Spawn of shadows is definitely my favorite card spoiled. I have no idea if anyone could ever make it work, but I love it.

I think a lot of these cards are playable, and there will definitely be experimentation going on with new deck types. They clearly want Control Hunter, Beast Hunter, Beast Druid, a real Tempo Rogue, to all be things. I might still preorder, we'll see.

The thing is too, there's a lot of variables being introduced this time. Naxx was really just, here's some deathrattles! GvG, here's a bunch of mechs! BRM, look at these dragon synergies!

With this one though you have: jousting, inspire, hero power interactions, more dragon synergies and every class is getting new archetype possiblities introduced. Beasts for hunters and druids. Push towards more minion/tempo options for rogues. The whole discard synergy shit for locks. Priest and shaman getting a host of options. So instead of just one gimmick, they are dropping numerous ones at once. That's something to be hopeful for in terms of the game getting shaken up a bit more than usual as people mash shit together and see what happens.

I just dislike the joust nonsense because everyone in the game from casual FTP to pro streamers is sick of random and has been saying so.

My impression is that most of the cards/mechanics are just too slow and aggro will continue to dominate anyone who doesn't play the established decks that can deal with it. Could be wrong though!

I'm totally with you there, but there will be some interesting new stuff that people eventually come up with. Will it change the meta from "lol hunter smash u"? Proooobbably not. But maybe some fun shit will happen anyway.

It would be cool if paladin secrets weren't so weak, or if there wasn't a significant chance you'd already drawn into some of your secrets by the time you can play him. I'd definitely rather play the neutral 6 drop that gives you a random paladin card.

It definitely seems that way. It's possible though that having a couple inspire interactions on the board is just too dangerous for aggro to rush face. We'll have to see.

Wonder if they plan to release 8/18 to basically fuck the meta up for the rest of this month.(and probable next)

It shouldn't. It says 'whenever you summon a beast, reduce the cost of this card by 1'. Unless you mean unleash through Nefarian

Aggro will always be an archetype in every card game and always be strong doesn't mean there isn't room for other options.

The very aspect of there being random card draw makes other archetypes viable despite their flaws on paper.

I mean, it does seem a bit ridiculous to give them two collectible legendaries in a single xpac, but they both suck so who cares?
