Predictions time. Maybe I'll make a list of all the cards I think are playable before the set is out, but probably not!
top 10


top 5 overrated


top 5 favorite cards


meta predictions

Not sure why I linked them all to images, but I did.

Darkshire Librarian seems awful. Especially in a class with no shortage of card draw. If this was a hunter card maybe.

yeah the only time I expect to be happy with Librarian is when it comes out of a Piloted Shredder. other than that it's not really filtering since it's random. I guess once you've emptied your hand it's a buffed Loot Hoarder, and you could clear out the valuable cards first so it's more likely to discard something less good, and there's always Fist of Jaraxxus... but yeah I don't really see the point. how is it that much better than, say, Bloodfen Raptor?

Call of the Wild is as murderous as I expected. Dr. Boom/Mysterious Challenger/FoN+Roar level of impact.

My first packs, I opened the warlock C'thun card, so I've been doing a modified flood warlock to create lots of minions to either overwhelm the board or sacrifice to fuel Cult Master/the warlock C'thun guy and finish with C'thun. It is kind of hit/miss, probably because it straddles the C'thun and the floodlock strategies too much.

Tomorrow I will probably bury my dignity and play freeze mage, since that seems capable to demolish absolutely everything I face on ladder, without exception.

And then suddenly half the decks I face are warriors. Mostly midrange though.

Freeze Mage is absolutely ridiculous right now. Like "how do you justify not running this?" ridiculous, given everyone is durdling around trying to get a 20/20 C'Thun or something. Its only bad matchup is Warrior, and I don't think I have actually ran into that many Warriors anyway.

On a completely unrelated note, if you subscribe to the school of thought that the best golden cards are the ones that make more golden cards, then golden Renounce the Darkness is the MVP of the set.

Golden Shifter Zerus.

He could be anything! Even another Shifter Zerus!

Not a spell or weapon. I think Shifting Shade is the only one that can theoretically give you anything in the game, but it probably won't. Or Yogg into things.
Tempura Mage took me from rank 4 to 4 stars into rank 1 impressively quickly, but then I streaked down to rank 2. The legend grind is hell.
I put in two Oozes because I literally only play against Wicked Daggers, Truesilvers, Doomhammers and Fiery War Axes. Literally. Maybe the Divine Shield paladin didn't pack one, I didn't survive to find out. Not entirely sure where I want them though. Right now I cut them for Yogg-Saron and Arcane Missiles, since I've gotten kind of in love with the Spellpower guys, but they might need to go.

Nah, he gives you only one golden card at a time. Renounce makes ALL class cards in your deck golden, as well as your hero power.

But with Renounce Darkness you still have to play the cards. With Evolve you instantly get 7 golden minions out on the battlefield. The golden tempo gain is massive.
