    Any number of mage decks what a card like this. Its less random in what you get, and but still random. It generates CHEAP SPELLs so it kind of fits the bill for many archtypes. Will it be the key? Probably not, but it will be good enough to see play, especially with that elemental tag.

    Priest doesn't care much about lackeys and while any 0 cost spell is one to think about, I don't see this seeing non-niche play. In combo decks its probably fine, but just as a card, a random lackey isn't worth it to me.

    A second Ship's Cannon in Wild Pirate Warrior seems nuts. This isn't as aggressively statted, and that's probably good, because it lets you play this and have it survive more often to abuse its effect. In standard it might be good, but IDK if pirates will succeed or not. Either way, this effect is known to be strong, so this card is probably strong.

    This is a strong aggro card, but its also dangerous. You can easily dump your whole hand and push for a fast lethal but it also means you already dumped your whole hand. It makes AoE better against you, because they know you're already used your resources and this isn't a super strong value cards, its just got great tempo. that said, in wild, turbo aggro is the only aggro.

    This is the card that makes Treants worth playing. Before now it was just a gimmick, but when you finally create a value/card draw mechanic for anything it becomes good. It only takes 1 treant for this to be completely fine, and 2 makes this cost 1, and once its free its just awesome. There are enough cards that make this 1 or 0 that this is going to be playable in some form of deck. Will it define the meta? We don't know yet, but we will soon.

    This card is awesome in Token druid and good in general. 2 mana for 3/3 worth of stats split in a meaningful way with multiple points of synergy.

    This is just a cool card and it makes Rummaging Kobold look like trash. Its got a good tribe, it has a reasonable statline for its effect. This card isn't good in every class but its great in the classes its good in.

    This seems pretty awesome. Even if Pirate Warrior isn't the way to go, if a non-control Warrior is good this will be in it. In wild this is definitely going to see a lot of play.

    Premium 1 drop. It is lacking a tribe, but its still going to be a staple in decks that aren't concerned with that. It won't be the best 1 drop ever, but its a nice choice across the board.

    If this were a Dragon it would be even crazier, being a Beast means its going to see less play, at least at the start of the expansion. This will likely be an Arena all star. Cool card, great art.

    Another weird tech 2 drop. IDK what is going on with these, but at least they are interesting. Will be even more interesting in PVE content.

    If dragon decks are good enough and need curve fillers this is great. Otherwise its not good in a pure Murloc deck. More menagerie stuff for wild potentially but that is so far off being viable even now it doesn't matter.

    What a weird card. The 3 toughness is what really takes all the wind out of this card. Even if you get a good 6-7 attack out of it, its just too easy to remove a 3 toughness minion. Cool design, but just not good enough.

    This isn't a mech heavy expansion, and even with Boomsday still in its not got a lot of homes. In wild this might be good enough to see play, the upside is there, a 4/4 rush for 3 is very very good, but we'll have to see how the meta shakes up.

    This is a super weird ability, the niche is there, but this just won't be seeing any direct play unless something really weird happens. It will probably show up from random things on occasion and be secretly awesome, but otherwise its not much of a card.

    This is great against aggro, not so great against midrange and control, that said its got a fine statline on the taunt side alone and sometimes the rush side matters, especially for Hunter. Not insane but a fine roleplayer.

    This isn't good enough for the hoops you have to jump through. Its cool to see the menagerie concepts coming back again and again but I just don't see this one being worth it.

    This card has an interesting enough set of key words that its got potential. Its likely too clunky for much play in constructed, but on occasion it will do some surprising stuff.

    This is pretty perfect in an aggressive Invoke Warrior. It does all the things you want, and covering up the second half doesn't feel bad because you get most of the value up front. I mean really this compares very very well with Heroic Strike, a staple in aggro warrior decks.

    This is one of the most disappointing invoke cards. Its not awful, but its clunky as hell and awful in aggressive decks.
