Look the year doesnt dictate the cards that will get printed but more like the themes, except year of the Kraken which was a crapshoot in the dark due to it being the first standard year, for the other years let's go over them
Year of the mammoth: represented Big prehistoric things (un'goro) cold(frozen throne), and MASSIVE dungeons (kobolds and catacombs) because mammoths are massive, prehistoric and live in the cold, and only one mammoth card got printed during this year.Year of the Raven: represented haunting places where ravens tend hang out (witchwood), Intelligence since Ravens are regarded as the smartest avians by actual scientific communities (Boomsday project), and the Spiritual side that the Ravens are usually associated with with the Champions of Rastakhan rumble summoning the power of their animal based Loas, and only one Raven card got printed over this year, two if you count Ravencaller. because Ravens are haunting, intelligent and often associated with magic and spirituality
Year of the Dragon: so far is represented by an unsurmountable harsh challenge (Draconian) with the leagues of shadows rising during rise of shadows, and the heroes that take on those challenges with the Saviours of Uldum, because Dragons usually represent a massive obstacle on a hero's journey and well a Hero's journey needs one or more heroes.
Well, someone has done his literature homework pretty well. If I were your teacher, you'd have already got an A.

Zephrys does derp out sometimes, but the important thing to remember is that you have to guide zephrys to the right amount of mana equal to the card you want. So if you want fireball then you have to make sure that you play zeph when you have 6 mana left.

Don't worry bro. A lot of those neutral cards will still be good. Mage cards as well. Only downside is luna's pocket galaxy, and that's just one card. So chin up, next exp will be good :D.

XD people who keep commenting about zephyrys offering anything other than Classic or Basic cards are the funniest XD

Topsy Turvy is not from the Basic or Classic card set, so he can't offer it.

I know right? I like that hearthstone is expanding their "game mechanics". They should make more interesting stuff like this, I don't care if they have to write a whole paragraph in the card description/effect box.

This is actually good. Maybe not yet in the "usable" kind of way but in a new kind of mechanic for hs. It's a fresh new mechanic, in this case it's a win condition around which you're deck would most likely be built. Still good new stuff.

*sigh* I don't like murloc pally T-T. But on the bright side I thought about it for a while and this might actually have good synergy with Chef Nomi as well. So looking forward to seeing it in action.
