This card is quite interestingly designed since it gives out spells at specific costs. Mage is certainly the best contender to use this card since 1 mana spell pool in mage is quite good. Even a simple Ray of Frost gained from this can wreck boards in mage's favor, and if you don't get that you have Magic Trick and Tome of Intellect to try and get it.
Might see play in highlander decks or specific spell heavy decks. Its worth noting that you can get the SoU quest from this card (needs confirmation). Quests like [Hearthstone Card (raid the temple) Not Found] is rubbish in standard but in some long games there might yet be some value in getting that out of a random effect.
So far it seems mage and rogue will get the best out of this card. If they can survive through the mid game anyway.
Good card but in the wrong class. Comparable to Plated Beetle but with an additional effect and its a battlecry, but that wasn't played in any warrior decks. The armour gain is smaller than Shield Block and it doesn't draw you a card. Whether this ever goes into a warrior deck will depend heavily on whether lackey value in warrior is good enough to win games. In my opinion, it doesn't.
I would consider this card if it was a 1/1 gain 3 armour and a lackey for 2 mana. But for 3, its just not covering any slots in warrior decks.
With all the buffs given to paladin and the poor card draw the class suffers from, this will be an auto include in all dragon paladin decks. The lifesteal is probably not going to win games but healing for 2, with a potential 4 in some matches, it might get you far enough to play actual heal cards to stabilize.
Might be a decent card for healadin, if this ever gets off.
Probably the cutest card in the set. Why wouldn't this be an auto include? Its only true drawback is that its a class card so not all classes can bask in its cuteness
Slow AOE but since it the effect doesn't kill your own minions its absolutely crazy against aggro. Almost holding aggro decks to ransom over hold two silences or they simply just don't win. The effect is very very slow, but if you're not going to die the next turn you play this then this card is just too much stuff in one.
Of course, it can get silenced and its not a taunt. And that is probably why this card is unlikely to attract an angry mob demanding for a nerf.
Provides a decent set of stat but a delayed one. Being a legendary is probably the only weakness of this card otherwise deathrattle priest can actually get somewhere this expansion with two of this in the deck. But since you've only got one, and the effect is actually worse than cube, this is not going to be a placeholder for a deathrattle deck.
Still, if you can draw this consistently enough then its still a good value play. But probably too slow in a meta with so many other broken cards.
Very powerful weapon, but will only see its true power as long as weapons are not meta in the next standard.
If it ever gets like Waggle Pick level of busted like in RoS standard then expect weapon removal in every deck. Or better yet, they might just steal the weapon and leave you crying.
Good in heavy cost decks against aggro. If this had taunt it would be almost game ending tempo against aggro decks. But more likely its just not consistent enough to see play.
Poor man's Doomsayer. But there are also some strategic use to it. If your minions have divine shield or otherwise can survive this its just a cheap delayed AOE device that saves you 5 hp if it fails.
Given lifesteal, this more or less can put you back to 30. Or if given poison then its an actual doomsayer that can't kill divine shielded minions. Might have some potential for freeze mage to return to meta given that they now have more AOE to combo with freeze effects.
That it is 1 mana cheaper cannot be underestimated.
Very good card but most likely too slow for midrange decks unless played at 4, and assuming you've got good card draw. Have potential for combo decks, but overall its just another kaleseth card, with a similar OPness when played on curve.
Probably see more play in highlander decks with at least 8 dragons. Without good card draw this card is probably too slow to do anything.
This is pretty insane. 5 mana tutor 2 cards is pretty good. And since you will likely know what card you want this will just draw them. Easy way to get Shadow of Death out, and with the new transmogrifier card you can rid the hakkar bloods and bombs with this combo.
For versatility, and value, this card is just an auto include. Too bad rogue sucks at board clear though, so this may just be too slow to be used on 5.
Slots neatly into cyclone mage but the dragon requirement is a little iffy. The question is whether there is enough space to put in at least 6 dragons into a cyclone deck, or otherwise Magic Trick takes the spot instead.
Otherwise its still a decent card to include into midrange dragon mage or highlander mage. Very versatile card.
Comparable with Inkmaster Solia and this is easier to use and that card saw play. Certainly an inclusion into most decks except for cyclone, and even then this looks good enough for it.
Lets not forget that you can play the spell the same turn you play this, a better card than Naga Sand Witch and this saw play.
That this is a rare card only adds to how insane this card is.
And not to mention that your opponent can 'hatch' it for you, or steal it via mind control tech. Its only on the margins, but so much stats on one card cannot be easily ignored.
Its a dragon, and that's probably the most valuable thing on this stick.
Decent tech card against highlander decks, OTK paladin, and quest druid.
But its going to be quite a hard call to see two of this being in pro decks. Maybe it will find a way into face beast hunter, 4 attack is still quite okay. Other than that, its a card that quite mediocre.
Something that should have been printed ages ago when we were playing and watching 100 armor, 2 hours long battles of control warrior mirrors.
A lot of sleepless nights and hearthstone commentators would not have died in vain.
Oh, and it nerfs thousand armor druid and giant paladin in wild. My tears cannot be held back any more.

I'm going to put this in all my paladin decks. When I lose I wouldn't care one bit so long as I get to play this at least once

Draw Shirvallah: your opponent has just been memed
card art looks decent enough. 4 doomsayers in every combo deck now.

Meme card at its best. Funny that it can transform into itself though.
If chameleos didn't see play this one doesn't really stand much of a chance isn't it.

If fluffy frosty is the name of the card when the expansion hits, I'm going to be crafting a golden. I can feel the power of fluff in my veins.
