Looking at the comments, so much hyperbole comments. "Urgh! Another disappointing expansion!" "Decent expansion." "Excited for the expansion! OMG!!"
This shows that the community is terrible at making an analysis of the set. A lot of emotional outbursts and exaggerated claims. Super fucking annoying.
Who makes these hyperbole comments anyways? 12 year olds or something? It's hard to have a proper discussion if folks are just gonna be prideful idiots most of the time.

Don't worry, this card is complete garbage. All the legendary cards up through 6 mana are trash if they are just summoned to your side of the board, with VERY few exceptions. And beyond that the Shaman class doesn't really have much in the way of spells

You know what... I am a better person than Hearthstone and my ideals and dignity actually count for something. I will skip the classic pack this week. I am not going to just let the game beat me. Surrender to the villains who have taken Dalaran city? No, I think not. My self respect is worth more than any amount of packs they could offer up. Which is more than the developers can say for themselves, obviously.

"No rewards, except prestige and fun." - Quoted from above.
This means I will not be playing this game mode unless I am forced to through some other means. Without any rewards this is purely a waste of time. Without a reward of some kind, even if it is slight, I have absolutely no motivation to play this. "For fun" is not adequate motivation. There are tons of things that are fun I could be doing, playing Hearthstone, let alone this game mode, are not at the top of the list, and especially is there is no reward.

These echo cards are "win more" cards. The only time you are actually able to capitalize on their value is if you are already winning.
Say you play this card on turn 10 with 10 mana... Maybe you play it 5 times. You just spent 10 mana and your whole turn doing basically nothing. Meanwhile, your opponent just smacked you in the face for 15 damage and you only have 2 HP left. Oops.
The only way you can really get what these cards are worth, or more, is to already have control of the game, you have to already be winning. Or at least tied for board control, or about to gain control. If you are behind, even a tiny bit, these echo cards will lose you the game.

The release of the expansion will be on a Thursday, regardless of whatever else happens. The expansion releases have always been on a Thursday. So fi the expansion does not drop on the 5th, then the next earliest it can come is the 12th.

When I first played this game I really tried to play and love Priest. It just wasn't happening, Priest was the original worst class the game had. Since then I have avoided Priest like the plague. Now though, I see no way that I do not have a full Priest array of cards this expansion. All of the Priest cards they have revealed so far seem to be quite unfair. I just see no way for Priest to not be a total powerhouse after this coming expansion.

This card is an even more dangerous Savannah Highmane. You cannot let it live because if you do it either clears your minions or does 6 damage per turn. At the same time, if you kill it it summons a 4/8 Taunt with lifesteal, deathrattle destroy an opponent's minion.
This is not a fine card, it is very unfair card. This card is going to see play, LOTS of play, it will be an auto include in every Priest deck that is not a trifle meme deck. And it may even spawn its own memes.
Your evaluation of this card is WAY off.

Hunter is dead, this game is dead, the world is coming to end, we are all going to die, someone kicked a puppy and ate a kitten....bla bla bla, you guys are just full of hyperbole, aren't you. Relax people. Hunter will have a day to shine again, it may not be in this expansion or even the next 5 expansions but Hunter will come alive again one day. After all, Priest is doing rather well right now, since the last expansion, which is the FIRST time it has ever done well in the entire time this game has been live. Even Priest is having their day in the sun. So one day Hunter will comeback. So chill out.

Yeah. I had someone whip out a Tomb Pillager on me and it completely threw me. After that match I had to go back and double check to make sure I wasn't just imagining not being able to find any cards outside of Standard while crafting my own deck.

AHahahahaha This card is going to be fun for some folks and very not fun for others.
