Zero mana dredge cards are crazy strong. Druid got the better one as it can (conditionally) draw but this is very close. Especially Ina Reno/highlander style deck being able to set up your turns in advance will be very strong.
Lack of Mech tag sucks, though. It also doesn't make a lot of sense, since it looks a lot like The Curator.
You are right. Weird this isn't a mech. Has similar bodies to The Curator (who is) and Arcane Golem (who isnt) a mech. I am sure it's something to do with magic vs mechanical construction. However it looks like the same mistake they did with witchwood Grizzly not being a beast. That set wanted more beasts, this set cares about mechs, seems like a miss.
Side note I've never seen a golden Curator before. Looks sick.
While it's fun to imagine getting this guy big in the end game I don't think that's his strength.
This with the coin is just a strong early play. The new 0 mana spell too can help when off coin. This is a strong early body to stick around for buffs or to trigger "if you played a naga" spells.
The cards in the core set are kind of like rentals. We get them for the year and then they rotate. So the current cards in there go back to wild next year (if they move at all). So disenchanting your wild cards isn't recommended if you want those cards to stick around imo. So the cards you have in wild, will also appear as a core version, so you kinda have 2 sets of them. One for standard (the rental core ones) and the ones in wild (classic kinda does this too since those are unerfed versions). That may not be exactly how it works but hopefully you understand what I'm saying.
The refunds we used to get were for Hall of Famed cards. Cards that went to wild before they were supposed to if at all. That was before all this core rotation stuff came to be so I don't expect any refunds this time. Unless they nerf something then you can get full disenchant value.
As for disenchant tricks, I'm the wrong person to answer that. I keep everything! I'm crazy I know. I am sure someone else can answer that better. From my perspective, do you play wild at all? Just kinda keep what you think you'll want to use in the future. Otherwise if you are standard only wild cards my have a higher value as dust for you.
Loatheb is great! Can't wait to get that, when the achievement works.
Drek'thar, sure it's cost is high but you can get it with coin and it's not like we didn't already get free copies of him. I don't see the issue here as it's really just a cosmetic upgrade from the golden one. If it wasn't so close to an expansion drop I might of spent the coins on this. It does look cool.
Level 212: Might get a bit more but seems like a good stopping point for progression. Got about 18 legendaries (with pass and spending gold on miniset). About the same as stormwind, a few more levels I believe. Not bad. Looking forward to the core set change and of course the new set. Think we got one more Colossal to see, love these big boys! Can't wait for Tuesday.
Dragons: Cathedral Gargoyle not a dragon but not a card that got to shine. If they do push dragons I'd love to see this come back. Hungry Dragon is a good big stats, negative effect dragon though I'd prefer Hoarding Dragon for the deathrattle synergies maybe. What would be real fun, a revamped Nefarian. His sister has like 3 reprints, that's so not fair!
Other: Living Dragonbreath or even a Wee Spellstopper version were it only effects adjacent minions.Neptulon or a redo would be fitting with this first expansion as well. Murlocs and the waterlord, what else do shaman need!
Wizbang: I hate that this is a card. It should just be a hero option always. This and Zayle, Shadow Cloak are fun ideas but not as cards. They kinda just feel like a waste in a legendary slot.
This looks great. I know post rotation doesn't look good yet but with mage also being pushed to our mechanized overlords I can see core set getting a good sprinkling of mechs both neutral and class focused. Even just drawing 2 will still make this a good draw spell.
Just remember to dredge after this card as it does shuffle your deck around.
Okay that is probably my favorite reveal so far. That kid is funny.
Card itself seems interesting. Bit slow but the body is a decent threat. Might give decks that lack aoe a good tool but without a Vanndar like discount not sure it's good enough.
Very nice card, probably going in every druid deck. 0 mana draw is crazy good especially in an aggressive deck where a lot of your cards will be low cost.
Murlocs or mechs may actually like this guy depending how big their standard pool gets. Heck may even be good to discover extra colossals if the pool is small enough. Seems fun to mess around with. To bad Ey'sor rotates or their could of been some fun with totem shaman!
I like the idea. I either want a way to trigger that eot effect multiple timed or somehow make the behemoth immune/shielded for that hit. Otherwise rag is better if it hits a minion as it doesn't get hurt. Healing can be real hit or miss.
I do appreciate that it poisons your respool with the lure though or else it could get annoying in a resurrection focused deck.
Interesting. Not sure what I'm doing with it much like the wailing caverns adventurers call or whatever. However it is holy so it's discountable and discoverable. That is a lot of taunt. With enough discounts this could come down early enough to matter but that's if decks don't just go over the top with their questline rewards.

Dragon priest! One of my favorite cards. Can't wait to copy my opponents Kazakusan treasures for some fun surprise lethals.
Very cool and flavorful. I'm sad that the heads won't have rush if I Wing Commander Ickman them but that would be too much. Still a strong card.
This was my favorite as well.
Alot of good ones overall but who wouldn't build a mecha-shark!

Mechs: Shielded Minibot just a good paladin mech. Piloted Reaper can fit in deathrattle decks as well. Weaponized Piñata, just silly and one of my favorite cards.

The weapon having the same name and getting the +2 buff is nuts. This guy is cheap too compared to the other Colossal.
Rogue is typically faster than this though. Not sure where this guy would fit but looks strong if it gets a home.
Seems interesting. Not sure how much play it will get while Raid the Docks exists, that's still a better finisher.
Still math says Mr. Smite is reliable might make this still an inclusion. We'll see if that holds post rotation with the core changes too.

Good card. Also adorable art. Win win.
Can't wait tonsee the highlights of some crazy swaps with this card.
Looks like a solid card to make mechmage in standard.
In wild this will probably get turned into an otk on day 1. Can't wait.
