Tri-class is Interesting, but don't know how much it will really change things though.

You seem to choose a manacost at start. The example had 1-, 5- and 10 mana.

no just the one he picked. No counter play against that card lol
No, you choose mana cost, effect, etc from a random list.
You pick a mana cost, then choose 2 effects appropriate to that cost.
No, there were options to create 1 mana, 6 mana and 10 mana spell.
OH SNAPS DIABLO TIME!!!
You can choose the cost if I saw that right.

What were the classes for Kazakus?
I believe he was leader of the Kabal; so Mage, Priest and Warlock.

Spell reno was needed after normal Reno stopped being relevant thanks to aggro turning into building an overwhelming board quickly instead of just going face constantly.
Hopefully the 1 or 5 mana cost spells can still give you some good board clear and heals.

Decent reveal. Not that hyped about priest getting fireballs. The new dark cultist is interesting. Some might call it power creep, but the new cultist requires board presence before being used, so not sure how good it is unless priest gets a strong early drop. What does make it pretty good is that it's easier to combo as the game goes on.
Also assuming the first choice never changes.

Kabal Talon Priest just proves that Blizzard has decided that you balance classes by printing cards that are OP as fuck. Every 2 drop that priest puts down is now a threat to become some 3/5 or 2/6 nonsense, with no tempo disruption or drawback.

Some interesting cards and excited to see more, but as an actual unveiling it was kind of dull

Another card.
And the new board.

Yeah, my worry is that Priest has too many get more ahead cards, that they'll be really annoying after they get the lead.
Alone, this doesn't change much of anything, but it could turn really annoying in conjunction with more good priest cards.
man they are really trying to make bolster warrior happen, huh?

5 mana, 2 attack, 4 durability.
Whenever you attack summon a 1/1 Piranha. Most likely a beast.

Impressions of the first set of cards revealed:
Piranha Launcher - The text seems good. Summoning 1/1 beasts for Hunter is usually relevant. The mana cost kills it though. 5 mana for a 2/4 weapon? Unplayable.
Lotus Assassin - He's like a slower, weaker Giant Sand Worm. Unplayable.
Kabal Talonpriest - A strictly better Dark Cultist, which was one of the best 3-drops in the game. Overpowered.
Kazakus - His condition is going to require a very specific type of deck. But the reward seems well worth it. He, like Reno, will be relegated to one deck type, but I think that deck type will be viable. Playable.
I Know a Guy - Most taunt minions suck. Meh. Unplayable.

Arena saved.
Massive Priest arena buff
The weapon is a 2/4 for 5 mana I belive.
Also, I agree. Guess it's Priests time to become the next curve god...
except bolster leaves standard next set, so who the hell knows
It's a 5 mana 2/4. Summons a 1/1 beast pirahna each time the hunter attacks. Way too slow.
On the topic of the priest card. Okay. I will not tell you it's a common. I won't do that.
It says the faction on the Expansion's site
Grimy Goons: Hunter, Paladin, Warrior
Kabal: Mage, Priest, Warlock
Jade Lotus: Druid, Rogue, Shaman
Too slow for Hunters/10.
That's pretty much how you evaluate Hunter cards.
Priest card is a common. Of course it's a common. Well hopefully there's extensive Arena rebalances on the way.

The tri-class stuff is pretty exciting. I wonder how much they'll play into that system though.
Kazakus being a highlander card is pretty on point though. If you think about it, the best reno classes have been mage and warlock. Priest, not so much, but who has seriously tried reno priest anyway and maybe kazakus priest is something that could work. Granted, I'm personally not too keen on reno decks, at least they get cycled out next rotation.
The rogue card seems good. Flexible for value or flexible for face damage. Basically stranglethorn tiger with an upside for trading. I assume it didn't have a pirate tag though it would be neat if it did.
