I personally think High Priestess Jeklik might be the card to really make disco warlock work. It won't be top teir, but now that discarding can provide more cards instead of losing them, it might see some serious play.
Isn't it obvious? It's Dozing Marksman, as his flavour text suggests.
But in all honesty I think there are many cards with great potential and we can't really decide which will be the most played one, until we actually test them and compare the power levels of the decks they are used in. I personally think, that Gurubashi Offering is one of the underrated cards. I am not saying it's 5 stars or anything, but I just think people are downgrading it due to its effect not being an immediate one. I think, that we can easily play it on turn 1, behind a taunt or after a clear and we will get the health bonus. But even if someone decides to throw a charger at it, it would act as a soft taunt.

and then you gain.. 8 armor and lose the minion too.. that card is horrendously bad 0/2 taunt for 1 is also terrible
Saronite Taskmaster. Remember how good Zombie Chow was? This is better. Not only it is amazing tempo, but it is also lowkey counters Big priest and Hadronox druid, which is sweet. Plus you can potentially build some meme decks to lock your opponent's board with 0/3s and just fatigue them. Amazing.

Yeah, so? Think of it as a neutral spell that grants you armour, but has a delayed effect (and it's counterable).
I think that in some control decks (e.g. warlock) the 8 health gain might be very attractive. You won't play this minion on the board, when it can be easily traded off, you play it when a) the opponent doesn't have a board and is obligated to use a spell or a silence and b) when you have a taunt/a bunch of taunts, which the opponent can't get through. I think that the 1-mana cost makes it easy for us to squeeze it after a board clear. If the opponent uses an answer other than a silence - let's say zoolock - then this minion can save us 5 health (Doomguard), 6 health (Leeroy Jenkins) or 4 (Soulfire), which is still nice.
The only deck, which I consider it will act as a true counter to this card, is odd rogue and their 2-attack weapon. I won't be able to play the offering after a board clear and w/o a taunt, but on turn 1, if they decide to coin into their HP and give up tempo, then the outcome is still good.
The offering could have been stronger as a 0-cost minion (and 6 armour gain to compensate the effect), it could have been broken as a deathrattle minion and useless, if the deathrattle triggered only on the opponent's turn. It's not great, but it has some potential.
@kovacht 8 healing for 1 is good but getting it to trigger is quite hard I also though that 3/3 for 4 "if the board is empty gain +3/+3" is easy to trigger the board is almost never empty
should've had 3 hp or cost 0 it was released too underpowered
Will all respect to you, but Night Prowler was never really useful to begin with. Where did you think it would fit in? Certainly not in combo or control decks, because it doesn't offer a taunt. Aggro decks tend to fill the board every turn and hunter has better 4-drops (Houndmaster, Houndmaster Shaw, Flanking Strike). A control deck could possibly play a board clear, but 4 mana is kinda hard to squeeze.
This minion is cheaper and its effect is actually valuable, if it triggers. I agree now only with you but with other people as well, that it would have been better with a 0 cost or 3 health, but I think this is still useful. I would use it in my control warlock deck and replace the Plated Beetles with it. Unlike Jainaishot's decks mine are extremely defensive and this minion should fit nicely there. It proposes a small risk, but I think it's totally worth it.

Ornery Tortoise. An overstatted beast where the only tradeoff is using your HP as a resource? Seems pretty great for midrange Hunter.
I think Totemic Smash could make Malygos Shaman viable.
Pounce its pretty much Backstab for druid
Treespeaker
Devaste. Lol

Griftah
Half-Time Scavenger, it looks really solid in some Inner fire/divine spirit Priest
Amani War Bear might also shine in the right decks

Asks for a sleeper card, mentions one of the best voted cards in the set.

cannon barrage seems like the sleeper card, seems like rogue could sustain a lot of pirates on board and use cannon barrage as a finisher
Elemental Evocation
Amani War Bear
Rain of Toads
Stampeding Roar
Those are all in that conversation, in my opinion.
Sign me up for those two as well.
