Thinking of the possibilities.. probably only actually usable in hand din and evolve shaman, since warlock already got Karakazhan and it never saw play. That said, no actual warlock cards were released so maybe..
For starters, I want to say I actually really really like Dopplegangster. However, the powercreep on Force of Nature is quite obvious. I'm not really a druid player so I don't mind it that much, but a neutral rare being so much better than a class epic is disconcerting.
That being said, it's obvious this card is designed with the Grimestreet Gang cards in mind, since most of them buff minions in the hand. If my theory on Don Han'Cho is correct and that he, as leader of the Grimestreet Gang, will also provide buffs to minions in hand (I'm hoping for something more unique than just stats), being able to put such a buff on Dopplegangster could be game changing.
Even without buffs, this card is still good. You're just getting Force of Nature in the form of a battlecry minion. The moment you can land a single buff though, the value is insane. I'm going to vote very good. I'm not sure this is in the realm of meta-defining yet, but with more in hand buffs though, and possibly some more unique ones, this card can easily make the list.
this.....is a preeeeeeeeeettty good card lmao. fun with brann for sure.....jeez i wasn't gonna preorder this xpac but all these good cards is gonna force my hand, so to speak.
I'm really curious wich class will utilize this card in the most powerfull way. Another confirmation that Emperor Thaurissan will not see inclusion in the classic set though, not that this bother me.

This will be so sick with evolve! And there are no shaman cards yet so if theyll push that archtype....holly molly.
Its even absolutely fine on curve for most classes. But with evolve you get 3x 6 mana minions for 6 mana....also Brann+this+evolve just for the fun ok its 9 mana but you get 6x 6 mana+1x 4 mana full board thats likely to win the game in most cases.
Also in Buffadin auto pick and dont forget gettaway kodo....omfg!
A few questions about this one. Obviously we have the hand buffing mechanic but how will this interact with aoe buff effects like Stormwind Champion? Will the battlecry go off first and we are left with 3 buffed 3/3's or is the buff applied first and we get 1 3/3 and then 2 4/4's? This will be very interesting to try out.
Also, this has some busted combo potential with cards that return minions to the hand like Echo of Medivh and Blood Warriors for the mass copies along with Duplicate and Getaway Kodo for the smaller but still super strong hand adding stuff. This card could be pretty busted in the right arena deck though considering how highly sought after Silver Hand Knight is in arena, this could very well be close to it.
Random note but it feels like this is what Blizzard had in mind when they designed Grim Patron. a small body that can spawn a few copies of itself and maybe have some small combo potential with a select few cards, instead of the massively busted combo decks that came from it.
Evolve is far more scary than any of these handbuffers.

The Buff of Stormwind Champion is an aura that the minions gain. And we have already the same effect ingame with Faceless Manipulator. So it will be 3 3/3s. Simply because the aura get's too copied.

Brann Bronzebeard alone, and even better in combination with what follows

Hello.
Can we all just take a quick moment to think about the meta where we didn't hate paladin?
Is Mistcaller rotating out?

This will make Midrange Paladin extremely strong.
