I'm disappointed with all the explorers except Elise. Finely is too similar to his former self (just upgraded). Brann summons a legendary that has been in the game since the beginning. Reno is a new version of Meteorologist. Where is the creativity? Where are the new game changing mechanics? Revealing all 4 major characters on the same day seems like a mistake also. The final reveal could have featured one of these characters. Get ready for a couple of weeks of filler commons and rares with fewer legendaries in between to break up the monotony.
I am getting a very bad feeling about this expansion. I liked the quality and creativity of legendaries in Rise of Shadows compared to what I've seen so far. The most creative thing I see so far in SoU is the druid's quest with 'Unspent Mana'. I am so glad that it was not a keyword because those tend to be under-utilized and then abandoned after their initial expansion. Speaking of keywords, Reborn seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Taking one of hearthstone's most abusive mechanics and making it a keyword will cause saltyness on a level I can't even imagine. This is the only keyword that I do not want to return ever.
I'm pretty disappointed with Reno. I don't consider this a legendary effect even if it is slightly better than Meteorologist. I guess I will try this in a Highlander C'thun wild deck for the memes. Creativity: 2/10
1. Change the purchasable heroes (Allerra, Mangi, and Medihv) to include 10-20 classic packs. Award all players who have already purchased it the same amount of packs. I want to purchase these heroes and cardbacks but cannot justify purchasing only cosmetics in a game that requires me to pay money for actual content 3 times a year to stay up to date. Please put a rotate option in the hero screen for classes that have multiple hero skins. Any kind of variety helps keep the game fresh. I don't want to have to keep going through loading screens and menus just to change a skin. It is cumbersome.
2. Do not be afraid to bring back older keywords. Even if only 1-2 Inspire or Overkill cards show up in every other expansion it still adds variety and creates more deck building challenges.
3. Either change how the resurrection mechanic works or change the priest cards that utilize this broken mechanic! Big priest sucks!
I can see this working with Grim Rally and The Soularium in standard aggro decks. It kills those annoying taunts and gives you worthless crap to destroy and buff everything else. As for wild, it gives synergy to cards like Dark Bargain and Unwilling Sacrifice decks. Also not bad with Shriek and similar effects for discard Warlock. In the end this card might be too fair or slow to see much play in Standard.

I can't stand the Reborn mechanic already. At least this is not a neutral. I don't like priest having this card though.
I can see this being included in a highlander deck with max weapon removal. I do believe many if not all classes will be getting highlander support.
