Dragon Priest will be the next big thing. 

By the way, check Lifecoach's GvG analysis. Paraphrasing:

Malorne -> Great because it protects you from fatigue!

Soulfire nerfed to 1 mana -> His comment is, Soulfire is still good. Because Soulfire was OP at 0 mana and you would play a 3 mana 4 damage. The card is not broken but still good.

After checking Gadgetzan Auctioneer nerf, Malorne again -> Miracle Druid is not that good anymore, but no further comment on Malorne being bad.

Gahzrilla -> Definitely playable card, because it's stats and ability combined are good. Quick comment on Steemwheedle Sniper definitely being played as 2 of in your deck, so there are ways to activate Gahzrilla. 2 Snipers and 2 Kill Commands. - No merntion on Gahzrilla being a slow 7 mana card for hunter, which doesn't even do anything the turn you play it. No comparison with Dr Boom, which contests the 7 mana. Also yeah, 2 steemwheedle snipers. He said that in GvG review. In TGT review, he said they are bad. Guess why?

I'm still watching. But the problem seems to be this: He doesn't check all the set before reviewing the cards. He just looks at cards and straight up begins to evaluate their strengths. He even said so in the TGT review himself! I mean, we know how all these predictions came out. Malorne is useless, because meta became faster and miracle druid is impossible now. Soulfire is not used, probably because of Darkbomb replacing it. Gahzrilla, useless because meta is faster, and Dr Boom is simply better and faster at 7 mana.

He really should look at cards first, analyze their strengths, predict the future metagame, then re-analyze the cards based on the predicted meta. Also to see if any of the new cards will see play instead of some of the current ones. Then do the review. What he repeatedly said during the TGT review is, the meta will be slower. But he evaluates the cards on the current meta anyway. Also, he simply seems much more excited in GvG review than he is in TGT review. Maybe it didn't help that he did the evaluation at 05:00 at night.

Just my observation.

Lifecoach's review is irrelevant.

This is an aweful mixture of on-purpose misunderstandings, hard lies, ignorance concerning his evaluation premises and some horrible evaluations.

"Irrelevant" means it does not change much, it does not mean "bad". If you cannot accept his wording you can call him autistic or whatever, but it does not support your point. On a side note a 2/4 taunt for 3 i would not put in any of my decks, the same goes with chillwind yeti although noone says it is a plain bad card.

He will play Darnassus, the rating was good, if in 7 hours he once said it will not change much, so be it, call him autistic again, he probably meant druid would not be top tier anyway.

Polymorph: Boar........................ especially for tempomage, it is a horrible mixture of HEX and FIREBALL, you do even need tokens for it and kill your own stuff, wtf???

Tuskarr Totemic not in shaman? Lie.

It is another story if you accept his premises, if you do not, just ignore his evaluation and stop ranting about it. Community agrees? I see many ignorant people totally ignoring any kind of systematic evaluation with their own non-logical feeling-based non-argument shit. Also you do not have to agree for 100% or even 80% to still learn from systematic thoughts and >derive< your own conclusions other than "Polymorph: Boar totally strong, because obvious".

Just understand: it is not about someone said something and some people keep repeating it like bots. In his videos some people can agree with 95% of arguments being given, where about 80% are not even debatable given some easy premises. When i come here i read some new random rant, no argumentation to be seen. He is doing mana conversion for the cards. Choose a card, give his mana conversion, say why it is wrong. If you do not accept mana conversion at all: go away, nothing to discuss, forget everything you heard from him.

About the argument "He said Dr. Boom sucks = he's always wrong".

We can say : "He said Loatheb was good = he's always right" ?

Wow ! Mind blown !

Looking back on their reviews now I just completely disregard any input they think they can provide. Their WoG reviews would be similarly depressing if I didn't already know how wrong they are going to be. Lifecoach especially generally has no idea what he is talking about in card reviews.

I'm hoping that we've now figured out that card reviews are similar to weather forcasts past 3 days (anything from now to 3 days forward is typically very accurate excluding craziness that weather can sometimes do.  Anything after 3 days is..umm.. not so much).

Watch them to hear some interesting insights into how people try to evaluate cards or just for interesting dialogue, but never use them as an accurate judge on what works and what won't work in WoG before it comes out.  I'm pretty sure even they would tell you that if you ask them.  

And for #*$()#)(%#$ sake DO NOT USE ANYONE'S OPINION, NOT EVEN YOURS, IN DETERMINING WHICH CARDS TO CRAFT!  Do not trust ANYONE until about 2 weeks into an expansion. 

That goes for both listening to and disregarding reviewers.  Trump, for example, got a TON of flak over praising fel reaver..until it got into tournament play via mech shaman and later aggro druid.  Meanwhile the BIG meta shifter cards have regularly been missed by just about everyone, including Dr. Boom and Mysterious Challenger (technically Grim Patron but Kripp has a point that this was due to a bug with warsong getting stealth fixed which, if still in effect, would've ruined the patron combo.  OTOH, even with warsong not in play Grim Patron has proven to be much stronger than intiailly thought).  

Listening to card reviewers is similar to watching previews of movies and games, interesting and can be useful if taken with not cynicism but realism.  TRUSTING reviewers and basing your opinion on an expansion or card on them (or worse, deciding your crafting/buying decisions on them) is like preord3ring based on those game previews.  

Amaz had the best reviews of this set so far and he rated most things very low. which they are. only the latest revealed cards are making the set actually playable.
