Deathspeaker + Tiller + Hysteria Combo...

Coming across a lot of this deck in wild ranked right now, and it seems a little too strong.

The problem card is [card]Deathspeaker[/card], and I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of nerf soon.

I think …

New Hearthstone Currencies Coming to China - Arcane Orbs & Runestones

The 'Pity Timer' mechanic currently only exists because of mainland chinese gambling law.

Hopefully this change is indicative of a general reform away from the pack system? I doubt it, but the way EU legislation is leaning, I don't …

Blizzard Announces Darkmoon Duel-Fest - A $200,000 Prize Pool Duels Tournament on November 24

I wish the Atlantic ocean was a little thinner. As it stands I would be tuning in from 8pm to 2am to watch this.

New Priest Spell - Idol of Y'Shaarj

A bit too expensive. Shadow Visions works because if gets out minions with powerful effects early enough to contest aggro. This doesn't really do that. I'm sure it won't feel bad to play, it's just not what res priest needs …

New Priest Minion - Nazmani Bloodweaver

It's not great, but I think that this cements that priests will no longer have any problems finding mana for their combos any more. Something to note is that the discount hits anything in hand, so maybe this is not …

New Paladin Minion - Carnival Barker

[card]Hobgoblin[/card], except it works with summoned minions, most notably silver hand recruits. I think that this is fairly good, and has potential to see play in odd paladin. I would not think it has any shot at being used elsewhere.

New Shaman Minion - Inara Stormcrash

Can set up some good burst damage if you have a weapon equipped, but that's the struggle here. Not many shaman weapons are much good in the slower gameplan that this card setss up. Maybe the ability to have a …

New Shaman Weapon - Whack-A-Gnoll Hammer

[card]Fiery War Axe[/card] + a 2/2 after 2 turns. Not sure that this is really that great. Not bad, but not really at the level of playability.

New Druid Minion - Fizzy Elemental

The rush makes this interesting, but I doubt that it's enough to be better than grindier taunts like [card]Winged Guardian[/card].

I don't think that this sees play.

New Shaman Minion - Cagematch Custodian

Weapon shaman, I guess? Tutoring up weapons is not an awful effect, but unlike in rogue, there aren't really any game-defining weapons available to tutor. Maybe just fetching a [card]Stormforged Axe[/card] is okay? Not seeing this in any major decks, …

New Rogue Spell - Cloak of Shadows

Slightly worse [card]Time Out![/card], as it doesn't let you get in an undamaged attack, but it's interesting to see stall tools for rogue. I know that [card]Valeera the Hollow[/card]'s battlecry is usually important in slower rogue decks, where you couldn't …

New Priest Spell - Palm Reading

An interesting combo enabler, but also can help to set up a lethal turn for raza priest by discounting their hand. I wouldn't be surprised if this finds a slot in raza priest, and any combo deck that wants spells …

New Neutral Minion - Claw Machine

6 mana is a bit pricy for removal, but maybe if you need to tutor a minion as well as remove a threat, this is okay? I don't think that this will see much play, but it is interesting.

New Shaman Minion - Magicfin

Generating random legendaries is a very broad set, and most murloc decks won't want or be able to use the majority of the cards this generates. I doubt that this will see much play.

New Paladin Spell - Oh My Yogg!

Paladin [card]Counterspell[/card]. If by some magic secret paladin becomes popular, I think that this might see some play. The fact that it randomises the target even if it turns a removal spell into another removal spell might be enough to …

New Neutral Minion - Strongman

Has potential to see play in any druid decks that were running [card]Anubisath Defender[/card]. I doubt that any other classes have much use for this however.

New Warlock Minion - Tickatus

Void contract but with a strong body attached. Maybe enough that combo decks really will have a hard time from now on, but I doubt it. Interesting card, but only useful as tech against maybe mecha'thun, not much else. I …

New Hunter Spell - Jewel of N'Zoth

If you want to play a grindy hunter deathrattle deck, you now have two extra mini-n'zoths. The problem there is that slower hunter decks aren't lacking in surprisingly strong lategame value, they need more ability to get to the late …

New Warlock Spell - Cascading Disaster

Despite this being pretty good, the power of warlock board clears is such that I don't think this has any real chance of displacing any of them. It's looking like Y'shaarj is it for corrupt-matters effects, so I think that …

New Neutral Minion - Optimistic Ogre

Clearly not meant for constructed play. The video provided showed the minion triggering when it attacked the wrong enemy though. Shouldn't the trigger be the other way around?
