...and use its Battlecry
It is for now. It won't be if Blizzard starts setting up more tools for a Warlock discard deck, which they have pretty clearly signaled they are going to do.
Not this expansion. Next expansion perhaps, or the expansion after this one.

Warlock will eventually need a minion that lets you choose which card to discard I'd think. The random element will end up being the biggest limiting factor.
They should've added more cards for it then.
Whether the cards are good or bad is a different case altogether (most will be bad of course that's just how card expansions go over) but they definitely brought quite a lot of interesting cards that got the discussions going .Y'all didn't believe in TGT.
They said that some cards added in right now are precursors for decks that might be formed later down the line with more cards.
Something like Steamweedle Sniper is an example of that it's an Inspire esque card before Inspire type decks were a thing.

I never understood people talking shit with like 10 cards revealed. An expansion this big is always gonna change the meta if it's made halfway competently. The adventure expansions are way more likely to fizzle.

What's with these stats.
Edit: Oh nevermind.

They're solid cards but don't really have the same purpose. Unless it gets silenced Deathlord lets you mop up all the early game garbage aggro plays which Priest otherwise has a tough time dealing with efficiently. You either have Holy Nova whose 2 damage are often too late on 5, Lightbomb which is more of a midrange clear, or Auchenai+CoH which is fast and deals with almost anything but is a 2-card combo, so often you won't draw it in time. You can't just heal the damage because with each turn more and more garbage will be chipping away your health.
Deathlord also lets you build a board instead of blowing an entire midgame turn for AoE to kill 1-2-drops.
I... huh...
It's a really powerful card. This card with UTH is a board wipe against the strongest of boards.
This card on the other hand is more interesting because it it's like a cheaper Baron Geddon. Obviously does not fit into any existing Hunter deck but maybe a slow Control Hunter deck down the line.
I like both of these Hunter cards. They promote slow, control oriented playstyles. They might never see play but they are cool cards nonetheless.
2 mana to copy a minion on board still seems bad. You have to combine this spell with removal or whatever minion you want to copy is going to roll you over. It's more of the card/minion stealing gimmick that I didn't think priest needed.
The card even limits you to Enemy minions. It would be better if I could build my deck around it.

Blizzard listened and agreed animal companion was bugged because it did not summon Huffer 100% of the time, so they fixed it but gave it to Mage.
I don't think that's an autoinclude. It would be at 2/3, but at 2/2 I'm not so sure.

Realest power creep I've ever seen
At least one, because it doesn't have to be played the same turn, like Dragon Consort. You could wait (and probably should) for a combo.
The stats are whatever, they aren't really anything.
so about that mad scientist nerf, wow lol

I wonder if they hold a competition at Blizzard to see who can create the worst card.

I feel like they could have afforded to give Acidmaw better stats. Yeah it's a powerful effect, especially with UTH, but 4/2 for 7? Sheesh. Plus Acidmaw dies from Dreadscale's effect, although Dreadscale seems to survive through it.
Edit: Actually reading Acidmaw again, maybe it does survive Dreadscale's effect? It does say "another minion" instead of "a minion." Maybe it's not as bad in that respect.

Warlock really got mostly garbage, but that's just fine
I agree with that, but I'm not really interested in Priest remaining the "hey, at least it's fun to play!" class.
