    Hello, brother might be good in arena, but I don't think this will see any play in any competitive deck.

     I see the comparison, haha, but this card allows you to trade the minion away and re-summon it instantly. It's miles ahead of poor Moat Lurker :P

    It's basically a better Annoy-o-Tron, and that card saw a fair amount of play. Divine shield + taunt on a super low cost minion is incredibly frustrating to deal with. The reduced health doesn't mean much in this case because it's the divine shield that's the challenge to get through. Edit: it's also a better version of Argent Squire, which see's play to this day.

    A lot of people saying the initial ability is good, but it really isn't that much better than evolve is it? Evolving twice isn't actually twice as good as evolve to me. The reason evolve is so good is because for 1 mana you can take something like doppel gangster (3 2 mana cards in terms of stats if were generous), and change them into three 6 mana stats. So you're getting theoretically 12 extra mana in stats for 1 mana. Doing that twice only gives you three more mana in stats than before when you did it once. Basically I see this battlecry with the armor as being worth about 2 mana. Which means your paying 3 mana to get this hero power. I don't think current token shammans want that kind of card.

     Exactly. I was excited to see the new Hero card reveals because the others have been so cool thematically and have broken new ground in terms of potential deck-types, but this is uninspired and probably just a poor card to begin with. 
    Edit: At the time of posting this we've only seen DK heros for Mage, Hunter and Shaman.

    Does this mean that minions such as Blazecaller or Fire Plume Phoenix will heal you for their battlecry damage, or is that ability not attributed to them directly?

    Wow, there were some genuinely great cards shown. I love the conditional "if X, cast this again" cards, as their a bit more skill intensive than the usual RNG fiesta. Also, we might actually get a minion based mage deck with a new elemental archetype built around Frost Lich Jaina!

    The way this is worded means that it only affects the players side of the board, not your opponents.

    It'll be interesting to see how Coldarra Drake interacts with the new mage hero power from the death Knight hero card.

    Has anyone ever played Enter the Coliseum?

     Yes! It's a decent comeback card for non-token decks. I actually like it more than Brawl because it's much less random.

    Give this taunt and it's actually pretty great. This seems like it might even push sparring partner into viability (in Wild).

    Entirely dependant on the amount of freeze effects Shaman has access to, and even then it's probably bad. Good weapons generally have the characteristic of being able to kill your opponents minions on curve, yet this requires you to combo with another card to do even that.
