    Seems like a fine enough card. "Soul of the Murloc for everyone" is the long-and-the-short of it. Might be a little expensive, but 3-mana would be too good so there ya go.

    It's all going to come down to how successful you can be with the Rush, because a 1/X Taunt for 5-mana is terrible.

    This card is infinitely worse than Dyn-o-matic, because there's no way to set it up in your favor...outside of having an empty board of your own, in which case you're way behind. Will a 6/6/3 save you, with 6 ping damage? Highly unlikely.

    Remove 1/1 from the Dragon and add it to the Rider. What do you have? Cairne Bloodhoof. This is a Common version of Cairne, plus it has a Dragon tag for synergies. How the mighty(?) have fallen.

    Infinitely better than Bonechewer Brawler, that's for sure: at least this one has the hope of being procced more than once before it dies. It's a Gurubashi Berserker that has to be removed; is that good enough for Constructed? I don't know, but I like it anyway.

    How the mighty Supremus has fallen. This is a pack-filler, folks; nothing to see here.

    Certainly an interesting effect, but is it anything more than a meme? You would need to support its usage with Rush (or it will be swiftly removed), and you need to include with it some removal of your own (to eliminate the enemy Sporeling and end the cycle). Seems like too much effort.

    Too clunky to be that effective, I don't see it as anything more than a gimmick. Echoing Ooze costs 1 less and copies all bonuses like the Deathrattle of Spikeridged Steed; this doesn't do that.

    Seems good for Arena, but I don't see it being played in Constructed. Sticky Taunts are nice, but this requires your entire turn; that's way too slow.

    I'm not sold on this card: I think it will see experimentation, but eventually falls into obscurity after people determine the mirrored effect is too dangerous. Could be wrong. Kripp pulling it randomly in the stream is what I envision will happen to most of us.

    Random card for this expansion, plus I don't really like it. Are you planning to combo it with Libram of Wisdom? That's about all I can think of.

    Meta-dependent, obviously. If Pirates or Murlocs or something else swarmy tries to take over the game, you play this and ruin their day.

    I can definitely see this card being ubiquitous: it has a universally-appealing effect that can be used in a wide variety of situations.

    I think this one will see a lot of experimentation, become hard-countered, and then crawl back into oblivion.

    I agree: it's a flashy card, to be sure, but I just don't think it's going to work out in practice.

    Terrible, just...terrible. Don't think I have anything unique to add, in terms of commentary; it's just that bad.

    This card isn't for me, but I'm sure someone will find a way to abuse it (...I guess they have already).

    One of the worst Imprisoned minions, and there's a long list vying for attention on that front.

    For a card named Sword and Board, I would have expected an effect like this. However, I would not have expected it to be so...tiny. Not sure this is worth running.

    Thankfully it doesn't specify the minions have to be friendly or enemy; that would be terrible. It's definitely an average card, either-way.

    I don't play Pirate Warrior, so I can't really speak to its validity in that archetype, but I feel like it will do them good.
