Definitely seems like a contender for N'zoth style decks but the front half is the one you want back. The taunt side isn't aweful but still clutters the rez pool a bit.
What beast are you playing that you would rather see resurrected than a 6/7 taunt? Usually I'm already content to get Circus Amalgam back.
I know the guardian is going out soon. Like I said a 6/7 taunt isn't bad but I tend to prefer rush for immediate action or reborn for sticking around if I can get it.
There really is no complete list yet. Blizzard has held back, though they said look for more reveals post Blizzcon.
I know some of the revealed cards are Shadowform for Priest. Along with A buffed Earth Elemental, Lightning Storm and Feral Spirit for Shaman. Most of those getting a -1 to their overload which they showed off at Blizzcon.
It's going to be a big reveal season with both Core and the Barrens set overlapping.
I out him in a commencement paladin. Always tried to make this work but never took off for me. The new Vol'jin makes quite a difference. The minions in your hand feel much less stranded. Shocking your opponent by turning a silver had recruit into a Gruul or some big dragon is real fun!
I don't see it being a meta breaker but who knows, time will tell. For now it's just exciting to have a new toy.
Fun card. I've been running it in a big Paladin. Bouncing recruits to land a 10drop is fun. Won me a game or two from bouncing an enemy taunt too. Real fun to play with.
Love these preview legendaries. Always entertaining to play around with during reveal seasons.
I think this is a very strong card. A lot of shaman spells should end up being nature and +3 spell damage so cheap is strong. Be a nice finisher in an aggressive shaman. Or a combo piece for an otk. With spells being retroactively I'm sure he'll be a powerful tool in wild too.
I like both these characters. I might not pick one up though as I just bought the New Year stuff (can't say no to Lu Bu).
If I do get one it'll probably be The Thunder King. I liked that character and raid a lot. Plus I got Rexar as my lvl 50 skin so I want to fill out my other characters.
Really seems like more of a Warrior or Paladin legendary doesn't it?
Warrior can combo with Inner Rage for a quick Hellfire, Paladin can just buff it and run it into something for variable amounts of damage (Blessing of Might meta pog)
Should at least appear in Libram Pally (since Pure is going away anyways unless they print more support)
Rogue with Nitroboost
Paladin Blessing/Libram
Warrior Inner rage
Any handbuff.
A lot of classes can buff his attack up real easy. He's basically a swipe/hellfire for 2 cards in most classes if he lives. I'm certain he'll see play probably in aggressive and midrange decks that have those early attack buffs to compete in mirior matches.
I can't wait until you shuffle Olga in and then Tickatus burns it. It will be just like classic WoW and have people asking "where is mankirk's wife?"
Meme aside I think it can be strong in Rogue/Warlock were you can pull out the shuffled card early. A fast 3/10 can be annoying to remove and the threat of buffs can make it a very deadly card. Most other classes I think it's too slow.
Seems interesting. Giving health hasn't been that strong in hearthstone. However with spell generation that priest or paladin have it could have some big turns.
Even if it's not powerful I love cards caring about other card types. These spell changes are a great addition to the game. Can't wait to see where they go.
Real nice card. Strong, with 2 bodies and a beast tag. Could definitely see play. Is it strong enough though? Druid has had lot of powerful things to ramp into. Definitely seems like a contender for N'zoth style decks but the front half is the one you want back. The taunt side isn't aweful but still clutters the rez pool a bit.
Definitely feels like it belongs in a no minion or big demon deck. Something to play early while not cluttering your deck with small guys. Okay reload tool as well for zoo but probably too slow.
I do love the rank up style of spells overall though. Nice simple way to keep them relevant but this one doesn't go far enough with it's improvements. So probably only played in niche deck building restriction decks.
What a great card effect. Burgle always had the downside of possibly getting something unusable when they stole from an opponent. This makes the enemy have to rethink the order they play stuff in just to not get killed by their own fireball or charge minion the next turn.
Such an interesting card who's skillful use can swing games. fantastic design.
It's a decent handbuff card. Seems like it wants to be buffed itself too. Hardest part with handbuff stuff is keeping your hand full while playing buffed up minions.
I'd love to see handbuff pushed again this year. I enjoyed the Goons of Gadgetzan a lot and Hireek needs some love too.
In wild it won't see play, because Shadow Visions is better in almost every way, shape and form.
Actually it could with Highlander/Reno decks. This effect is one you would want multiple of in a deck. So having both Visions and Thrive in the deck to make sure you can pull your removals when needed actually makes this a strong inclusion in a Reno deck despite being effective weaker.
Sometimes reprinting a card, even a weaker version, can still find a use.
Very cool redesigns. Really enjoy them keeping true to the old effects. Malygos is the one that changed the most from it's original form but I think it really keeps true to the original "I favor spells/combo" design.
Great start for the core set. This is gonna be a big reveal season between Core and Barrens expansion. Can't wait to get to play with the new stuff. I guess Shadow Hunter Vol'jin will amuse me until then!
p.s. Blizz keep printing more Deathwings! I want an entire deck of nothing but Deathwings. Thanks.
Track really feels good. I usually end an expansion at 2k gold. I'm over 3k and bought the mini-set with gold. So I have more gold than before, I have at least 1 new skin (lvl50), and have more legendaries than normal thanks to the mini-set. I didn't change my play or hunt achievements. Definitely enjoying it. Depending on the skins next set I may buy the pass.

Fireball Tirion Fordring, Assassinate, Annoy-o-Tron Tomb Pillager and Menagerie Warden Also all confirmed at blizzcon with the Warden getting a -1 Mana and -1/1 stats change.

The frenzy here just looks like a fun upside. But the card itself is just good. Hunter can always use a tough early beast very effectively.
Nice simple spell. Priest can usually generate a lot of spells and this one is just a free reroll usually with things like Lyra.

Solid card at every rank, nice 2 for 1 usually and position matters gameplay. Great card all around.

Fun flavorful card. Probably best in arena were generating cards outside your deck is stronger.
Still we'll see what spells end up in standard. Could prove useful in warrior or with the Augmerchants.
Mostly just a fun call back. Zugzug!
