    Yup, gotta correct you. Raza's effect remains the entire game, regardless of hero power changes.

    I think it's nice because it's easily controllable. In a deck like the old N'zoth Paladin list, which ran Tirion, Cairne, and Sylvanas only, this card would be a great addition. I don't think it's meta-defining but certainly it should see some experimentation. 4 stars

    Judging from your username you aren't qualified to speak favorably about 4 mana 3/5s because you automatically have a confirmation bias. /s

    Barnes will be at worst a 4 mana Spider Tank + 1/1 which is worse than a yeti in almost all cases. HOWEVER, the reason why I think Barnes will be insane is because of synergy with on-board effects, inspire, and deathrattle cards. If you design a deck around it (say, Freeze Mage), you can almost be guaranteed value. You will get a Loot Hoarder, Bloodmage Thalnos, Archmage Antonidas, Malygos, Emperor Thaurissan, or Alexstrasza (vanilla 1/1), and by late game you can already reduce your options to get exactly what you want. In other words, it can become an additional win condition, which is extremely important against almost any matchup. Retrospectively, you can just stick it into a deck with lots of deathrattles or on-board effect minions (cough Control Paladin with Tirion, Sylvanas, Cairne, either Ragnaroses, Ysera, etc etc) and still profit most of the time. Heck, just getting a 1/1 with divine shield or taunt could be decent too.

    Its 4/5 in stats at the worse, which is a yeti. If it gets a good card it could be worth quite a bit more. Death rattles in particular could be a treat. This may be the best card revealed so far.

     a 3/4 and a 1/1 does not equal a 4/5
    a 3/4 = 3 mana
    a 1/1 = 0 mana
    0 mana + 3 mana = 3 mana .
    a 4/5 is 4 mana .
     Lol, by that logic Stand Against Darkness and Wisps of the Old Gods would be 0 mana and Muster for Battle would be 1 mana (because of the Light's Justice. FailFish

    A 10 mana 7/7  draw 3 spells? 10 mana War Golem + Nourish in one card? Even in the worst case, it's still insane.

    If it were 2 mana then it would be too overpowered. Flamecannon is 2 mana deal 4 damage to a random minion, and the ability to target minions only is usually better than the ability to target all characters when it's random. 3 mana maybe.

    This is so bad.

    Even if you can control which cards you discard, and even if you have two of these to discard perfectly controlled, these aren't worth card slots in your decks. It's a 4 mana flamecannon meaning it's borderline un"playable", and even if you get it for free you would need an empty hand with this or just pray to RNGesus that you're lucky.

    Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this will see constructed play, but I don't see it.

    You can kill the weapon faster by replacing it with another weapon, giving the deathrattle immediately. Not only that, but the weapon itself does 2 damage to anything (even if you take the damage yourself and you can't bypass taunts) so it's not a tempo loss. Even with the 4 cost, it's pretty comparable to Assassin's Blade (which is a 5 mana 3/4) so overall I think this weapon is pretty decent. Even if it doesn't fit the current shaman archetypes I'm sure new decks will come out with this card included.
