The only thing that Warlock misses now is a great way to heal.
Plot Twist with Fel Lord Betrug is sweet but if Bomb Warrior is popular (and with those Highlander decks around it should be) it could backfire most of the times
Star Aligner has an easier condition to achieve and still has seen very little play.
I have the feeling that this card will win the "crappy neutral epic" award after Gurubashi Offering and Holomancer (yeah, these cards actually exist), but hey, we haven't seen all the new cards yet. There must be something that will justify this minion.
Also, Blizz gave reddit what looks like a complete meme card. I see what you did there.
Maybe it's a bit too early to say it, but it seems to me that this will be crappy neutral epic of the set (Gurubashi Offering and Holomancer send their regards)
Too difficult the condition and too little the payoff.
Hey, is it 5 for each one? Well, it's a lot better now, but still difficult to accomplish (Star Aligner has seen very little play and has a condition easier to achieve)
To be honest, the card didn't impress me at all at first glance: "bad statted and with a random effect" was my first thought".
Then I went to read some comments and realized that I was wrong. Compare this card to Hench-Clan Burglar: for 1 mana, you get 1 more stat and you trade the Discover effect for an immediate impact on the board (Rush). Seen from this point of view, this minion is actually decent, if not more.
Given these premises, I think Bazaar Mugger should make the cut in at least a couple of Rogue decks. The problem is that nowadays there's another 5 drop which is an auto include in every deck. We'll see.
Scarlet Webweaver has "combo" written all over it. May works as well as a value generator tho (4 mana. King Krush, 0 mana Tundra Rhino or 1 mana Savannah Highmane, and imagine if they are buffed by a previous Dire Frenzy: at this point Big Hunter may even be a thing).
On the other handclaw, Wild Bloodstinger is an excellent combo disruptor and I could see play even like a tempo 6 drop due to the really high health. This is a big bad Dirty Rat folks. Moreover, playing it with Houndmaster Shaw already on the board is sweet.
Since Highlanders decks typically tend to be Control archetypes, I expect the 5th card to be a neutral tool that helps to stabilize the game.
Something on the line of Kazakus, as someone above me mentioned, but not necessarily with the same role. I mean, Kazakus was pretty cool and allowed a lot of singleton decks to be viable, but maybe this time we will get something less "broken"/meta defining.
We know that we will be getting 4 new Legendaries around that time, but we don't know which ones. Thus, every site chose a different picture to resemble this event.
To be fair, we could be getting all the four Explorers in a single shot, but I really don't know, we'll see.

Yeah... uhm... about that...
I saw a post on Reddit asking the same question. They probably forgot lol

Yoooo that makes a lot more sense now

Excuse me sir, how is this card bad?
It's a 6 mana 6/6 with taunt or a 6 mana restore more than a third of your life total, with the effects combined if you complete Untapped Potential.
I dare to say that this is one of the cards that will make Choose One Druid playable
The new HP needs a friendly minion to be in play, but it's a lot better than the basic one.
If you target deathrattle minions (Mechanical Whelp, Mechano-Egg, Cairne Bloodhoof,...) or the new Reborn ones, you can easily make really sticky threats.
This quest doesn't justify all the previously released 1-health minions though.

We'll see
That's a really solid card
Looking forward to see the animation on this one
Not necessarily: King Krush's 8 damage target is not decided by a coinflip. It's 100% your face
When you thought Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk was a bit too much... sbem 7 mana big daddy King Krush!
Gotta appreciate the non-spoiler thumbnail of the article

That's why though.
That moment when you regret not having Nat Pagle in your collection PepeHands
Bolster Warrior comes back stronger than ever POGGERS
Pulling aBoulderfist Ogre on turn 2 is pretty good I'd say
