    We saw this one early on, and it's a very safe, boring example of Spellburst to match that. Decent pick up in Arena but never something you'd include in a constructed deck, since the effect is just too unreliable and niche. Not even classes desperate for an AoE would want to waste a slot on this.

    This is insanely good. If Druid is at all good this expansion, this card will be the first to be looked at for a nerf. It just does so much with so little risk.

    This feels breakable, but probably not in Standard. I look forward to seeing someone pull off a ridiculous combo in a video and then spending way too long trying to replicate it.

    Love it! I've been a big advocate for Priest getting Vanilla or French Vanilla minions that just have really high Health to Attack ratios, and this fits that bill nicely.

    Love a good tricky AoE. I am, I must admit, one of those horrible people who actually likes mathematics puzzles, and while this is a tiny little baby one, against a full board I know I'm going to like puzzling out where the best spot to throw this is.

    My (other) favourite card of the set. The health change mechanic is so inspired and I don't care if it ends up being garbage, it's my garbage.

    Favourite card of the set! I love the mechanic on this so so much.

    This is the exact kind of card I'm always like "TWO Cards?! Sign me up!" and then the deck sucks so bad. At least Arena I can mess with it in.

    Love going all in on a theme, so this will be great for a Deathrattle build that wants to go all out. In general, probably not the best card for the deck if you're optimising, but maybe it finds a place as a 1-of.

    Combo, COMBO, COMBO! I mean, I'm not going to be coming up with it myself, but I eagerly await whatever silly tricks this card can pull. Whatever they are, I'm sure Wild has more broken things, so hopefully Standard has the tools it needs.

    It's weird that this is probably the weakest of the Soul Fragment pay-offs, because on paper it looks insanely strong. I just don't know that they really need something like this.

    Genuinely can't decide if I love or hate this design. I think I've come around to loving it again. It's so weird and out there and I'm not sure still about how strong a lot of the effects are... but god I love that they're still innovating like this.

    This is actually not bad in Arena - Cursed Disciple found play there and this is very similar. Always love to see a new Rager.

    I think Corridor Creeper gets a pass from me because it was revealed in the final dump of cards - it was for sure widely panned, but I want to be generous and say that perhaps people weren't completely understanding how it would work.

    I remembering being way wrong on both CC and To My Side!, but TMS always felt more insane because No Minion Hunter was not a thing at all before that expansion really, and the picture the cards painted of the deck just didn't feel good. How wrong we were!

    Can't wait for the Kel'thuzad > Coin > Concede plays we're going to see! I love this effect, it's so flavourful and feels like the perfect card for KT.

    Solid synergies available to it in Hunter, along with the Beast tag, probably push this into being a better Nerubian Egg rather than the worse version looking at the stats alone would make you think it is.

    This is certainly a Common card. I like messing around with different statlines as much as the next guy - moreso, probably, given how much I love Frazzled Freshman - but this is just so painfully mediocre for a class that kind of needs help right now.

    The art on this card gives me a headache, I can't tell what's clothes and what's skin. Like, I think she's wearing trousers, because if she isn't then she is showing way too much, but it's practically the same colour as her skin!

    Anyway, the card itself is neat - I've had a soft spot for Stealth Rogue ever since Shadow Sensei, so more support is always welcome.

    I love the art on the Ghost of this card - notice that she's had her arm bitten off and is carrying both it and her loot away! Great reference to Toothy Chest too.

    Love this, but I know a lot of people will probably hate it. My one gripe is that it is another card which explicitly counters itself, so mirror matches become a game of chicken.
