But honestly, this is pretty mediocre. Sure, it's a ball of stats and you're never sad to just play it on curve, but compare it to the Warlock triple 3/3 imp. You don't even answer that entirely and the Imp isn't even broken.
Probably too basic unless there'S some good Elemental support.
Sounds like a more gimmicky Dragonbane. Without seeing all the available support it's hard to evaluate.
If there's enough Overheal support then mayb it's just a good card in a good deck, but I doubt they'll just support a straight-up OTK plan for Control Priest.
Probably not as good as Cariel overall, but I don't think we should underestimate the possibility of forcing your opponent to spend mana in order to be able to damage you.
At 3-mana this could be pretty strong at holding off aggro until you can decisively stabilize.
Assuming you use it to clear minions it already upgrades itself to a 3/3, which is a pretty good statline. That's not even counting anything else you might be doing inbetween.
Compare it to Denathrius. It takes forever to become a viable finisher and only really works against slow control decks but against those you'lll rarely get enough damage to just oneshot them and they most likely have a way to deal with the board.
That's not even mentioning the lack of good corpse spenders in Rainbow DK. Corpse Bride and Malignant Horror are the biggest ones and they aren't great cards right now.
10-mana also seems like a lot compared to Marrowgar for instance.
I feel like Starlight Groove exists purely to spite the people who were waiting for Cariel to rotate (arguably this is not as good as Cariel, but it's still a powerful anti aggro tool)
Amalgam Band looks kinda funny, but I wonder what the actual keywords are. Surely this fucker won't get Charge, right?
Banshee looks like it could help Blood DK be proactive instead of sitting around waiting to be OTKd
Beatboxer makes me think we're not gonna see Shadowstep in Core again
Brass Elemental is boring ball of stats which at this point appears to be part of Shaman's class identity.
Void Virtuoso might be really good, but I doubt you can build a functioning self-harm build if it relies on a 1-drop to stay alive
Honestly, as long as they dont fuck up the balancing completely this looks like it will be an insanely fun expansion.
The theme is on point. Expansions where all the classes have their own distinct theme are usually very flavorful. This one will probably also include some really good music pieces, which I think will be very enjoyable to use in play. Additionally it also enables some very fun skin ideas for the Tavern Pass (which is good, because they've been a bit lackluster after Sunken City).
The only thing I find somewhat concerning right now is that Rogue just got a ramping mana-cheat weapon and, by god, I don't think I can deal with that crap for the fourth time in a row...
Can't wait for my favourite cards, Elite Tauren Chieftain, Elite Tauren Beeftain, Elite Tauren Grieftain. Elite Tauren Curtain and of course Common Dwarven Mayor
Not a Wild player, but man, we haven't seen nerfs this aggressive in a while.
Gnoll nerf seems a tad unfair. THe card was balanced by itself and they could have changed it so it now counts itself as a card in hand so it's functionally the same for every scenario outside of evolving.
The Construct Quarter nerf is also surprising. I was sure they were going to just shave off one durability and call it a day, but I guess this eliminates it from being a tempo crusher and instead keeps it as a defensive powerhouse.
Corpsetaker on suicide watch.

Is Shadowstep actually not going to be in Core for once? I don't see how they would print something that's clearly busted otherwise.
I hate this exists. It's only ever going to be used for some degenerate crap and probably forces you to run weapon tech if you want to beat it.
Sounds like a decent healing card for Priest since you can just drop it and use it when necessary.
Also it looks like it might have been nerfed during development which sounds like there might be something valuable behind it.
Could be good for Naga Priest, but I'M uncertain of how playable that deck is without (I hope) Radiant Elemental

Tutors Death Beetle if that ends up being a deck. The discover is the consolation price I guess?
Either way, solid card.
I like it, but turn swapping has a nasty habit of not being there for you when you need it.
Could be good for Rainbow DK though.

Pretty strong honestly
Could be a legit win condition for Blood DK (alongside Mograine). Now you actually have some pressure.
However, 5-mana is a lot and you're rarely getting more than one turn out of it.
Not impressed to be honest.

No Lifesteal? I guess that makes it a lot worse as a build-around
Then again, aren't there more tribes than keywords you just listed?
Maybe it's also impossible to gain all the keywords at once.

Piper gives me hope for Beast Druid
Fan Club is just efficient healing
Hipster is just funny

That's pretty neat, so I guess the Shadow Waltz flavor text was the hint after all, which means Rin is coming back as a new card

truly he is the pinnacle of evolution.
Darwin in shambles
never willl work that way, either because the code doesn't allow it or because it's just unintuitive.
