Here's the new art:

Must be a mage spell that costs at least 6 mana.

I see lots of people accusing the new Rafaam for lazy card design because his effect is the same as the Golden Monkey's. But that was the whole point of the card! Rafaam is a callback card to LoE, he's supposed to copy a mechanic from that set, just like Forbidden Words is a callback to all the Forbidden cards from WotOG. Each villain will have one callback card to the expansion they originated from, as stated by Peter Whalen on his Twitter.

Almost never a tempo gain.  Kinda odd for removal.  Could be fun with Marin the Fox in Wild.

 Four Mana kill Malygos, Ysera, Kalecgos. 2-mana kill the 2/14 divine shield taunt ogre.

This spends all your mana thought.

You just spend any additional mana before playing this card. Play a 6-drop or whatever, then use Forbidden Words. That’s mana efficiency.

 Why would it be a volunteer fire department?

 No, It's the Very Fine Deck.

 No, it's the Veriable Frequency Drive

 Obviously he's talking about the Virtual Falsehood Detector.

The deck is trash and extremely anti-control, which only encourages aggro, and since combo decks don't usually have the best anti aggro unless they pull golden hands and top decks, aggro defines the meta with little to no real opposition, since control is largely dead in the current meta. Oh and cards like Deathstalker Rexxar kill control since they negate the downside to facing good control players with aggro decks: running out of resources.

I'd recommend playing something that isn't OTK/combo, but you do you.

Interestingly, I don't find that cloning priest fits the traditional combo/anti-control archetype. I mean, one of the most difficult matchups are odd warrior, which is probably the most prevalent control deck atm. On the other hand, the sheer amount of aoe and removal makes aggro matchups quite easy in my experience.

You'd never cut Maly and Velen, that's the whole deck. Are you playing the double Grizzly version without Shadow Essense? Because I almost always win against aggro with that deck. Mulligan for Zilliax, Grizzly, Eternal Servitude and board clears, and aggro stands no chance against the deck. I'm between rank 10-5 atm where it's mostly hunter of all kinds and zoolock, and this deck is beating all of it.

 No I'm currently running one Grizzly and double SW: Death.  I made tech choices.  However, in most games, I've had nothing to do until turn 6 or 7, because drawing a 5-drop is so rare. 

My tech choice is two Grizzlys (most lists run just one or none at all) exactly because I want to have drawn one by turn 5. I run no deaths and haven't needed them, but I am running one PW: Shield. Make sure you're mulliganning correctly, throw away anything that isn't a Grizzly or Zillax, and if you have one of them, you can keep Eternal Servitude or Shadow Visions to look for it.

EDIT: That's the mulligan for playing aggro, not control.

The number five seems to be recurring: there are five cards on the table (five schemers), five wings in the solo content and five deck recipes with the new Whizbang, Zayle's Cloak. Five also seems to be the most common number of neutral legendaries in a set. My guess is that each of the fortune teller's cards represent a villan/associate from a former expansion that will return as an antagonist in the solo content (one per wing) and a neutral legendary in the new expansion. The fortune teller herself is one of them, and King Togwaggle seems to be the second (mentions of candle+gold, and a crown on the card itself) - other villans could be Rafaam, a Gadgetstan crimeboss or similar.  The five villans are planning something in Dalaran (Underbelly or Voilet Hold both seem reasonable), and the story will be to stop them.

In Boomsday Project, we had Extra Arms, which by the look of the art belongs more to Rastakhan's Rumble. I do not see any other connection between these two expansions.

You're forgetting the Dendrologist in the Boomsday pzzle lab. He says 'Gilnean pumpkins, Zandalari zucchinis' as one of his random voicelines, similar to Experiment C/Nightmare Amalgam in the Monster Hunt. Witchwood=Gilneas, Rastakhan=Zandalar. So maybe we should be looking for clues in the Rumble Run?!

Quote from CheeseEtc >>

 I'm not aware of any card in Boomsday that gave away Rastakhan's Rumble, but there's clearly one card in the latter that really feels out of place with the rest: Auchenai Phantasm. 

In the Boomsday puzzle lab, Dexter the Dendronogist says "Gilnean pumpkins, Zandalari Zucchini" in one of his voicelines, which definitely is a hint to the Zandalari setting of Rastakhan.

I’m one of the degenerates who disenchant all their wild cards. For me, it’s almost a ritual to say a final goodbye to cards by disenchanting them one by one. I’m cleaning up Marie Kondo style: those cards no longer spark joy for me, I’ve played with them too much for too long. Besides, I like the challenge that sometimes aries from not having wild cards and having to make a pure standard deck in a wild brawl for example. I simply have no interest in the many combos and powerful decks that exists in wild. 

I am, however, excited by the return of wild cards in Arena!

Blizzard never announces anything on a Friday, at the earliest we'll get an announcement next Tuesday. And while I thought the same that you did at first - that April 2nd will be the release date for the next expansion - nothing's certain yet. But I hope you're right!

Quote from TardisGreen >>

It would make a bit more sense to announce it during the HCT event this weekend.  It would still be "before March".

Nice clickbait, though.

 Well, the HCT championships starts today. And Blizzard never does announcements during the weekends.
