    Really fun card.

    Really hard to make it more than just that though since you can't really plan around what you'll get. People are of course still going to try to play it for the fun factor.

    It's not going to be great since it will just be a vanilla 3 mana 3/4 in almost all situations.

    That said, it's still a hell of a lot better than Harbinger Celestia, and the flavor is great too.

    As others have pointed out, there's definitely some things you can do with it but it's very clunky since it relies on you having a large board of minions whilst also not running too many minions so you can draw specifically the one you want... and then you have to not draw that minion before playing Colifero.

    Could be a pretty good card to tutor large minions.

    And then of course, there's the funny mustaches. That's just one more reason to play the card.

    Dragon decks doesn't really have a lot of one-sided AoEs, so this is pretty good.

    In Wild, Dragon Priest can probably get by with just Dragonfire Potion and Breath of the Infinite, but you'll probably try to use this in that format too. And in Standard, you definitely play this.

    The card by itself is not super incredible, but it's two bandages to be used with the new Raza + Hedanis combo so it'll probably see at least a little bit of play.

    This is an absolutely insane card. It's a bit harder to use in Standard, but there's still combos with Hedanis and Reno, Lone Ranger to abuse with Papercraft Angel.

    Really good.

    Cheap card that's easy to Combo and the Combo is pretty strong. It even has synergy with The Crystal Cove since the copy will also be a 4/4.

    This card is batshit insane. It's amazing in Dragon Priest, but any combo Priest can use if they just happen to also run Dragons. You might even make a Dragon package for Combo decks just to activate this.

    There's absolutely no universe where this doesn't break something. It's a 5/5 card. Even if somehow doesn't break something now, it certainly will later.

    An okay Neutral card.

    Decks that are completely desperate for draw might run it in Standard, but in Wild, every class basically has better options at this point.

    Being played on its own, it's not so incredible.

    But it's really good for cheaty decks. Sure you're not getting the Mini, but you're still getting a 6/7 and a potentially repeatable source of 6/7s that attack random enemies. It'll even be a really good pull from Inventor Boom. It's just unfortunately a bit steep if you find yourself needing to pay full price for it.

    Good callback to the original Volcano. The damage-to-cost ratio is really good and it even heals you too. This'll be quite good.

    Definitely a very good card. This set even has some really great Mechs that work with it, so I can definitely see it being a Standard deck. I appreciate that your low-Cost mechs don't mess with the res pool so you can just casually run a Mech deck that has some large guys in it and let this do the work in the late game.

    Would Pit Lord see play if it was 3 mana? It would probably be okay, but it wouldn't make meta splashes and this card is basically exactly the same as that.

    The only reason I rate it 2 stars instead of 1 is because it has really stats for 3 mana, so in theory it aggro out your opponent pretty quickly if they don't have an immediate answer for it. Otherwise, it's not so great.

    This lives and dies on Pirate Rogue's viability.

    If Pirate Rogue is a viable deck, then this will be very a strong card that sees play in every decklist of the archetype. If Pirate Rogue isn't a viable deck, then it won't see play at all. It's really that simple.

    Although it makes Crafter's Aura a lot stronger, it's a bit awkward to play since it in turn forces you to play a lot of other Auras, though I guess the extra turn can make up for that.

    I don't think it's *that* strong yet, but with the right Auras, it can serve to be quite a nuisance.

    It can become really powerful, but Standard unfortunately doesn't have enough Frost spells for Death Knight for it to be really strong.

    Still though, the potential to claw away at big boards or big minions is nothing to scoff at, so it might become really good once we get more Frost spells in Standard for DK.

    Really great for the Big Beast deck since there's so many things to combo it with and it can be a great source of face damage.

    Will that be a thing in Standard? I'm doubtful, but there's always Wild or Twist once the "nostalgia" format ends, and there's also always the next 2 sets of the year. Even if it doesn't end up being good this time around, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on later in the year.

    It's not good if you don't Outcast it and it's not really that great if you do Outcast it since at Outcast it's basically comparable to Twisted Knowledge.

    Gonna say no on this one.

    It is a bit more awkward to use than it appears on first glance since the targets are random and therefore picking burst damage is a bit of a gamble if you have a board. There's some things it can combo with, but I think it's a bit too unreliable for me.
