This is completely off the topic of the new expansion and new cards, but I think Deathrattle Hunter might be my favorite deck of all time. Fun to play, as an opponent of it I don't hate playing against it, and there's plenty of opportunity for tech cards to throw in. Just my unsolicited two cents. Gonna miss it come April.

yah it's not super unfair like a lot of other ones

Kathrena is supremely unfair card with a 70% played winrate.

ok yah :P

Hagatha is strong

shoulda linked it in here :P

So anything that affects battlecries will affect the minion twice as well, which im not sure what's left beyond shudderwock (the 2 mana 1/1 double the battlecries card is rotating).

Will be pretty powerful in shudderwock though, also looking forward to the transform all friendly minions into legendary minions affect from the card, will definitely see some high rolls from it.

Main concern is this could be an overpowered tempo card, we'll see.

I'm looking forward to using it in some meme renowock shaman.

Dunno if it’ll be an overpowered tempo card, you are still investing 7mana into a 5/5 and having to wait a turn for the pay off. Its powerful but extremely slow.

i guess im just worried about the double bloodlust dream or bloodlust/windfury, and any potential aggro spells they print for shaman

The first spell is targeted the second is aoe

actually, just saw the tweet:



So still possible to have bloodlust/bloodlust

JUNK


Potential

Lol The way they design cards around priest makes it seem like they think the game would fall apart if the class had direct removal on 4 attack minions

I always proposed that having spell power +1 should allow the shadow words to go for 4 attack minions.

reveal schedule done:

cartoony

2 new hunter arrow, dragon paladin, at least 2 new murlocs, at least 2 priest spells in that list i see, along with some mech support

Big fan of the art style in this one

Junk, junk, OP as hell from Omega Assembly or Boom HP and Arena

i actually have rafaam's scheme as OP - activator for Spirit of the Bat, Grim Rally, and Frostwolf Warlord. I'm picking it as my best sleeper of the set so far

Mechathun decks are the nut low. Blow this card into oblivion.

My write-up right quick:
Lackeys are 1/1 with 'special battlecries' that haven't been revealed, so it's a tad early to say how good that part of it is. This is an execute activator which warriors run so how good this ends up being will depend on strength of the lackeys, which if strong will make this a probably run.

Turn 7:
Spirit of the Bat/Rafaam's Scheme/Defile (3+2+2) for 7, giving +6/+6 to a minion in our hand and board clearing if they have a 2 health minion.

into



Turn 8:
Hireek high-rolls for 7 7/7s

Doctor 8 anyone?

Like i mentioned above this is my sleeper of the set and i'd bet there's more support to be printed: even if not it's an activator for Spirit of the Bat, Grim Rally, and Frostwolf Warlord.

Crowd Roaster sees play (which this card has a lot of comparables to), so i think this will see some standalone play
