    Way too slow, I don't expect to see this in constructed.

    I don't think the payoff is good enough to incentivize playing this over some more impactful minions.

    Solid, but not spectacular. Might not see play as weapon slots are quite contested already.

    For a class that has plenty of draw already, this just seems too clunky.

    Seems crazy good to fend off aggro. It's always Demon Hunter that gets the best cards, isn't it?

    Even with just one Elemental played it's two 8/8s, but it still feels tad too conditional for me due to the high cost.

    Seems way too slow. Maybe there will be some quirky combo decks or maybe you'll just want to assert dominance with a massive Pen Flinger or something, but I suspect this won't see much play.

    It seems that the "official reveal" will be left for the card dump then. Why couldn't they just admit that they already leaked it if they had no real plans for the card either?

    Quote From UVE

    PS. If you reduce the mana of a corruptable card (from 4 to 3) that card will be corrupted if you play a 4 mana card? Or needs to play a card with cost higher than original cost?

    I haven't seen any confirmations, but I would imagine the original cost the be the one to matter. Might be wrong though.

    Hobgoblin 2.0 for Paladins. Hopefully his voicelines are equally catchy.

    EDIT: Might even challenge Steward of Darkshire for a spot in Odd Paladin.

    The card is good in a vacuum, but the meta will show if it's just too slow overall.

    It's not aggressively flashy to my eyes but the effect seems solid. Windfury makes it a real threat.

    Solid, but not magically good. Shamans were lacking a 3-Mana weapon from Standard so this will fill that slot quite nicely.

    Tutor with acceptable stats. If Enhancement Shaman will become a thing, this will be in every list. Decks running The Fist of Ra-den might also consider adding this guy in.

    Definitely a C'Thun Rogue stall tool. Seems decent, wouldn't be surprised if every a bit more control-oriented Rogue list ran at least one of these.

    It seems decent but the statline is still kinda off-putting for me. It's a 6-mana deal 6 to a minion with an upside of draw and buff, but is that good enough to see play? I remain unconvinced.

    Good value, opens up a lot of combo potential. Should see plenty of play.

    I like the Vladimir update, it's always nice to get more decision-making points. Not convinced if the change will help him, but I still like it.

    Ezreal change seems...brave. Let's see how that'll work out.

    Okay so Warlock will be the class for Y'Shaarj. Others are still lacking big enough Corruption payoffs.

    Quote From Swizard

    Compare this to Rin, the First Disciple which was played in some reno warlock decks.  This is a lot better, they both come out late but you don’t need to play so many weak cards to get it and you weren’t discarding more than 10 cards with Azari, the Devourer when you got to play him.

    Was planning to make that exact switch as well.

    Combine this with the new Y'Shaarj and you can burn 10 cards even in Standard. I'm a little bit worried on the balance side of things, and wouldn't be surprised to see this nerfed eventually. Maybe corrupting it will turn out to be harder than I think.
