As an EU player I played the prologue on my NA f2p account while waiting EU release and got the free mage portal. With the limited cardpool I have I made a controllish mage deck including 2 copies. My first portal gave me a Starving Buzzard, worst outcome possible. As I was rank 20, my opponents were not tough and I won anyway but boy, the card really gave the worst 1st impression.
Same happened to this poor guy I played against. He was like really really excited from turn 1 on (he coined out a fireball to my face and then sheeped my Sorcerers Apprentice). Then, finally, turn 7 came around, he played instant Firelands Portal and got a Buzzard. After 5 seconds: You win this one. Poor guy.
Wow, all this hate from Guys who lost 10 Games in a row to Secret Paladin and now they rage about everything that has "Secret" in its card text.
But in all their rage, they forgot about the Standart Rotation. Lets think: What made Secret Paladin so strong? Answer: Their perfect curve and hardly removable board with 1 Secret or Secretkeeper, 2 Shielded Minibot, 3 Muster for Battle, 4 Piloted Shredder, 5 Loatheb, 6 Mysterious Challenger, 7 Dr. Boom, 8 Tirion Fordring. The Rotation takes away almost their complete curve in addition to Coghammer and Avenge, plus Mysterious Challenger just got a new counter with Eater of Secrets, PLUS this card needs a certain requirement to be fulfilled by his opponent, unlike Challenger who just draws secrets no matter what. Now you might think LOL what a retard defending Cancer Pally look he's a Pally idiot himself! I mostly play Control Paladin and I also think Secret Paladin is a bit too strong right now, but it won't be for long, so while this card might be too good at 3 Mana (maybe make it a 5 mana 4/5), it could help keep the Archetype of a Secret playing Paladin alive, because dont forget, no one played these useless Secrets before. And to the guys who say this should be neutral: I wanna se you playing vs a christmas tree Mage. Sounds like fun.
So to everyone here hating around. Just think before you dislike.
That's my entry, the Big Blast Bomb. It's a really weak body with a very high Mana cost, so in order to make it work you have to keep it on your board for a while and feed it with Spare Parts, but because it loses health everytime you do that, you have to protect it with Stealth at best. It's a strong, but not OP win condition (I'm looking at you Force of Nature+Savage Roar). It's kinda like Archmage Antonidas, a slow card that need some prerequisites to work. Maybe I would'nt play Big Blast Bomb in Mech Mage, but it can work really well in other Mech Decks without a good way to close out the game.
So I have almost all necessary Normal Legendaries plus Tirion from my favourite class Paladin and Confessor (got her from a Pack, she is really funny to play so i didn't dusted her).
My two favourite classes are the already mentioned Paladin (mostly Midrange and Control), and Mage (Mech, Tempo and Control). Now i'm not sure if I should craft:
Note: This minion doesn't just take 1 damage, everytime when it attacks another minion, it will get damaged from trading and then lose 1 Helath. This effect can also kill herself.
In exchange for the low stats (Fen Creeper has 3/6 with Taunt for 5 mana), he has a really strong ability. He can summon every Divine Shield minion, from Argent Squire to Tirion Fordring, only exception is Cobalt Guardian, because he hasn't a default Divine Shield.
The body of this card isn't overpowered at all, what makes it so strong is the +4 Spell Damage, which is almost at Malygos level. Therefore this card has two drawbacks:
1. You can't attack with any other minion, because Icebringers freeze is an aura, so it stays until she dies.
I'm no Freeze Mage pro but i think it can be used there to finish off your opponent faster, and the +4 Spell Damage is like a compensation for that you can't use Fireball, Flamestrike and Pyroblast.
Flavor Text: "Don't argue with him, he wins every discussion."
This card fits really well into Priest decks with Mass Dispel and especially Silence, so you can play Voice Stealer with it on turn 4 and get a 5/4. As well, Priests can help the Voice Stealer with the problem that he always has relatively low health.
Also, he can protect your minions from being silenced, because he represents a permanent thread if getting buffed, be he has really low base health, so the best case scenario is to play a Voice Stealer behind a silence-likely Taunt like Sludge Belcher, Sunwalker or even Tirion Fordring.
Thank you all for your replies, they really helped me :D
Although Malygos in Paladin sound really funny (7 dmg consec), I think I just go with Alexztrazsa, Chromaggus and probably Nefarian as high cost Dragons.
Like every other Pally player, i tried to make a Paladin Deck with Dragons, or Dragodin Deck. But then i discovered, that i havent got Ysera, because back then when she was popular, I crafted Cairne Bloodhoof (Ysera was so slow). The problem is now that i have Malygos. I dont like him very much outside of Rouge, but at least hes a Dragon. Now my Question is: Can i replace Ysera with Malygos, or should i just dont play him? (I already have Alexstrasza)

My two favourite classes are the already mentioned Paladin (mostly Midrange and Control), and Mage (Mech, Tempo and Control). Now i'm not sure if I should craft:
-Archmage Antonidas
-Eadric the Pure
-Harrison Jones
-Justicar Trueheart

Thanks for your help!

This is my entry:

Summon: Let me try something... (When created by another Ship's Mage: Haha, it worked!)
Attack: Hey! I'm not here to fight!
Death: One final test!...Wait, NO!
He's always happy if he can hire new test subj... ehm, sailors for the crew.

In exchange for the low stats (Fen Creeper has 3/6 with Taunt for 5 mana), he has a really strong ability. He can summon every Divine Shield minion, from Argent Squire to Tirion Fordring, only exception is Cobalt Guardian, because he hasn't a default Divine Shield.
All Divine Shield minions:
Argent Squire
Shielded Minibot
Annoy-o-Tron
Scarlet Crusader
Silvermoon Guardian
Argent Commander
Sunwalker
Force-Tank MAX
Tirion Fordring
and even Al'Akir the Windlord!

Flavor Text: You shouldn't ask her for ice cream.

1. You can't attack with any other minion, because Icebringers freeze is an aura, so it stays until she dies.
2. You can only use Frost Spells, which are: Frostbolt, Ice Lance, Cone of Cold, Blizzard, Ice Block, and Ice Barrier.
I'm no Freeze Mage pro but i think it can be used there to finish off your opponent faster, and the +4 Spell Damage is like a compensation for that you can't use Fireball, Flamestrike and Pyroblast.
