Scion of Ruin
People are saying how you need to invoke before playing this, but honestly, just playing it on three is alright. It’s the front half of a restless mummy. Still pretty good. Obviously you’re supposed to hit it with Galakrond then get copies, but it’s not too bad if you have to play it early.
Cobalt Spellkin
Ok, if you look at actual classes that can use this, there’s the obvious mage/rogue decks that need cheap spells. It gets secrets for Paladin, so if that’s ever a thing after Challenger rotates, this fits there. 1 mana spells are surprisingly good for control warrior (shield slam, devastate, omega assembly), so if dragon control is a thing, this could go there.
Stormhammer
He was saying it was Shaman as of a week ago, but yeah, it seems like Hunter now. I’m not sure if he was wrong, or if Blizzard was making really last minute changes to the set. Either way, seems weird.

3 mana 3-3 isn’t bad, and this potentially has a lot of upside, especially when there are a bunch of big dragons running around. However, I have no idea what deck would want this, so I think it’ll mostly be something you’re happy to generate from Galakrond.
Depth Charge
The one upside of this compared to doomsayer is that you can health buff this if you want to have it go off multiple times in a row. Maybe you do some divine spirit/power word shield stuff in control priest. That use doesn’t seem particularly practical, but it could be fun.

I’m pretty sure this is supposed to be a shaman card. Flavor-wise, it seems like it, and in one of Trump’s videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuExhjQdktY&list=PLvEIxIeBRKSju-lwuh-9hM2CoEvrneTmq&index=9 8:38), he hinted at this being for shaman.
Camouflaged Dirigible
My only thought was to play control priest, then turn 10 slam down the 0-9 mech and this. Then do inner fire combo the next turn. Doesn’t seem reliable though, and other priest decks are better.
Deathwing, Mad Aspect
ALL minions. All as in your own. It’s why this card will be awkward in any sort of tempo deck, and control decks don’t really need a big pile of stats. It essentially is another brawl, which is still good.

I tried that, Azari burned my wax rager.

I’ve beat him twice, although he is one of the harder bosses. I used a battlecry elemental shaman with battle totem. I played a total of 5 bonemares that game, and beat him up with a 30 attack totem. The other victory was with warrior, when I had staff of summoning, dead man’s hand, a bunch of recruit, and 5 Geosculptor Yips. He lacks hard removal, so try to abuse that.

I have beaten it with seven classes, am stuck on priest, and haven’t attempted warlock.
Mage: control, invisibility cloak doomsayers, beat Togwaggle
Hunter: heavy deathrattle synergy, captured flag, beat Xol
Paladin: divine shield. captured flag, beat Xol
Shaman: battlecry/elementals, battlecry totem, beat Azari (only win yet vs trap room)
Rogue: tempo deathrattle, invisibilty cloak, beat the Dragon
Druid: beast synergy, glyph of warding, beat the Dragon
Warrior: recruit based with 5 Geomancer Yips, staff of summoning, beat Azari
Priest: ?
Side note: a great strategy is to use amulet of domination on a Ixlid spore, as it is poisonous to all dungeon bosses. I had this in my rogue deck, and beat Chronomancer Inari with it.
Ironwood Golem
Twilight Guardian was very good, and that was a 4 mana 3-6 that often had taunt, as well as some other synergy with the deck. I think this is weaker, but not by a huge margin. It’s being underrated.
Hungry Ettin
The difference is that this has taunt. There are decks that want a big lump of stats that happen to keep you from dying. It’s not a great card, but it might be playable.
Could be a board wipe in quest shaman, and maybe it sees play in control.
