First neutral Totem? OK, we had the Amalgam. This looks interesting, and definitely better than the Goblin Bomb from the previous expansion.
Regeneratin' Thug
This card can be VERY annoying in Arena. It was also time to see more of these effects going around. I can only remember Lightwell, Healing Totem and Ragnaros Lightlord with recurring healing to minions (probably a few more that never made an impact). I do feel that recurring healing minions could add a good element of interaction in Hearthstone, so I hope to see more.

Cairne Bloodhoof wannabe. Like Cursed Disciple is even better than this.
Gurubashi Offering
Love the flavor, but it’s gonna get blown out by a wind breeze. Only time you could play this is on turn 1 if you’re going first, and you’re not gonna put a card like that in your deck, right?
Former Champ
Nerf to Fireland Portal in Wild.
On the serious side: Big-time Racketeer had always synergy potential in the right decks. In this meta we have double Battlecries (Elemental + Spirit of the Shark), unstable Evolution, stuff that draws you 1-attack minions…
Drakkari Trickster
Yo I heard you like RNG so… Actually, it might not be a bad card in Kingsbane. You would probably give the opponent cards that buff weapons, and if they’re a class without weapons, they’re just dead cards. Funnily, it also looks like a tech vs Kingsbane when they only have Kingsbane left in the deck.
Dozing Marksman
Definitely has a lot of potential with synergies. Warrior card almost.
Booty Bay Bookie
Maybe play this in a deck where you play Rat Trap or Hidden Wisdom? It still looks really bad.
Auchenai Phantasm
Sooooo good. Also premium 2-drop stats. This looks good just by itself.
Also Even Priest might become a meme-deck.
Arena Treasure Chest
If it drew 3 cards, we could have an interesting engine, but maybe Blizzard thought it would be OP. 4-mana draw 2 on delay looks really, REALLY bad, for any class.
Arena Patron
I like Blizzard hinting and making cameos of the most iconic cards of the game. But they could at least be playable.
Devastate
Probably will only go into Odd non-Dragon Warrior. Otherwise you would run Execute or Execute-on-a-stick
Devastate
What about Odd Warrior which doesn’t use Dragons? You can only run 2x Shield Slams in that deck…
Dragon Roar
This has more applications than what some people may think. This can go into Recruit Warrior without messing up Gather your Party and Woecleaver. This is obviously good value for a Control Dragon Warrior deck. And it’s difficult for the opponent to play around. Not many people will play around Emeriss, Temporus or Deathwing, for example.
Halazzi, the Lynx
Wow this is one of the worst Hunter legendaries I’ve seen, and Hunter is filled with bad legendaries. This is a MASSIVE tempo loss in a class that plays aggressively and/or for tempo traditionally. It’s best combos are Starving Buzzard (too bad of a card after nerfs), Toxmonger and Quest Hunter. Toxmonger and Quest Hunter are fun to play, but they’re sooooo much slower than aggressive Hunter decks and sooooo much less efficient than Midrange/Deathrattel/Recruit Hunter decks. So this is going to be trash. If at least the 1 mana 1/1s had Charge, it could set up sort of a Combo Hunter (which would be cool, I don’t think we have seen a true Combo Hunter deck ever). But them having Rush is utter crap.
You’re missing the point: this has synergy with End of Turn effects, and goes through Taunts. Probably doesn’t justify including this in a deck, but it’s something quite more different than a 2 mana 2/2.
