New Keyword: Recruit
Cards with the Recruit keyword immediately summon minions from your deck and put them into play. Some cards recruit minions that match certain conditions; others recruit randomly chosen minions.
Spellstones
Spellstones are a new type of card which can be upgraded during play! Once you fulfill a listed condition, such as playing two Elemental minions, the card upgrades into a more powerful version.
Unidentified Items
Unidentified Items are cards which when put into your deck don't have a predetermined effect. When the card is put into your hand, the effect of the card will become known. Each item has its own pool of effects that it can randomly choose from.
New Cards
So far, 135 cards have been revealed out of 135.

Same thing happened to me. Haha!
There is no mechanical reason that should happen, but flavorwise that makes sense. The giant worm ate the poisonous snake, then got poisoned and died.
I was kind of hoping for some more interesting freeze cards for Shaman, I liked the idea of Freeze shaman but honestly there aren't a lot of tools for it to be too viable. Either way, this new expansion hasn't really hyped me up as others in the past, I think I need a break from this game for a while.
This is interesting as I have the opposite feeling: the set looks well designed and fun.
It definitely seems a bit under the power level curve when compared to mean streets or old gods, but I appreciate them trying to slow the game a bit.

I love dragon decks I hope this meta will bring some :)
Careful what you wish for, I remember hoping and praying for stronger paladin decks going into TGT and then living in dismay as I watched my favorite class become cancer :(
OMG im just remembering the cancer that was secret paladin
Im hearing the Museum right now

I'm hoping the new meta would not rotate around legendary cards,
no giants this time...
Missed opportunity for a Wax Giant...
