Another really solid turn 1 play. The body is minimal, of course, but Discovering an option for turn 2 is nice. This is a lot like Cactus Construct, though not quite as good.
This looks pretty good to me! There are plenty of viable Locations that you could easily have down by turn 5. Then you have vanilla stats on curve plus Draw 2.
This is just bad. You'll never trigger this effect more than once, and when you do, it's going to at most a 4 mana spell, so not even that big. Once you get your board, you can't summon more minions unless some have Rush and can trade and die. If you could cheat this out and then cast an 8-10 mana spell, it could be worth it.
Great card! Make an enemy minion easy to kill, and develop a potentially beefy Taunt for yourself. Even if it swaps with something medium-sized, it's still a decent play.
I don't think this card will be much good, but I really WANT it to be! If it's your only Beast, you will have ways to tutor it out, but even then, it doesn't have Rush, Taunt or Lifesteal, so its impact will be minimal.
This seems pretty good, but I don't get why it doesn't just say "Honorable Kill." Either way, a 4 mana 4/4 with Rush is definitely ok, and getting a mini one just makes it better.
Hard to see this being really powerful. There are so many ways to deal with an 8/8 nowadays, and at 20 mana, you can't cheat this out super early. I guess Gaslight Gatekeeper is a good partner to this? Or, you play it free or cheap, along with the New Zilliax?
Call back to Harbinger Celestia, who never saw much play, I don't think. This has the potential advantage of maintaining decent stats instead of turning into a 1/1, but it also lacks stealth, which makes it easy to remove.
This card is really good! A great way to reduce a powerful enemy minion while also fielding a significant threat. It would be hilarious to see this in a handbuff deck, where you use it to add massive stats to a small minion that is already on board waiting to attack.
Really interesting card, and potentially very good! How do you play around Secrets differently when you know that they are going away next turn? I'm assuming, since this is neutral and it says "random," that the Secrets it plays can be from any class, regardless of whether you're playing a Secrets class or not.
Certainly a valuable turn 4 play to set yourself up with a 5-drop. Stats are just ok, given its effect. I can't wait to see what giving the drawn minion "a funny mustache" will look like!
A new variety of "egg"! This looks super good, as the bonus effects can potentially make this much better than the usual tokens that eggs create. Most classes that can effectively use an egg have no trouble breaking them open.
I see what you're doing and I think it's cool, even if others think you're a fool. Slipping in rhymes is really quite neat, and I have to admit you're quick on the beat.
Great article, Link! I'm glad that this information is out there, and I hope more games will follow Baldur's Gate III's example.
As a non-LGBT gamer, I love to see LGBT characters presented in appropriate ways because this reflects the world I live in. I want my LGBT friends (and all LGBT people) to feel seen and respected as people, and I want their existence to be seen as normal by people who do not understand or accept them for who they are.
For those who disagree, I would ask that you take a moment to ask yourself why. What harm would be done to you or your gaming experience to see more diverse characters in games? What would you lose? And more importantly, what would we all gain?
Don't really like the fact that you get a card early if you pre-order. Card doesn't look amazing, but it's still scummy. At most it should be a Common or Rare, so it's easy to craft.
I'm actually pretty steamed about this. My main deck recently has been Rainbow Death Knight, and I've been watching Kibler play his version, where Corridor Sleeper is doing some solid work. I have no plans to pre-order, so I'll just be out of luck for several weeks. Feels bad.

A really great 1-drop! Nice call back to the tar minions of the past, and solid stats for cost.

This card is going to be BRUTAL in Brann Warrior. That's 16 damage for 6 mana. Also, as noted elsewhere, this should just say "Corrupt" but whatever.

This is a great 1-drop. Make a dragon-based deck, and this will be a 1 mana 3/2 almost every time, plus it buffs the dragon in hand as well.

Just hit Legend after 66 games and a 76% winrate!

Run double Steamcleaner. Kills the plagues, and sets off your sludge barrels.
