Priest gets nothing. lol priest, lol Blizzard.

45 cards. Wow, seems like a lot. Looking forward to the rest of the reveals.

Guess I gotta get back on the gold grind

Ivory Knight - Kinda tricky to evaluate, 6 mana 4/4 heal 9 would be about breakeven I think with no card draw. Paladin spells are almost all bad

Kindly Grandmother - Worse than King's Elekk, I guess it can compete with the big toad and flame juggler

Barnes - begging to be broken with Malygos

The Curator - This guy is super OP. 7 mana 4/6 taunt draw 2 is really strong. Azure Drake already gets played in tons of decks so you don't lose anything by adding him to your deck. Kodo/Tiger are borderline playable for neutral beasts, plus Savage Combatant and Hunter beasts. I wouldn't be surprised if you can profitably play a Bluegill Warrior in your deck too.

Ethereal Peddler - 5 mana 5/6 doesn't need much help to be good. 2x Huckster might be enough for this guy to be strong. Burgle is so bad though.

Firelands Portal is good too. A random 5 drop is worse like 4 mana and a card, deal 5 damage is worth like 4 mana and a card. Seems like it'd be pretty clunky to play this, but the in a vacuum power level is really high.

Oh god, what if Barnes is good enough that you play him in normal decks where he mostly summons vanilla 1/1s but sometimes he summons Rag or Sylvanas or Tirion. He's going to induce so much rage

Yeah I'm thinking you just play Barnes in everything.

I think you're only losing like .3 mana when he whiffs. If he grabs a taunt you're around break even

On curve jackpots from cards people are already playing:
Infested Wolf, Highmane (win the game), Tirion (win the game), Light Rag, Shifting Shade, Undercity Huckster, Tomb Pillager, Mana Tide, Al Akir, Possessed Villager, Imp Gang Boss, Argent Squire, Thalnos, Loot Horder, Acolyte, Argent Horserider, C'Thun's Chosen, Cairne (win the game), Emperor (win the game), Sylvanas (win the game), Baron Geddon, Rag (win the game) and Ysera (win the game)

Then there's a bunch of must-remove hits like Fandral and Antonidas that you're probably happy to hit on curve even without the mana to immediately take advantage of them - sometimes you'll force your opponent into an awkward turn and every once in a while they'll stick

how is that anywhere near crap?

how is that anywhere near trash?

2 cards per class then?

Bunch of cool cards with cool effects that do cool things

Yet best card will be the 1 mana 2/2

Barnes pulling deathwing dragon lord into like 4 dragons would be pretty rage inducing

I think the 1 mana 2/2 is more of an anti aggro card than anything. I'll still play Living Roots over it though.

Barnes is super broken on the other hand. Even control decks will win faster now.

This actually sounds prettttty good.

All the cards seem pretty legit so far. Barnes can be totally OP in certain decks--obviously deathrattle and Rag/Ysera/Maly/Emperor can be legit.

Where it can work:

Druid: Fandral
Hunter: Savannah/Tundra
Mage: Archmage, Rhonin
pally: Tirion/Rag the Lightlord
Priest: Prophet
Rogue: Anub'arak
Shaman: Thunder Bluff?, Al'akir (seems okay if you have buffs)
Neutral: Rag, ysera, Deathwing Dragonlord, Chillmaw, Cairne, Sylv, Emperor, Twilight, Brann, Violet

There are probably others but I think it could be a card that could define a few decks.
Curator can work--obviously decks need to be built around it but even if it only draws 2 cards it's pretty nice especially dragons. Might be able to work in some control hunter or beast druid. Stampeding/Stranglehorn are both playable in other decks. Dragon decks, especially priest, could use it.

I'm not much of a rogue player but in some sort of control/stealing rogue deck ethereal could be very good and could get you a ton of value--obviously i most cases it'll be trash.

Enchanted looks OP.

Ivory Knight--could be decent. Discover is excellent (although not all of the pally spells are great (consc, blessing, vigil, avenging, lay, divine could make it work) and healing is also good. Seems like a good arena card.

Kindly--might be too slow for hunter.

Firelands seems good on paper. 3 mana for damage and a 5 mana minion.

Worst 5 mana minions: Buzzard, wrangler, BGH, Faceless, Grim, Naga, Summoning, Stormpike
Best: Nexus Champion, Leeroy, corrupted, doomguard, earth E (the dream).

Barnes seems gamebreakingly good

yea barnes has me worried and excited.

Lol priest is what needed a 1 mana 2/2

Holy **** is Barnes the card that makes gang up viable

Prob not but i like the idea of deck manipulation

1 mana 2/2 is definitely good if you have 2x Mark of Y'Shaarj but that deck is at 46% on the Data Reaper and it's hard to imagine a 1 mana 2/2 pushing the needle that much

Otherwise I think you'd always prefer Living Roots

T1 2/2 allows you to trade t2 and still be able to wild growth

Later in the game it's a decent token for power of the wild/cenarius.

Dont really see the hype over barnes but w/e

Barnes won't see play besides in gimmick decks

Most games will be decided by turn 4 I guess

Turn 1 2/2 into mark of whatever is basically Druids trogg into golem. It's a very powerful opening and is a huge boon to beast Druid IMO.

I'm confused at why people don't think Barnes is good? Worst case it's a 4/5 card for 4 mana--a yeti. Best case it just wins games. Super OP if it pulls Tirion, Rag, Y'saarj (might be the most OP if it pulls anything of decent value) or Sylv against a few classes. While it might not be the most consistent card to build a deck around it can definitely supplement good decks.

Think you are underestimating it, a big part of why the deck struggles is it has no explosive start since afaik there are no playable t1 beasts. A t1 raven into t2 mark will win a lot of games. No one plays priest anyways but priest has literally no way to deal with a turn 2 4/4, for example. Druid can also now, going first, innervate out a 4/4 and draw a card.

Edit: i guess thats not too op given druid can do something right now like innervate x2 + dotc, but thats really going all in, whereas because mark cycles, innervate + raven + mark doesn't put you as far behind if they answer it.

lets see some artwork
