    Giving your opponent a leg up never seems to work out very well.

    It'll be boring if the new Warrior quest revolves around taunt.

    Love the flavor on Diseased Vulture, but it seems pretty slow as a tempo play. Rogue can easily clear with Backstab and Eviscerate or Vendetta. Could be a pretty strong combo with Crystallizer on 5.

    There are 95 3-cost minions in Standard right now, not including new minions that have yet to be revealed. One thing to note is that this can summon non-class minions, so the variance is high. You could roll King Mukla or Spring Rocket. Even worse, Voodoo Doll.

    Average stats on a 3-cost come in around 2/4, so assuming the combo with Crystallizer, you'd get an average of 6/12 in stats over three bodies on turn 5. That's pretty strong. Another strong tempo play would be to pair this with Spirit Bomb on 5. Worst case scenario is in conjunction with Life Tap on turn 6, in which case you'd end up with an average of 5/9 in stats. 

    Neferset Ritualist seems unequivocally strong, especially in Arena. I could also see this finding a place in some aggro decks.

    I think outof.cards should have a section on the linguistics of Hearthstone. There's already a great glossary, but it doesn't outline the in-game keywords (Rush, Overkill). I couldn't find that information anywhere. It would also be cool to have a graph charting the usage of keywords over multiple expansion releases.

    Combo card pool is small enough to make Whirlkick Master a genuine threat, but stats are underwhelming. Bad tempo play on turn 2. From my experience playing with Underbelly Fence, which also requires activation, rogue has a lot of matchups where you'd prefer a tempo play on 2 to equipping a weapon. Not sure if this makes the cut.
