We've got another 7 Darkmoon Faire Mini Set card reveals to share!
Card reveals are happening every hour today! Stay tuned to the homepage so you don't miss out!
Mistrunner - Shaman Overload Minion
Quote From Sinti That is one scary tempo card. Almost Bonemare level, but a lot cheaper. Turn 5 will again be one to look out for to clear your opponent's board, if they're Shaman, to not get roflstomped. The Overload (1) means you can smoothly curve out into another Mistrunner :D This card will see plenty play imho.
Conjure Mana Biscuit - Delicious Mage Spell
Quote From Sinti You can basically save up Mana now, and use it to trigger spell synergy in a process. This will surely give birth to some crazy combos. Maybe Kael'thas Sunstrider Mage can make a comeback? Well, anything is possible, more so since Mage can discover this multiple times, thought in that scenario, you might want an actual card. It is definitely a card to look out for.
Imprisoned Phoenix - Spell Damage for Mages and Shamans
Quote From ShadowsOfSense The return of the Dormant mechanic! This time on an interesting minion type - does it count as playing an Elemental on your previous turn if it enters Dormant? I don't think that's particularly relevant to the power level of the card, but an interesting question nonetheless.
2 mana 2/3 is very fair stats for a Vanilla creature, so all the Dormant power is being placed in that Spell Damage +2. Having a source of Spell Damage that you know is coming up soon will allow you to manage your plays a little with it in mind - perhaps holding off on that board clear until you can really let them have it - but the real power is in setting up for a future kill turn.
Drop two of these and you're signalling to your opponent that they're on a clock, unless they think they can survive 10 damage Fireballs to the face. Instead of having to manage your mana all in one turn, you're setting aside some mana on an earlier turn to free you up to go all out later on. 10 mana gets you 26 damage from two Fireballs and a Frostbolt with two of these out - best hope you can win before then!

Quote From Soon Come back later for our review on this card.
Guidance - Overload Value for Shamans and Druids
Quote From sule A weaker Discover effect that can potentially pay dividends if you're willing to pay the price. I say it's a weaker Discover because it gives you fewer options to choose from, even if you have the added choice of taking both spells. It is better than "Add two random spells to your hand (Overload: 1)" because it gives you the choice of not taking the Overload if you only like one spell. I think I like this in a lot of Druid decks (Token, Guardians, Big) just because at worst it can fish for a possibly useful spell and the value of taking two spells for the cost of one is incredibly appealing. Shaman could conceivably run this in a deck that cares about Overload, since in those decks you'd be adding two cards to your hand while enabling your Overload payoffs.
All in all, this looks extremely flexible and incredibly fun to play with.
Resizing Pouch - So Many Possibilities!
Quote From BloodMefist I feel like I've seen this as a custom card for years, and now it's finally made its way into the game. This is very hard to evaluate without seeing it in practice and might drastically change in average viability as sets rotate in and out, changing the Discover pool by quite a bit. This has no direct synergies with any current archetype and would likely be the first card removed in a decklist, but its very flexible in slower decks as it can semi-reliably nab you something good since Discover effects are limited to Neutral and your class. In Hunter I imagine it will primarily be used in Highlander, but something slow like a Value or Combo deck might make use of it. I think this benefits Druid a lot more than Hunter though, since mana-ramp means you can Discover large threats if you haven't drawn any of your own. Being a cheap spell also helps fuel some of Druid's engines and strategies.
Runaway Blackwing - Its Nine o Clock Here
Quote From Demonxz95 So you thought you could escape Ragnaros the Firelord? Not quite because he's back. Back with +1/+1, one extra damage and he can attack. The ability can't target face unlike Ragnaros, which is better if you want to control the board, although this also means that you can't finish the game with it or summon a bunch of them at once to lethal your opponent from nowhere.
In any deck that wishes to cheat minions out, or summon tiny copies of big minions from space, this card will be in those decks.

I’m assuming no Choose synergies for Guidance? It would have been a nice little bonus for quest druid to get both cards without overload.
mana biscuits look scary
Sorry, OutOfCards, but I really don't care for this new format with the commentary between cards.
I'm sure you love that it lets you push more ads, but I find it very annoying. I won't be seeing any ads at all if I get my card spoilers from another site.
I would rather see all the cards at once at the top of the page, with all the commentary underneath. Better yet, put the commentary on the card discussion page where it belongs.
We're sorry to hear that. We were trying something new, since our team has grown, so we can push out our initial thoughts more promptly, tho cards came first, so that's why there were placeholders for the reviews at first, of course. Your feedback is noted.
/edit: well, it seems that Flux basically echoed my sentiment, or I his :)
I'm sorry you feel that way, FortyDust =(
This has nothing to do with ads. If I wanted to push more ads, we would have made individual articles for each card reveal and then done separate articles for each class and their spoilers. (In-article ads are certainly nice, but they are nothing compared to what we have in the header that everyone sees on a page load). Hell, we woulda gotten better SEO if we divided stuff up better too!
The reason for this format was primarily because space for content is going to be very tight over the next couple of days so by including our thoughts now, it lets us save that space for other articles that are planned. It's also a nice little test to see what people think about it. If it's popular, we'll maybe attempt to do the same thing during an actual reveal season. We have so many more staff members now that it makes doing real-time reviews easier.
We will be doing a full recap of the mini set a little later today which will have the cards in a more normal gallery format organized by class which will feel less chaotic.
A.F. KAY IS ON A CARD! OH I LOVE IT !
Love the reference!
Mistrunner reminds me a lot of Bonemare, and seems even better than the pre-nerf version, just because it comes down 2 turns earlier.
I actually forgot that Bonemare does more or less the same thing. Maybe hope for a midrange shaman? Well, this card may be reason enough.
Thats what i said! (well, review not there yet :d) But yes, this card will be scary, if shaman has pretty much anything on the board.
- Mini rag in the form of Runaway Blackwing. Too bad it cant hit face and cost 1 more.
- Resizing Pouch will be one of the most powerful and skill testing cards to exist. Better start getting those list of cards ready.
- Don't know why Guidance uses the word "look" and not discover. Is this then a draw card? If it is, then its completely broken. Likely its just another way of spelling discover 2 spells.
- Combo mage will make a comeback with both mana biscuit and Imprisoned Phoenix. Mana biscuit is in particularly a crazy card. At least it doesn't just straight up give you 2 mana crystals.
Discover always gives 3 options. Guidance only looks at 2 cards.
It's because Discover always showcases three cards to choose from. Even in case of Vulpera Scoundrel that shows you four choices, her Discover effect is still showcasing three options, and she needs to mention her Mystery Choice seperately.
With the dragon, at this poitn why si rag even still hof'd lol. its 1mana les sbut legednary, doesnt gurante hit minions and cant attack.
And being dragon is always atleats somewhat usefull to acitvate hold dragon synergys.
they put Rag into hof because it was played in almost every single deck since the game came out, the Dragon on the other hand will rotate in over a year.
Resizing Pouch is 100% King Krush on 10 mana for Hunter
or "Fizzy Elemental", "Ysiel Windsinger", "Ysera, Unleashed" or "Cenarius" for Druid
Are you certain it can only discover class cards? There are quite a few neutral 9-drops.
Except this is a druid/hunter shared card. Demon Hunter can't get this unless you start dealing with RNG bs.
