Is it just me, or does it feel like all the cards released so far seem like super interesting cards that can find a place?? After seeing the card lone champion I can't help but think that this expansion will really be amazing, there have been so many build around cards so far, THIS IS GONNA BE A SUPER COOL EXPANSION EVERYONE!! IM PSYCHED!!
The cards so far really do all seem interesting in their own way, though I'm sure this set will contain some amount of pack fillers as well, we just haven't seen them yet.^^
Don't worry at some point they will reveal a lame card and with the final revel you will see all the other pack fillers, there have to be pack fillers for sure, not all cards can be good, that's not a good bussiness for either side and blizzard loves their money so they won't shoot their own foot like that.
1. So far its like what... 25 cards that has been revealed? Sure be hyped for the expansion but don't be hyped over something which doesn't make sense to be hyped for since...
2. ... filler cards are necessary for expansions. You need the arena cards of varying qualities and to test out certain mechanics to see if they work or do not. Something like Hired Gun is a filler card yet it is one heck of an arena card. Murloc Tinyfin, Bog Creeper, Alleycat, etc. could all easily be qualified as filler cards. Being a 'filler' card is used as a negative yet they are sometimes some of the best cards from an expansion.
3. It has a negative tone to it yes but... in reality, there's nothing wrong with a 'filler' card since that just means they fulfill a different purpose than to be seen every single match. Some cards are designed intentionally to be powerful Drakonid Operative for an example where as other cards like Bonemare that are just filler cards, all of a sudden appear everywhere.
It doesn't mean anything bad or wrong to be a 'filler' card so... be hyped for the expansion but may I suggest not thinking about cards in terms of being 'fillers'? They usually just fulfill a different role than what you are thinking about that they fulfill! ^^'
Feral Gibberer may end up more powerful than we think. We don't know yet if buffs copy to your hand. If you can get one to stick, use Spikeridge on it and go face, and the buff copies... !!!
Unlikely? Of course! Being a 1/1 it may very well die as soon as it hits the board. But even if you play it and cast Spikeridge right away on your turn 7 (6 w/coin) and it takes a little damage, say you get a 1 mana 3/4 taunt with the Spikeridge deathrattle in your hand. I would call that major value!

It was already confirmed that buffs do not stick. Regardless, there isn't even a card in the game that keeps buffs when returned to hand, unless it otherwise states it, but no card like that exists..

Bonemare is... filler? o.O OPPOSITE DAY! IT'S OPPOSITE DAY EVERYONE!
No new mechanic that specifically synergizes with anything else in the expansion
Interesting stat-distribution that makes it stand out
Their powerlevel is dependent on practical implications rather than their hypothetical one
Have to be easily accessable (i.e. being a common or a rare)
Both of Alleycat and Bonemare fulfill these requirements perfectly. Its not an universally defined terminology but the entire point of something 'filling out a pack' is to provide substance for the rest of the things in the pack. That means they can't be overly flashy, in most cases they are there to be bad from a traditional TCG perspective (albeit this being a digital CCG instead imposes some differences so the general rule of 'they have to be bad' is one that I have removed from my list of required defintions).
Another way to phrase it is like this... since Lakkari Sacrifice was designed to be an interesting but not top-end competitive deck, does that make that card a pack filler? I'd say no because it doesn't fulfill any of the criteria that I listed where as others simply states that "anything that isn't powerful or seen being played by professional players is a pack filler" which... makes it a popularistic term rather than anything with an actual purpose to it.
That is like saying every common and rare card that doesn't have a new mechanic is pack filler. Is Meteor pack filler? I guess so since it is exactly the same as Cone of Cold, but way better.
The pack fillers are coming. Unfortunately, none of them will be as good as Ultrasaur!

Aw, don't jinx it. :D

Blizzard usually gives the interesting cards for the daily reveals and puts the pack fillers in the final card dump, so they're coming!
Don't worry at some point they will reveal a lame card and with the final revel you will see all the other pack fillers, there have to be pack fillers for sure, not all cards can be good, that's not a good bussiness for either side and blizzard loves their money so they won't shoot their own foot like that.
You mean except for the Druid weapon?
we're still waiting patiently for a variation of rager
No pack filler, but they did a legendary filler with this Shaman weapon aka "We need to give a weapon to Shaman but we have no idea what to do"
pack fillers dont come till the end.
On the third day before Witchwood, Blizzard gave to me,
three Handlock decks,
two Molten Giants
and a winstreak to Legend Rank #3
Disclaimer: This is a fictional poem and this didn't actually happen to me.
Feral Gibberer is a filler card at best.
Other than that, you're right. Even the bad cards revealed thus far are bad in an interesting way.
good luck to build around mage/shaman/druid weapons
Lol I think there doing that just to trick people into thinking there isnt any.
OMGH AHAH JUST WHEN THIS GOT LIVE A PACK FILLER GOT REVEALED LOLOL .THERE LISTENING HAHAHA

most of the cards so far look like garbage to me but if you mean vanilla card pack filler then i guess we haven't seen any of that yet
I predict a 0 mana 1/1 Elemental. Screenshot it, boys.
