    Really strong draw mechanic, and great synergy with Fly Off the Shelves.

    This looks like a sweet AOE option that will more often than not clear the board. Price is right, too!

    Giving this 5 stars simply because of its combo power with Raza the Resealed. Going to be tons of fun!

    This is just disgusting. Did they learn nothing from previous iterations of this? Thankfully, without Darkbishop Benedictus, this is less likely to be quite as toxic, but you can still use Reno, Lone Ranger for probably infinite damage. Also, Heartbreaker Hedanis!

    Enables Everything Must Go! on a whole new level, plus it's just a ton of potential draw and lots of Pirates attacking immediately. Quite good!

    This looks like an amazing board control option. Synergizes with other Pirate-based cards like Shoplifter Goldbeard, and could even become a 4/4 through The Crystal Cove. Nice!

    Solid draw plus coin generation. I see no downsides here, nor any broken possibilities. Will likely not run well in a Wishing Well deck due to the pirate restriction.

    The fact that this costs is a clear indication of how broken discounts like this can be. Not only are you overpaying for a 4/3, but that steep cost means you can't abuse this too early in the game. The card itself looks really powerful and probably well-balanced, but then the mini version comes along. 1 mana for a 3 mana discount, plus possible combo with Sonya Waterdancer. Yikes.

    Decent weapon overall, and some good synergy with of the other pirate cards. This works well with The Crystal Cove and Shoplifter Goldbeard, as the 1/1 you summon could be a 4/4, then you'd get another 4/4.

    This card looks very strong, and I'm sure will enable all kinds of powerful combos. The flavor makes no sense to me, though. Why would a shoplifter summon attack dudes?

    This looks like a great card! Works well with Mini-versions of Miniaturize cards, as well as Rogue's many 1 cost spells and minions. Breakdance anyone?

    The Crystal Cove makes me wonder how much drama could be avoided if they designed more Locations instead of "rest of the game" effects.

    I agree! Almost every "rest of the game" effect we've seen has become problematic at some point. The Crystal Cove looks pretty weak to me, but Locations in general give you a nice ability to set something up across multiple turns. Even things like "Your next spell this turn" or "Your next Battlecry" are good because they have a limit and are therefore harder to abuse.

    I should probably wait to review this card until we've seen what new draw cards Rogue will get, but right now it looks uninspiring. Even at half cost, summoning 2 random 4-drops seems mid. If you can discount it down to 0 or 1, it could be pretty nice.

    Decent support for Burgle Rogue, I like it. Discover is way better than "generate random," and you get an extra copy without having to jump through any hoops, like Finale or Infuse.

    This looks very underwhelming to me. Sure, Crystal Core was OP and problematic and got nerfed, but this? I can't think of any powerful targets.

    I love Miniaturize, I think it's almost always going to powerful. Magtheridon, Unreleased immediately comes to mind for this card. You won't mind losing his massive stats if it means you can get those damage bursts for cheap. I'm sure there are some other Demons that you would hate to find with this, but since it's Discover, odds are you'll get at least one good option.

    Love the flavor of this card! I also think it's going to be really good! The pool is limited (if I read the post right), so you're more than likely to get something you really want, and they're pre-nerf!

    I don't know how this counts as a "mishap" as it just does good stuff. Solid removal plus possible healing. Will be particularly nice with some spell damage. Call back to Combustion?

    Pretty nice weapon. Good attack value and sweet discount effect. Looking forward to turn 6 Magtheridon, Unreleased.

    Seems decent overall. Nice combo for Lesser Opal Spellstone, especially. Of course, Demon Hunter loves attacking so this will always be useful.
