I've been assuming that the game won't let you use 2 of a card from the core set and 2 of the same card from AoO, but I want to test that when the new set launches. Or anything like that from the new core set, and the old classic set in wild with cards that are returning from classic.
Seems like an aggro card. Could be good in decks that cycle through the deck quickly, otherwise the game might be over before you even find Mankrik's Wife.
Too slow for aggro. I don't think even Zoolock would want to slow down and play a 3/4 just to maybe get a payoff. Maybe it sees play in Midrange, but without Highlander support that seems iffy.
You're probably right. I thought maybe with enough draw, you could draw his wife quickly. And with bounce cards, engage in some polygamy. I guess I mostly said it because the summoned Mankrik immediately goes face.
I'm pretty certain 3 3/2s on turn 10 or later is crap. 2 after turn 5 isn't that great either. The upgrade effect just seems too weak to even bother having it.
Doesn't sound super great. It could be a spell of any cost, so you might not even be able to play it for several turns. You should be able to get 2 spells from it with Shadowstep. If we still have Shadowstep.
5 mana, and does nothing when it's played? I'm not having a lot of hope for this card. I guess it might be good with Animated Broomstick, or all the ways warrior has to damage their own minions. Can't say no to 5 free damage to face (maybe).
1 mana 1/3 is good. If played early, it will almost certainly survive a hit, then you have a 1 mana 3/4 in your deck somewhere. If you're lucky, maybe you'll shuffle in a 1 mana 5/5.
We don't know how many Holy spells there will be, but it looks at least decent. Maybe it won't be great for another expansion or 2. That happens with new cards sometimes.
Nice. It can hit something for 7 damage, and as long as that something doesn't have 6 or more attack, it will transform into a taunt minion and get all its health back +1.
If it had those cost and stats and Spell Damage +3, it would be OP as fuck. Since it's limited to only affecting a subset of spells, maybe it will just be good. Right now the only Nature spell we know is Chain Lightning (Rank 1), so we'll need to see more to say how good this is.

This could be nice. Want to get rid of a big taunt? Done. Want to replay a strong battlecry? Done. Just hope you don't pull some 10-mana minion from the enemy's hand on turn 5.
I'm certain it wasn't in the list of cards that got moved to the Hall of Fame when I asked this. It's still not in the list of cards that got the Elemental tag later. Neither is Molten Giant.
It said the achievements are based on winning games, not doing weird tasks that require shitty decks, so I'd guess that if, for example, a golden card is unlocked for winning 50 games as Mage, you will also get the golden version of its replacement if you've completed the achievement.

I'm guessing there's no way hats that get placed over your BG hero wouldn't look stupid.

Can't really complain about a 0-mana spell. And this is a class that can generate tons of value by casting spells repeatedly.

I like this upgrading mechanic. If you draw in the mid or late game, you might still kill something. And if not, it's 2 mana.
How good this is will depend on how easy it is to buff it before you proc the Frenzy effect.

I guess this means they weren't able to get the new game mode from the Year of the Phoenix phase 3 ready as soon as they originally planned.
Expansion 2: Clearly Alliance based.
Expansion 3: Shadowlands?
Is that something in the works? I think it would be nice to have.

What about Mountain Giant?
