New Hunter Minion - Krolusk Barkstripper

Probably justifiable as a pick for a midrange hunter deck. Pretty powerful, but deadly shot effects are always poor against aggro.

New Hunter Minion - Bloated Python

Not great, but not terrible.

This is +1 mana on nerubian egg for +1 attack, which lets you trade it more easily, but deathrattle hunter decks would much rather have the egg in play a turn earlier.

New Hunter Minion - Wolpertinger

Technically slightly better alleycat. Alleycat doesn't see play much right now, so I can't imagine that this will, unless handbuffs become suddenly viable in hunter.

New Demon Hunter Spell - Double Jump

This card definitely has potential if used to specifically tutor one or two outcast cards in an aggressive deck. Interesting, and looking forward to experimenting with this in Odd DH.

New Demon Hunter Minion - Vilefiend Trainer

Again, aggressive even-costed demon hunter cards aren't really likely to see play in wild for a few expansions yet. The card is acceptable, but not amazing.

New Druid & Hunter Minion - Teacher's Pet

A decent sticky minion, but given that sludge belcher has already fallen out of favour, I can't imagine that this will fare a lot better.

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Minion - Blood Herald

A bit tricky to justify running a 5 drop with nothing but stats in any deck right now, especially when it has to sit in your hand for a while to be worth playing.

New Demon Hunter Spell - Fel Guardians

A nice effect, but if odd DH wanted this, they would already be running corridor creeper.

Interesting alongside demon hunter's suite of rush token generators, but probably not enough to create a more midrange-based strategy.

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Spell - Demon Companion

Strong, but unreliable. A nearly-always strong 1-drop is probably worse than a consistently great 1-drop like battlefiend or squire.

This is probably less good for aggressive hunter decks, where beast synergy is very important.

New Mage & Shaman Spell - Primordial Studies

The pool is less narrow than you might think.

There are a lot of very bad neutral spell damage minions, enough that I don't expect this to see a lot of play.

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Weapon - Trueaim Crescent

The effect is acceptable, but not really useful for odd DH builds. The addition of a 1/4 weapon could be useful to round out turns where hero power + playing a card is too expensive, but experimentation with other weapons …

New Druid & Hunter Spell - Guardian Animals

Very strong if you can build around it, but I'm not sure how possible that is.

There are not a great many 5 mana beasts that this will be a great target for, especially when you cannot run other …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Ancient Void Hound

Watch out if big demon demon hunter becomes good, but otherwise demon hunters have no need for 9-mana cards. (Other than Baku)

New Paladin & Warrior Minion - Lord Barov

Could this be a sign that equality might get unnerfed? It seems odd that equality + a 3/2 with a synergistic deathrattle costs less than equality.

This card is pretty nice for odd warrior and DMH warrior, and probably …

New Druid Minion - Forest Warden Omu

Not actually sure how much better this is than kun, given that aviana is usually a component of druid combos. Maybe this gives those decks a hit of consistency that they were needing. This is obviously good somewhere, but I …

New Paladin & Priest Minion - High Abbess Alura

An interesting card. Not very useful in any deck that runs board wipes, so potential in res priest is probably limited.

Has potential, but requires both cheap enablers and large payoffs to be really strong, so this is unlikely …

New Mage & Rogue Spell - Brain Freeze

1 mana deal 3 to a minion has been shown to be more than acceptable in most cases, and the need to combo this is a fine tradeoff for the freeze.

A good card, but not enough to launch …

New Paladin Minion - Argent Braggart

A pretty acceptable tempo card, can be very nice in mech paladin if you are able to afford to dilute your crystology draws, which you might not be.

I doubt this sees play in any slower decks, where the …

New Neutral Minion - Educated Elekk

In most cases this isn't great.

Unless you can shuffle very strong spells or special token spells in, adding cards to your deck is not an effect that many decks can afford to run in a meta where fatigue …

New Mage & Rogue Spell - Potion of Illusion

Fairly optimistic about this card. A lot better than echo of medivh, and it being in rogue probably enables something of note.

Likely to go into a whole slew of combo decks in both classes, but probably a little …
