    I would've gone with Harrison Jones fused with Back to the Future as the legendary explorer of Uldum, because 80s pastiches are always cool.

    -You haven't watched Avatar? That show is awesome!

    -Wait they made a show about those blue aliens?

    I know the wording isn't very orthodox, but whatevs.

    Next: An Arcane Mage ability.

    At first, I read Totalitarian Pilgrim and was wondering why on Earth would Blizzard print a card about a fusion of Adolf Hitler and the bassist of Sex Bob-ombs.

    Yup. Many cards before and after K&C have a Recruit-like effect, and yet they don't use the keyword.

    To be honest, the most boring Recruit cards are from K&C, even though it being a keyword allowed for more complex effects.

    Three cards for three mana is a very good deal, even if they're random. Cabalist's Tome was acceptable and almost doubled the cost of this card.

    Wow, this is very strong. Turn 4 with a strong Battlecry, a 3/3 and a 5/5 seems OP, even if you have to spend turn 2 playing a 1/1 minion.

    I meant that if we got a Neutral Highlander card, it'd make sense to be Harrison, since he's also an explorer.

    My bet is either a Neutral Harrison Jones or a Warlock card, since Rafaam is also a returning character from LoE, plus the fact that Expired Merchant seems good for Highlander.

    Too bad Warlock is receiving this card, because the Highlander Explorers would love it.

    Aggro likes the effect, yeah, but I'm afraid the cost you have to pay is too high. Aggressive decks love consistency and highlander decks are the opposite of that.

    Maybe some sort of Zoo Paladin could use it in Wild, though, because there are a lot of quality low cost minions there.

    Well, to be fair, old Finley also gave you an unreliable Hero Power and he was widely used in many decks, especially aggressive ones.

    That said, he was neutral, had premium stats for his cost and didn't require you to cripple your deck. The fact that the HP you get is upgraded doesn't make up for this at all, IMO.

    Battlecry: choose and cast a spell between Polymorph Flamestrike Greater Arcane Missiles.

    That would have been acceptable, and more creative than this thing.

    Anyway, i'm fairly sure there will be one more Highlander card in the set. A Neutral one, and good enough to justify Highlander decks in Standard.

    If that happens, I bet the character will be Harrison Jones.

    I'm not sure.  It does allow you to play three Chef Nomis, which may be a win con.  I like the continuity of Elise always being a 5-mana 5/5. 

    Elise was originally a 4 mana 3/5

    Oops.  

    To be fair, she was a 5/5 in Un'goro.

    I guess she won some muscle when she was in the crater and hasn't lost it :)

    Not really. We already know Pally's legendaries will be Finley and a Quest.
