    Tip the Scales paladin? I mean.. you can still play it no highroll potential but we got some good murloc cards this expansion

    It's mostly good cause librams are cheap enough to be played on the same turn.. you can play this and then heal for 8 with a 8/8 taunt for 10 mana so this is good compared to other cards like Countess Ashmore

    You don't have to run 30 spells to play this card! you can play this in tempo mage or highlander and have much cheaper spells.

    4 drops have generally really bad statlines..  I guess in no minion mage you play every minion generator you can get though..

    1 mana discovers don't see play normally but it's a pick to be generated for the next 2 years which is ok, the no minions mage will be an archtype we will revisit every expansion so this is an enabler which is nice.

    I don't have much respect for most dormant cards I think only mage, demon hunter and druid have a chance being played.. this is quite potent.

    the 2 aoe is quite strong even if delayed.. it's cheap enough.

    IDK power of creations makes 2 6 drops for the same price.. that being said water elemental is probably really good to have 2 of even if it's a 4 drop plus it freezes the turn you play it plus it's in the mage pool anyway..

    Great in highlander, auto include in spell mage, tempo probably not.

    Don't think it's enough for secret mage in standard.. and it's not good enough for wild (secret mage don't need it).

    VERY strong card in ANY mage deck.. basically better The Soularium

    Seems like it can cast box of yogg (Saw a video of it casting) kind of disappointed it's not that safe of a card.

    seems low impact kind of.. We didn't see this effect work on a battlecry but that minion wasn't a beast and it's 2 mana and not one.. so this might be good.. besides hunter just lost it's best 1 drop

    Seems so slow for hunter... but on the bright side it's a minion to Houndmaster on 4! and without Mountain Giant this probably survives any trade.

    Edit: I am dumb, I thought it was a beast.. well it's MUCH worse then..

    I assumed it's a beast based on appearance and it being a hunter card.. but nope it's a demon..

    2 mana draw a card is MEH, but you give it +3/+3 and it's suddenly great we saw many cards that have synergy with higher stats this expansion.. also it curves into them.. so.. this card is great.

    I don't see the OTK but it works on the tempo side of things

    Seems like one of the better secrets Phase Stalker getting this and removed by trading is super annoying.

    Hunter got a bunch of deathrattles this expansion.. 2 of them at the 3 mana slot so I can see this card being good, also it has rush and we still got quest and the side quest for rush minions.

    I really don't like it.. it's not [Hearthstone Card (flanking shot) Not Found].. it has the same stats but the +3/+3 is much slower..

    Kael'thas Sunstrider + Rapid Fire + Nagrand Slam.

    turn 8 or 6 with the coin to get the board really hard, all cards are kind of good stand alone so this might work.

    but you kind of need 2 Nagrand Slam to justify running kael'thas.

    I can't really see a hunter OTK being too consistent..hunter don't have enough draw, this is a weaker version of Kathrena Winterwisp

    We used to pay 7 mana for this.. so without a doubt very strong minion specially if you want to set up a combo.. but I could see it as a ramp druid though since it's cheap so you could run it.

    Do they intend to continue supporting murloc DH though? I doubt they will print more since this one seems a stretch artwise

    Actually Lil'idan is a real character in WoW. It's really not surprising. I doubt DH will get more murloc support, but the art is not a stretch, it comes directly from WoW. 

    Ok, but it seems just a one off rather than a bunch of murlocs that have DH traits, so probably this is the only one :(
