No new totems, but I can feel that they care much about totems by printing it on every different expansions. I hope in one day there will be a totem set (That doesn't solely support even-shaman).
It hurts my eye when I try to compare it with Voidcaller, but I think it has something to do with new nasty demons than just a Voidlord. Warlocks dont have many strong lategame demons throughout all expansions, Demon Hunter has already good big demons now, and might receive more. I believe there are some good reasons to have very slow voidcaller for Illidan. Very weak against silence (No wonder Spellbreaker got removed...)
Very expensive, but looks cool though. I have always dream of control hunter, but this is as slow as Eye of the Storm. I hope it will be a playable card.
EDIT: This can go face, I actually think its a great finisher after your opponent uses "destroy all minions" board clear if they dont have a deathrattle minions. Not bad at all.
Libram of Justice gives me interest enough to play this archetype, everything else looks really cool too. I hope it receives one more Libram card/support
I was really hoping for a good elemental card for shaman, this one seems to mediocre for both control and midrange decks. My most unfavorite part of shaman class is adding more AoE damage to all minions instead of enemy minions. But 4/6 stat is what it makes it up, and might be better than Dreadlord.
EDIT: Turns out this card also deals damage to itself. I changed my mind, its not a great card.
New classes means more artwork and balance changes consideration are needed. Although, I still believe in the hope of more new classes, if the developer team wants it for developing a full dream of WoW come true.
The only card I can compare it is Sap, this 4/3 minion can maybe help you forward to maintain your tempo or delaying. Sap just requires your opponent to spend mana again and can replay their battlecry.
I'd like to say that this card is fair, just a bit too strong itself, but I'm confident with saying that this card is fair. For example, playing Maiev Shadowsong for slowing down a big enemy is actually a downside for you if not planned well accordingly (No board clear or finishing the game fast means you're screwed pretty much it). 4 mana temporarily removal with a body is still too good anyways. This card seems versatile overall.
Very good set, I had a very similar mechanic except it works like Bear Trap secret. This is just better and the expansion looks super fun aside from balance.
[Hearthstone Card (Leeroy jenkin) Not Found]'s downside is getting less relevant each time the meta becomes faster. The whelps have become a joke now.
As I'm playing wild casual, I haven't seen Leeroy jenkins often. If the standard is having leeroy problem, I guess it's time for him to meet his old (and overpowered) friends (Sylvanas Windrunner, etc.)
Malygos might be not HoF'd, although he does ruins the design rule to make fun cheap spells, I still think its nice to have spell damage +5 minion in the core set. Having him is a still huge downside to design new cards though.
To my belief right now, I feel they are a big part of contribution to the powercreep, as they might be important enough to stay on the same level with other high value cards (like hero cards and others).
A 2 mana 3/4 with even a Rush is acceptable nowadays, and I haven't seen anybody (and myself) whine about it. Some cards also basically holding a package of many cards in it, like hero cards, a card attached with discovery mechanic, and more. Currently with the new cards we have, they now got a lot of value as almost twice as the vanilla and old cards. Not all of rush minions are that, but very close.
So now I don't really know what Blizzard are going to do when rush mechanic becomes part of the game now, as the powercreeps demands more strong overall cards, with having high stat points or a value generators, that's my concern.
I do heard they want to avoid high powercreeps (stated when they done some recent nerfs this year, if I remember correctly), but I doubt they're going to avoid that.
I actually don’t mind if it’s not a pirate card, they could have change artwork like Omega Defender.
The “Deal 1 damage to all characters” doesn’t fit well for pirates, but maybe it’s good that we need to balance out pirates card pool from getting them good generated ones.
I like this card set a lot. About battlemedic, I think it is s very fair card, stats like this doesn't matter anyways because of some high value minions in the past, like Savannah Highmane and Sylvanas Windrunner. Good card.
And another thing, one card I don't like is prosper in peace, my own work would be "Draw a card for each friendly minion you control with 3 Health or more ", I just wanted to make a little bit better, just my preference.
The rest looks okay, Alonsus Faol looks quite intimidating, but if I recall it, legendary cards in the classic sets were very powerful, so it seems perfectly fine to me.
1 Attack of this minion and a big health to prevent card drawing makes it feel bad, so what are the ways can we really do with it? I can only think in giving it a boost with attack buff or trading well in early game, and without getting silenced (which is rare).

Good news for those who dislikes the card, it has been changed to “to all other minions” instead of its hurting itself too.
Source: Hearthstone subreddit has shown a correct card image by new link, and this card was not a final version, including video footage.
Can be compared with Despicable Dreadlord.

I really like this card, either its good or bad card, this can be atleast a nice quality of pack filler.

Yogg is Great.
Dr. boom MUST be unnerfed... no way its going to see some play in wild at 9 mana.
The only meme card I hate to face...

Great rework, I want to give this new set a try!
I don't wanna believe in seeing this card playing, I really like the Elemental Evocation idea though, but it's not gonna be a thing.
My idea would be going with Houndmaster Shaw, but that card didn't see a play too for a while, so that too will not gonna happen.
I think it's as bad as Green Jelly, severe understated. I wish it was 3/5.
Doesn't say discover a copy of it, so I think you get to draw one. (EDIT: Someone wrote it before me, nevermind)
Still looks okay, but priest still needs a treatment.

It looks okay and playable in a good way.
