    I honestly believe they will go to there original mana cost. The 1 mana cost is specifically from Academic Espionage. Augmented Elekk will most likely just be programmed with base copies rather than modified.

    There is potential for it, but it seems obvious that with this theme that Blizz is doing with priest. They want them to play more tempo/deathrattle without question.

    I honestly think this will still be too slow to be seen in meta. The four slot for mage is pretty competitive in what you will fit in and generally you won't be playing this minion for the stats, but for the spell damage. So it is not really a 4 mana minion from my point of view and we already got a better card revealed for that purpose with Celestial Emissary.

    I like the flavor of the card, but unless "healing" means doing "damage". This just ends up being dust. This literally just has Lifesteal and the flavor text added so it won't be Shielded Minibot 2.0

    There are two downsides to this card, but the positives do outweigh the negatives. First downside is that the cards are random of opponent's class cards (not deck) which could have poor results such as Totemic Might. The second downside further exemplifies the first in that you are inflating your deck by 10 cards which means it could become more difficult to draw into a card you would usually need.

    This is why you will more likely use this card in some manner that exploits the value rather than depend on RNGesus being on your side. The fact the cards cost one though essentially prevents it from being punishing to use.

    Only takes one Tirion Fordring. Lab Recruiter is more than happy to create an army of them.

    This does get me thinking though that it could be a fun deck if you are focused on stealing cards and then do Myra's Unstable Element when you have an ideal card plus two Lab Recruiter. It is obviously very gimmicky which is why I say it is for fun.

    Turns out there are a lot of possibilities being made with Myra's Unstable Element. This card added a whole new one which is faster than Pogo-Hopper, but the question becomes if you can get the value you need from Academic Espionage in combination with Tess Greymane with them being random. Keep in mind, it mentions opponent's "class" and not deck.

    In constructed, this cards purpose is more generalized as being a deathrattle and mech. In terms of the mech part, you could see it used in Mech Warrior if that is a meta deck. Otherwise more likely it is meant to try and assure that you have a mech body to magnetize.

    Have to see what control deck becomes meta. In the past, cards like Varian Wrynn were not played because the value of battlecry minions were generally too good. So building around that card did not prove optimal compared to another deck. This card does have a slight advantage in that you know what you will summon onto the field though which might make it more viable. But again, have will need to see what cards will be optimal to work with it and for it to be the best for warrior.

    Or play Myra's Unstable Element followed up by Pogo-Hopper and Lab Recruiterx2. You then just need to have some card draw and it is Jade 2.0. Include Valeera the Hollow and you can increase the value you want out of each of those.

    Can pull Righteous Protector, Tar Creeper, Stonehill Defender and other cards that we don't know if they are meta yet like Faithful Lumi. Paladin is one of the few if only classes that can get proper value out of this card draw specification.

    Now potentially really good with the reveal of Celestial Emissary. Would be ideal in a tempo mage deck if said deck is the best that can be played in meta.

    The difference with this and Hand of Protection is that the Divine Shield is not visibly on the field. So this is a case where you can actually use Divine Shield defensively whereas Hand of Protection would be used offensively because the shield can not be pinged off as easily. If Druid and Rogue are prevalent in the meta though, then this card is far less useful.

    Very strong secret and you could even combo it with Noble Sacrifice. Obviously that is not the best way to use it, but it is almost like having an untargetable Shielded Minibot with taunt for the same cost minus the health.

    This card does have potential. The underlying text is more like "Choose a Mech and give it 2/4 with Divine Shield and Taunt". So the Divine shield can be used immediately on a mech that can attack and it gains health. The attack increase can also allow for some responsiveness.

    Edit: Another way to look at it. It is like a modified version of Blessing of Kings . Lose the two attack in exchange for Taunt and Divine Shield, but only with mechs.
