Spell-only Druid! The hype is real! I played a lot of Spell Hunter back during Kobolds (the true spell hunter, not the Barnes/Y'Shaarj version). It wasn't the strongest, but it was very fun!
Very very good. I can see why they're rotating Spellbreaker, because everyone will want to be silencing the non-Prime minions to avoid facing the Primes later.

Along with Kayn Sunfury, this give DH another way to get around taunts. Seems pretty good. Who cares if you reduce your health to 1 while getting lethal.
DH looks like it wants lots of tempo, and this is big tempo loss. Amazing topdeck in the late game when you're closing in on lethal, but you'd hate this in your opening hand, especially when you want to be using your HP for attack synergy.
If all this does is help you to grab more epics, it's totally worth it. And for those players who don't buy too many packs, it will help them out a lot, I imagine.
People comparing this to Spellbreaker: Spellbreaker does not charge, and it only hits one target. Kayn brings all his friends right to the face regardless of how many taunts there are. No, he can't get rid of powerful deathrattles, but you would probably only play him when it means lethal anyway.
Since all we can do right now is guess, I can see this being OP. The guaranteed 3 face damage is of minimal importance compared to what you can do if you've built a board. And DH looks like a class that can deal a lot of face damage early.
I'm really hoping you can still get Battlegrounds perks by buying packs. I was going to buy a ton of packs ANYWAY, and I hardly play arena, so this is a terrible deal for me. I think it's a great option for those who play BG and Arena more than constructed. Just not for me.
TBH, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around adding a class. I've been playing since almost the very start, and I'm so USED to how things are. First off, they'll have to rearrange the nice 3x3 grid for selecting classes/decks (I know, not a big deal really). But more importantly, how does a brand new class catch up to all the class identity (and card library) of the other 9? Someone posted somewhere the idea that DH would suffer in wild due to lack of cards, but what about in standard? DH will be way behind the other classes there too unless Blizzard prints a ton of extra cards. And whatever cards become DH's "basic" set will have to be unlockable through gameplay or for free, like the other classes.
I'm excited for things to get shaken up, but also a bit nervous. Looking forward to answers today!
Wow, finally a livestream event I can actually watch! (I'm a teacher, and they just cancelled school for the next 2 weeks -- I'll be playing a LOT of Hearthstone this month!)

Might be one of the best turn 7 plays ever. Great for tempo and board control.

DH won't be running low on resources, that's for sure.
This guy right here
Yeah, it's okay without Outcast, but with Outcast, this is insane!
Looks REAL good. Even without the awaken effect, potentially fielding a 10/6 on turn 7 and still having all your mana can make for a big swing turn.

He's very similar to Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, and he saw plenty of play. This should be good. I like that DH is getting multiple archetypes.

I'll be very curious to see how this guy plays.

THANK GOD! So sick of evolving into The Darkness!
Ok, kidding, but this is a good change. Also appreciate them differentiating between this and new Dormant minions.
How is this a 1-card OTK? You need a combination of things for it to work. I think it's a cool deck that could be fun, but the title is misleading.
Anyone else think Dave Kosak missed his true calling? I'd watch that guy in comedy films all day.
