Very nice anti aggro tool, filling a slot only really filled by bloodmage thalnos currently in setting up wipes with cheap AoE. I like it, but I like it less than thalnos.

Very expensive card. Mech hunter can't afford to run silly value cards. Best case that I can think of is theis plus zilliax for two 6/5 taunt lifesteal divine shield minions, which is not amazing for 9 mana.

More battlecry boardwipes in this expansion than any other as far as I remember. This card is a little pricy, but can probably do good work against pirates. You will have a few matchups where this is your best card, …

Teron + ??? + Play Dead + Feign Death = win the game, probably.

In terms of more regular use, this can probably go into a midrange deck as a way of effectively delaying board wipes if the opponent …

A neutral sap, if you need one, here it is. Can be a super-[card]Conceal[/card] if you want to do something stupid with your deck, but I would err on the proper use being about the same as sap but for …

...? In terms of actually using this card, I can only think of deliberately triggering the deathrattle to do something that amounts to making nithogg eggs where the summons don't have rush. Very poor card.

I can only see this being used effectively against aggro decks, definitely not in them. As shown by quests, giving up turn 1 hurts you less than any other turn, but this gives value much sooner than a quest. I …

Better than [card]Bash[/card]. Probably finds a place as a tool against aggro, but compared to shield bash, this feels very poor against midrange decks. Still sets up executes or plague of wrath, or maybe even [card]Crush[/card] if the enrage package …

A nice card in theory. Very good if you can enable it on turn 3. If midrange warrior decks are good, this will probably work well in them.

Pirate warrior doesn't really want this. Arcanite reaper serves better as five mana ten damage than seven mana eighteen damage, just because wasting tempo in your crucial early turns is not something aggro can do. Maybe sees play in a …

A better Apfelbaum for warriors. Probably sees some play, especially with the potential with buffs.

A strong play if it can cost 4 or less. If cards like risky skipper can enable a new enrage warrior, this could be a good card to run.

Bouncing Blade + Defile. I would treat this more like a deadly shot than anything else. Probably not great but not unplayable either.

Could be anywhere from gain 4 armor to a [card]Time Out![/card]. Very matchup dependant. Might see play if malygos based combos become powerful. As a side note, use it in fatigue warrior + 2 coldlights to take no damage while …

In very early turns of the game, warlocks would currently use mortal coils and kobold librarians to contest the board. Is this better? I'm leaning on no, just because it is so poor against decks that do not demand very …

A bad front half for a decent prime. Maybe useful with an old style dead man's hand warrior. Fairly likely to see some play in slower warrior decks, but the weakness of the front card might just make this one …

Does warlock need a [card]Militia Commander[/card]? I would say probably not. If you need to discard your priciest card, Expired Merchant is more efficient, but maybe if it is the core of your deck, this card can be a backup …

Did warlocks really need handbuff? It makes theoretical sense for the hand size class to get hand buff, but this card takes the slowness intrinsic in handbuff and ramps it to maximum. Not seeing this doing well in a world …

Discounting combo pieces is something warlock typically does semi often - mecha'thun and any of the many thaurissan combos come to mind - but this seems unreliable in a class where your combo pieces are often weird and discounts need …

[card]Voidlord[/card] is superior to this card if you want a cheated demon to slow the game down. This does not dilute your bloodreaver guldan pool with voidwalkers though, so maybe this sees some play as a third voidlord? Unlikely, but …
