Today's Twitter vote card reveal thing:

4 mana Epic Rogue Spell
Destroy a Random enemy Minion
Combo: And your opponent's weapon.

So a variant of Assassinate. I like it more than Assassinate. Usually, Rogue can set it up so that there is only 1 enemy minion left to destroy.

Edit: On an unrelated note, I appear to suffer from gratuituous capitalization syndrome.

[Awaclus]

That's cool. I like it that it has a Combo which isn't necessarily useful.

[KingZog3]

Blingtron is now OP.

[Jorbles]

Yeah, that's actually really cool. I always feel bad leaving combos unused because they're all good, and I feel bad about leaving bonus damage/free minions/free buffs unused. But this one you only need to worry about activating situationally, so you can comfortably just cast it guilt free!

[Grujah]

Ogres can bypass taunt. Interesting.

Not sure what to think of these either. The Hunter card looks nice for hunter Control decks, or even aggro decks that run deathrattles.

The other ones look like they can seriously punish deathrattle decks.

That hunter card is so overpowered as to be ridiculous, especially at 2 mana.  That's like... immediately craft two epics sort of overpowered.

I don't like how the Hunter card is basically a better Reincarnate. Reincarnate has its own bag of tricks, but it's primarily for the deathrattle trigger, and invalidating it so recently feels wrong to me, especially given how unique Reincarnate was.

Power wise, I can see it being strong, but it's also in Hunter, which limits it more. My feeling is that aggro decks would rather have consistency, but they may run it to trigger Haunted Creeper. More midrange decks will like it a lot for Highmane/Belcher/whatever new card comes out. I think it'll make aggro Hunters weaker relatively to midrange Hunters, but Hunter is already pretty strong so idk if this is the right way to do it...

My problem with Feign Death is that it is a class card. Something like this deserves to be universally accessible.

FD, and the Priest anti-death rattle card, make Eggs required in Hunter decks.  I'll need to make room for 4 2-drops...

[blueblimp]

At first glance, Feign Death seems totally bonkers. I mean, your usual Hunter runs: Webspinner, Leper Gnome, Mad Scientist, Haunted Creeper, Sludge Belcher, Savannah Highmane. Hitting a single Highmane gives you two 2/2s, hitting Scientist is a bit like having had a trap in hand instead, and any two of the others is mostly good value for a 2 mana card.

On the other hand, one of the strengths of low-curve decks like typical Hunters is to reliably play on curve. This card doesn't help you do that. It's also a bit win-more in that it does best in situations where you're already ahead. I could imagine it edging out Houndmaster for inclusion, since Feign Death can find a target more often.

Seems really weird to add a card that's a direct buff to the strongest deck in that game, in any case.

That's actually a Paladin card, not a Priest card.

[Awaclus]

I like the Paladin card. I'll have to somehow find room for it in my deck.

Oh, right.

Actually, it's no worse than Consecrate, I guess.

Well, the new set's theme is Mechs, and mechs aren't beasts, so it's kinda rough for Hunter so there may be a need to compensate for that.

Plus, like, they need to keep up in the arms race against Lil Exorcist.

New Hunter card: Steamwheedle Sniper

2 Mana 2/3 epic
Your Hero Power can target minions.

It's temporary shadowform! Probably doesn't fit into the current aggro hunter too well, but opens up other Hunter archetypes. They're really pushing that control Hunter.

[blueblimp]

Looks like a fun card. Good for arena and doesn't help standard constructed Hunters. I like this kind of 2-drop where it can work on turn 2 or later in a more complex play, like Pyromancer.

[KingZog3]

I wonder what happens if you MC tech this to another hero. Can warrior then give armor to minions? And Druids give 1 attack and 1 armor to a minion?

And I saw comment that it'll be cool if Warlock can grab this. Deal 2 damage to a minion and draw a card.

Or does the minion draw a card. Wooooh. Mind = blown.

So it can play the card? So there will be sub mana for each minion now? Are they controlled by the AI?

Maybe they should have said "your Steady Shot Hero Power".

[markusin]

Druid gets Druid of the Fang, a 4/4 for 5 mana that transforms into a 7/7 if you have a beast.

4 words:
Combos with Gnomish Experimenter.

(Chicken is 0 mana)

Also for some fun fan speculation, I hope they make a card that give a bonus to cards with no card text (including silenced minions). Something like a battlecry that gives vanilla minions +1/+1. It's unlikely, but I'll kick myself if they release such a card and I can't yell "called it!"
