    This card is just bad. It cost a lot of mana and has poor stats and the battlecry isn't even good. 6 damage randomly split amongst all other minions is just too little for 6 mana. If it dealt it all to a single target minion then this would be good, or the least this could do is only hit enemy minions.

    I must have missed those. I was just looking for other beasts in the list, I didn't notice the Wildtamers.

    And I feel especially stupid because you explained this in the guide and I didn't bother to check.

    Why do you have Beastmaster Leoroxx when you are only going to summon 1 beast? Wouldn't it be easier to just play King Krush right from your hand?

    I wish they had changed the Underlight Angling Rod animation just a little bit so that at the end of the animation it is in the same place as when it started so that it doesn't jerk back to the start when it is done swinging.

    This card looks so powerful. This will definitely be that secret everyone plays around for the next year.

    Also that art is so good . .

    Lets see, 

    1. Kayn Sunfury. Like most of you, I am very intrigued and excited by this card. It is so flexible and useful in a manner of situations and it will act as a good finisher when your opponent plays a taunt. This is the first expansion of the year, so I will try and collect less "build around" cards and more "staple" cards that will go in a manner of decks.
    2. Maiev Shadowsong. This card is just too good in too many decks for me to justify not owning her. I imagine she will play a similar role to Zilliax in the coming years.
    3. Magtheridon. I am very excited for this card. I am not 100% sure how good it will be and I have higher crafting priorities, but I will be so happy if I open him. I really do think this will be a very powerful card as you can pair it with any small board clear to get a huge board clear.

    Honorable mentions:

    Keli'dan the Breaker, A very powerful and flexible card, but not the highest on my list of priorities.

    The Lurker Below, like Keli'dan, while this card looks fairly powerful and flexible, there are better legendaries to aquire.

    Any of the Hunter legendaries. I really like the look of hunter this set, big powerful beasts are a lot more appealing to me than lots of tiny beasts. But I don't want to commit my resources to putting together an experimental deck. I would rather get more flexible cards that can be used in more decks like Maiev.

    I think the best way to beat demon hunters is to get on top of their board with cheap removal and taunts while also pressuring their Health to prevent them from attacking your board with their hero too much. 

    Quest druid is just too slow and will get run over too fast for it to be good against demon hunters.

    Is it weird that illidan is a battlegrounds hero and a basic hero? And will he be replaced by that one other demon guy who is replacing illidan's card?

    While I personally am not losing any dust, I am sure there are plenty of people who dusted these cards after the nerf refunds left, and they are losing dust.

    I wish they would reduce the crafting cost of the buffed cards to be equal to the dusting cost the same way they increase the dusting cost to be equal to the crafting cost when they nerf cards. I dusted my Dr. Boom when it got nerfed and now I will have to craft it back again.

    I agree, Burrowing Scorpid doesn't really look like a rogue-only card. Sure it has stealth which is a thing for rogues in this set, but this could easily see play in a number of midrange decks across the classes.

    I think that square would be better filled by Soulbound Ashtongue which will probably only see play in Warlock decks that want to damage themselves.

    I won on my first game when my opponent played Millhouse Manastorm and the next turn I drew 6 cards with Azure Drake and Coldlight Oracle while Brann Bronzebeard was on the field. Then I dealt around 30 damage with Pyroblast, Arcane Blast, and two Fireballs plus the minions I had on the field.

    I agree this brawl can be frustrating when your opponent tries to kill you with spells or something, but it can be fun sometimes.

    @KANSAS what about this one?

    Show Spoiler

    Thanks a lot, it looks great!

    @Inconspicuosaurus (by the way that is an awesome username) I don't think the flavor is a very big deal for two reasons. One, it really isn't that inconsistent with other Hearthstone cards. Like you mentioned, you take damage when you attack with Eaglehorn Bow or Rhok'delar. And two, the "throwing" aspect of the card isn't supposed to be the theme. The point isn't that you are "throwing" the knives, but that you have a lot of small things that deal small amounts of damage.

    But as they say, the customer is always right. If people think I should change the theme because the flavor is off then I will.

    After a bit of brainstorming I came up with this card:

    Obviously I haven't found any good art for it yet. I will keep looking for some but I would appreciate some help.

    Aside from the missing art, what do you think?

    I think this card will be better in combo type decks that mainly want to play this for the draw and not necessarily for the good 1-drop. Most of the time you won't be able to trigger this on turn one, which is fine, but makes it a less powerful tempo play.

    All in all an amazing card, but I don't think it will be quite as good as Kobold Librarian.

    A very cool card with a lot of interesting interactions. You could use this in warrior for enrage synergies, or in paladin if a "Divine Shield matters" deck ever becomes a thing, or you could just play this in any old board based deck that can use this to make a favorable trade.

    I don't know how good this minion is, but I am very glad to see more cards that care about stealth. It is supposed to be part of rogues identity, there should be better stealth cards.

    It has an immediate impact on the board and leaves behind a big guy for your opponent to have to deal with next turn. This is definitely one of the better "big demons" in this set.

    It's a Naga, not a Demon :P Sadly won't be able to combo him with the likes of Raging Felscreamer.

    Oh yeah, I guess I just saw a large Demon Hunter minion and made assumptions. A shame, it would have been pretty cool as a demon. I still think it is a good card though.

    Is this the only imprisoned minion that isn't a demon? 

    Anyway, I don't think you would want to play this just because the effect is so small. If you get this on turn 1 I suppose it is good, but just playing this on turn 3 is too late. Definitely one of the worse imprisoned minions.

    definitely a powerful card, but I am not sure murlocs have enough draw to get this consistently. It might be used just as an okay 2 drop and maybe a second board later.
