The Darkness - 5 - obviously this will be insane with a silence or anytime you can give it taunt, but without those (and lots of those!) types of triggers for it, it's undraftable. Silence priest buff, cuz why not have another insane priest deck in the meta? :/
The Darkness won't work with silence and/or taunt. It's dormant until the condition is met, which is like Sherazin form after it dies - you can't target it etc.
I would rate Lilian Voss as a 4 to be honest. the stats are good, but the effect is terrible for arena.
A big part of what makes rogue one of the best classes in arena are the great spells. why would I want to switch them for junk? most of the time it'll hurt the player who plays it, especially now with even more bad spells you can get from your opponent (Glacial Mysteries etc.)
When you have no spells it's a Yeti. which is fine (long gone are the days when yeti was the arena king)
Archbishop Benedictus is substantially better in Arena than it is in Constructed, though it entirely depends on the quality of your own deck. If you have a weak deck then shuffling your opponents into it is only going to make it stronger, if you have a strong deck then all you do is risk weakening your own. Since in Arena you're not going to have combo decks, shuffling your opponents in isn't nearly as much of a detriment as it is in Constructed. Really difficult to rate, potentially amazing, potentially terrible, very draft dependent.
It's terrible in arena. 5 for sure.
You lose tons of tempo, spending your entire turn 7 playing a weak minion that does pretty much nothing when it enters the board.
To all those who think this card will be good, I highly suggest you read this article Kibler wrote about Fel Reaver, and especially the first half of it.
While old, it perfectly explains why burning cards from your opponent's deck is way different than burning cards in hand and why it doesn't really do much.
It doesn't work like that at all, and weirdly enough it is now becoming a common mistake to try to relate these two. You are trying to compare the passive RNG of important cards staying at the bottom of your deck, which is a perfectly acceptable condition of every card game & one we've all been through, to the active (and at least double) active card destruction from the top of your opponent's deck. The distance between these two is quite big.
Plus, there is a crucial difference: Fel Reaver was throwing away your OWN cards in a deck specially made not to bother you for losing them. GV is actively destroying your opponent's cards, which he put there for a very specific purpose. Apples to oranges?
Did you even read the article? the first half of it, like I wrote, specifically talks about destryoing your OPPONENT'S deck, not your own. the first half of it doesn't even talk about fel reaver.
It seems unlikely that he read the article, which is unfortunate.
The community reaction to the card is among the most interesting I can remember - the range runs from people angrily threatening to quit playing Hearthstone altogether, to people angrily complaining that the card is worse than Crocolisk. While there doesn't appear to be any reason to be angry, the folks comparing the new card to Crocolisk seem to understand the mechanic much better than those who suspect the card will somehow kill the game. Removing a card from the opponent's deck has a fairly reasonable chance of doing something valuable against a combo deck - but few combo decks rely on exactly one copy of a single card. The effect has less of an impact against control decks, and virtually no impact at all on midrange or aggro decks. Some folks seem impressed that milling Tirion is a potential game-winning play. When played on curve, the new card has about one chance in twenty-five of milling Tirion. About 96% of the time, Gnomeferatu is simply increasing the odds of the opponent drawing Tirion by turn eight.
Even if it does destroy tirion, it's not the single important card paladin has. Paladin can currently even get another tirion, or simply crush you through value via various other cards and answers he has.
So 1 game in 20 or so it destroys Tirion? it's like currently in 1 game out of 20 or so Paladin simply doesn't even draw tirion. it really has zero meaning.

This card is a weaker Sword of Justice which rarely saw play, Paladin had/has more token generators and pretty much never played it. This card is potentially infinite, but with a body on the board it can be interacted with and removed unlike SoJ.
Druid now has tons of token generators, and the fact that this bear is 1 mana cheaper than the sword makes a huge difference.
Guys one question ! I know it is not relevant. They said that from Monday we will have more slots ! What about standard format? Is it coming on Monday or in Late April together with the expansion.

Well...we might get something like gadgeztan auctioneer? and a new murloc? :P
Mage got the new portal (which is...somewhat like a fireball...?) and we got a new neutral legendary demon (the 2nd in the game after illidan)

I'm not even sure it's consistent enough to be good in mill decks?
But yeah, for sure a terrible card in any other deck type.
