9 Mana 8/8 with pseudo-draw two/thoughtsteal? Sure why not!

Fire Elemental three and four in Shaman decks running a couple of dragons.

One of those cards that are amazing if everything plays out right and if not then you're stuck with a 5 mana deal 4 damage spell in your hand as some overpriced removal or burn.

Extremely disappointed this wasn't a warlock card. Could of probably seen some long-term constructed play if that were the case. As is it'll probably just see some play in Arena as a late pick for removal.

My favorite would have to be Mogor the Ogre just a fan of the general look and colours of it.

Why run this when you can run giants ? i just don't get it. It's easy to make giants cost less than 5 mana. I could understand if it was a common card, it would be a low cost giant for new players, but it's an epic. Why so many epics suck anyway ?

Because if you're planning on playing a giant on turn 5 it means you're likely sitting on your hands for the first four turns of the games and giving your opponent free reign of the board just so you can meet with the required conditions. With this people can just play on curve and still have an 8/8 on turn 5.

This card is amazing in Arena. Dropping it when your opponent has few cards, later in the game during top deck or fatigue wars, or just because its on curve and you have some semblance of board control. Most people at the moment just start playing terribly by throwing cards down just trying to mill you out instead of answering it until they realize they're about the die from it. 

Its probably not OP considering the situation where it just eats a removal the turn its played or gets stalled out.

While I don't think GvG power creeped much, this is probably the most pure example of Power Creep in the set: While the Deathrattle can be a downside, being a Deathrattle and Mech makes it superior to Yeti often and Druid will like having a Yeti with text, even if it is just small text...I wonder if they'll run a Yeti Brothers deck that tries to Innervate either of these out early by running both? It is also nicer than Yeti with Teacher/Gadgetzan.

In Arena, it is Yeti+ in the same common slot, so you probably pick it just like Yeti except slightly better, which means it is one of the best Arena picks there is. Chillwind Yeti will still be a good pick due to the stats, though, and probably won't drop much.

No sir. Dr. Boom is strictly better than War Golem. Frostbolt is strictly better than Darkbomb. These are examples of powercreep. This card is not always better than yeti.

Except Frostbolt is a mage card and Darkbomb is a warlock card. One class' cards can't be directly compared to another's due to how the class are balanced. Fireball for example is always better than Mortal Strike for most of the game at which point it becomes equal. Warlocks have always had to pay a premium on direct damage of any sort with high-costs, drawbacks, or targeting limitations. Darkbomb is as good as it is going to get for Warlock without having to suffer any of those effects. It sits between Soulfire and Shadow Bolt perfectly fine.

As for the this card not always being better than Yeti... this is true. With anti-deathrattle cards being a thing, the symmetrical effect, and the potential anti-mech cards in the future.

Hope they release images of all the tokens as well to go along with this.  I assume Gallyxwin's Coin acts like a Coin but doesn't count towards his ability?

Well this card is amazing. Pretty much has taunt and spell taunt stapled to it considering you can't lose the game while its out. I don't know how good it will actually be considering it costs 9 however. Sure it can be cheated out early but that just means it'll eat the first removal of the game. I guess you could win in the super late game with this assuming you last that long as warlock?

Well druid will probably win all fatigue wars with this.

Murlock is dead! Long live Murman! Interesting card. Will be fun to run in shaman murloc decks. 7/7 for 7 + overload 3 for +4 cards to your hand? And they're all murlocs? Sounds like a good way to give murlocs some late game steam.

Something to protect your wisps with! Can't imagine this ever seeing serious play but its nice to see more 0 cost cards added to the game.

Time to try a weenie aggro paladin deck! Even though he doesn't buff tokens being able to drop your hand for at the very least 3/3s and drawing it back with Divine Favor or Jeeves just seems too good to pass up. 

Cheaper than Shadow Bolt + can hit face and more reliable than Soulfire. Just be glad it isn't the 2 mana 4/1 it was shown to be in the trailer.

Yes its not better than frostbolt but it gives warlock some targeted damage without any drawbacks or limitations.

Perfect counter to Sylvanas as Paladin! Play this! Trade your big guy into Sylvanas and have them take the Fel Reaver then Peacekeeper or Humility it! Then laugh evilly as your mill your opponent by playing your hand!... Ok maybe only in Magical Christmas Land but it'd be interesting for sure if there were a way to give this to your opponent for mill deck setups
