It's definitely not an exciting card or anything, but I've played a lot of control Paladin and my turn 3's were almost always lacklustre. This gives me something to play on that turn and helps my gameplan. Couldn't ask for more.

Rogue getting some of Shaman's spells like Lava Burst could be bad too.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it being power creep either. It is a 3/5 the turn you use it, but then by the end of the turn it's basically a 3/3 whether it trades or not. Unless you heal it or give it something relevant like taunt, your opponent can potentially just ignore it and it'll likely go 1:1.
I've gotten lava burst with rogue through burgle/etc.. It's really not even that good. It's actually kind of bad on the rogue spell curve as shadowstrike deals 5 damage for 3 without the overload. Only great for face damage but even there it's just 5 damage for 5 mana.
Purify Priest's time to shine!

Finja!
I've noticed that we are more likely to get cards wrong when they're revealed late. Read up, bro. =)

Finja seems pretty damn good for Anyfin.

So... counterfeit coin is an actual rogue collectible spell or do you get that from another method?
Well Anyfin can resummon this card which means that greatly limits your damage output on the second Anyfin.

well most of these cards are terrible against midrange shaman lol. a bunch of high mana low stat effect cards that are too slow to defend yourself with.
The art is amazing!

Finja is really cool not sure how good it'll end up being maybe with the right setup it could be really powerful like Anyfin like someone mentioned earlier.
It's a part of League so yes.
I dunno. Seems like it'd pollute your Anyfins since it doesn't charge or buff.

So why is counterfeit coin a card? Half an innervate? 1/3rd of a prep. I kind of see why they don't want to give rogue innervate, so why half an innervate? Basically only useful for combo and auctioneer? I don't get the reasoning behind giving rogue this card, as an actual card, with no body attached or combo text.
I dunno, it seems great because it can be a free 7/7 but it's also a card that is dead until 10 mana. But I know once they start playing this card and ragnaros in the same turn, I'll hate it lol.

Aren't we simply getting everything? Since the thing is playable on Blizzcon, right?
edit: Nvm, apparently not.
No. Only part of it is playable.
That dragon card though. Being able to see 3 cards in your opponents deck and pick whatever fits the situation.

Aviana + Kun + the rest of your hand.

Wait, so the crime bosses can only be used for the three classes their gang represents? That's a neat thing.
Blog post. More cards revealed on Monday

Considering its effect it isn't power creep until you consider it a neutral priest card.
I don't get it... am I reading this incorrectly? Looks like straight up power creep.
They will have only a handful of pre-built decks playable.

Really tough to say. It gives me that Aviana vibe, where everyone thought it was nuts and it ended up being a bit underwhelming.
I think the combo with Aviana makes it particularly noteworthy. Seems like a Ramp Druid card. In many cases it's like not as strong as Arcane Giant but it has the flexibility of the 10 armor.
Shaman player misses lethal twice and still wins anyway. Sounds about right.
Aviana into Kun into 8 other big minions, the dream.
too bad you can't play him with aviana in standard
