Doomsayer has for a long while been part of a control pally's kit as well as something that blows us out from time to time. Moving forward, it looks possibly even more important for and against us. I just thought I would sort of see what others were thinking but here are my lines of thinking:
Un'Goro is very heavy in taunt. This means that there are affordable taunt minions accessible to many classes in the lower mana brackets. Dropping a cheap taunt + doomsayer will be hard to beat.
Glacial Shard + Doomsayer will be very efficient in locking up a minion and keeping the pressure off of Doomsayer for a turn for it to proc. This is a 2 card combo that can be used very cheaply and possibly even multi tasked into a turn with a weapon equip or something.
Its possible that these two are not as big as I am hyping them but at the same time perhaps they are. I was just curious to see what everyone else thought about Doomsayer moving forward and if you felt it also might see an increase in performance this set release.
Doomsayer got even stronger because everyone is going to be playing Tar Creeper to counter aggro and that cant pressure a Doomsayer at all, also doomsayer is going to mess with elemental decks so bad because they wont be able to play a elemental that requires a elemental the previous turn because they had to skip a turn, paladin is still going to rely on doomsayer because lost in the jungle wont be enough and the murloc is just a value play
Glacial shard is great with doomsayer, it is alot like the frost nova combo but you need to not be too far behind for it to work, i have 2 of those in my deck and small time recruits to fetch them when i need them
This combo might be a bit unreliable, since it's a two card combo that only locks one enemy in place.
If you consider it not as a potential game changing combo but in what kind of deck, then you are either playing doomsayers in your aggro deck or 1 drops in your control deck, while the combo always costs two cards and usually doesn't outvalue the opponent.
I think glacial shard is best used in an aggressive deck for tempo, to rob the opponent of an interaction.
Doomsayer is maybe even going down in value since elemental decks snowball based on the last turn. They will be inclined to just play their low cost elementals into the Doomsayer to secure a better turn afterwards.
Stonehill Defender + doomsayer however, could be a consideration since then you might be stealing initiative and not trading 2 for 2-3.

With frost nova you can kill galavadon easily
