Paladin or Shaman are the easy picks for Sea Giant. Token Druid could work too for the 7 mana ancients.

I think hunters are more excited at Malorne than Druids are... Even though the chance to pull him with a web spinner is pretty small.
I think Warrior's got the best legendary. He, easily, replaces Cairne and provides a solid body. If that mine hits, it's 10 to the face and a huge tempo swing since the opponent missed out on a card draw.

Recombobulate is Priest though.Edit:Oh fuck me, no it isn't. It's just a gnome wearing Priest set lol.
Outside of the Deathwing lulz, Recombobulate heals any Giant back to full health which is pretty nice.

There's no way it triggers per piece of armour. It's per instance of armour gained, just like Frothing Berserker.

Yeah it's already been confirmed that it's 1 atk every time you gain armor, so it combos with armorsmith but generally speaking it's probably shit for constructed.
It's tough not to try to find a way to work that in to a constructed deck. At 5/5 it's already fair for cost, and then the fact that you can add 1 damage to it every turn guaranteed. Control warrior is already running the Armorsmiths and the Whirlwind, this card gives a lot of synergy without a lot of drawback.

I mean you could use it if you did a more aggressive midrange control warrior. It's just not good enough for the full slow control warrior.
I know people in the thread were a bit dismissive of Shield Maiden but Sjow is excited for it and since the dude hits the top of both ladders every season with control warrior so I think it's definitely going to find a spot. You could definitely get greedy and swap them in place of the shield blocks, which means you won't fatigue as soon in the control mirror and you have an extra body that has to be dealt with. If priest continues to be a big thing post GvG (And I'm sure it will) you'll definitely want Maidens over shield block.

Another thing of note. There are no "cheap" Legendaries. They all cost 5 mana or more.
I think this is more detrimental to them honestly. They are, by and large, very situational or, flat out, bad.
The ones I like are Iron Juggernaut and Troggzor. Vol'Jin is another one that I think will see play with a very unique effect.
Ones I'm not sure about: Mal'Ganis (I see him being decent to buy you a turn or so since he HAS to be dealt with. He'd work really well in Handlock I think after some taunts go up. Malorne looks playable (especially in ramp druid getting him out early). Nesingwary is simply a Meta card and I really wish it was Silence and then destroy (Savannah Highmane).
I either don't know about the rest or think they're bad.

Recombobulator is excellent. I said as much as soon as it was released. Calling it now.
Yeah FFS. No more secrets. Secrets were a failed attempt to give a shitty, watered down version of "instants" to the game and they couldn't even handle them being activated 100% of the time, because that was just farrrr too complicated. Secrets are incredibly dumb. I'm glad they gave us a Neutral secret killer/stealer. Maybe they'll give up on them now and eventually remove them altogether.

This. Shieldmaiden does not replace Shield Block or Armorsmith at all. Shield Block's strength isn't in just the armour, but the card draw and the combo with Shield Slam. And Armorsmith is early game and allows you to gain huge value. Shieldmaiden's value is highly limited to that one instance.

I like Shield Maiden and I could see it maybe replacing shield-block in a more of a mid-range warrior deck but I doubt it would ever replace Armorsmith that card is just too important for warrior suitability. I do see Shield Maiden as a total meta call though for control warrior depending on the amount of Mirror Match/Priest they would see.
I really think that's Blizzard's whole attempt with this set, they aren't making any established archetype better they are trying to open up new pathways for other classes. Only two classes right now really have an "Agro/Control" mulligan problem and that's Priest/Warlock I think they want each class to have a few options like that.

On one hand having Malganis up behind some big taunts would probably win you the game, On the other hand having two big taunts up on turn 9 usually means you are winning the game anyways unless you're playing burn. I could see Malganis's Immune ability being used to replace Jaraxxus but, I don't see Jaraxxus being played too often anymore.
He's a weird card for sure, They are trying to make Demon Warlock a thing and hitting Malganis off a Voidcaller trigger would be pretty awesome.

Exactly. Sorry Fawe, Shieldmaiden does not replace Armosmith and Shield Block. Maybe, maybe, you could use 1 Shieldmaiden over a Shieldblock, but certainly not over Armorsmiths. While it seems like they are all very similar cards because they gain armor, they really aren't.
