    This card is clearly intended to be used with Timewinder Zarimi, as you can build a decent board, then take your extra turn, buff everything, and smash the face.

    Really nice card here, and very effective support for the new Raza Priest. I love it and hate it at the same time.

    This is a really interesting card, and I'm sure people who own Pip the Potent will love it, as your deck is going to contain lots of 1-drops, and some of those may become powerful Legendaries with this card, as long as you don't mind the stats. Things like Titans will still be pretty good as 1 mana 1/1s.

    Ok, so this is like Psychic Scream, but instead of all the minions being shuffled in separately, they're all in the box, and your opponent gets them all at once. It's better for games where fatigue matters, as this will only delay your opponent's fatigue by one turn. It's worse if your opponent is able to put together any kind of combo with those minions.

    I'm personally quite pumped to play some Dragon Priest! This card is just awesome, and there are a bunch of others that support the archetype.

    This is a great card, but it's laughable that they release a strong card like this, recognize how strong it is, and limit it to once per game, meanwhile Raza the Resealed. Ok guys.

    Really strong draw mechanic, and great synergy with Fly Off the Shelves.

    This looks like a sweet AOE option that will more often than not clear the board. Price is right, too!

    Giving this 5 stars simply because of its combo power with Raza the Resealed. Going to be tons of fun!

    This is just disgusting. Did they learn nothing from previous iterations of this? Thankfully, without Darkbishop Benedictus, this is less likely to be quite as toxic, but you can still use Reno, Lone Ranger for probably infinite damage. Also, Heartbreaker Hedanis!

    Enables Everything Must Go! on a whole new level, plus it's just a ton of potential draw and lots of Pirates attacking immediately. Quite good!

    This looks like an amazing board control option. Synergizes with other Pirate-based cards like Shoplifter Goldbeard, and could even become a 4/4 through The Crystal Cove. Nice!

    Solid draw plus coin generation. I see no downsides here, nor any broken possibilities. Will likely not run well in a Wishing Well deck due to the pirate restriction.

    The fact that this costs is a clear indication of how broken discounts like this can be. Not only are you overpaying for a 4/3, but that steep cost means you can't abuse this too early in the game. The card itself looks really powerful and probably well-balanced, but then the mini version comes along. 1 mana for a 3 mana discount, plus possible combo with Sonya Waterdancer. Yikes.

    Decent weapon overall, and some good synergy with of the other pirate cards. This works well with The Crystal Cove and Shoplifter Goldbeard, as the 1/1 you summon could be a 4/4, then you'd get another 4/4.

    This card looks very strong, and I'm sure will enable all kinds of powerful combos. The flavor makes no sense to me, though. Why would a shoplifter summon attack dudes?

    This looks like a great card! Works well with Mini-versions of Miniaturize cards, as well as Rogue's many 1 cost spells and minions. Breakdance anyone?

    Quote From FortyDust

    The Crystal Cove makes me wonder how much drama could be avoided if they designed more Locations instead of "rest of the game" effects.

    I agree! Almost every "rest of the game" effect we've seen has become problematic at some point. The Crystal Cove looks pretty weak to me, but Locations in general give you a nice ability to set something up across multiple turns. Even things like "Your next spell this turn" or "Your next Battlecry" are good because they have a limit and are therefore harder to abuse.

    I should probably wait to review this card until we've seen what new draw cards Rogue will get, but right now it looks uninspiring. Even at half cost, summoning 2 random 4-drops seems mid. If you can discount it down to 0 or 1, it could be pretty nice.

    Decent support for Burgle Rogue, I like it. Discover is way better than "generate random," and you get an extra copy without having to jump through any hoops, like Finale or Infuse.
