New Paladin Weapon - Sword of the Fallen

This can help Secret Paladin thin out their deck quite efficiently as this works to draw and play three cards for 2 mana. Granted, this occurs over three turns, but it at least makes sure you have the chance to …

New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade

I think this has a serious chance to be a win condition for a Control Warlock. The class has an easier time than most other control decks reaching fatigue thanks to [card]Life Tap[/card]. Once they hit fatigue and play [card]Neeru …

YiLingShu Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Legendary Warlock Card - Neeru Fireblade

This is one of the craziest effects I've seen in Hearthstone! Regardless of its competitive viability, I think it's a fun card and really want to try it out!

New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank

When you consider that all the weapon-buffing cards Weapon Rogue runs currently are poisons, there is a case to be made for [card]Swinetusk Shank[/card] and if it can provide more consistent damage output than [card]Self-Sharpening Sword[/card]. Considering [card]Deadly Poison[/card], [card]Nitroboost …

New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative

This will be the only secret tech option in standard that punishes multiple secrets, which has been often desired from such a tech. However, [card]Horde Operative[/card] doesn't remove the enemy secrets, but rather gets you more tempo to potentially swing …

New Hunter Spell - Tame Beast (Rank 1)

On its own, [card]Tame Beast (Rank 1)[/card] looks somewhat mediocre, but I don't think it will take a lot extra to support this. [card]Tavish Stormpike[/card] seems crazy with this on turn five to summon a three cost beast from your …

New Hunter Minion - Tavish Stormpike

This is pretty scary on turn five with [card]Tame Beast (Rank 1)[/card] cheating out a [card]Zixor, Apex Predator[/card] into a two-cost beast. The main challenge with [card]Tavish Stormpike[/card] is going to be constructing the deck and figuring out what beasts …

New Warrior Minion - Warsong Envoy

This is basically a [card]Warbot[/card] with additional upside, which can be useful for Tempo Warriors that utilize self damage/frenzy. [card]Warsong Envoy[/card] also curves really well into [card]Cruel Taskmaster[/card]. My only question is if this archetype can work and keep up …

New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter

Dang, with [card]Foxy Fraud[/card] or [card]The Coin[/card], you can cheat out two three-drops on turn four alongside a 3/3. The high roll potential is kind of insane, which means it probably sees play because that's been the history of Rogue. …

New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Silence

I have two issues with this. First, silence is best as a reactive tool. The proactive nature of [card]Sigil of Silence[/card] makes it so that your opponent doesn't have to play into the silence, the minions on board you want …

New Shaman Spell - Chain Lightning (Rank 1)

Combined with [card]Bru'kan[/card], this can provide efficient removal for a slower Shaman. [card]Chain Lightning (Rank 1)[/card] is also pretty decent as a standalone card acting as a [card]Cleave[/card] with late game upside, as well as how Shaman has other sources …

New Shaman Minion - Bru'kan

[card]Bru'kan[/card] has some nifty spells to take advantage of, from [card]Lightning Storm[/card], to [card]Tidal Surge[/card], to the new [card]Chain Lightning (Rank 1)[/card]. It helps that the cards that support [card]Bru'kan[/card] are already playable standalone, and this nature spell damage just …

New Priest Minion - Priest of An'she

I question how consistently you can get the effect on curve, which is when the extra stats are more impactful. [card]Void Drinker[/card] has one less attack, but can be more easily played on curve as it doesn't demand a same …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Death Speaker Blackthorn

Obviously, cheating mana is something not to be taken lightly in Hearthstone; however, my issues with [card]Death Speaker Blackthorn[/card] are more of a contextual one for DH. First, DHs draw through their deck very efficiently, and that has anti-synergy with …

New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)

This will definitely help Secret and SHR Paladin follow up their boards with crazy efficient damage in the mid-to-late game. The pressure of one mana deal six or nine damage while also having mana left to continue developing board or …

New Priest Minion - Xyrella

Priest is always looking for board clears and they have access to plenty of efficient healing effects. I don't know why any Control Priests wouldn't want to run [card]Xyrella[/card]. Heck, just a [card]Renew[/card] plus HP and you have a [card]Flamestrike[/card] …

New Warrior Minion - Rokara

This is kind of crazy with [card]Warmaul Challenger[/card], but this looks underwhelming in every other use case. Both the body and the effect look underwhelming for the cost. [card]Rokara[/card] herself is rarely going to trade into anything and survive, and …

New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar

The watch posts seem more efficient as tech cards rather than standalone minions, so it seems weird to build your deck around these tech cards for this one payoff (that we know of so far). On top of this, [card]Kargal …

New Druid Minion - Plaguemaw the Rotting

My issue with [card]Plaguemaw the Rotting[/card] is that it doesn't have an ideal use case for most matchups. Against aggressive decks, Plaguemaw doesn't provide extra defense, but only board presence and taunt effect value that really aggressive decks like Weapon …

New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend

While [card]Soul Rend[/card] is a great anti-aggro tool, I'm not sure Warlocks will be happy about losing cards that are either: win conditions against slower decks or more removal tools they need for aggressive matchups. I get that [card]Blood Shard …
