Evocation
It’s a nice card especially as a late game option for a tempo mage deck also it supports Mana giant for playing cards that didn’t start in deck. And with mountain giant going to Hall of Fame mage doesn’t have as much of a reason to horde cards in the hand.

Auto include in every demon Hunter deck now you must board clear demon Hunter or get screwed by this but in all seriousness it does mean certain decks won’t be able to hide behind taunts like used to.
We can probably expect some ridiculous otk setup in the future. Also as a note this is a legendary which means the rogue discover a legendary can pull this.
Shadow Council
Just stating can’t did cards if don’t know what will happen with them.
Ancient watcher 2.8 rating but was involved in the evil silence priest.
Anubisath Warbringer 2.0 rating used in deathrattle rogue.
Aransi Broodmother 2.7 rating used heavily in drawlock and Handlock.
Arcane watcher 3.1 rating same reason as ancient watcher.
Azalina Soulthief 2.5 rating but was a key card of the ridiculous togwaggle druid.
Batterhead 2.8 rating not to great but quest priest runs at least one copy because making it 6 attack at 10 Mana clears boards.
Beaming sidekick 3.1 rating used in several aggro zoo or big priest decks.
Bloghtnozzle crawler 2.6 rating but was ran in deathrattle rogue package.
Blood troll sapper 2.7 rating but used in a few swarmlock decks.
That’s just from the first 5 out of 50 from all cards list a good deal of cards with low ratings became staple cards to a few tier 1 and several tier 2 decks.
And here’s the kicker he trashed the meta during his reign King Togwaggle 2.5 rating with 1919 reviews. Was called a meme card and an instant dust then later it became a star player of a tier one deck that was so strong pieces of it had to be nerfed.
Point is a lot of cards don’t look great at first but some end up getting support over time in standard or in wild that makes them valuable.

Actually I just got a combo idea that could be used in Highlander Hunter to. This + rhino + clear the way+ Scarlet webweaver. Then add the 4/1 rush draw a rush to use as a fetcher. You also have the new draw a beast give it 3/3 as a tutor. That puts 6 unique cards in the deck as long as there is no more beasts you can have 2 cards that tutor out 2 of the cards needed for combo.
And 24 non essential cards means could mix rest up with a dragon package brann giving 8/8 charge. It could work I’ll start trying to theorycraft the deck as more cards are revealed.

All need is Scarlet webweaver to tag either this or rhino and then you could do the 22 dmg combo for 9 Mana.
Trick is getting that card to buff the minion you want but it is possible.

Dies to a lot of cards but it still puts a threat on board that needs to be dealt with by unconventional removals.
Akama
That still wouldn’t effect the cost which is the main issue of the buffed card 6 Mana with no immediate impact is a lot.
Warmaul Challenger
A very interesting card and will be insanely valuable if given any form of buff while in hand (like galakrond) And there will be 5 more expansions it will be in standard so any that can buff it will be good.
Lady Liadrin
Considering this will be around for 6 sets there’s no telling what spells pally will get.
With fact that it’s any friendly character heals to self are returned as well which could be valuable returns all buffs cast on minions which depending on what we get could be very valuable.
Overall it’s a card that would have done well in a shirvallah type deck getting back heal draw.
I’ll put this as a wait and see depending on what new spells see in expansions.

Why hello there big beast Hunter appreciates you showing up.
Auto include with deathstalker rexar for wild. Also in wild if the cards had rush or charge effect for the turn at 10 Mana you can use revenge of the wild to bring the beasts back after smashing them if needed.
Augmented Porcupine
A card that rewards you for using those new beast buffs. Mid range Hunter getting more support
Zixor, Apex Predator
So basically a legendary that goes perfectly with current Hunter quest decks pretty much every Hunter is going to run a copy of this.
The Lurker Below
First up awesome card I loved this boss since it required fishing skill to trigger it.
So obvious option play this in quest shammy that’s what 9 dmg dealt 6 to a big minion and 3 to an adjacent for 8 Mana. Even without that this can pop off a few of the non targettable minions.
Akama
Nice looking card but unless rogue can cheat it out finding a chance to play it is tricky 6 Mana is a lot for no immediate return.
But this may actually see play due to one detail. The current galakrond rogue runs heistbarron and will typically grab the draw 3 make them 0 cost as well as the galakrond can draw 4. So you could potentially pull out the perma stealth minion for 0 Mana.
Blackjack Stunner
And now rogue has a minion that discovers a secret when you play a secret secret run will likely appear running quest.
Shadowjeweler Hanar
The wording could be to keep you from pulling a secret from same class. So if you play a Hunter secret you won’t discover another Hunter secret.
Not to big a deal but it would imply emphasis because *another* was used to stop getting from your own class.
Astromancer Solarian
Look it’s Yogg’s disciple and he learned how to target at cost of less spells cast.
I’m surprised nobody beat me to yogg reference. The worst case scenario is conjurer’s calling but outside that there’s not much of a real loss.
Underlight Angling Rod
The return of murloc pally and with the murlocs + dragon support cards murloc dragon might see play. Overall a fiery waraxe that gives 2 minions and as it’s random any class murloc is gainable like say the new demon Hunter 2 cost murloc.
Embiggen 0 Mana
give all minions in deck +2/2 they cost (1) more (up to 10)
that’s the exact wording so it can become a 10 cost 11/11 or 13/13 although tagging the 3 cost 3/4 would be preferred.
