At this moment blizz revealed just 2 neutral tradeable cards, Impatient Shopkeep and Rustrot Viper, and we can supose that every (or almost) class will get one. It's enough to put Auctioneer Jaxon in your deck? No. But there will be more neutral cards for sure, we need to see if are good ones or not.
with the standar cards, you can deal 14 dmg to the enemy with that card, Metamorphosis, Chaos Strike and Fury (Rank 3). And 14 dmg are a lot of dmg, i hope that no more fel attack buffs will be printed that set.
I think that ppl is overhyping that card. Yes, it's a "I win" reward, but it's really hard to get. As I said before, priest have tons of stuff generator to find cards with the required cost, and that trait can help a lot, but it's enough? I don't know, if someone can take profit from a extremly slow wincon... is priest.
Priest decks uses tons of stuff generation like Renew, Venomous Scorpid, Palm Reading, Draconic Studies... So you can pick a card with the cost that you need and doesn't found drawing from your deck.
That Questline looks slow, but playable. I'll try for sure.
Calling it now, all these Questlines will be unplayable. they're way too slow and the reward isn't nearly game changing enough (at least not immediately).
MAge can't play Control right now, they are just too frail. Also, we all now how much of a downside it is to open up with a quest on turn 1 instead of doing something useful.
I mean, +3 damage permanent is cool and all but how does it win you the game. at best you get 23 damage with double Fireball + Runic Orb and that's not gonna win against control, nor is it going to be fast enough against aggro.
Totally agree, these quests looks too slow at this meta, but i hope that blizz adds tons of "strong slow" cards that expansion, nowadays the meta is too fast and im bored, all the game are against face decks, highroll midrange decks and... cancercontrolpriest.
Sweet card, have better Body/cost than Ooze (2 mana 3/2 < 3 mana 3/4) and the tradeable keyword helps you against decks that don't use weapons.
The only downside is the beast tag, you don't want to resurrect it with N'Zoth, God of the Deep, and that god increases his power when more expansions are revealed, can be a solid win condition for a lot of control decks in the second half of the year because more tribe minions will be revealed.
The way T5 talked about this Questline in the reveal video makes me believe that there is good support for this card. Of the top of my head, some sort of minion that damages you on the battlecry but heals you on the deathrattle.
Because if there isn't, my god is this bad. Even Neeru-lock would have to include a self damage package reducing the options of the deck while having to survive on essentially 15 HP AND spend an extra 5 mana just to prevent fatigue damage.
PS: Btw, if Blightborn Tamsin does prevent fatigue, then that's yet another way for control warlock to counter other control decks while being somehow even weaker to aggro.
Spice Bread Baker is a direct support to this archetype, you can easily selfheal for 7-9hp on a 3/2 body.
And Blood Shard Bristleback will be nuts, getting back your hp and dealing with some minion.
Love it, i'll add it to my shuffle rogue deck.
Bad card unless neutral/DH shuffle card will be revealed. Maybe is a hint for Elwynn Boar support?

That card will not see play, but will remain sleeping until some crazy deathrattle will be added to Standard.
Summoning 2 5/3 dudes with divine shield looks really worth with Pursuit of Justice and Lothraxion the Redeemed, add +1 attack with Warhorse Trainer and you have a sweet cancer deck as odd pally was.
We don't know if handlock will be a thing, but if it is, Anetheron will see play.
By the way, is a boring designed card, the other legendary class minions looks fresher.
If big pally gets some love, can be a good early tool against aggro.
I love the flavour, but will not see any play in constructed.
Atleast is a funny packfiller with a trolden potential when is summoned with cards like Serpentshrine Portal.

I'm not sure, but use to be totally random.
About the card, there are a bunch of annoying cards that can take profit of this:
Mutanus the Devourer (but it's so expensive), Knife Vendor (4 dmg in the face cannot be ignored), Kazakus, Golem Shaper (a greedy but funny option), Defender of Argus (can be an abusive board buff), Mankrik (what about filling your deck of mankrik's wifes?), Costumed Entertainer ( massive hand bff) and the best one is... murlocs, Coldlight Seer, Felfin Navigator, Lushwater Murcenary...
A 5/5 card for sure.
Evolve is the worst mechanic ever, any 100% rng style os good for the meta.
Any removal for druid os good, 4 mana remove 2 minions against aggro is totally worth.
There are 27 DR cards actually, and some of them are "meh" with that card.
If you want to activate the DR effect, you definitely don't want to discover cards like Mailbox Dancer, Educated Elekk, Teron Gorefiend or Darkspear Berserker. And there a bunch of situational DR like Showstopper, Explosive Sheep, Disguised Wanderer, Al'ar, Sneaky Delinquent... All of them can be fine in some situations, but use to be bad.
The good point is that we have a lot of variety effects. Defensives like Lightshower Elemental or Death's Head Cultist, ofensives like Shadowed Spirit, card draw with Bloodmage Thalnos, Loot Hoarder, Claw Machine or summoning minions with Nerubian Egg, Dragonmaw Sky Stalker, Cairne Bloodhoof, Plagued Protodrake, Burning Blade Acolyte...
I can say that it's a good card, usually you will get atleast 1 good option to pick and fits in a lot of archetypes.

I'm sure that Mutanus the Devourer will see more play with the questlines.

It would be problematic if Shadowform were the 'Starting Hero Power', but it isn't. So Genn Greymane and Baku the Mooneater doesn't interact with Darkbishop Benedictus.

The card looks fine, but needs more support actually the standar shadow spells are controllish, just Raise Dead, Auspicious Spirits, Psyche Split, Palm Reading, Insight and Thrive in the Shadows can fit in a aggro/midrange deck, and some of them are bad or not worth cards.
I hope that the new legendary quest sinergizes with Darkbishop Benedictus in some way, could be cool!
Auspicious Spirits
