There is no such thing as a second Dr.Balanced. Blizzard is slowly learning. That's good :) 

And I still think Nexus Champion Saarad is underrated

Nexus-Champion Saraad has potential in the right deck, but it's got too much going against it to just be thrown into any deck that can't support it properly. It's stats aren't horrible but 4/5 for 5 Mana isn't great. The effect is slow to trigger, unless you've got a Fencing Coach set up. The RNG of the effect, considering the myriad of subpar spells in each class, just isn't worth it. All in my opinion, of course.

Quote from Mister_Smith jump

Dr. Boom is great because it is a card with universally strong power level. It fits in almost any deck that is slightly slower than pure aggro making it a great addition to everything from Midrange to Control decks throughout the whole class pool of hearthstone there is always an archetype that can make use of the card.

Justicar Trueheart is straight out terrible for a bunch of classes and even for those classes that get an actually useful upgrade to their hero power the card is still horribly slow with a terrible stat line making it only viable in late game, control type decks. It just can not be compared to boom by any stretch of the imagination.

Gormock The Impaler, I feel, is the must have neutral card. His effect is a great early removal tool for Paladins... and you also get his 4/4 body.

As far as class specific cards, it's definitely Mysterious Challenger. You are going to see A LOT of this card, and their is going to be a million threads made to show possible counters to the deck that this card is in.

Not good enough. That's like killing one head of a 4 headed Hydra.

on turn 6 he plays mysterious and gets 4 secrets= redemption/noble sac/avenge/competitive spirit

You ping him with your weapon/minion and noble sacrifice dies, gets revived and mysterious challenger becomes a BGH target. Now he only has competitive spirit left. Its not a threat. Play another BGH.

Quote from Cronos988 jump

Mysterious challenger is certainly up there with Dr. Boom in terms oft power. The value is great and the Tempo gain is absolutely insane. Draw and immediately play 4 cards and full body value. And Paladin was already powerful. And all of the secrets are still decent to good individually. Is there any drawback at all to this card? I mean best case it immediately wins you the game, worst case it's a 6/6 for 6.

Not to mention that it's an epic card, and you can run two of them in your deck. OpieOP!

Oh so I only need board control and BGH in Hand to not loose immediately? What a relief. And if he plays the challenger on an empty board? Or has another token out? In other words, what to do if I don't happen to be in a perfect position already?

You dont have to be in perfect position. Just BGH and a pingable weapon/minion. Is that too much to ask? 

IF you play BGH you're ahead.
