A tool to draw weapons for any class. This is gonna be useful in Wild, with Twig of the World Tree for Druid, Kingsbane for Rogue, Disco Maul for Paladin, Boggspine Knuckles for Shaman, Skull of the Man’ari for Warlock, stuff like that.
In standard it might see play here and there. Probably in conjunction with some of the new weapons, maybe?

You sacrifice no stats for an effect that could give a fair amount of future stats, for just 2 mana? If an amalgam deck is playable, this will be in it.

This has no right being rated ~4.3 out of 5. Where are you gonna run this? It’s an effect that is hardly ever gonna make a change… That said, maybe a control deck could find a spot for it so that they can hold 1 more control tool, or spend just 1 more mana on whatever they want to do.
2.5/5, probably makes the decks you want to be running it in slightly worse.

If it’s not in their deck, it’s probably a bad spell. That begs the question, why would I want it?

At its best, it’s pretty good. At its worst, it’s bad. I don’t know where this would be run, but I guess the best case is easy enough to hit for some decks.

Stereo Totem
Way too slow… A poorly statted minion that gives a delayed +2/+2? That’s a no from me.

+4 attack is a lot, but I feel the 1/5 body makes it less appealing for aggro decks. Maybe, though?

Nobody’s gonna play this, except for people that love to meme (mad respect to those people though!)

It’s made for handbuff, and scales very quickly in such a deck. Probably great in Handbuff Paladin in Wild, but I don’t think there’s enough support for it in Standard. That said, a 2/2 that gives +2/+2 for 3 mana isn’t hopelessly bad. I guess it’s scary enough that if they add more handbuff, it could become scary strong.
2.5/5
Festival Security
It’s a good anti-aggro tool. Reminds me of ‘Chill Vibes’, a shaman card, which fits a similar role as an anti-aggro tool.
Could see play in an aggro-centric meta, but outside of that probably bad.

Great value card, which helps control-style decks in control-vs-control matchups.
4/5
Static Waveform
Big stats, but it actively seeks to delete itself from your board. I think anyone would rather play Incorporial Corporal if they were looking for such a card.

Solid discover minion. Perhaps something like Blood Death knight would like to discover some of those great legendaries! Okay, convinced myself…

Cowbell Soloist
I remember a (now) legacy card that did the same for 5 mana, but without the restriction. It never saw play. Is a card, that was unplayable from the start of the game, playable for 2 mana less BUT with a restriction? NO

I like this, actually. I’m gonna make a bold prediction and say this will see play! Nobody wants to play a 3/3, even more so if they’re facing an aggro deck. If you’re playing an aggro deck that cares for the board, a sticky but aggressively statted minion like this could really help.
4/5
Pyrotechnician
4 mana is just too much of an upfront cost to generate some spells. Unless the Fire Spell pool is small enough and there is some broken Fire Spell that you can generate multiple times, it’s gonna be garbage
1/5
The new weapons all seem to want to trigger their deathrattles, so I don’t see why you’d want to give them more durability…
Maybe there is another weapon that wants durability? I am too lazy to check the weapons currently in standard, so I guess I’ll give it a complementary “maybe it will see some play” rating
