This card is stronger than it looks, yet won't see any play outside of Arena. The effect is very aggressive, but the mana cost is too expensive for aggro decks.

Might not look very strong at first sight, but rogues have plenty of ways to get max value out of this card. And oftentimes, 2 damage will probably be enough already. If not in constructed, then certainly in Arena this will see tons of play.

This card already found its way into the meta. I have very little doubt it won't continue to do so after rotation. Combo potential and [card]Dirty Rat[/card] in one.

Rank 1 is quite decent already. I can see this getting quite some play, especially in a deck centered around [card]Bru'kan[/card].

I'm more impressed by her sister. This is certainly a good card, but I wonder how often you want to pay 3 extra mana to get some extra value out of your Shadow spells. I've got a feeling it's less often than most people seem to think.

Already a good card without its synergy with Holy spells. I have no doubt this will see tons of play.

1 mana deal 9 damage. The potential of this card is thru the roof. However, every opponent knows that even the smallest minions can be a threat when you're playing paladin, so it's far from guaranteed that you'll have 3 minions on your side of the board when your turn starts. Maybe this can be a finisher in dude paladin. …

Sure, it's a 1 mana 1/3, so it can't be bad. But unless a tempo/aggro Warrior pops up you'll mostly encounter this card in Arena.

This card is completely bonkers. My prediction is that heal effects will be added to decks primarily to be combined with [card]Xyrella[/card].

Looks too clumsy to me. 5 mana is a lot and then you need to do something extra to trigger its effect. Clearly not impossible, but you would rather be doing something else. This isn't very good in Arena either as this is a win-more card, while generally, comeback cards are a lot better these days.

Will see play in Arena as a vanilla statted minion, but I doubt a Taunt Druid will live on after the experimentation phase. Maybe, this makes sense in some [card]Hadronox[/card] lists in Wild.

It looks like Blizzard is brewing up a Taunt package for druids, but I don't think it's going to make a big splash and this card is way too slow and unreliable to help it succeed.

On board OTKs love this card. Just play this a turn earlier and you're good to go.

This looks scary. The burst potential is enormous if this goes uncontested. Wouldn't be surprised if the nerf hammer strikes this one eventually.

Maybe not immediately in April, but eventually this will become totally busted with [card]Kingsbane[/card]. Luckily, we have [card]Kobold Stickyfinger[/card] as a counter these days.

Not sure why the [card]Risky Skipper[/card] comparisons. This guy doesn't kill your own board -- that's all the difference in the world.

Murlocs ... are going to be a problem. At least Flurgl is a legendary. As long as there's no way to tutor him, their ability to clear boards will be somewhat inconsistent.

Druids have plenty of options when it comes to taunt minions, but this might still be too slow or too specific. I would want at least 6 taunts in my deck to feel comfortable putting this in there too.

This makes me think of [card]Jepetto Joybuzz[/card]. Bit more tempo, bit less of combo enabler, but I expect it to see similar amounts of play.

I'd be reasonably happy to pick this in Arena every now and then. That's about it.

Even if secrets are prevalent, I'm not sure this will work out. It has vanilla stats though, so that's a plus at least.
