    Could it finally work? I’ve wanted Dragon Paladin to be a thing for so long.

    Some classes this year are all over the place from this year's releases. 

    Demon Hunter - Barrens (Deathrattle), Stormwind (Card draw, Fel), Alterac (Big Demon, Token)

    Druid - Barrens (Beast, Nature, Taunt), Stormwind (Hero Attack, Token), Alterac (Ramp, Beast, Choose One)

    These are just two examples but it seems like this across the board. 

    On one hand, it's nice to have plenty of options to create decks. But at the same time, it is frustrating as the continued sprinkle here and there will never make anything super synergistic like Pirate Warrior.

    Frozen Buckler makes more sense now for Captain Galvangar synergy.

    Love big spell discounts with Balinda Stonehearth and Iceblood Tower discounted or cast for free with Clumsy Courier for a big spell centric deck could see some play (still need that one huge spell payoff for this archetype to make it make sense for a control Mage deck).

    Was thinking around the idea that everyone is having a great time slamming back brews but next day, all hell will break loose. A full board buff for both you and your opponent that pays dividends for both players. If the Warlock isn't finishing them this turn, your opponent gets to take advantage of the buffs. Then the party comes to a crash the next turn when everyone realizes the party is over and now have to deal with the hangover.

    I'm in the same boat but I want Winter Fury Malfurion. Hopefully these will eventually head to being purchase with gold or bring back these bundles as individual skins in a year or so. One can hope.

    The artwork looks like comedian Paul F. Tompkins.

    Yes that is a drawback for sure but most of the time you are using your mulligan to look for Wild Growth and Overgrowth

    Pretty bonkers of a card. And with Druid, 8 mana isn’t really 8 mana as they can get this guy down pretty early. The highroll possibilities for this one is extremely good.

    From the two cards revealed for Hunter so far, going to speculate the quest will revolve around "x amount of friendly minions die" or "summon x amount of beasts".

    That is a win condition for attrition Priest. And with the way Priest can discover resources, should always be able to find the mana cost that they are missing. And really it’s not requiring too much deck construction other than the fact Priest lack card draw. It’s just slow but if there is a class that can play the long game, it would be Priest

    Thank you OP as I wasn't even thinking about the pity timers for these new packs. Opened 3 Standard and got Kiri, Chosen of Elune and then opened one Wild pack and got Anomalus. May not be the greatest legendary cards to pull but for only 400 gold, getting two was a sweet payoff.

    <Edit> Got caught up on not using Druid, didn't realize it was class specific challenge. Updated artwork that looks more Warlock.

    That portrait looks amazing. Was planning on getting the tavern pass this time around and this helps seal it.

    Liv needs to be on these streams here on out. She has been the best Team5 member since Brode.

    Regis was also a great pick. I didn't mind Kibler but nice to see a new face. Would be happy if these is our team this year for reveal streams.

    Efficiency champion right here. Targeted resurrection, Whirlwind effect which in turn is a Frenzy trigger. Damn can’t wait to see what other Frenzy minions we get with this one

    Great with Animated Broomstick but besides that application, don't seeing it work out as well.

    Vulpera Scoundrel saw play. This is very similar if not better as the Poisonous makes it a threat to remove anything.

    Hopefully the token beast off this is 2 mana.

    Dire Frenzy seems like it will be important for this new era of Hunters (value based builds) and being able to shuffle in 3 cheap Rush minions with +3/+3 is great. Toss in cards like Selective Breeder to find those buffed versions or Barak Kodobane to draw the spell in the first place, I like the way the new Beast Hunter can be played.

     

    <Edit> Tokens posted and unfortunately they increase as well as the attack. Not as excited as I was for the scenario above but still think the card is strong on its own.

    Secrets we know will be there from last year and Core set:

    Avenge - Great card even not in a Secret Paladin build

    Noble Sacrifice - Always felt it was a decent stall, especially against big decks that have only one or two minions on board at a time.

    Oh My Yogg! - Can easily see this card see more play if Secrets get more support.

    Reckoning - Seems like one of the best new cards being added to Core set.

    Feel like with one, maybe two more Secrets, we can finally see a Secret Paladin existed in some capacity.

    Overlord Runthak is a neutral way to buff hand but classes that have spells for buffing (Rogue w/ Cold Blood seems super fun) can make this card even more nuts. Love the design and expect to see him in a lot of decks.
