(MCN) What're you lookin' to play Day 1?

Having watched the theorycraft stream, there's a few decks I think has potential, and would like to try myself;

Relic token demon hunter - There's some potential in a token dhunter deck with the relic as support. Especially with …

New Neutral Minion - Sinstone Totem

Utterly useless even to totem shaman.

That 0 attack hiders this so badly its not even a joke. Without something like [card]totemic reflection[/card]s, what is this card aiming to accomplish even if its a 0/10?

The only good …

New Neutral Minion - Dredger Staff

Maybe good enough because aggro decks would play any vanilla 1 drop that boost survivability.

Not much else to say really. Its competing with [card]beaming sidekick[/card], but nevertheless possess a niche on its own.

New Neutral Minion - Roosting Gargoyle

The kind of card you design when youre running on a deadline.

There's no reason to ever expect this to see any play outside of arena. I dont understand why they didn't just make it a bigger [card]abusive sergeant[/card]. …

New Neutral Minion - Anonymous Informant

The card that needed to be printed for any form of secret decks to see play. Particularly to mage, because the loss of [card]kirin tor mage[/card] practically doomed any secret related deck from existing. Even the mighty explosive runes is …

New Neutral Minion - Creepy Painting

The description reads 'a copy' which implies that it wont be a 0/6 minion when it transforms.

In other words, its 3 mana faceless as long as you can kill the target. Imagine getting a colossal minion out of …

New Neutral Minion - Dinner Performer

Its basically [card]skydiving instructor[/card] most of the time, with the potential to be better but in reality would never reach that high bar.

Most good minions tend to be battlecry minions, and this invalidates it. Plus, its 3 mana. …

New Neutral Minion - Murlocula

Probably one of the best cards in the set.

So many applications for one card. Its a slightly nerfed [card]corridor creeper[/card], and that says alot because if CC was still unnerfed it'll see play in wild.

And with …

New Neutral Minion - Scuttlebutt Ghoul

More support for secret decks.

The minion itself is fine. Two 2/5s on 4 is fairly difficult to completely clear away, but its low attack might hinder it somewhat because anything remotely useful would easily value trade this.

New Neutral Minion - Stoneborn Accuser

Probably shit.

The conditions make it very inconsistent, and no aggro deck will ever keep it in mulligan. The only reason why'd you run it would be in token decks and you can still afford to play brann somewhere. …

New Neutral Minion - Muck Plumber

Occasionally some numb idiot would play this card and screw you over. Otherwise I dont expect to see this at all.

On the flip side, it does somewhat counter aggro decks. That is to say, if you actually play …

New Neutral Minion - Masked Reveler

6 mana 6/6 worth of stats. Primarily for deathrattle decks and nothing else.

It asks you to play equally slow or useless cards to accommodate to it. A hard pass for me.

New Neutral Minion - Stoneborn General

A deathrattle card that's so slow a turtle on amazon would complete its delivery before this card even sees play nevermind do anything useful.

Practically designed for druid, because no other decks can ever expect to play a 10 …

New Neutral Minion - Crooked Cook

A card for aggro. Practically makes every damage dealing spell a draw option with this down.

But its definitely something only aggro decks would use. Most other decks would probably be better off running actual draw options since this …

New Neutral Minion - Invitation Courier

This card is just hilarious. Basically its a duels treasure when it works or in thief rogue

Unfortunately for it, doubling cards in hand is not something rogue needs, and I cant see any practical use for it in …

New Neutral Minion - Steamcleaner

Its like [card]platebreaker[/card] and [card]ashen elemental[/card]. The card is simply healthy for the game.

Basically this completely destroys prestor druid. Makes me wonder if team5 actually printed this just so they dont have to nerf that deck. Cancerous as …

New Warrior Minion - Crazed Wretch

This is just [card]kor'kron elite[/card] with conditions. But as we have learned, anything with charge in this game can easily be broken. Especially since warrior is more than capable of buffing minions and [card]mr. smite[/card] now costing 7 making it …

New Warrior Minion - Anima Extractor

Its relatively impossible to stop this from buffing two things in hand if played on curve. In fact if there is a board you'll likely end up making an giant out of one card simply by playing this down.

New Warrior Weapon - Imbued Axe

Potentially good enough to see play, might even have a high play win rate.

Equip this, and your opponent will likely try to finish off every minion on board or else they get bigger, perhaps even go for lethal. …

New Warrior Spell - Conqueror's Banner

It has two things against it;

- you can whiff hard on this and spend two mana to do jack shit.

- and we all know how the animations will work. This will take a full 10 seconds …
