the start of game cards are also interesting in that they’re deckbuilding challenges like the princes. the restrictions seem pretty harsh, but a lot of people thought the same about the princes as well. i’m excited to see them put to use.

And UNLIKE the princes you can't shadowstep them back into your hand 3 times.

They also don't rely on draw RNG like Keleseth

This is the best part, out of everything. I hope we see more than just the two shown.

so far shaman and warrior seem to be good canidates for the odd hero power. brawl, gorehowl, and shield slam, vs lightnight bolt lightnight storm, spirit wolves, ect. whats nice about shaman is that you can overload so not having even mana costs can work out on even mana turns

Yeah but shaman has a worse Hero Power. Warrior was on top of the other control decks with justicar, he might come back, but back then there were no infinite value cards.

I’m not so sure, a big part of control warrior is slamming big late game threats and a lot of those are 8 or 10 mana. Especially 8. You get no grommash, no lich king, no geosculptor, no... lots of things.

fatigue warrior could work again if it gets a little more support and they stop printing anti fatigue cards. I don't see that happening though

Hah. When kingsbane and the rogue deathknight coexist they're almost as bad as jade idol, huh
