Love Everlasting - 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.
I disagree about Audio Amplifier. Many powerful combo pieces were nerfed by 1 mana so they couldn't be used, for example, with Brann. And now this cards "unnerfs" them all. I'm curious about this card fate.
It reminds me that brawl where you give opponent your 15 card deck. Best class for that was warlock with tons of self-dmg/discard cards. Even better was DK before giving corpse counter for everybody.
The One-Amalgam Band - I think there won't be any menagerie deck, but this card could be nice choice to discover, it reminds me Siamat (actually, how does it synergize with other amalgams?)
Void Virtuoso - this one is nice, it negates cons from many warlock cards or HP and it costs only 1 mana. Good that Bloodbloom was nerfed or it would be part of some sick combo.
Together they cost 11 mana, beetle hits the face, Nadox kills it and give +10 attack to your other minions. If u have something on board it's OTK most of the time. Good that cards like Menagerie Warden or Stonetusk Boar aren't in standard.
Death Beetle - that'll be useless next expansion xD Buuut... this card could suggest that druid will get new cards which increase his mana limit.
Life from Death - come on, Nourish draws 3 cards and costs 5 mana. Now wait one turn and play it for 1 mana, or not because you can increase your mana crystals with something and you will still have mana to play this. Candidate to nerf, infuse (8) or (10) or (20)?
Frostfin Chomper - dunno about that, it's better in elemental deck than murlock deck, but there is no viable elemental shaman in standard for now. In murlock deck it can be used with amalgams.
Blazing Transmutation - evolve with discover! No more "the end is coming" or 8 mana 1/1! 5 stars!
Cold Storage - for those who wanted to know how much is worth Moorabi effect. But thats powerful card, equivalent of Windchill, you can copy powerful enemy minon or your own instead (like Astalor, the Flamebringer)
Spectral Trainee - this one is bonkers, how to clear a board by hitting only enemy face? There is an answer.
Tear Reality - casino mage, here I come! It costs 4 but it discounts 2 cards by 2 mana, so it's technically free.
Demon Hunter:
Shambling Chow - reverse Zombie Chow (Hello my Naxx brother!), it gives tempo but hurts your face. Zombie's drawback could be ignored but this one not.
Calamity's Grasp - meh, next cheap weapon, this one with outcast generator.
Training Session - it reminds me discovering Frightened Flunky over and over again. Anyway, 1 mana discover is always good, and discover more is even better
Fleshshaper - much better version of Tomb Warden, 2 mana cheaper, 2 health more and insignificant requirement
Hookfist-3000 - that's just crazy card, I think they want to bring quest pirate warrior back but I'm not sure that one OP card can do that.
Unnerfed Warsong Commander!?

So many music related flavour texts xD
Mosh Pit - Let the Corpses hit the floor!

I'm curious how many cards you can draw with Mistake played on turn 1
Also Anub'Rekhan
Noticable cards:
Overdraft - obvious choice for overload shaman
Mal'Ganis - The Jailer combo available in standard now!
Dirty Rat - moar hand disruption
Cage Head and Death Growl, I smell OTK somewhere here.
They see me bouncin' they hatin'
When I saw Freebird I knew they will print some new bouncing cards. But who cares about Freebird when you have Astalor, the Flamebringer?
You think this is great 2nd turn card?
Wrong!
You need at least 1 overloaded crystal so it's 3rd turn card.
I disagree about Audio Amplifier. Many powerful combo pieces were nerfed by 1 mana so they couldn't be used, for example, with Brann. And now this cards "unnerfs" them all. I'm curious about this card fate.
Oh yea, Tony, the Combo Breaker.
Step 1: make shitty deck
Step 2: play this
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit
It reminds me that brawl where you give opponent your 15 card deck. Best class for that was warlock with tons of self-dmg/discard cards. Even better was DK before giving corpse counter for everybody.
Well, this was to be expected.
Starlight Groove - this one will be annoying like hell
The One-Amalgam Band - I think there won't be any menagerie deck, but this card could be nice choice to discover, it reminds me Siamat (actually, how does it synergize with other amalgams?)
Beatboxer - I smell OTK rogue
Hipster - reverse Pandaren Importer
Void Virtuoso - this one is nice, it negates cons from many warlock cards or HP and it costs only 1 mana. Good that Bloodbloom was nerfed or it would be part of some sick combo.
In DK and expansion announcement I put comment that they should introduce actual graveyard instead corpse counter, because:
- DK cards work only with DK
- potentially new cards for everyone that interact with graveyard
- big priest nerf
And now they did step in that direction.
I can imagine combo like this:
Death Beetle + Elder Nadox
Together they cost 11 mana, beetle hits the face, Nadox kills it and give +10 attack to your other minions. If u have something on board it's OTK most of the time. Good that cards like Menagerie Warden or Stonetusk Boar aren't in standard.
Right, my bad. Then this is replacement for Famished Fool. Still crazy strong and must have in every deck.
Rogue:
Stitched Creation - wow, 10/10 for 3 mana with all requirements, strong even with 2 activated
Jolly Roger - no idea what deck it could fit, wild quest rogue?
Ransack - just worse Vendetta
Druid:
Death Beetle - that'll be useless next expansion xD Buuut... this card could suggest that druid will get new cards which increase his mana limit.
Life from Death - come on, Nourish draws 3 cards and costs 5 mana. Now wait one turn and play it for 1 mana, or not because you can increase your mana crystals with something and you will still have mana to play this. Candidate to nerf, infuse (8) or (10) or (20)?
Rake - Savagery POWERCREEP!!!11oneone
Warlock:
Nofin's Imp-ossible - so many memes in this one xD
Suspicious Peddler - ooooh, Dark Peddler is back! Now with a drawback!
Plague Eruption - aoe for discolock? But warlock have tons of these... Hellfire, Demonwrath, School Spirits, Grimoire of Sacrifice etc. Definitely warlock got worst cards this expansion.
Shaman:
Frostfin Chomper - dunno about that, it's better in elemental deck than murlock deck, but there is no viable elemental shaman in standard for now. In murlock deck it can be used with amalgams.
Blazing Transmutation - evolve with discover! No more "the end is coming" or 8 mana 1/1! 5 stars!
Cold Storage - for those who wanted to know how much is worth Moorabi effect. But thats powerful card, equivalent of Windchill, you can copy powerful enemy minon or your own instead (like Astalor, the Flamebringer)
Mage:
Whirlweaver - meh
Spectral Trainee - this one is bonkers, how to clear a board by hitting only enemy face? There is an answer.
Tear Reality - casino mage, here I come! It costs 4 but it discounts 2 cards by 2 mana, so it's technically free.
Demon Hunter:
Shambling Chow - reverse Zombie Chow (Hello my Naxx brother!), it gives tempo but hurts your face. Zombie's drawback could be ignored but this one not.
Calamity's Grasp - meh, next cheap weapon, this one with outcast generator.
Felscale Evoker - big demon demon hunter support? Dunno, it was a thing for a moment with Caria Felsoul but quickly died. Still, DH in standard has Illidari Inquisitor , Taintheart Tormenter, Brutal Annihilan and of course Xhilag of the Abyss.
Warrior:
Training Session - it reminds me discovering Frightened Flunky over and over again. Anyway, 1 mana discover is always good, and discover more is even better
Fleshshaper - much better version of Tomb Warden, 2 mana cheaper, 2 health more and insignificant requirement
Hookfist-3000 - that's just crazy card, I think they want to bring quest pirate warrior back but I'm not sure that one OP card can do that.
