471 totalHistorically, Token Druid is the Druid archetype that cares about buffing its minions, and with cheap nature spells like [card]Innervate[/card], [card]Lightning Bloom[/card], and maybe [card]Nature Studies[/card](?), [card]Guff Runetotem[/card] can be a great way to follow up a token board in …
I don't know if [card]Paralytic Poison[/card] sees play in Weapon or [card]Kingsbane[/card] Rogue (in Wild) as we know them today. Both decks have been hyper-tuned to pump out as much face damage and want to swing face with their weapon. …
Considering how this is almost like a better [card]Flanking Strike[/card] for Paladin and that all of the Libram spells will be of the Holy school, I don't know how [card]Cariel Roame[/card] doesn't see play in the already efficient Libram Paladin.
This doesn't feel impactful enough for its mana cost. Sure, SHR and Secret Paladins need ways to follow up their wide boards, but I don't think they will be willing to bend so far backwards for a four mana [card]Mark …
I see this as sort of a replacement for [card]Ray of Frost[/card], but cheaper at the cost of being able to choose what to freeze. That being said, [card]Ray of Frost[/card] is a pretty favorable comparison considering how prevalent the …
A four mana [card]Frost Nova[/card] with a body and synergizes with [card]Flurry (Rank 1)[/card] for a cheap former [card]Flamestrike[/card] level of removal. Needless to say, the AoE freeze is a proven effect in Mage, so I definitely see this being …
This is essentially a [card]Violet Teacher[/card] but for half the cost and the tokens have rush. While Hunter doesn't have the wide board buffing potential to take advantage multiple tokens, the class does have beast synergies that work well with …
This is just a better [card]Khartut Defender[/card] for Priest. Granted, there won't be any resurrect synergy, which was the main way Khartut saw play in Priest. This makes me curious if [card]Lightshower Elemental[/card] will see play in a more straight …
First application that comes to mind is Druid as they have [card]Survival of the Fittest[/card] and [card]Cenarion Ward[/card] that are central to Druid's gameplan (the former) and survivability (the latter). They also have [card]Overgrowth[/card] and [card]Lightning Bloom[/card] to get this …
I think that [card]No fin Can Stop Us[/card] is a great follow up and pressure tool for Murloc Shaman decks. However, my question is: is there enough efficient murlocs left in the core set with the loss of [card]Murloc Warleader[/card]? …
I think [card]Yoink![/card] has too minor of an effect for it to ever be run straight up in a competitive deck. You get two free basic hero powers, which usually add up to one mana worth of value when compared …
Mor'shan Elite looks like a nice defensive tool for a Control Warrior. It compares favorably with Barricade as, for one more mana, you get two four-health bodies that trade better. This also an on-curve follow up to Sword Eater or …

I realized I missed the news on [card]Stonetusk Boar[/card], so thank you for pointing that out! I also forgot about [card]Captain's Parrot[/card], but I still like [card]Southsea Deckhand[/card] as [card]Bloodsail Flybooter[/card] matters less post [card]Crystal Core[/card] and having multiple chargers …
I don't think a one mana discount on what is effectively a [card]Radiance[/card] effect will warrant running [card]Desperate Prayer[/card] as it is still too low impact on its own. Thst being said, [card]Gadgetzan Auctioneer[/card] is sticking around in the core …
Sadly, [card]Stonetusk Boar[/card] has been banished to the Rush dimension (as well as [card]Bluegill Warrior[/card]). :(
EDIT: I missed the news on both Boar and Bluegill retaining charge and going to Wild. I'll have to find a way to …
[card]Imp Swarm (Rank 1)[/card] looks inefficient in most of its potential uses. Cards that care about stats that see play today are run to be played on curve, and this is just a worse Cult Neophyte on turn two. By …
With the amount of burst being removed from the core set, I could see 3 "inevitable" face damage being highly valued in the post-rotation meta. That being said, [card]Mankrik[/card] doesn't make sense in decks that don't have a lot of …
I imagine seeing [card]Blademaster Samuro[/card] in Libram Paladin as a replacement for lists that run [card]Wild Pyromancer[/card] (which won't be in the core set) and for being a decent board clear on its own with multiple [card]Libram of Wisdom[/card]s. I …
Regis did an initial reveal stream for Rastakhan's Rumble and Kibler did the final reveal stream back when they did two reveal streams per expansion. That was the stream where [card]Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk[/card] was revealed for all I remember of …
