Well you can already run Boom and Grom, so it could be doable. He wouldn't have the impact of Boom on play, but would synergize more with your deck.

I'm assuming that Blizzard is announcing all the boring stuff first and saving the juicy stuff for later, but I'm disappointed in how boring these new cards are in terms of their design.
The only thing I'm excited about right now is the cardback. I hope that reprints of existing cards don't make up too much of the expansion card pool.

It reminds me of Troggzor. Though I think it might be better than Troggzor.
In fact, it's a reverse Troggzor. Troggzor you deal with by sending your minions into it and not using removals, with new Hoggor you use your removal and not suicide smaller minions into it.
I am curious to see how this will play out. Certainly a valid option for the all Legendary deck at least lol.
Nope, I think a Blizzard rep said there'd be a new card on stream today when asked about if it was one of the ones from the foreign tourneys.

Bets on how long after tomorrow it takes before "we need more deck slots" is a thing again?
Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy to get more tomorrow. But I think it's been a bit lost in all the hype that really all you have now is one slot for each class in each format. It's still not really enough for those who were hoping to have multiple decks with different builds.

That's what Warhorse Trainer does. He even has good stats! It's a testament to how broken Paladin is, that a card this good couldn't even see play in decks that HAVE Muster...
The card will not be good even when the other broken paladin cards doesn't exist
the only way to work is if you manage to had a lot of silverhand on play, and even with muster sometimes that's hard to happen the next turn that is played..
If hat card give a health boost, or for some broken reason the silver hands could gain charge, it will be a great card, but without it, the benefits doesn't last enough to justify his existence on a deck

New Hunter card seems interesting. Pretty significant buff to Ram Wrangler.
What were the (apparently fake) dragon cards?

Call Pet is a GVG card, so it won't be in Standard format.

card reveal coming
True. It wasn't a key choice anyway. Will be fun to play with the other cards, though.

There's the secret Paladin counter that nobody will use, so we'll get the Mysterious Challenger nerf a few months after Old Gods comes out.
Bingo.

Not liking the secret eater
4 mana 2/4 is imposible to play if you match up against a non-secret player. It's basically a completely dead card.
4 mana 4/3 or 2 mana cycle isn't great either but at least it's usable.

Why won't it be used?
You hit one secret you get 3/5 for 4 which isn't bad. Still worse than a Kezan.
You hit no secret it's worse than Kezan Mystic.
It's a different Kezan Mystic. Niche at best. Yeah, it beats MC turn but it's worse every where else. Cards like this are not good. This is Lil' Exorcist I predicted they will print a while back. Secret paly will be an issue in wild and they said they still care about that, so I guess a nerf still could happen if reddit complains enough.

This is the stupidest card design. Just nerf the card that's the damn problem.
I think that this card is better than kezan mystic. And will be included in decks that had problems against secret cards, plus the stats that will had destroying a secret are not that bad., at least I prefer a 3/5 than a 4/3
Still, I think that standard already is a big nerf on secret paladin.
Besides the ability of the card, secret paladin was super broken for the rest of the deck too, all those sticky minions that could survive until turn 6 made MC a really scary card, But using secret paladin with the same secrets but with other minions isn't really that good. If you also consider that Avenge is phased out, the card loses a lot of strength, plus the deck will also lose
shielded minibot
piloted shredder,
loatheb
dr boom
muster for battle
coghammer
sludge belcher
aunted creeper
without those you had a deck that loses A LOT of his appeal. Still, we had to wait what new cards will the expansion include, maybe they release replacements that somehow make the deck even better

The game needs more cards that deal with secrets. It's very likely every class will have secrets eventually and in that world this card looks better.
Thanks!
Fuck Secrets, the card.
That thing actually damn good. Fucks up secret paladin, fucks up Freeze Mage, hell it even is a nucuisine to Hunter. Its also significantly better then Kaizen.
It may be a crappy drop in other matchups, but its super good against two powerful decks.
Also Giant Sand Worm is a good card. Especially if BGH is nerfed.

I think you miss the point of the card.
It's existence as a tech card prevents decks that heavily rely on secrets from controlling the meta. There will never be a deck like Secret Paladin again because we could tech that in to destroy them.
It doesn't actually need to be played to have a profound impact. It's actually pretty huge for Wild format, funnily enough.
Yeah, but you don't want a card like this costing F2P players 1600 dust.
It's not better than Kezan. Kezan creates a swing, this doesn't really. You just get a dude on board. Stealing mirror entity is a LOT better than destroying it. You usually deal with 1 - 2 secret anyway.
This card won't help against secret paly in wild. Because you have to draw it, there is still a sticky board and a 6/6 on board. secret paly will just go face and kill you with all the tempo he has from earlier.
