    Love the idea and the old Deathrattle Hunter flashbacks, but this list just seems waaaaaaaaaay too greedy. What are we even doing for the first 4 turns of the game, besides getting our faces pummeled in by Quest Warrior? Feel like we can remove a lot of the greed and add in some early-game defensive tools.

    Theoretically it's a better frost nova, but RNG might screw you over. I think Shamans will pass on this one in lieu of more reliable board clears like Lightning Storm and Perpetual Flame.

    This card has the potential to be very very strong, but I just can't quite figure out how. Maybe they'll show us a great card to go with it, but for now it will be one of those strong cards that might never see play.

    This card is INSANE. AoE board clear combined with crazy amounts of value and a lot of stats in the nearby future. Might just be good enough to completely overshadow The Demon Seed.

    This card is TURBO BUSTED. Vanish, 8 face damage and insane mana cheat potential in 1 card, with free armor on top. This will get nerfed no doubt.

    Reminds me of Pyros, but with spell synergy. They hinted at more frost synergy, which makes me believe that this card will be very handy in a multitude of ways.

    It's a lot of stats, curves perfectly into Arbor Up for a lot of face damage and is very very sticky. Don't overlook this one!

    It's a lot of stats, but feels a bit too slow. Might be great for guaranteed Composting or Arbor Up comboing though.

    Tutoring is always strong, so I feel like this has great potential. Just can't feel out a current spot for it.

    Mana cheat is strong, but it feels like it comes online too slowly. Only viable combo I see is with Glowfly Swarm, but that deck doesn't want many minions so don't feel like it makes the cut.

    It's like a mini Savage Roar for tempo DH, but we haven't seen that deck for quite a while. Its viability will very much depend on further card reveals that push aggressive strategies.

    Way too situational to be consistently good, but will feel awful when played against you. Hate the design of this card.

    Defile was amazing, but this card is just too expensive (and doesn't interact with spell power). Part of Defile's strength was that you could combo it with other cheap stuff like Mortal Coil to set up perfect clears, that's a lot harder to do when it costs 3 mana more.

    Too inconsistent and too weak by itself. Decent in arena though.

    The RNG might make it a bit too inconsistent, pretty good Siamat like card though.

    Might be too hard to consistently activate, but when you do it's strong. Unsure how good it will be, depends on the meta.

    Very very very bad card. Too conditional to act as Frost Nova, too expensive to act as Execute. And it also freezes your own board! Terrible card.

    Seems like a solid arena card, but too conditional with too little pay-off for standard.

    The first signs for Freeze Shaman don't see very good, and this isn't enough pay-offs. Not quite as trash as Moorabi, but that's like saying you're not quite as bad a person as Bobby Kotick.

    This is a worse Petting Zoo, and that already doesn't seem play. Also has anti-synergy with Dun Baldar Bunker because of the clunky curve.
