Goblins vs Gnomes: Goblins! Gnomes!
Quote from BlizzardIn the coming weeks we’ll be talking about what makes Goblins vs Gnomes so delightful, weird, and wonderful—and we’re revealing some of the new cards along the way! Each blog will show off some cards and explore different themes and mechanics that are featured in Goblins vs Gnomes.
Today we’re talking about the two short-but-mighty races that embody the type of zany antics that will surprise you at every turn in the expansion:
Goblins and Gnomes
A rivalry that spans Warcraft’s long history, pitting the brilliant, but unstable, minds of Azeroth’s most creative denizens against one another in a contest to create the most amazing, crazy, smoke-spewing, gear-grinding, time-bending, earth-rattling inventions ever conceived.These little gals and guys have a way of getting under our skin. Their antics inspire affection in many, and annoyance in some, but they always get a reaction. The manic mayhem that seems to happen whenever they’re around is a natural fit for the delightful surprises you’ll find in Hearthstone.
Goblins
Goblins are known for their keen business sense and an unhealthy affection for massive explosions. They like their gold, but nothing gets a goblin’s pulse pounding like a ticking timer or a fuse fizzing down. When you draw a Goblin card, you know that things are about to get LOUD. And messy. Very, very messy.Gnomes
The brilliant, but also probably crazy, gnomes love to tinker. Their insatiable curiosity, genius, and utter disregard for safety and common sense all lead them to tinker with just about everything, including machinery, time, space, and the essential biology of friends and foes alike. When you see a Gnome card on the board, it’s a safe bet that things are gonna get weird.There’s more to come, so stay tuned! Don’t forget to visit www.goblinsvsgnomes.com to help decide which Goblins vs Gnomes cards will be revealed before the expansion arrives!

We've got all the cards previewed at BlizzCon available in our card database.
I like build around me cards like Goblin Sapper. With the Rogue Mill decks coming back, this card could be a MVP. The deck will need some balancing though so you are not diluting it with all these neat additions being spoiled.
Hello! Barber-mech is not a rogue card, it a pala card.
T1 Light's Justice. T2 Goblin Auto-Barber => 4 turns of nice board clearing.
Maybe you misunderstood. It is literally a Rogue card. Paladins can't use it.
HELLO Shadow Madness into Recombobulator
Nothing I like more as a priest than more ways to steal my enemies minions.
Goblin Auto-Barber
T2 dagger pass, T3 Deadly poison + barber. You get a 4/2 weapon with a 3/2 on board on turn 3. This has the potential to replace an Si7 or shiv/Fan.
Man, they're really giving a lot of tools to mill strategies! It'll be interesting to see how much and how high on the the ladder it shows up.
Any information from devs, if we get a second class legendary?
uh they released a class legendary?
nvm: i see what you're asking. i would have to assume there will be a second class legendary for all classes
I made it clearer ^^
i really hope they do but since there's going to be 130+ cards, i think the odds are favorable that they will
I'm not using Twitter, but if anybody here does, he could ask Ben Brode, maybe he answers ^^
My instinct says No. They have already announced that each class gets a Mech minion, so one Legendary per class would make 1/6 of the set class-specific minions. That really looks too lop-sided a ratio to my eyes.
it appears there will be class legendaries

I've always shied away from registering a twitter account till now, but with all of these dev replies, and card voting, I'm becoming very tempted.
Between the new Goblin Sapper and the Clockwork Giant there's more then enough options to start attacking Handlocks and Freeze Mages and other card hogs. I love Handlock, but it's good to see Blizzard attacking dominant decks and deck archetypes with new cards like this.
Now we just need some card that's good against Deathrattle cards....
Mass Dispel perhaps? It's fantastic on paper imo.
There was another card previewed on the Hearthstone website with the Goblin Lobber a Goblin Sapper 2/4 for 3 that gets 4 attack if your opponent has 6 or more cards in hand.

Edit: Literally added as I was posting this
Is it effected by Spell Power?
No. It just adds to your weapon attack power.
I like the fact that this card is relevant no matter when you play it. Early on it would pose a threat to the opponent cope with the fact that it makes your vanilla weapon turn into a 2/x weapon that can deal with a lot of 1-2 mana drops. Later on it steps up your game in the event you play Assassin's Blade and/or Deadly Poison.
