Well, we saw our first Nerf of the set. Did we learn nothing about this guy with the spells? Colossal minions coming out super fast is scary.
You're looking at at least 6-7 mana to cheat something out, or even more cards to cheat Kael out then a big minion. It's hard to chain minions together, so you're probably only getting this effect once. Which class plays this card? It doesn't seem worth it.
I disagree, Demon Hunter's main gimmick of building up lots of one-turn attack buffs to augment weak weapons is not really seen in any other class. Personally, I find that gameplay loop pretty fun. The main issue is that their minions and non-attack spells are all over the place.
However, I also think that people are way too harsh on DH. Any time Blizzard makes something that's an even slight deviation on theme for them, and people flip their shit. Deathrattle DH was the only time I've had fun with the class, because it was something fresh. They should be allowed to experiment and find their footing.
Earth Shock is not a good counter, because you have no way to win the game other than getting lucky with the 10 rando cards. As soon as they topdeck a Pogo and you don't topdeck an Earth Shock, you lose.
The best counter is Varden Dawngrasp. You freeze their board every turn and establish a bunch of 3/3s to quickly end the game.
Even if this card were to be good, there is that heavily implied Location counter yet to be revealed. If that card is any good, then it'll keep this in check.
Literally Shadow Clone + Eye for an Eye in effect and mana cost. It's not quite as bad as Eye for an Eye since it's less susceptible to random pings, but that's not saying much.
I haven't played WoW in years, but I was under the impression that Rastakhan was a prelate for some reason. Looking at his fight, he does seem to mostly use Priest and Shaman abilities. Fair enough, then.
Seems likely. I wonder if the change is to help snipe Chadgar? I don't play Battlegrounds, but from what I've seen the Sky Pirate shotgun build is pretty stupid. At the very least, it makes the card a much worse activator for pirates.
The only time I ever completed one of those spell damage quests was a Shadow one when I was already playing a Shadow-heavy Abyssal Curselock. Even then, it still took me like eight games or something.
We got other Prelates in Rastakhan's Rumble that were represented properly. It's more that at the time Paladin already had Liadrin, Arthas, and Annoy-O while Shaman only had Morgl, so they gave the portrait to the class with less alt heroes. I hope they do the same with DH.
(Hasn't stopped them from adding a pre-order Mage portrait every year for the last three years, but whatever).
Grizzled Reinforcement could easily be 4 mana and have "Start of Game: Draw this." and not be broken.
I managed to open two golden Legendaries this set. Unfortunately, one of them was The Stonewright, so you can't win them all.
I'd imagine it summons a random minion from your hand to attack the targeted enemy minion.

This card is 7 mana.

Playing two in one turn to kill off all of your skeletons and resummon a full board. That's my guess at least.
Hir'eek, the Bat

No, there's a full-on alt mage skin. It's Kael'thas.
Oh my fucking god they actually added another mage hero. Are you kidding me.
"When this card is destroyed, add Spider-Man to your hand."
It's a way to get people to use Spider-Man in Nova/Carnage decks. I don't see how this is better than Bucky, though.

I mean, Sigil of Reckoning and Caria Felsoul. But the only Warlock Demon synergy in Standard is Shady Bartender.
