    That's a wonderous turn 3 play, combo'd with the coin - lots of strong 3 drops this expansion

    Decent minion, aggressive stat line with a useful battlecry - this should see play!

    Bonus, the flavor text killed me:
    Hot take: We need LESS cowbell. Much, much less.

    Small to medium board clear on a big stick? That's the type of minion Demon Warlock likes messing with!

    If only the weapon without text would see play, I don't see why this gimmicky draw engine wouldn't have a shot.
    Might need tuning, I think it's a bit sharp.

    They definitely seem to be pushing a divine shield heavy archetype. We'll see if it goes anywhere.

    Feel like they are trying to compensate for removing Paladin's secrets ; a metric-ton of Divine shields is the substitute!

    Think this is just great for Paladin, reinforcing the divine shield identity and providing a must-kill draw engine!

    The only bug that was intentional.

    Thankfully, this remove a friendly divine shield and not just any - as having Paladin stealing a divine shield from you and getting a 5/5 elemental for doing so would have been beyond unfair..!

    This could be a great board-reload for Hunter, if it didn't already meant that you have wasted 4-5 big minions already ... Just can't see this being a game-winning ingredient

    The Stranglethorn mentality is to be happy with the bare necessities.

    On paper, it has lots of potential, but in practice, you'd be sacrificing your Turn 5 to do nothing of importance - losing tempo - just so your Turn7 could really swing hard? Kinda of a hard pill to swallow for Hunter, whom usually excels at midrange tactics...

    Control Priest can definitely make use of that, consistently - but I thought Team5 wanted to stray away from mana cheating gimmicks?

    Poison Bloom was accused of plagiarizing the "Ooh, how long can this go on (ooh yeah)" hook from an old-school musical group called The Saronite Chain Gang.

    Priest already has sticky minions, now they may also play yours ^^

    (...) Will probably see play in every Mage deck just because it requires no deck-building to make it good.

    That was exactly my train of thoughts as well; why would any mage not auto-include this in their deck? Drawing 3 spells and picking one to double up on is simply great

    Its 3 mana - so not too expansive - but to really benefit from this, you'd want to play a couple tribes first, countering the tempo you could have benefited from ... not impressed.

    Really not feeling like the new warrior menagerie package is that competitive. 
    I want nothing but to be wrong, as Warrior been dead for already too long - but ...

    (5) mana conditional 7/7 isn't bad, but doesn't seem nearly enough for Warriors to secure their spots back in Standard.

    DH weapons in standard after rotation + core set change: Flamereaper, Glaivetar, Souleater's Scythe, Bone Glaive, Calamity's Grasp, Magnifying Glaive and Aldrachi Warblades. (...

    I was wondering exactly that - thanks for updating the list and giving us a fair overview of what to expect!
