Not because the card is bad, but because warlock doesn't need cards like this. [card]Tickatus[/card] already ensures that you're always going to win the value game outside of rogue, and [card]cascading disaster[/card] is 4 removal cards that destroys just about anything. So where does this card enters in as a win condition?

Also, …

Its [card]bonemare[/card], with a lower cost. That's should suffice as a review.

Its an okay card, decently doing what it needs to. But it may not be good enough. 1 damage doesn't really kill much, and it costs 2 mana so that's perhaps a little too steep.

The overload factor is a good bonus, but then again it cripples your next turn to do so. It'll see play, but not happily.

Unless tempo secret rogue comes into play, this card will almost never see play. The problem here is that you're playing a good 3/3 for 1 mana on 3, which is good tempo, but because outside of [card]bamboozle[/card], rogue secrets dont tend to protect their minions, its basically redundant to get this out along with a simple 3/3.

But …

Its just pure evil. Period

There are cards currently in play that actually does nothing but draw a card, like [card]insight[/card] and [card]far sight[/card]. This card bricks those cards in hand, and makes warlock's hp redundant.

Its not really about the effect. Its about your opponent making needless mistakes even when its not this card. And honestly, 2 …

[card]Tinker's sharpsword oil[/card] was one of the most powerful cards in rogue. And this card is basically that, but slightly smaller.

Its just straight up broken. Corrupting this is just too easy, and even with the regular dagger and a stealth minion, this card is already doing 6 extra damage. All for 1 mana. Even if its basically just …

I really love the design of this card. Been wanting to play ysharaaj priest for some time, but kept getting curb stomped so I lost hope.

This card rekindles that hope, from a hopeless candle, to a slightly less hopeless candle. Its good, but I'm afraid that priest draw being shit and the fact that yshaaraj priest is still …

In warlock, there's better cards, but in priest, this is just want they needed, a mid game mass removal card that isn't just doing 2 damage.

I like this card, alot. Just a shame that for some reason we're giving up even more removal to warlock. As if that class needs more removal cards after receiving that insane card …

Okay, so this card is not exactly trash, but its not going to be a world beater neither. The effect is strong, even close to completely broken. but there's simply no card currently that heals your entirely board for nothing, so its best application is unfortunately relying on the fact that it has 6 health, and played on 4 that's …

The thing about this card is that it allows you to choose to divine shield your minions or not, since its a spellburst effect (does nothing on awakening). Unfortunately, given that its a spellburst effect, you need something cheap to trigger it or its just not going to do anything. So on curve, we're looking at a few 1 mana …

Its basically a card for big decks. Outside of that its not anywhere near good enough. 2 damage barely kills anything, and 4 health isn't big enough to dodge most removal cards.

So good for big decks, dead for others.

This will break the meta with pure pally or in fact any pally that can curve 1-2-3 into this on 4.

So this will ideally bring back a 1/3, either murglgle or [card]shotbot[/card], and [card]goody two-shields[/card]. On turn 4. And if your opponent has not already exhausted their removals then nothing will get past that three on 4.

Its [card]grave vengeance[/card], its 15 damage over 3 turns. If your opponent is not holding an ooze or stickyfinger, you're straight up going to win. And this card can get cheaper. The only other broken card I can think of is the new card [card]rally![/card]. So yeah, this is way past being good.

Its not really that bad, given that [card]ray of frost[/card] still exist. But I've always thought that killing the minion the same turn you freeze it is often a bad idea, and cards that do that never gets on.

But then again, this is still a 1/3 most of the time, and on turn 1 that can easily decide …

Its too conditional to be good. Your opponent will easily prepare for it, so this card must either win you the game outright or it does nothing. Not to mention that you're going to have to plan 2 turn ahead, so there's that problem too.

 

Depending on the meta, this will either be the most powerful card to exist for mage, or straight up the most useless. Being able to trade mana in an earlier turn for one later is incredibly powerful for a class that combos alot, and mage is always hungering for more mana.

The pool is small, so if there's something you want out of the list of dual-class spells, you're likely going to get it. 90% of the time you're going to choose a removal spell, and that last 10% would be [card]raise dead[/card], and hope not to kill yourself with it.

But I'm hesitant to call this a must have. …

Decent card. [card]Professor slate[/card]'s new best friend. Outside of that, this can help somewhat with aggro matches, but any aggro player worth their salt would easily play around it, but then again, its aggro so there's always a chance they don't, or just don't care.

I've slagged off [card]whirlkick master[/card] in the past, as well as [card]sethekk veilweaver[/card] and got egg on my face today. I've learnt my lesson this time round, and will now say that this card is only 'borderline' to being trash.

Hunter will nearly never get tons of value out of this in one turn. The fact that there isn't …
