I guess in that exact scenario King Phaoris would be pretty amazing. But how consistently can you get there? You need a bunch of 1mana secrets, so that prismatic lense reliably hits one, and you need few other minions so that prismatic lense reliably hits the King. And then you get a 5/5 and a 10 drop plus some 1 mana minions for 5 mana, but is that enough to swing a game? I personally doubt it, but I would not mind to be proven wrong.
Probably the best legenary of the set. Neutral, flexible in almost every situation, and with an elememntal tag, for what it's worth (Mage and shaman have some tools to make use of that). The first card I will craft if I don't get it in packs.
It is IF you can get it off. But you need to get to turn 10, can't play your big spells because you need them as fuel for the King, there is still a chance you whiff on the RNG (Hir'eek, anyone?), and if you happen to be forced to play your spells before you have a 10 mana 5/5. I don't hate the card or anything, I just think it is way to inconsistent, to vulnerable to board clears and too hard to set up efficiently. I'm sure there is going to be some highlight videos, but I'm also sure this is not going to be in anything but meme decks.
Not at all joking. You would need to have this card plus some big spells at turn 10, be in a position where you can play a 5/5 for 10 mana without being smorc'd to death next turn and pray to the RNG gods to not get weak stuff like Hireek or the like. Seems unlikely to me that this is going to be a build around strategy, not to mention the possibilty of totally whiffing with the summons or a neatly timed board clear. Sure, it can work, but I doubt it will consitently enough to see constructed play.
I'm going to go with Anka, the Buried. Great potential for Mecha'thun shenenigans, and with Myras and the new combo draw card probably even competitively viable.
Seems pretty bad. One off reduction for your opponent is huge, and because this thing has reborn, it is likely going to affect two turns. Without rush you need to wait a turn to get use out of it, at that point likely with 1hp, presumably against a wide board.
It does decrease the rating for diseased vulture too, as this can be summoned by it, diluting the 3 mana minion pool.
I don't see anyone ever putting this in their decks.
I don't see a reliable combo to pull of the 15 dmg. Unless they print some cheap duplication or mana reduction I don't think this can rise above meme level.
It looks promising, the question if it's going to be fast enough. Very interesting, a cool design, and just one 0 mana card a turn might not be broken (at least I can't think of a Warlock 0 mana OTK that is worth building a deck around). But I am sure it's going to be fun experimenting with. 4/5
It's a meme card. Nobody is going to seriously put it in their deck. But thanks to random card generation it will still see some play. Probably some Kalycos-Yogg highlights incoming, but really just a mediocre card. 2/5
Does anybody know if this is going to come to the ingame store?
I'm not complaining about the value of the deal, but if I could get a few extra percent off with amazon coins I would be a lot more likely to buy the bundle.
I don't think Zayle is meant to be a super competitive card, especially not in higher ranks (like 5+). Like Whizzbang it is a card for people who don't want to spend a ton of money and still get to play with some decks they otherwise could not afford. Kind of a teaser of what is possible if you spend a lot of money, an incentive for people to get into ranked, and an advertisement for moderately expensive decks.
I think it has been renamed to "Druid of the Acorn".
Other than that, I think it's a solid 1 mana card, there are some cards in Druid that benefit from a large hand (Whispering Woods, Bewitched Guardian), so it might see some play in some form of token deck. Plus, for what it's worth, the squirrels probably have a beast tag.
Considering that firefly is rotating out I think it's a fair guess that this will see some play in aggro or token decks.
It's a solid card that will see play if combo decks are popular.
It's a little better than Deathlord, because it's a battlecry, so the 3/8 taunt body can protect you for a turn if you hit something big, and it can't be silenced.
I see it as a little worse than Dirty Rat, because it is harder to get the timing right.
It seems cool, but I don't know if it is ever going to be fast enough. If you can't get any value out of it the turn you play it (with life tap for example), it might just be removed before your next draw. Plus, you'd have to create a deck that reliably draws high value (deathrattle?) minions. I don't know if 8 mana to force out a removal card from your opponent is worth it.
I see some potential in wild, but I doubt it's going to be a high impact legendary in standard. It reminds me of Flark's Boomzooka, and that didn't see any play whatsoever, aside from some very wonky meme decks.
Crazy amount of potential due to the "choose treasure" wording. Spirit - Togwaggle - prep - draw 3 cards - play three cards for 0 - I am sure something along those lines can be pulled of with sufficient consistency. I would not be surprised if this one gets nerfed at some point.
Cool card, but I don't know if it's going to work. If I get it I'll at least have some fun, maybe some Book of Spectors - Arugal - Dollmaster combo or something.
I watched the stream, it's always essentially assassinate plus either betrayal, summon a 1/1 poisonous (with stealth?), add two coins to your hand, or add a copy of the minion killed to your hand (seance).
Seems pretty strong to me, it combos with prep, and vilespine is gone. I think it will definitely see play.
And the rest of rogue looks pretty promising too so far, in my opinion.

At first glance a filler legendary. Too expensive, to weak in stats, and too conditional.

I don't think this can be evaluated before seeing the last highlander card. In a vacuum it seems weak, but I won't write it off quite yet.

I'm playing Vargoth-Wall Priest. I have an idea for a Recurring Villain Undertaker deck for after launch, but it's still a work in progress.
