Happy with the new cards. Looks like a few of them could be game changers.

Ten mana and 7 murlocs have to have died to get full value? I'm not seeing it
That's actually gg imo, the best thing is that is rare

Doesn't seem anything worth real money guess im grinding gold again should not be too hard. Also do not like the theme it should have been Ulduar.

Naga sea witch is definitely the most interesting. Have to see it in play.
Also this challenge stone is light hearted fun. Wish there was a mode similar to it.

I mistook the 1 mana weapon for Rogue.
Rogue burns enough health on aggro already.

That one mana Warrior weapon seems like a great way to kill yourself very fast in the current meta
It's an aggro Warrior card. You use it to just go face for 3 turns.

While taking double damage from all the agro on the ladder hitting you in the face

It's bad against enrage minions and Grim Patron!
Mounted Raptor, Unearthed Raptor, and Desert Camel can all go fuck themselves.

Isn't Mounted raptor just unreliable beast harvest golem?
That 7/4 4 mana card as well. Aggro decks don't give a fuck about getting a random negative card added to their decks.. they will be finishing the game before it anyway. You play that 7/4 minion on 4 then you keep going face.
It's a more aggressive Harvest Golem with the chance to summon a 2/4 minion on death. Harvest Golem used to be played in decks not too long ago.
LMAO I just realized this... absolutely disgusting.

I'm so sad we won't get the GOAT commentary team in all of esports for this blizzcon
Artosis + Frodan + Brode was so amazing last year
Artosis + Frodan + Brode was so amazing last year
Deathrattle cards that spawn minions want more attack then health, and the average 1-drop is going to be better than a damaged golem.
So here are the cards I can see being played in constructed:
Forgotten Torch - Potential include in Freeze Mage as an additional removal which doesn't take away from your win conditions.
Rumbling Elemental - Potential to give Shaman a crazy way to take back tempo. They already have a fair number of Battlecry minions and the stats make it pretty sticky.
Mounted Raptor - Straight up a 3 mana Shredder. This is definitely an auto-replace with Shade of Naxxramas in Combo Druid. Can even trade evenly with Shredder because a lot of 1 mana minions can trade with 2 mana minions. The equivalent of Millhouse Manastorm would be Injured Kvaldir.
Unearthed Raptor - Potential for a variant of Oil Rogue where you play sticky minions like Creeper and Nerubian Egg which gives you a higher chance to have minions to get Oiled.
Brann Bronzebeard - Potential of being played in a Shaman deck together with Rumbling Elemental. Stats are a problem though because 4 health makes it fairly easy to remove.
Desert Camel - People keep saying that this is a Face Hunter card but I actually think this is more of a Midrange card due to it's stats. The idea is that you use this to bring out Webspinner onto the board so that you have more beasts on the board for synergy with Houndmaster and Ram Wrangler.
edit:
Keeper of Uldaman - Definitely an interesting choice in Midrange Paladin, but can't really fit into Secret Paladin. The only problem with it is that the 4 mana slot is super crowded already for Paladin, you might actually have to cut Murloc Knight for it.

As much as I don't like the Discover mechanic, it is in fact a fairly powerful effect.
Especially that 1 mana Druid spell that allows you to pick a spell (I am assuming it only picks Druid spells). You can use it as another way to potentially get a combo piece.
Stuff like that is better to get random lethals out of nowhere. Or a clutch removal.
I know people compared it to Unstable Portal but it's a bit more skill intensive than it. Still bull shit RNG based but it will favor skilled players a lot more.

The choices will present an obvious "best" candidate on average. Only rarely will a player's ability be really tested by Discover.
I really hate it. It's Unstable Portal/Shredder with a safety net.
They should be moving away from those kinds of effects, not doubling down!

kno with the clutch

None of them saw that lethal lol
"Why's he not playing a naked 7/4 Rend?"
"Aw, he's one off lethal! Pay no attention to his weapon."
They are costing the effect similarly to "draw a card" and it won't necessarily be the case that the card you discover is going to be better than a card in your deck.
The two raptors and the fucking camel are most problematic cards in this set, let's not kid ourselves here. These three cards alone are kind of souring me on this expansion right now.

True, but that card in your deck may not necessarily get drawn. So I think the costing is fine.
Who really cares about power creep anyway? People might get attached to the art on a card or something? But I don't think it really matters.
The only power creep we should be worried about are things like Mysterious Challenger and Piloted Shredder. Who cares if crappy Magma Rager gets replaced by still-crappy Ice Rager?

I think that is more of an issue with balance.
Meanwhile lol at that Dreadsteed reaction.
Not what a secret paladin wants to see.
Entomb feels like an awkward edge case between PW
and Mind Control. PW is better as an early answer and Mind Control has better value. Entomb tries to play the middle. I'm not so sure it'll see play.
