Kind of an odd card, but the combination of rush and taunt is relevant to Taunt Warrior with it's taunt handbuffs. Even if you don't include this in your Taunt Warrior, you'll be happy to see it in a discover pool from Frightened Flunky.
Probably not proactive enough for most decks, but this is a solid dragon that your opponent has to trade into in order to kill, so you'd be happy discovering it.
This seems like a very solid card - nothing super interesting, but it's a good pile of stats and keywords with a dragon tag. Any tempo oriented dragon deck will want to run this.
Utgarde Grapplesniper looks bad. I'm reminded of Wrathion and Roll the Bones here - two cards whose value only came from loading up on tons of a specific type of card. Neither was good because it was so impractical to load your deck full of valid targets - there just isn't enough room in your deck. Even if you can find enough decent dragons to make this work frequently, you have the downside of drawing your opponent a card, and maybe even summoning a minion for your opponent.
This is probably about vanilla in terms of stats, but produces three bodies (which can matter a lot). I could actually see this being run in Paladin in the same deck that runs Righteous Cause
You don't take any damage from casting this (unlike swinging a weapon), but getting a meager one hit of Supercollider for 3 mana is a tough sell, and Warrior already has a lot of viable 3 drop options.
It doesn't take a lot of overload to make this a 1 mana 2/3 often enough to get tons of early game value out of it. If aggro shaman continues to be good in the meta, this will be a centerpiece of the deck.
Maybe too fair for standard, but +2 spell damage on a body that's likely to stick around for a turn or two is very powerful for Shaman, and this curves nicely into Lightning Storm or Lightning Breath on turn 5 to clean up the enemy board.
Nowhere near the best Galakrond, but between Corrupt Elementalist for easy upgrades, Kronx Dragonhoof for frequent access, and Shudderwock for extra 8/8 rushers and devastations, this could easily see a lot of play.
In many cases, this seems like an upgraded Ship's Cannon - same effect, more health, and a mech tribal tag. Where this might prove to be much worse, though, is the cost. This effect exists to snowball you to a win, so getting this effect online one turn earlier makes a huge world of difference for Pirate Warrior. That's not to say it won't be a mainstay of Standard Pirate Warrior, but there are upsides and downsides as compared to Ship's Cannon.
As everyone has pointed out - Glacial Shard with rush (but the downside of not triggering elemental battlecries, if that matters). Maybe worth playing in a Galakrond Deck, since it's very cheap and can do a lot to control an early game board, but there are probably more impactful ways to get your invokes in.
As stupid as this sounds, I think it's nice they're adding a little Freeze Shaman support. It would be cool if one day you could play a modestly competitive Freeze Shaman in Wild. Alternatively, the next time they cycle cards into standard from wild, maybe Freeze Shaman would have enough support to be more than a meme.
The turn you play this, it's a 4 attack weapon, but then it's a 1 attack weapon again...Seems okay, and might be a staple in a Galakrond Warrior because its class invokes are kind of weak, but it's not nearly as strong as a lot of other class invokes.
Wasn't Azure Drake literally removed because it was too much of an auto-include? (I guess technically it was also a problem because it was evergreen...)
The 1/1 for spell damage trade is fine, and this will almost certainly see play as an auto-include two-of in every Dragon deck in the meta.

Probably a little too weak for constructed play, but a very solid mech none the less.

Yet another super niche tech card. Not sure when Grizzled Wizard is good, but it's certainly amusing.

Playable, has some synergy with Skybarge, may get some excellent high rolls, but not a particularly exciting card.
This is generally pretty bad, but Scion of Ruin is good enough that you might run it anyway.

Good with a wide board, good with Vessina - should be able to see play in an aggro shaman deck.
If you've invoked twice (easy with Corrupt Elementalist), you get 2x the vanilla stats for 5 mana. Seems like a slam dunk.

Neat tech card against age-old archetypes. I wonder if this works if your minions are already frozen, or if it only applies to new freeze effects.
