The new weapon just revealed looks awesome.

2/3 weapon for 3 mana that gives a random friendly minion divine shield and taunt.

Not sure what class it's for.

As unroguish as it seems, that's definitely the Rogue background color on the card.

On r/hearthstone they are calling it a Paladin weapon which makes more sense thematically.

[popsofctown]

That's probably why it's so strong, Rogue needs lots of power on their weapon to offset how it denies them access to their hero power.  Perdition's Blade is great compared to Stormforged Axe but Stormforged sees play, Blade doesn't.

This is generally better than Perdition's Blade, offering you the same 6 points of damage in 3 payments.  You take a little more damage since you have to do the fighting yourself with the coghammer, but one of your minions is relieved of a similar amount of damage, and generally you want to funnel health from yourself to your precious minions.

oh, Pally cards are kinda black too I guess.

Well, that's less exciting, I don't know how well this competes with Truesilver Undercosted.

[nkirbit]

Certainly a good combo with ancient watcher.

Especially because they don't want to silence it.

Weapons are all blackish. The class indication is the faint border of the text (terrible, I know), which is yellow, indicating Paladin -- unless it's brown... but it seems more likely to be a Paladin weapon than a Druid one.

I just saw Trump talk about it on Twitch and it is indeed a Paladin weapon. As a Paladin weapon it's interesting, but doesn't break anything, but your comment made me think "OMG IF IT WERE A DRUID WEAPON IT WOULD BE SO GOOD AND BROKEN". Crazy how cards have so much meaning based on what class they are.

Hunter card revealed.

2mana spell. Draw a card. If it's a beast it costs 4 less.

...Huh.  Really don't know how to judge it. If you draw Highmane, then you're really happy. If you don't, I cant think of too many other beast cards you'd care about. Animal Companion is a spell so its cost doesn't go down, and most other beasts people run are cheap 2-3 mana ones.

Depends what other beasts there are in the new expansion, but I think the upside isn't good enough to play it.

I think if you have a more midrange Hunter deck with beasts, you can think of this as a better Shiv for deck thinning. Maybe you take Flare out and put this in instead.

Coghammer (https://twitter.com/PlayHearthstone/status/535868745445429248/photo/1) is odd. It seems suited for arena in some ways, where you can't draft two Truesilver Champions every time, but it's epic so it won't show up very often. DS+Taunt is useful, especially in arena, but a 2/3 weapon on turn 3 is kinda bad.

I don't think it's that good when you consider worst case scenario. 2 mana draw a card is a terrible possibility when you're spending a card to do it. You need too many beasts in your deck for it to be worthwhile.

With the current set of beasts, this card is not worth it. Let's wait and see what that new Hunter legendary is going to be. The worth of this card might shoot up depending on what beasts are added to the game on GvG.

Okay, the way Blizzard is revealing these cards is incredibly scattered and annoying. Here's another one apparently:
http://www.pcgamer.com/hearthstone-card-reveal-iron-sensei/

Rogue card called Iron Sensei. 3 mana 2/2 mech. Reads "At the end of your turn, give another friendly Mech +2/+2."

Edit: okay not annoying in the frequency sense. For that I grateful. It would be great if all the revealed cards could be announced in one place.

[Galzria]

Well, a second player T3 dropping Iron Sensei + Coin + Conceal, followed by a T4 Master of Disguise could have some potential. End of Turn 2/2 Bonus is pretty threatening if you don't have an AoE / Random Target removal spell.

But it can't buff itself.

No, but I've got to believe that they're aiming for Mech heavy decks being a thing here.

Disguised sensei would indeed be the new best "contributing without dealing damage" card.

New mage minion revealed - 2 mana, 2/3, freezes "damaged by this" characters

Not sure what to think. stats are fine, but the reason the freeze is good on water elemental is because of it's high health. Still, I think this is good enough to play. Certainly in arena it's a fine pick.

[popsofctown]

I think it's more that Yeti>River croc, and Water Elemental is a Yeti and the new thing is a River Croc.

At least it's another card that can keep weapon users + druid in perpetual freeze. Plus, it's a mech to activate Goblin Blast mage. But meh, when attacking minions in turn 2-3 it's pretty much just River Croc. Kinda conflicts with the Sorceror's Apprentice + Mana Wyrm early game style.
