Elise could maybe do something with Cards in Hand/Handsize. Or maybe something else control-ish like Healing. Don't think they'll go with Aggro-Token for her, wouldn't really fit her Character imo.
Paladin, a Class that has Murloc-Support and a Hero, that's a Murloc... Hmm... Srsly though, not a fan of them, but COME ON, don't waste that opportunity!
And for Brann: He learned how to tame a giant Dino, so maybe his HP/Battlecry could be more related to Beasts? Has been a while since Hunter had a Deck build around Beast-Synergies. I don't think they'll go a Deathrattle or Weapons route with him. Hunter might have Weapons, but, except for 1 Card, they never had any support for it in all these years.
I don't play Mage, but that Card would be a reason for me to give that Class a try! Can't wait to get salty after losing to this or laughing my socks off when it casts Myra's Unstable Element or Cataclysm.
And for all those who hate it, look at it this way: it's not another Burn for Tempo-Mage ;)
We might, but reborn is an uldum mechanic so when we will see the mechanic it will be a card referencing the expansion or an event that includes uldum as a theme (like rise of mechs in june with SN1P-SN4P).
Quest paladin is the only quest with a mechanic that only applies to the expansion it was released in.. so I hipe we will get more support for it somehow I would like the quest to get various versions to it, since it's quite interesting.
Yeah, I'd also like to see it become a more regular Keyword. That way you could give Priests their „Revive something" Class-Identity stuff without relying on BS like Spellstone or Mass Resurrection.
But at least we got something. Unlike ECHO ...err sorry, I meant „Repeatable this Turn".
Cool little Idea. Forcing your Opponent to either play a sub-optimal Turn or lose a Card is always great!
Also, with Cards like Gnomeferatu or Demonic Project in Mind, I really like that they are giving Warlock this little bit of „Combo Breaker" Class-Identity. I hope they give something similar to this to Rogue in the future. Playing „dirty" would fit so well to that Class.
The Devs really put in some Work into this whole Expansion: Free Stuff, multiple Hero-Cards, Updates and now they'll add even more Cards! Really a great Climax for the Year of the Dragon.
The new Reno and that Warlock-Card seem pretty interessting, the Pally-Mech looks solid (Shielded Minibot anyone?) and that Priest-Card... uhh, exists? That's the most positive thing I can come up with.
BTW: Does anyone know how many Cards per Class there will be? Going by Karazhan and LoE (45 Cards), it could be 3 for all + some Neutrals. Or maybe it's like Blackrock (31) with 2 for all + 4 Heroes for the good guys.
Now Shamans can only summon 4 4-5 Taunts for 8 Mana and play Shudderwock afterwards! WOOO!
-1/-1 is a much bigger deal than you think: first of all, now you can expect your minions to survive the trade (you'll be surprised to notice how big is the difference between 4 and 5 attack); secondly Kronx Dragonhoof's Annihilation will clear the buffed Spirit Wolfs (since Galakrond decks are and will be popular it's a HUGE upside); finally, the new version of the card is more toward the "defend my face" than the "defend my face and kill the opponent".
A bigger nerf would have made the card not that good and, despite hating Dragon's Pack a lot, I feel it would have been undeserved.
Yeah, no doubt that this Nerf is gonna have an Impact on the Winrate of that Card. Though 8 Mana 19/23 is still huge, it has become more susceptible to Removal.
I just personally think that the Galakrond/Shudderwock-turns are the ones that kill you. Dragon's Pack (+ Electra) gives you a big Board, but the other 2 give you a big Board AND Immediate Damage from the Weapon.
That's a pretty fair Nerf I think. 2 Mana deal 2 to a Minion and freeze something is still pretty good.
...Or maybe this is just a pathetic Attempt at putting an End to the absolute Dominance of Freeze-Shaman! Ha, by Moorabi! How I pitty these simple Mortals!
Lol, CaReno-Mage

Hehehe... Sounds stupid. Hell yeah!

ngl, I completely forgot that Arena exists.

Maybe the HP could be related to the Minions that „disappeared"? Something like : „Summon a random Minion that got FLEXED ON!!!"
But no matter what HP, I think a Hero-Card is something that could make Highlander-Mage a Top-Tier Deck.
Maybe that's some Compensation for „Fluffy Kibler-Dragon"!

Community: More Lackey- or Galakrond-Support, please!
Hearthstone-Devs: Random 2-Drop... but WITH MORE HEALTH!
Shielded Minibot is a great Card, so this is very likely to see play.
Don't know if it's gonna see play in wild Mech-Pally though... Shielded Minibot takes a hit and keeps the Buffs, while this just comes back as a 2-1.
BTW: Is this a Sign that we're gonna see more Reborn in the future?
Awesome little Trailer!

Hell, Yeah! Much needed Nerf for that Card!

Wait...You're telling me it was possible before? Huh, TIL, I guess.
Anyway, that's just a minor Nerf. I don't think that's gonna influence the Play-/Winrate of this Card at all.
Decent Nerf. Pirate-Warrior desperately needs a good Draw, so taking away 1 is huge. But it's still pretty strong Card for that Archetype.
Anyway... fucking suck on that, ye scurvy Dogs!
Was that Nerf really that needed? Genuine Question.
I only encountered a handfull of Gala-Warriors (mostly in Wild), but that Card was never a problem, not even buffed up.
Damn, that's a shame they had to hit that Card. Pulling of fun/stupid Combos is gonna be much harder with this guy being clunkier.
But I guess it was necessary though. Getting charged to death by 1 Mana 10-10s or a giant Leeroy Jenkins sucks.
That's a pretty fair Nerf I think. 2 Mana deal 2 to a Minion and freeze something is still pretty good.
...Or maybe this is just a pathetic Attempt at putting an End to the absolute Dominance of Freeze-Shaman! Ha, by Moorabi! How I pitty these simple Mortals!
Why would they hit that Card? Do they expect Gala-Zoolock to become to powerful after the Nerfs?
Or maybe the Devs want the Meta to shift more towards control. Wild guess, but the Nerfs do seem like it to me.
Damn! When they said they're gonna balance some Cards, I didn't expect them to hit all of the potential candidates and some more!
That's defenitely gonna leave a giant mark on the Meta. I'm still hoping for Galakrond-Priest to become finally somewhat viable.
BTW: Remember when during Reveal-Season everyone said that this might be the most powerful set ever?
