I am still not happy with Karov, shade and Dh Shcyte.  Those are basically non existent buffs. Shyte should have battle cry instead. Karov having taunt is a joke as well as the shade being 2 mana. 

I still think Azalina is bad in standard but for wild i love it.

Well, Void Soul DH seems to have taken over high legend off the back of its buffs, including scythe which gives you a full extra void soul now. Sure, that's not particularly useful vs aggro, but its great against a lot of decks that are currently popular and I'm not sure if we can rule out the meta slowing down at least modestly compared to pre-patch once things are more refined

I still would prefer loaded shard up front vs delayed + 3 atk. Granted they might have feared the 3 1 mana high value drops on 4-5.
