The 3 mana Consecrate is pretty insane from a control-perspective.
Which card is that? You mean the 3 mana explosive shot?
Wait what card is that?

Yeah, the mini-Explosive Shot. Rarely will you need to use it on more than 3 minions.
King's Elekk, Bear Trap, and Ram Wrangler all seem pretty good for Beast Hunter.

So Shaman are getting a Legendary that buffs all your minions, an awesome heal, and a massive (but really expensive overload-wise) board clear? The times... they are ah changin'.

Kibler so happy with Twillight Guardian.
I've only been reading the cards being dumped here -- was there a card with Hero Power trigger via Battlecry, Deathrattle, etc.?
Shaman basically got
[Totem Card]
[Totem Card]
[Totem Card]
[Totem Card]
[Weapon]
[Heal]
[AoE]
[Card Draw]
[Buff]
They're all pretty boring from a 'cool' standpoint, but those are some workhorse cards that'll fill in gaps where it was needed.

They also got Totem Golem and Tuskarr Totemic. Shaman got a bunch to work with
It's the card that will push Dragon Mage into the top!

The closest thing to that is Fencing Coach. Sets the next use of your Hero Power to be 2 less. Good for setting up Inspire Combos. It's a 3 Mana 2/2 though, so you do set yourself behind.

Priest and Rogue seem like classes that they don't know what to do with

I feel like I win a lot more when I play on mobile than PC. Got to max stars on rank 7 last night before bed! Too bad... then I tilted. Welp gg.

Also through Mulch! Which will have it's own fun mishaps I'm sure.
Well they are clearly pushing the Pirate tribe on Rogue.
With Priest they want to push the "low attack, high health heal" deck type on them that you buff them up with Divine Spirit/Innerfire/Confuse for fast kills. They are also pushing the Shadowform Priest deck to synergize with the Inspire mechanic (hence their Legendary which is an Inspire minion).
All of these are very iffy though of course.
message me if you love me bro
swap belchers for those and his dragon mage deck suddenly get 2x better. There are a lot times he couldn't play corruptors because he had no dragons. His deck will be really good with these.

Personally i would probadly swap out my 2 twilight drake's from my Dragon Mage. Belcher is still a really sticky minion and harder to deal with.
Most of the cards aren't actual power creep. There are only like a couple that are just so blatant that it's parody worthy, almost like a joke they threw them in there.
Right now TGT doesn't seem like a significant power creep overall. At least not as much as GvG was.

Sideshow Spelleater in Shaman, what do you guys think?
If you don't rely on totems, maybe.
A minion-focused Rogue deck might like it, since their hero power sucks later in the game.

Don't like playing druid much, but I love mulch as a card.
If you aren't running any Totems, it might be worth it to get a more steady Hero Power, combined with Justicar Trueheart. The 2 big problems I see are 1) The Mana Cost, and 2) the randomness of your opponents' class.
Ice Rager is acceptable because Magma Rager should have been a 5/2 anyway.
That Booty Bay thing is kind of crazy though.
His Deathrattle animation is super cool too.
I do want to say that while I agree that inspire is currently mediocre, I think people are underestimating it because its compounding effects are hard to calculate. If I have a "hero power" themed Warrior deck, then something like playing Trueheart in to later playing Nexus Champion Saraad in to Orgrimmar Aspirant and then hero powering gets me:
1 Random spell
+1 attack on my Fiery War Axe or Death's Bite or whatever
A 4/5 minion on board that must be killed
A 3/3 minion that must be killed
4 armor
That's very strong, and not some ideal circumstance where everything lines up right. If you want to consider that, then imagine Nexus Champion and Garrison Commander living a turn then playing Orgrimmar Aspirant and Silver Hand Regent and double hero powering for 2x random spells and 2x 1/1s and +2 attack on your weapon and 8 armor.
The point is, these inspire effects stack up in value very quickly, and don't require all of them on board in some ideal circumstance. Even having 2 on board for a single turn is very bad for your opponent, and very, very bad if they last any longer than that.

Rogue got Undercity Valiant,but that's really about it.
I like beneath the grounds,but it's just too slow.
Guess I have to keep playing Oil Rogue.
As for inspire cards, Saraad is the best on,because he his effect is a bit like drawing a card, but even he might be to bad to be played.
I'm really happy with the dragon support,but murlcos and pirats got terrible cards.
I thought the would get some kind of muster for battle card,because that's the only way Kraag would be playable,but apperently that's not the case.
At last we are getting close to a druid beast deck.I don't think we are quite there yet, though.
Maybe people say priest got the worst cards,but they got a few cool cards.They really loser is warrior,because only the legendary is great.

Because it shares a mana slot with Dr. Boom lol.
Honestly though, it's really nice for Webspinner and especially Ram Wrangler.
And in arena it's great of course.
Pirate already has its linchpin card, and that is Ship's Cannon. The only reason why Ship's Cannon seems dinky right now is nobody plays pirates and even if they do there aren't enough pirates to draw them reliably. The current rogue pirate deck plays about 6 pirates, but the post TGT Pirate Rogue deck may play 10 pirates, which is a very significant boost to ship's cannon.
I think Rogue pirates are at the very least on the edge of viability now. As in, it isn't a joke deck.

It's shit. Should be a 6/9 or a 5/10.
You might pick it in arena like you would pick War Golem
so hunter legs. I get that the idea is to play them in pair on turn 10 and they clear the board and they survive. They can't clear board of patron of course. I feel Dreadscale is the interesting one on its own. It's like a mini Baron Geddon, it seems like it could really help hunter in paladin match ups. It's actually a good anti aggro card for hunter lol. Maybe one hunter legendary sees some play at last.
