The main thing I can see is a thrice as expensive Holy Smite, which doesn't make me very excited. However, I can see some fringe situations where this can be very powerful. I feel like these situations are too fringe to justify putting this in my deck though.

Might be a very strong tool for both Ping Mage and Big Spell Mage (since they need early game minions). However, mages have not wanted to actually play minions for several expansions now and I am really not sure if this will change.

First of all, the flavour for this is very weird. Why is it a Druid card? What's druid about wyverns and orcs throwing bombs? The card itself seems pretty strong in the right circumstances, but I think the right cicrumstances might be too uncommon.

If this is the pay-off for Big Beast hunter, I just got even less faith in it ever working. Hunter does not want big sticky taunts, it wants to go face.

Can be good for some value trades or a narrow lethal, but overall too unimpactful compared to other things Druid can do with 2 mana (hello Razormane Battleguard).

This is obviously best after equipping a 1-mana weapon on turn 1, but I don't really believe in Dreadprison Glaive. Maybe in some kind of tempo deck with deathrattle minions that runs Tuskpiercer?

It's a powercrept Restless Mummy, a very powerful removal tool. Won't be too surprised to see this being ran in more slower DH lists, maybe even in tempo-based face lists.

This has the potential to be insanely busted with Felfire Deadeye, and just pretty good besides that. Also happy to see the hero doesn't support OTK or Fel DH, hate those decks with their lifesteal shenanigans.

Seems like a good card, not as good as it's little brother Oh My Yogg! but still decent at stopping decks from removing your face-going minions. If a secret deck works this will go in it, else you wouldn't hate seeing it from Rinling's Rifle or Beaststalker Tavish.

Seems like solid Big Paladin support. An AoE you can set up for, with possible massive healing? Only downside is that 2 damage might just be way too little this late in the game.

This is an absurdly strong defensive tool against any class other than druid (hello Arbor Up). It can completely nullify win conditions. Mages don't have a lot of minions they care about anyway.

I think this is a bit too low impact and most warrior decks will still prefer going with Raid the Docks (which will overwrite The Unstoppable Force). Might be good in some controlly warrior decks, but I also fear that those will still opt for The Juggernaut since it's a lot more high-impact and value than Shadowform that sometimes gives you armor.

I'm not feeling it. It's too slow for quest mage and doesn't guarantee you recast any useful spells, while Big Spell Mage rarely actually wants to cast their spells (and they don't even have a big arcane spell to cast, usually being limited to Deep Freeze and Flamestrike/Grand Finale). The hero power is also just incredibly slow.

That's a stacked line-up! XiaoT is the obvious favourite seeing his succes last weekend, but I wouldn't put it past any of these players to take it home. Shame there's not an English restream though, I wonder if there's any rules against restreaming it yourself?
I'd rather just play good cards in my deck rather than hoping to discover some from another class.

This card is crazy strong. Premium stats and draw 2, synergy with Xyrella, the Devout? Busted.

Most decks run very few Choose One cards, and would rather run Jerry Rig Carpenter than this.

Sweet card, goes in any hunter deck except Quest Hunter. Can't wait to huffer my opponent's face every turn.

Now this is crazy, very RNG-heavy but rarely weak. Now I believe in big spell mage.
Cool flavour, but too situational
