    Thank the gods that there aren't many ways to reduce card costs for Hunter.  Tradeable is good... the 10 mana makes this really difficult to work into a deck even with things like Audio Amplifier.  There is a LOT of support for running big beasts, the question is will the new meta accommodate to a control hunter?

    EW!  That nasty little Annoy-o-Tron that paladin drops on turn 1 will give them a 1/2 first turn with a 5/5 second turn.  That's gross and totally needs to be reviewed.

    I like this card for control.  It is like the Vision of Darkness only it can grab any spell and as long as you play it last, not a problem, you get to do it again.

    I'll be honest here, the fact that Flag Runner never saw any play makes me very doubtful this can. Cards that only get better when you lose board is technically never a good thing, as we have found out later in alterac.

    But I'll give this one a chance, because even as a 4/4 rush minion that followed up from SECURITY!! on 4, that's still decent enough result. Probably wont see play, but definitely a maybe.

     

    I think this has a potential step above Flag Runner as it is a battlecry vs a static effect.  When a minion has a static effect, they tend to be targets right out the gate.  Vs a Battlecry is more difficult to be dealt with.

     

    I think the caveat to this is that it will rarely, if ever, be played on the curve.  It will take board presence for at least one turn to be useful.  That or a number of low cost rush summons, which there are plenty of in the game.

    Mid-Late game stuff with Deathrattle support.  Worth using, but would need to focus on Deathrattles

    Is R&D trying to make up for the misconception that Unholy needed more help?  A Zentimo effect for one mana is wicked awesome

    This seems like a perfectly balanced minion.  Honestly, it asks for 5 corpses with Unholy... that is beyond easy to do with that rune.  The stat lines are meh, especially when you only can play this effectively after something with a great deathrattle has dropped dead.  Combine it with a late game Brann combo, and that could be a backup kill for the deck.

    IF you are able to wipe their board or seriously hinder it when you cast this... then it's epic.

    If there was a way to hit multiple things with each use of your hero power, then this would be dumb... but it's not, so it's situational at best for me

    This is amazing.  2 mana to heal only your minions 3 health?  That's a solid deal in and of itself with all the reborn undead Priest already packs.  Then you leave a spooky scary minion on the board that they need to deal with on top of that?  Seriously?  What's not to like about this?

    Virtually unplayable.  9 mana to get a subpar minion with a mediocre effect?  No thanks.

    If there was a greater target for Silence effect, I've not seen it in a while.  Granted 5 mana to continue bringing it back onto the board can be daunting in the current meta... just look at Deathbringer Saurfang.  However with ways to cheat it out, like Cavalry Horn, it could be a major pain mid-late game with the added lifesteal effect it imparts on the incoming minion... ugh... just thinking about Brasswing getting dropped as you run this into something big, gain 3 life, and perhaps wipe, if not get a lot of life back, from the board.

    This seems lack luster when there already is a cheaper version for buffs that is evergreen.  The treant option is nice, if there was another Goru the Mightree type of support, but it would need to offer something a little more.. like maybe Untapped Potential.  Other than that, this seems like achievement support at this point

    I hate to say it given that there have only been neutral and a handful of reveals... i'm really  less excited about this expansion.  It just doesn't feel like they gave a shit on some of these cards.

    I really like this, solely because of the trade value.  You can postpone it for later, get a different card, and have a targeted kill for minions that can get around the "elusive/evasive" feature.

    I can totally see control decks utilizing this, but not an overpowering card

    You know that someone was thinking, "You know what sounds good?  Something with Charge that will be abused."  

     

    Someone REALLY wanted to use Northshire Farmer really bad with this one.

    So I am curious, if it will be Dead Man's Hand and shuffle each card into your deck, or if it will be one card that when drawn will put them into your hand?  

     

    I cannot imagine that it would be the latter, but I am curious to it.

    This is such a wonderful card to be made.  I love these "for the rest of the game" effects.  None so far have been overwhelming or really abusive, but have added a lot of flavor to the games.  

     

    This one in particular though, I am thinking that it will see more use in Wild than Standard, unless we start seeing things like Lightning Bloom again
