It is nice, if spell shaman becomes a thing. But right now - they are like pushing 2 completely different archetypes (in the hope that 1, at least, will work somewhat good) - a minion based evolve shaman and a spell based one. I will be happier if they stick to one of them - and make the cards complement each other more.
But I guess they want to make something for everyone, so that's why they are diversifying. Nothing wrong with it, I am just worried that this approach usually leads to the bottom of the ranking table.
Now they just need to add more rogue secrets to be confusing like against mage/hunter/pala and I will be happy.
And I like the body of the ambusher - 3 health will escape some cheap removals, so opponent need to invest something medium in order to not lose his big minion.
I know Dormant looks weak at the moment, but this (same as the DH one) has a "board-clear-kinda" effect when he pops out. To compensate for the tempo loss when you play it. So, I will most definitely try all those dormant dudes and see how they feel, being played on curve. I don't think it will be that bad.
And this one (same as the DH one) has a strong body that needs some attention, when he gets in to play.
And now, just imagine, if they add some sort of "trigger neutral spell" that lets you pop your dormant minions right away ;). Man can dream!
Druid and a lot of spells? Maly druid? But more card draw - worth it? Not so sure. And the discard shizzle is something I didn't like in the Book of spectres and I don't like it here - too much of a gamble imo.
I think those Prime cards are the hidden gems in the expansion. I like them a lot and I hope this won't be the first and last expansion we see them in.
Damn, I am not exactly sure why, but some of the cards in this expansion are just garbage straight away.
Some sort of Handlock without Giants and with the dude legendary that makes your handsize bigger? I am not conviced yet.

Something more OP than that will be if it had Twinspell.
It's a really good card. The only question is - since hunters have so many good cards if they will have space to include this one too.

This one, with it's 5mana cost, is even worse than the 3/3 minion for 3mana.
I don't see Evolve shaman be a thing - but hey, it's just the beginning of the reveal season - I have nothing against evolve proving me wrong :).
Evolve shenanigans again?
I don't like it even one bit. It can be a huge tempo swing or swing and a miss - and you need to be on board for that to even be playable.
They are just replacing cards, that rotates out? Almost like reprints in other card game. It's not 100% the same, but it's very similar.
Another card draw? Other classes will start getting jealous of the new boy in town.
I wonder what type of deck this starter deck will be. What are they aiming for with this card draw galore.
And I am still sad about the hof'ed acolyte of pain - one of my first ever crafted cards back in WotOG, trying to build OTK warrior deck.
If you proc the Outcast this one is OP. But I think it's nice and usable as a hand refill even without the Outcast.
Talking about murloc power in a DH deck.
Just from the WoW Lore I was expecting more from this weapon. But I guess this is a different game.
Without some sort of healing, I doubt this will be used on minions for it's effect, rather go face 2-3 times and win the game.
This one has taunt even without the keyword.
Pretty good finisher. And an appropriate rarity in my opinion.
Too much RNG, I guess?
Too bad :(. I was hoping..
Demons, moar demons!
I like it and I hope you can use it on a dormant demon 1 turn before it pops out, so instead of 1 - 2 will pop out on the next turn. Kinda OP.
So, are they trying to make DHs like AFKey?
Cuz this dormant mechanic seems pretty slow, but if you have the tools to let it pop, it can win games.
This one is maybe not a finisher, but must be removed asap and the 10dmg to all enemies must not be taken lightly on t7/t6.
