Expansions out in 2 weeks. Might as well wait it out so your packs are more valuable.

Another day another new bug reveals itself. Its only a visual bug this time, the end of month rewards are still here, though we've been robbed of the slight pleasure of opening those packages ourselves.

Its also a little …

Because dhunter can't actually maintain tempo, having been nerfed so many times and its best cards rotated away from the core set. There's no tempo dhunter in standard, and the only nearest equivalent would be deathrattle dhunter, which doesn't need …

Im aware of that. Two cards related to the abyssal curse just isn't enough to make an archetype is my point.

Its kinda like [card]abyssal wave[/card], in that both cards' viability is largely determined by the performance of the abyssal curses. The problem is that we dont know how the curses work, or the number of cards that apply these curses, …

Can you cancel the free trial after taking the rewards? to stretch the 7 days long enough to cover until September? I wouldn't think that's possible, but if it is that's basically giving everything away for free.

Subscription to …

There must be at least one other card that puts more than 1 curse into your opponent's hand for this card to even be remotely worth it.

The problem with this style of play is interaction. [card]Curse of agony[/card] …

3/2 draw a card. Yes this will see play.

Assuming of course that we even see mech mage at all. Something tells me we'll be seeing a lot of nagas, wildfires, and spell mage before mech mage even gets …

Decent 1 drop with a tiny upside that can be buffed by both sides of [card]azsharan gardens[/card]. Something [card]druid of the reef[/card] cannot do.

Just don't bet your house that this card would snowball out of control. The amount …

There's [card]aquatic form[/card], [card]tuskarrrr trawler[/card], and [card]excavation specialist[/card]. Both tuskarrrr trawler and excavation specialist are pretty standard vanilla cards, and unlike aquatic form you can't play the card immediately unless you have a draw option.

Trawler maybe still within …

Its not a bad card, but there's only two [card]aquatic form[/card]s and dredge isn't exactly printed on many cards to take advantage of the snowballing stats of this card. If I have to dredge something, I'd much rather get [card]sunken …

Its clearly the last one if we speculate on the small pic shown. Unsurprising, since team5 likes to leave a few good ones for the final reveal video.

Just a good 2 drop for a class that really requires it if the idea if to make mech mage work.

Is also an efficient card to get [card]sunken sweeper[/card] up, but I doubt any tempo deck would purposefully …

This is a card that'll break the meta for mage, not mech mage despite all the support it got.

Basically there are two functions for this card. The first would be obviously as a tempo setup. Play [card]school teacher[/card] …

The naga requirement is probably the only thing stopping this card from completely taking over. There's just a limited pool of nagas around to fully take advantage of the 2 extra mana, and while you're playing nagas you're probably not …

If theres a massive draw engine, this card will take over the entire meta.

But as it stands, its just a middling card that'll see play for the memes. Murlocs being so frail themselves doesn't help much too. But …

Looks like they really, really want murlock to be a thing. I can only imagine the enthusiasm during design meetings.

The only thing that can make this card work is a card draw engine, since [card]backfire[/card] and [card]hand of …

High marks from me simply because its going to see play, and it'll probably be an important part of the deck.

For the moment, its seemingly a paladin card because there's not many mechs that can take full advantage …

In theory this card is insane. But in practice it'll require a sticky mech or a turn 4 stealth mech like [card]coppertail imposter[/card] to really reach its full potential.

A must have for mech builds, not because it'll often …

They're playing it right now in questlock. Bloodshard bristleback and barrens scavenger are powerful enough payoffs that I think its worth considering even after rotation.
