    As others pointed out, this won't work out in token that we know, where it would have the most significant impact. Also, extra stats are surely worth extra 1 mana, but the effect is not immediate.

    General problem with this card is that you have to put a lot of minions in deck, and Druid strenght lies mostly in its spells.

    It will be interesting to see how good it will be in Arena, I guess it should be a strong early play. Mana cost can screw your curve, but you can build hard aggro if you get it early in draft.

    Fair card, Gala Warlock is promising and this one synergises well with it, putting stuff on the board and buffing it. But it's also not a cheap tempo price, since those imps are like mosquitoes when played on curve. I think it will be played.

    In dragon decks, you better look draw/generation somewhere else. For 2 mana, you'll want your cards to be as impactful as possible, and you'll want bigger body/more draw later. Could be good for duplicating win condition dragons, but I found none to be worth it for now.

    Will not see play in Cobstructed for sure. In arena it's questionable, if you have good curve mulligan you could drop this on curve which would be the most effective use, but otherwise it could clog you early with expensive, non-reactive cards. Late game value is not guaranteed, since it could be cleared, so I think this card is overall something you don't want in the deck if you want to win.

    Can be played early for 3 damage, late for triple 3/2 or triple 7/6. It should see play, sounds flexible enough and with great potential value, fitting tempo nicely.

    Great card, good removal and a specific draw, with an option to play it as 4/1 if needed. Can pull Zilliax, and maybe Oondasta if you want to build around it. Additionally, on curve Hyena fuel. Any strong rush printed from now on could just make this stronger.

    Not that easy to setup, you'll rarely want this on curve. Needs to be a part of cyclone turn, together with apprentice, so it's 5 mana to start with. Then it's reasonable to get 2 dragons for this to be really worth it, but against classes that lack removal, one 5/5 earlier should be good enough.

    I think it's not enough to get Cyclone back, especially having in mind that power level will rise tremendously. It fits just one specific deck too. I hope I don't get this.

    I really the design of it and the surprise of another legendary weapon. At the moment, toy for wild players, it will be interesting to see if pirate warrior can make a return. It has future potential too. I would be happy to get this and try it out.

    Not a flashy card, but will be used. Beautiful art.

    Epic filler, useless in Constructed.

    Quote From Ethardoth

    Do I get this correctly: if we didn't make a free deck, we don't get anything? Man, if it's true, that sounds pretty unfair if you ask me.

    If anyone is interested, I actually got the gold although I haven't made the deck. 

    I was a bit upset because I guessed that most people would get compensation for their free unfinished run, while us that haven't used the ticket to create the deck would be left out. I wasn't in the mood for the brawl at the moment and a few hours later - gone. I was thinking, I would be happy with 150 g just for entrance fee. 

    Ultimately I decided that I don't care, it was just temporary bad mood. But they decided to be generous, so I'm thankful.

    @og0, thank you, I have read that part and instantly forgot about the packs after I saw gold part, so my wording wasn't the best. Greed is blind.

    The only thing that I like about this card is art, unfortunately.

    The effect is already seen, but this time confusingly worded. The effect is not good enough for constructed, you will likely fail to guess, and even if you get it right, it's probably not impactful enough. Unless you get something really good for your strategy (which you usually will try to), but that should happen rare. Body is really bad in priest, since you can hardly heal this.

    Great flavor, beautiful art, and amazing value card. Does not feel mandatory for a dragon deck, more like good to have. That's why I'd love to open it, so I don't have to think about crafting a class specific. :)

    Very hard to predict where this would be good and how good exactly. I guess it will be a crucial card for some deck, the effect is very unique and dramatic and that usually gets exploited hard. Important thing to note is that this is at least a late game Sea Giant, which meanwhile could serve as Dragon activator. Not bad.

    Two turns earlier Abyssal Enforcer? Sign me up on this one...

    Although probably unnecessary for zoolock, which could become dominant Warlock deck with Galakrond.

    Reminds me of Gral, the Shark. Great value, although Combo part does it make it tricky to squeeze its full tempo potential. With all deathrattle synergy available and Waxadred, this is likely to be featured in meta decks.

    Good control card overall, dragon pala or not, will surely see play. In arena it's bonkers, crazy strong.

    A must-craft for the majority of players. Galakrond decks will likely succeed, this will add necessary consistency which C'thun decks lacked, and has no downside. I sense hard times for classes that don't have access to Galakrond.

    I like this one - beautiful artwork and good removal effect, on aggressive body. Tackles one of Hunter's weaknesses, which is big minions. Would be happy to open this, highlander will find a place for it.
