This is an insanely powerful card.
Hmm on second thought, warriors don't really play weapons beyond war axe anymore nvm. I guess it's great in the facewarrior.

fuckin' called it, man
I can't see the Pirate card
Grimestreet Pawnbroker
3 mana 3/3
Battlecry: Give a random weapon in your hand +1/+1
Not a pirate.
New Hunter card:
Another decent looking card! This set rocks.
wat...
ok I this one is far better than the one who boosts a beast
It's Deathrattle though, which means you might not be able to control when it procs.

Different mana slots. 2 mana 3/2 is a lot better than 3 mana 3/3.
The flavor variety seems to be Paladin buffing lots of units (for smaller amounts), Warrior buffing weapons/taunts, and Hunter with Beasts and individual units (for larger amounts).
pirate warrior is the most fun and interactive deck when it works...
they're severely undervaluing what giving +1/+1 to a weapon does, it's like extra 6 damage for almost free, you're dead to arcanite reaper, in 3 turns and there is nothing you can do except having a taunt, which most classes don't have right now, neutral ones suck. Or weapon removal, hate cards that you hope to maybe draw in time. It's funny whenever I Harrison arcanite reaper, they just play the second one every time.
pretty terrible design. high attack weapons should never be able to go face. there are very few ways to interact with them.

Yeah I think that's actually really scary to fight against. An upgraded Fiery War Axe is vicious enough.
If Warriors really needed 5 weapons in that deck, they could run a Gorehowl for 15 face damage over two turns in the late game to boot.

Paladin needed this way more than the other cards we got, a 5/3 truesilver would be the dream curve. Get fucked TfB.
The warrior card is good... If you have a weapon.
If you want to play on curve and you had a weapon, chances are that card was war axe , which you already played last turn.
It dosen't fit into control, unless they get a new weapon, but could work in other Decks.
The hunter card looks alright.

Guessing Don honcho going to be end of turn 50/50 chance to attack random enemy or buff cards in hand.
Mistcaller is the GOAT card that no one plays
Also, the art on this set is legit good.
But it actually helps those facewarriors because they often have more weapons in hand than what they can play.

all these buff things cards are going to be intresting in practice.
but it looks like agrro will be more a thing

It should have cost 4 with 2 overload
at 6So spells and buffs, what would be the theme of the lotus faction 🤔🤔
I totally expect it to be something like that..
may be +1/+1 to everything not spells.
also, we still don't have a clear theme for the lotus guys, right?

Got a rare and an epic in my free pack so that was nice.
At least Midrange Paladin is lookin' fiiiiinnnneeeee
So the one thing about that Upgrade minion is that since it only upgrades a weapon in your hand, unless you are equipping the weapon immediately, you are giving info to your opponent about what you're going to do. The card isn't very good on curve either, which is probably a good thing since a 6/3 Arcanite Reaper is going to hurt a lot. Hell even a 4/3 FWA is pretty painful.
So if you see this dude drop down on curve just save that Harrison and/or Ooze for a turn or two and make the Warriors sad.

It's probably mana manipulation. That's one thing that all lotus classes share.
coin/prep in rogue. ramp in druid and overload.
There is a new warrior weapon every set too. we'll see.

Gorehowl being a 7/2 is a big deal. Can swing to face now
You mean an 8/2!
Decent control hunter card. Otherwise shit.

I guess Blizzard is all in on buffing cards in your hand then.
Grimestreet Pawnbroker seems pretty good to me, certainly better than Orgrimmar Aspirant I'd think.
Shaky Zipgunner is...interesting. Hunter certainly doesn't need a 3 mana 3/3 but that effect seems reasonably strong at first glance. 5/5 worth of stats for 3 mana, could end up being playable.
I'm starting to think that, with all these buffs cards in your hand effects, maybe some of the cards that were understatted before could end up becoming playable. Stuff like Nexus Champion comes to mind.

Will entomb still be played? with the inclusion of the dragon removal and other high costs cards it seems a little overkill

Entomb is insane. It will always be insane.
That card single handedly murders other control decks.

The warrior card is likely just a face warrior card. I don't think it's justified in control warrior. It's pretty significant when the arcane reaper deals an additional 8 damage, almost becoming a double pyroblast for 5 mana. Will it be played over upgrade? Dunno.
Yeah, but at the moment control is a joke, everything is midrange to combo and some aggro
