New Paladin & Priest Spell - Gift of Luminance

Is this the card that finally pushes a more aggressive Priest into the spotlight, using their early game 'end of turn' buffers as the targets? Probably not, but I'll certainly mess around with it.

New Druid/Shaman Spell - Lightning Bloom

Is there anything to add that hasn't been said already? This is an auto-include for any combo deck, and well worth considering for other decks as well. I'd run it over [card]Innervate[/card] in a heartbeat.

What'll be interesting is …

New Warlock Spell - School Spirits

This will be run in every Fragment based deck, and will likely find its way into other lists if the meta is sufficiently aggressive. Can't beat a bit of extra healing to go with your board clear.

New Warrior Minion - Playmaker

Play rather than summon is a little disappointing, just because I'd have liked to see the silly shenanigans with [card]Restless Mummy[/card]. Still a good card with that combo, but not quite as fun as it could have been.

New Warrior Minion - Troublemaker

Feels very good should some sort of Big or Control Warrior make a rise. Unfortunately, I don't know if it quite makes it into the more aggressive lists we see right now - it has such a high mana cost …

New Warlock Minion - Boneweb Egg

This is cute - the discard protection is a nice bonus to the card, but I like that the base card isn't useless if you just want to play it out in a traditional swarming deck. Warlock is always looking …

New Warlock Minion - Shadowlight Scholar

Powerful for sure, but I'm still not sure what the best version of a [card]Soul Fragment[/card] deck will be. I know that using them for straight healing seems really strong, which would be antithetical to the play pattern of this …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Vilefiend Trainer

I agree with everyone who's already posted - this is a solid, strong minion, will be a great Arena card, but it's just not good enough to see play in current Demon Hunter lists. What it does is good, but …

New Warlock Minion - Archwitch Willow

Don't know that there's enough big Demons in Standard to make her worth running, but I'm excited to try out some decks with her in Wild, even if they end up just being memes. The idea of summoning two huge …

New Neutral Minion - Vectus

The stats are very fair without the Deathrattles, but man could you accrue some value with the right deckbuilding. Seems very worth trying in Deathratt;e Hunter and Rogue. I can't think of an immediate OTK combo with it, but it's …

New Mage/Rogue Minion - Wand Thief

An incredibly solid little play - a mediocre body, sure, but the effect is one that both Mage and Rogue will be overjoyed to have. Mage loves when it can generate more spells, and Rogues will love having access to …

New Shaman/Mage Spell - Devolving Missiles

This can't stay at 1 mana for long, right? It's a ridiculously good effect.

The only slight downside is that on a board with more than one minion, you might miss hitting the one you really want. Given that you'll …

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Warrior/Paladin Dual Class Cards

Woops! Can't believe I missed that when checking the reviews. I've got to assume I saw it and immediately thought Boomsday, because it just gives off that vibe.

Now I'm going to have to try and pull off the …

New Warrior Weapon - Reaper Scythe

I do love to see more Cleave effects. I think the ability is strong enough for this to definitely see play, though it's certainly a bit clunky - it's a bit of a double-edged sword to set this up on …

New Paladin & Warrior Spell - Shield of Honor

I think this improves the viability of any higher health minion in both Paladin and Warrior aggressive decks. I'm especially interested to see if any existing lists shuffle some minions around to make room for ones which can better take …

New Neutral Minion - Intrepid Initiate

I really like this as an early option for some decks - I think it's cool that you really need to be running a decent amount of low-cost spells to actually turn it into a powerhouse.

Also he's kinda …

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Priest/Warlock Dual Class Cards

Thank you! I'm glad I've got the other members of the team to help me out - I don't envy the content creators who try and review every card by themselves.

The most effort I've got to put in (beyond …

Runic Carvings is a New Druid & Shaman Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

We've updated with a better translation - we believe that it summons "Treant Totems" (so Totems that count as Treants), and you can Choose to Overload: (2) and give them Rush.

Still awaiting official translation, but we think this is …

Transfer Student's Effect Changes Based on the Game Board - Here Are All the Effects!

This card is so weirdly strong. I can't decide if I like it or not.

It's too inconsistent to ever take advantage of any one strong effect, but since the majority of the effects are strong ones I can see …

Is the Next Hearthstone Expansion Scholomance Academy? Several Leaks Point to the School of Necromancy

Do you remember where you think they said that? I have no memory of an announcement like that, and that would be pretty big news.
