New Druid Spell - Living Seed (Rank 1)

This card is weird for a couple of reasons. First, I don't think you'd want to run this until [card]Guardian Animals[/card] rotates out as that is a more consistently powerful way to cheat out beasts. Second, I don't know if …

New Neutral Minion - Sunwell Initiate

The main issue with [card]Sunwell Initiate[/card] is that an initial one mana discount on [card]Silvermoon Guardian[/card] is worth triggering the frenzy effect. Also, I just don't see how this synergizes with any class except Paladin, and they already have [card]Goody …

New Neutral Minion - Barrens Trapper

There's some meme potential with this in a [card]Celestial Alignment[/card] deck to cheat out a bunch of big deathrattle minions, but other than that the effect is too delayed and insignificant in the context of what deathrattle decks want to …

New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice

This has way better stats for the cost than [card]Twilight Flamecaller[/card] and can scale in effect. This can trigger [card]Mordresh Fire Eye[/card] by itself. The AoE becomes really powerful if you scale up your HP with [card]Wildfire[/card]. If HP Mage …

New Mage Spell - Wildfire

This is basically two mana to upgrade your HP, which you used to pay six mana for back in the day with [card]Justicar Trueheart[/card] (not counting [card]Baku the Mooneater[/card]). I think this enables [card]Mordresh Fire Eye[/card] easily and can turn …

New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye

With [card]Wildfire[/card] and [card]Reckless Apprentice[/card], I think this condition isn't going to be hard to accomplish. There might be a deck that runs 2 copies of both [card]Conjure Mana Biscuit[/card] and [card]Potion of Illusion[/card] to get 2 Mordeshs to play …

New Rogue Minion - Efficient Octo-bot

Aggressive Rogues already have enough mana cheat that they often don't have a hand size to warrant activating this for discounts. The only way I see [card]Efficient Octo-bot[/card] being played is in an OTK Rogue where this acts like a …

New Priest Minion - Void Flayer

While Priest may be good at generating cards, they aren't as good at keeping a hand. At least [card]Palm Reading[/card] isn't a dead card when your hand size is low. also, I think Priest has a good amount of efficient …

New Neutral Minion - Injured Marauder

This is a monster of a card to cheat out or resurrect, but those effects aren't available for [card]Injured Marauder[/card] this expansion. No deck wants to pay four mana for only a 5/4 taunt, but if the mentioned tools arrive …

New Neutral Minion - Hecklefang Hyena

A slightly better deal than [card]Ornery Tortoise[/card], but that isn't saying much. One extra health is nowhere near worth taking three damage.

New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame

This is basically a guaranteed [card]Doomsayer[/card], but restricted to a 3 damage AoE. That being said, the AoE being guaranteed is pretty powerful as it prevents the opponent from playing much minions for fear that they get removed for "free" …

New Demon Hunter Spell - Fury (Rank 1)

Obviously, I don't think Team 5 would print [card]Twin Slice[/card] 2.0 here, but I think Soul DH and Aggro DH will like the cheap guaranteed attack buff to push damage and enable synergies like [card]Bladed Lady[/card].

New Demon Hunter Minion - Kurtrus Ashfallen

This is basically a more conditional [card]Illidari Felblade[/card] with some slight additional upside. Considering how Felblade saw no competitive play once DH became refined, I don't think [card]Kurtrus Ashfallen[/card] has much of a chance for competitive play.

New Neutral Minion - Death's Head Cultist

This gives you the same healing as [card]Rotten Applebaum[/card] but on a cheaper body that's easier to fit into a turn and has more efficient stats. Warlock loves the cheap healing and defensive nature of [card]Death's Head Cultist[/card], and I …

New Mage Minion - Arcane Luminary

A more balanced version of [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card], which probably means this won't see much play. [card]Arcane Luminary[/card] has the issue of only discounting spells you generate rather than all of your spells, making it harder to consistently take advantage of …

New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post

This is the only watch post whose effect isn't standalone, which probably makes it the worst watch post. The effect is board-centric and even somewhat aggressive, but no aggressive deck wants to run a minion that can't attack and no …

New Neutral Minion - Venomous Scorpid

This is basically a mix between [card]Vulpera Scoundrel[/card] and [card]Primordial Explorer[/card]. [card]Venomous Scorpid[/card] helps generate value and can trade into any minion, unlike Scoundrel. This almost demands the opponent to have in-hand removal to remove it, which means your Scorpid …

New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper

There is an interesting prospect with this in aggro decks that mostly contain 1-3 cost cards and cap out with [card]Kazakus, Golem Shaper[/card]. There are some devastating tempo combinations at five mana, especially Gromsblood. This still fits into slower decks …

New Rogue Minion - Field Contact

This is almost like a [card]Gadgetzan Auctioneer[/card] for half the cost. The thing is, Rogue Is paying less than three mana for their card draw right now with [card]Secret Passage[/card]; [card]Cutting Class[/card]; and [card]Swindle[/card], though I could totally see [card]Field …

New Warrior Spell - Rancor

[card]Consecration[/card] proves that a four-mana two-damage AoE is relevant, and this has scalable armor gain on top of the AoE. [card]Rancor[/card] can just be a card that just shuts out aggressive decks, which means it will probably see a lot …
