Yeah, it's like Thaddius essentially. Your opponent has basically a full turn to keep you from having 3 Mechs on the board plus the Head card. Seems like if you can summon the Mega Windfury guy you've already won anyway.

Madder Bomber is going to be lots and lots of fun
Well there's that "summon a random legendary" card now as well...
But yes, like Thaddius.

Mirmirons head must survive a round with 4 mechs. That will almost never happen lol.
But when it does it brings a 4/8 mega-windfury minion with charge that you drop rockbiter on and it does 28 damage. lol

Oh nice, spectator mode too

Best 3-drop in the game?
For neutral, yes. Worse than the Priest's Dark Cultist though since it has no Deathrattle.

Very true. That deathrattle on dark cultist is reallly good. It certainly pressures me into removing that minion to avoid its benefit later on or attacking minions out of order.
Yeah, Dark Cultist still beats it if you are running Priest. But the Spider Tank will pretty much be in EVERY single arena deck.

Turn 1 coin Paladin or Shaman hero power. Turn 2 Recombobulator to get a 1-cost minion to replace the token after you hit face for 1 damage.
Also, I think Baron Rivendare will suddenly be more useful. Some nice Deathrattles in this expansion.
Sounds like 100g expansion-specific packs. Presumably they will also be given out as arena awards as well?

Tron+Cold Blood=32 damage

So this is basically an epic Cairne?
It might summon a Gnomish Inventor though.
Yeah, I think rogue is the only class that could reliably run this card since they can stealth all their mechs to summon Vol7ron.
6/4 are not great starting stats tho (vulnerable defensively) + your random 4 could be a dud. I like the reliability of Cairn.

I like deathrattle cards that summon new minions. Those are probably my favorite type of minion in the game, other than rogue combo minions cause those are pretty sweet.
Well conceal is a card that only reliably works in miracle rogue, a deck that relies mostly on spells. Setting this up with conceal sounds great but it'll take a lot of work to make this work consistently.

Being a mech could be a sizable advantage as well though, depending on all the new cards.
Yeah, so many of these cards are RNG-based it's kinda ridiculous.
I don't see how Blingtron could ever be playable, except if you absolutely pair it with an ooze, and even then it has shit stats for a 5-drop. And if you get Light's Justice? LOL.
A lot of the other RNG cards are semi-reliable - stuff like Bomb Lobber can be good if you can guarantee it's target (or if you guarantee it'll kill something, for example). Same with Flamecannon - although in this case, a 2-mana spell that deals 4 damage is pretty crazy. At least they're trying to make RNG cards where the RNG can be semi-controlled, and in the case where it can't be controlled, you'll at least always get value (except maybe for Recombobulator, but if you put the worst possible drop for cost, you can get something better guaranteed I guess...)
This means that more and more and more silence will start being mandatory in all decks, really.

there are more good weapons than bad weapons, i'd take the chance
Would you if you don't have an ooze in hand, though?
There are only 2 revealed spells, and they're both Mage. **EDIT** There's also a Priest spell.

Two of the worst casters for the game. Together watching this is almost unbearable.
sure! YOLO

imagine the lorewalker/millhouse disaster
You get only one Cairn, but two of these.
The list for absolutely trash 4 cost cards is a short one. I'm assuming it has access to all playable class cards. In my wildest dreams, it has access to ALL 4 cost cards including stuff like Emerald Drake and Misha. The only card I'd be really sad to see is Argus.
Summoning random things via card effects doesn't trigger bbattlecry. So no Millhouse disaster.

Wow, that shaman vs priest match was pretty nuts. I am surprised shaman won that, even after a strong start due to that mid game.

Boo, admirable, nooo, shaman is definitely on even footing against miracle rogue if not favored
