Man do I hope this is bullshit

Mire Keeper rotates.

Is this card really that good? For mage, it's a 5 mana removal (Assassinate) and for warrior, it's effectively a 3 mana Execute combo card. For pretty much everyone else, it's a 3 mana Corruption with a 1/1 body attached.

I hate to burst everyone's bubbles, but none of that seems all that impressive to me. I voted playable because I think warrior of all the classes might make something happen with this card. Execute is good, so two more would also be good. Beyond that though, I don't see it being played.

 Every class has a way to kill it in the same turn for cheap with class cards they'd run anyways.  Also every class can use Elven Archer.  since this is the first set of the new year I don't expect cards to be "OMG HOLY SHIT NEW META GAME BREAKING SINGLE CARD AUTO INCLUDE" power level....this is a solid neutral hard removal - we haven't seen that before and this is most likely going to affect classes besides mage, warrior, and warlock.  

i hate to burst your bubble but i respectfully disagree with everything you said. 

 So your response is, everyone can play shit cards to make this shit card work? Sounds like a losing strategy to me.

This is to control what patches was to aggro.

You're doing God's work.

Too unique to safely evaluate without play testing. This could be anywhere between Barnes and Trogzor in terms of the accuracy of the community rating. 

Even when I did used to buy pre-orders I've always wanted until the last possible day.

I feel like the 'swap stats every turn' thing is enough of a detriment to warrant cards having extra stats and yet blizz seems to think the opposite, like unreliability is some benefit and they needed to understat the cards to make up for it :/

Likely just slightly worse than Entomb, a card that was Meta Defining in a FAR stronger format (pre-standard) than this next rotation will likely be.

Wowsers that's good

It's symmetrical druid except your opponent always seems to get the benefit first whereupon they can just kill your guy so more like concede druid.

Should we be worried about T5's commitment to forging a diverse meta when they reinforce Cubelock and give every other class memes?

At first I thought this was a common and I was like 'Eh, interesting meme card. Something fun for them to try.' Then I saw the rarity. Blizz, if you're not going to try on half the class legendaries, just don't print two per class...

Cubelock is likely the only deck that will still be playing essentially 0 new cards. They might play Godfrey, but that's likely it as they keep 27 cards of their list which should worry Blizzard more than it apparently does.

 I loved, LOVED Druid from beta to MSoG (and will love them once more once Jade Idol is removed) but as a former MtG player, pre-nerf Innervate existing at any point will always be a sign to me that someone HIGH up on the design team has no idea what they are doing and their continued presence is a hindrance to the game's longevity.
