I've played Shaman the most as I had a ton of fun with the Evolve Shaman deck after opening Thrall, Deathseer. But ultimately I just play whatever class/deck is fun to me at the time.
For everyone complaining about Big Priest, here ya go. Fill their pool with more stuff they don't want.
I got tired of them last weekend and made a deck specifically designed to give my opponent crap minions. First match I played a Priest, I played Saronite Taskmaster, and I think Gravelsnout Knight early. He pretty much conceded right away
Munchmore, it costs more because the Overfiend is 5/6, this is 5/2. Easily removed so you're almost paying for just the portals getting shuffled where the other one might stick around or at least require a use of removal or multiple trades to remove.
So... it's Echo but not? WTF is the point of having keywords in the game if they aren't going to use them?!?!
The only explanation is to keep this out of the Echo pool incase they ever have a "Discover an Echo card" mechanic. That's pretty much why I assumed they didn't change Unstable Evolution to be Echo. That and maybe wanting to keep it from working with Mistwraith...
I was thinking about this card's uses on your opponent's minions, and honestly... one of the best uses is in Wild as tech against Big Priest. Say turn 4 your opponent plays Barnes. You can either use this on Barnes to put more 4 drops in the pool, or you can polymorph something, then the Sheep is still around, hit it with this spell, maybe again to another 1 drop generated.
If you're surviving to late in the game the Polymorph -> 2 x Conjurer's Calling could cause them some major headaches with their spellstones and other rez effects. Imagine your opponent using a fully charged spellstone to bring back Sheep, Abusive Sergeant, Babbling Book, and Chameleos
Yes, I realize this is extremely situational. But that thought of it being possible makes me so happy!
EDIT: And if Khadgar generates them double the 1 drops, that's even better! The fact that Khadgar exists and they are pushing this minion generating archetype means it's possible that you could have a deck with that gimmick in it, but utilize these as removal/tech in a Big Priest match up. Bottom line is I'm excited to see what the game looks like after April 9th!
"Druid of the Acorn" makes sense seeing as someone mentioned the literal translation was something like "Acorn Man". With the lack of updating the card art/name, you'd think Flux and crew are building a whole new website from scratch or something.
Not sure if we've seen the Squirrel card art, but I kind of hope it's the same token Tinkmaster gives you. Secret call back card!!!
Kovachut beat me to it! My personal favorite from the Basic set is Chillwind Yeti. There is so much more happening in that art! Maybe one day they'll use the the undead looking guy in the art to make "Chillwind Summoner" that either has Battlecry or Deathrattle to summon a Chillwind Yeti.
Also the Squirrel you get off Tinkmaster Overspark is actually just a small part of it's card art, sitting on the shoulder of some rogue-ish night elf. Pretty cool!
EDIT: Nevermind! I just noticed the gamepedia page for Yeti's art shows they already used the undead guy for Fear, part of the Headless Horseman brawl.
Would have preferred something like this in a neutral card, like the Possibility Seeker from the special brawl cards when the had the Taverns of Time event.
Not sure if you noticed, but you have a few cards that are rotating. 1 x Sleepy Dragon, 1 x Primordial Drake, 2 x Bone Drake, and 2 x Cobalt Scalebane. Figure this is not intended to be Wild as you didn't include some of the older Dragons.
For either Sleepy or Primordial, you could include another Crowd Roaster. While not equivalent to anything you'd be removing, you could try including 2 x Firetree Witchdoctor to maybe get buff or damage spell. Nozari could also be a late game addition simply because it's a dragon.
That's all I got right now, I'm sure we'll get a few more dragons for Shadows when all the cards are released, if we do maybe they can fill in some space as well.
EDIT: There is also the Cathedral Gargoyle that could be used for early board presence.
Excited for this new expansion and for the site. Hoping to see more paladin buffs though, to help put together an Immortal Undatakah Paladin deck, with buffs and magnetic effects on Prelates and Mechano-Eggs. So far looks like they are finally pushing the Dragon Paladin archetype more.

I saw this and instantly thought Hunter Quest in Wild! Could help control the board, but of course... it's the Hunter Quest...

First good Rager? Maybe.

It's like everyone gets to play Fal'dorei Strider now!

LOL! Derpcorn! Will there be plush Derpcorns for sale on this site in the future?! I may be interested...
I was just about to post this same thread! 30 seconds too late. Story of my life...

Just noticed that the card art for Equality is showing 4 mana, but the database still has it listed as 2.
