Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't blizzard say there is going to be a new tribe for expansion 2? Considering this is a necromancy school, perhaps undead?
In order to add it into your hand, it would need a gold cost. Otherwise, you can just press the button every turn, and make the ice block situation worse.
May I ask how you propose to change Odd DH's hero power? All of the other upgraded hero powers double the power of the original (except hunter for some reason).
With all of the multiclassing we've been seeing lately (mainly Tombs of Terror and the Felfire Festival), I'm pretty confident the new gamemode will be dual-class constructed.
For one, if you get premium, you can get high rank stats for decks. As for the reason I believe it's featured here, it's likely the best deck in the format.
I hope to see viable "suicide zoo" strategies that have been slightly pushed by Wrathscale Naga and Feast of Souls. Along that, I hope to see some more OTK DH decks, both through giving slow options, and by giving actual combos.
I really like the idea of going back to gadgetzan, with new groups. Feed back time:
Change the wording of Splitting Tunnels so that it would fit 4 lines of text. I suggest "Secret: When an enemy attacks your hero, it instead attacks a friendly minion. Give the attacked minion Divine Shield and Taunt."
I don't know how I feel about the learn keyword. First of all, it doesn't make sense for the learning class to be able to pull from their own class (Paladins are learning from mages and shamans, not from other paladins). Secondly, wouldn't it be easier to just write it out? For beginner infuser, I feel like it would be better to say "Whenever you restore health, add a random mage or shaman elemental to your hand.".
Oger Mage says "another" in its card text, so it can be assumed that it will target two targets 50% of the time. You should either change the statline or the effect, as this version is very powerful.
For Potion of the Sea, I think it should cost 5 mana. Most of the time, it's just an expensive Frost Nova, and when it's not, you likely already used a Frost Nova style card.
I feel like Electra's heropower is much too strong. In big shaman, for 2 mana you get to summon another big threat, without expending any other resources.
Black Hole does not make sense thematically. What do black holes have to do with elementals? And wouldn't a black hole use the Poof mechanic, because point of no return and all?
Lunar lantern displays an elemental in the artwork, I think it would be fine to make it one.
For a set with a focus on elementals, there is a serious lack of elementals. In mage, there is only 1, in shaman and paladin only 3.
Paladin (from what I heard - I don't play standard) needs 1 drops and draw. Paladin might see an increase in viability, but I don't know if it will be high tier until it gains some card draw.
Either way, I love how Blizzard is buffing and nerfing cards more often, especially the buffing part.
Getting the individual set blocks let you fill out the individual sets, while the YOD packs will fill in that what you're missing. With the duplicate restrictions in place, you can think of them as "wildcards".
I made a mistake, I thought it was in the Roadmap for phase 2. Still hoping for the new tribe though.

Your articles always make Hearthstone and WoW lore interesting - Thank you for sharing.

It's not Twinspell for the same reason Y'Shaarj isn't recruit - it's not in the proper set(s) to have that keyword.
It's a significant buff for Odd DH players

We can finally great others as a normal person while playing Demon Hunter! I love it!
Thanks for sharing!
Necromentia summons the zombies for your opponent, right? Why would you play this?
Edit: Misread the card: Thought it summoned a zombie for every card exiled, not only the ones in hand.
What does Vargoth + Metamorphosis do?

Could someone please explain the combo to me?
Think about it this way - imagine this with Leeroy
I feel like the same change should be made for C'Thun decks
I just realized - this is the only way to get a Rise of Galakrond card outside of the set (Mage has arcane amplifier)
