New Mage Spell - Vengeful Visage

I get that they want each class's secret repertoire to cover a variety of triggers, but this is just stupidly easy to play around. I give it 2 stars because no one will ever expect you to run such a …

New Mage Spell - Solid Alibi

People are going to hate this card so much. As an easy auto-include in every Mage archetype (and a more balanced version of [card]Ice Block[/card]), it gets 5 stars.

New Mage Spell - Deathborne

[card]Rancor[/card] comparisons are misguided because Mage has a much easier time "adjusting" enemy minion health than other classes. Also, the payoff for this is much, much better than a measly 2 armor apiece. Rancor was actually good during the brief …

New Mage Location - Nightcloak Sanctum

Another 4 stars I have to hand out because this whole archetype is just re-donkulous. I guess they didn't want to have to buff as many cards as they did last time.

New Mage Minion - Suspicious Alchemist

Seems like they are handing out these suspicious minions because they feel bad about having to nerf [card]Pandaren Importer[/card] (as they should). This is actually better than the panda for Mages -- I feel like the other suspicious classes got …

New Mage Minion - Chatty Bartender

With [deck]Oasis Ally[/deck] in play, I can see this sticking against heavily minion-based decks. Also, the damage goes face! That's a 4-star card, for sure.

New Mage Spell - Cold Case

Adding defense to an archetype that already seems very scary? Four armor, 4 face damage and 4/4 worth of stats? That seems to want 4 stars, so that's what I'll give it.

New Mage Spell - Frozen Touch

A minion-based deck with more removal than you can shake a stick at? Yes, please. This is a 5-star card because it lessens the skeleton deck's reliance on card draw, which is a very big deal.

New Paladin Minion - The Countess

It not hard at all to build a Pure Paladin deck, so this deck-building restriction is trivial. The only problem is that she's a 7-drop with no board impact, but Paladin should be able to set up for and recover …

New Paladin Minion - Stewart the Steward
Quote From DragonDraena

Is this creature an owl with horns and wing-claws? 

Also, the art looks like a close match to the one next (later today) in the reveal schedule.

The stewards are a …

New Paladin Minion - Elitist Snob

You only need 4 class card hand to get the full effect, and it's a considerable effect. I give it 5 stars because it's on par with a 5-star card from days of yore, and it fits into nearly every …

New Paladin Spell - Promotion

It's ... just OK. I give it 3 stars because there's an archetype that can actually exploit the fact that it costs 1.

New Paladin Spell - Divine Toll

It is a significantly worse [card]Consecration[/card], worth exactly 1 star.

New Paladin Minion - Sinful Sous Chef

Ideal stats for a 1-drop deathrattle, and it gives Dude Paladin exactly what it needs, more dudes. I give it 4 stars.

New Paladin Minion - Muckborn Servant

A taunt that discovers a class card is pretty much an auto-include, and that means it gets 4 stars.

New Paladin Minion - Buffet Biggun

It's kind of petite for someone called "biggun." However, this kind of deck will find it extremely easy to infuse this guy, so the value will nearly always be off the charts -- 4 stars.

New Paladin Location - Great Hall

Your opponent would be foolish to play into this, so don't expect to be hitting ginormous enemy minions with it after it's already on the board. You might catch one as you play the location, but no more than that.

New Paladin Spell - Service Bell

Paladin is always a powerful class because it has powerful class cards. Even non-pure decks tend to run very few neutrals. You are not going to build a Paladin deck with mostly neutral cards just so you can use this …

New Priest Spell - Clean the Scene

Kind of expensive if not infused, but I like that you have the option to play it uninfused if you have some biggish minions. Still, it's clunky, and there are better options that are not much more expensive, so 3 …

New Priest Minion - Mysterious Visitor

It pays for itself if you've copied even a single card. It can give massive returns if you've copied more. Xerox Priest can really pop off after something like this. Mana cheat with high swing potential deserves 4 stars.
