This card is just one new card away from being utterly broken. If anything is printed that gives perpetual boosts to creatures, this card has to be considered.
Obviously, it's not that powerful with Stormwind Champion and Dire Wolf Alpha, but Warsong (fortunately not available to Warlock) breaks it. Should any new neutral or warlock card allow you to give minions taunt or charge, this will be a combo piece.
Sadly, it's underwhelming with existing warlock stock - its a shoddy shadowflame target because of it's 1 power, it's a mediocre power overwhelming target as we have better cards already (nerubian egg, imp/spider tokens) and a mediocre void terror enabler as it's so small.
This is competing for weapon slots with muster, coghammer and truesilver, all of which are stronger cards.
Where pala needs help is removing 3 health minions early - mechwarper, snow chugger and even voidwalker can really set pala way behind. There is a niche to fill at 2 mana, but I don't think this fills it.
It is sadly sub-par against either one very large man (i.e. against a pure control deck), or against multiple small men (i.e. a pure face deck). However, against midrange decks trying to establish a board with multiple medium sized creatures (or a handlock), this absolutely destroys them in much the same way that equality does. Unlike equality, it leaves your board unscathed and doesn't need a second card to finish the job. 3/7 is an absolute beast after that battlecry has resolved.
If the new meta has a lot of midrange, this card will be an essential craft.
Awesome card - may be the best so far. In control v control, you can play this out on curve as removal bait without worrying about the battlecry hitting. Against a face deck, this is probably a 90% chance of triggering.
This is an improved healbot that isn't diluting your deck. A shame that it competes for the same slot, rather than allowing you to curve out massive lifegain
If you have a deck that can essentially ignore the drawback due to being inspired focused, 2/4 is a beast of a 2 drop. This could be part of the glue that holds an inspire deck together but it needs a lot more than what's been spoiled so far
Don't do anything (either dust cards or spend gold on classic/GVG packs) until at least a week after TGT is out and the meta has stabilized, or at least the trap legendaries have been sniffed out. It's easy enough to get quests done at low rank even with just basic cards, so just tough it out and save up.
In all likelihood, you're going to want to craft boom at that point, but there may be an even better legendary in TGT that simply has to go in everything.
Best card spoiled yet. 6 mana for a 5/4 and a darkbomb is solid, 4 mana for a must-kill 5/4 is really nice, particularly as druid can cheat it out early. Imagine this will cause some very one-sided games when it sticks t3/4. Utterly broken if you get 2 inspire triggers from it or are also getting inspire triggers elsewhere.
Blizz have always said that they want players incentivized to open packs straight away. They've ruled out "mixed" packs for that reason, as there's an incentive to hoard those until a new expansion, to give those packs a chance of opening new cards. Pack vouchers would work similarly - it would be correct for experienced players to hoard them until they could exchange them for brand new expansion packs.
Personally, I like that the latest expansion is given, but could come round to the idea of a random pack reward being given.
We're probably going to see a low card with "Battlecry: Your next hero power activation costs 0", allowing you to play this card on curve the following turn
Fair point - what Samsung lost in the "value" of the promo to potential Galaxy owners, they've gained back a zillion-fold by the exposure on Hearthpwn and similar sites. So, even though sharing this trick might appear anti-corporate, it's actually benefiting them. Kinda sucks for actual Galaxy owners though
I'm surprised hearthpwn put the instructions for this on the front page rather than closing down this thread. This is anti-corporate and if the entire community exploits this it spoils the value of Samsung's promo.
As a user, obviously free stuff is great, huge kudos to whoever figured out this idiot proof method and shared it.
I tried, really tried, with tempo mage, thinking being cute with apprentice, flamewaker and violet teacher would own this format. Got absolutely pulverized by standard zoolock lists

Bad card. A sticky 6 mana card without taunt is only relevant control mirrors, which is precisely when the deathrattle will not work.
Against aggro you can have as many 6 mana 7/4s you like in hand and they will not help you win.

Really unconvinced on Blizz's strategy of only spoiling bad cards. Hope I'm not going to regret that preorder!

I was able to get 700 of 3500 amazon coins back from the TGT pre-order, plus got the standard 10% amazon coins discount
This should be publicized better, as those combine to a 28% discount when buying via amazon coins vs buying direct from Blizz
Edit: FYI I am based in the UK

Otherwise, its a bad 8 mana card
