Follow up to my previous post on part 1. Sorry for the delay, had been really busy for the past few days. This thread will touch on the remaining card reveals from April for the Old Gods expansion. I am aware that Blizzard has since revealed all the remaining cards in the expansion, but since they were not revealed individually, it would be too difficult to obtain reactions on them.

Before I begin, one final shoutout to /u/Niklink for providing this post that contains all of the card reveals from all of the expansions released so far.
April 1st: Vilefin Inquisitor
- "Looks like a Warlock card, should have been a Shaman card, is a Paladin card." - /u/vinniedamac
- " think blizz is doing this on purpose now just to rustle thralls jimmies" - /u/mushi_2001
April 1st: Thing from Below
- "The april fools joke is shamans getting good cards" - /u/phaazoid
- "You mean I can pay mana now to get a discount on my future turns? This will greatly conflict with the thrill I get playing Shaman of simulating going into massive credit card debt by always making the minimum payment upfront and paying dearly on the backend." - /u/soursurfer
April 1st: Master of Evolution
- "Can't wait to transform my Evil Heckler into a Booty Bay Bodyguard." - /u/liveforlaughs76
- "This card is bananas in the Arena, and Shaman needed it. It's a rare, so it won't be in every Shaman deck, but it will be a near-auto-pick, and it will affect the Arena meta for sure." - /u/TheReaver88
April 4th: Ravaging Ghoul
- "As a smaller Dread Infernal it's gonna be preeeeeeety strong in arena also. Great to have another tool to deal with pesky paladins in arena." - /u/opobdtfs
- "Alongside tentacle of N'Zoth, warrior board clears and enrage triggers are getting much more powerful. I like it." - /u/starkbeast
April 4th: Mire Keeper
- "I think this card can see a lot of play, and is likely to take over Darnassus Aspirant in Druid decks, due to its versatility in the later game and its ability to Ramp you up more consistently since it doesn't need to stay alive. I think the two options are very good and it doesn't come with a terrible statline. Suffice to say... sunglasses he's a keeper." - /u/Highfire
- "What's with all the 2/2 oozes being summoned in this expansion?" - /u/Silverspud
April 4th: Hammer of Twilight
- "Deathrattle: This does NOT belong in a museum" - /u/masteryder
- "Finally Shaman gets revenge on Harrison for all the Doomhammers he's stolen." - /u/InvisibleEar
April 5th: Blood of the Ancient One
- "Only need four hits of the Ancient One to kill a control warrior." - /u/Eviian
- "I can already hear the sax" - /u/SupMaelstrom
April 5th: Blood Warriors
- "Warrior: Look at me. I am the mage now." - /u/Supaninja007
- "If you thought dealing with two waves of Patrons was hard, wait till you have to handle eight!" - /u/All_Sham_No_WOW
April 6th: Call of the Wild
- "Huffer, Buffer, and Tuffer." - /u/LordAutumnBottom
- "Summon a 2/4, 5/4 taunt and 5/2 charger for 8 mana, preeeetty good!" - /u/Uptopdownlowguy
April 7th: Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
- "The card we always have predicted: 10 mana: Destroy a random hero" - /u/maneHS
- "10 mana: End the game (wherever it is)" - /u/maskdmirag
April 7th: Spreading Madness
- "It'll be fun with that demon that gets 2/ 2 whenever your hero takes damage on your turn." - /u/IceBlue
- "Seems like a card that will always backfire for me, but perfectly clear my board every time my opponent uses it." - /u/dusthydra
April 7th: Cho'Gall
- "I welcome the cho'gall coin concede meta" - /u/murlocdouche
- "And now we wait for the Trolden video showing some poor Warlock playing this card and some forbidden spell he got off stuff like Nefarian. The new Auchenai Mistress of Pain." - /u/Airkan1
April 8th: Possessed Villager
- "Guess ZOO decks may be happy with it. Trade it with abusive/PO and still have a token. Can't find many more usages of it, but then again I am not a master at theorycrafting :^ )." - /u/Anubis37
- "That's just good. Looks like a better Argent Squire" - /u/Popsychblog
April 8th: Wisps of the Old Gods
- "Strong card for concede decks." - /u/Tragedy22
- "Dark Wispers saw zero play, so what made Blizzard think that this card would be good to print, other than the pun?" - /u/Calrax
April 8th: Soggoth the Slitherer
- "The ultimate Black Knight target." - /u/CanadianDave
- "I feel like this card has no reason to be 9 mana. To compare, Ragnaros has 16 stats and impacts the board immediately for 8 mana. I know it has taunt so the cost gets a little inflated, but it's a legendary, this could have costed 7/8 mana since it only has 14 stats." - /u/UltimaShadow
April 11th: Thistle Tea
- "This would be cool if there was deck manipulation card in rogue. You really need to know what you're going to draw." - /u/RotherID
- "I guess you could say Rogue is the master of subtle-tea." - /u/Praedyy
April 11th: Twilight Summoner
- "RAPTOR ROGUE BOYS" - /u/Rockstar_Zombie
- "Looks like board protection against AoE., substitution for Nerubian egg. Expensive though. Might see play in arena, probably not much in standard." - /u/Vacancies
April 12th: Embrace the Shadow
- "Lightbomb died for this." - /u/Seeker8833
- "Great for people who are always crying "Where the **** is my Auchenai???" Spoiler: I am one of those people." - /u/cutmanmike
April 12th: Deathwing, Dragonlord
- "This will be in the greediest of decks" - /u/kpony
- "Deathrattle: Buy BRM" - /u/Atindelta
April 13: Faceless Summoner
- "Looks like mage will be top tier arena for another season" - /u/Likes2PaintShit
- "So mage gets basically a Highmane in the common slot? Great..." - /u/flaggschiffen
April 13th: Servant of Yogg-Saron
- "I am gonna go to church every morning and after that gonna play Casino Mage all day. I am ready for that." - /u/Anderkochak
- "I really hope this is unplayable bad on ladder, because it is going to give infuriating losses and unsatisfying wins." - /u/Ikcelaks
April 14th: Shadowcaster
- "God have mercy on your soul if you let Rogue's Emperor live for a turn. Or Malygos. Or Auctioneer." - /u/MaverickHS
- "Brann this card OMG" - /u/leasedeb
April 14th: Forlorn Stalker
- "Wow imagine if Haunted Creeper and Shredder were still in standard..." - /u/SoftCatBelly
- "Well, 3 Mana 4/2s with a gun have been historically pretty valuable" - /u/TCO_Uncontested
April 15th: Demented Frostcaller
- "Wanker Mage new meta" - /u/Artomat
- "Don't think this would see play even at 3 mana. 4 is horribly overcosted." - /u/MinibeastHS
April 15th: Shifting Shade
- "Based on past experiences with priest, this is essentially add a Legendary minion from your opponent's deck to your hand" - /u/I_KeepsItReal
- "You wouldn't download a card" - /u/BeardedSpy
April 16th: Twilight Flamecaller
- "If legit I like it, a 1 mana arcane explosion, good for halting aggro." - /u/Nekovivie
- "Between this and the new Warrior Ghoul that whirlwinds I wonder how much worse 1 health minions will become in arena." - /u/gaRG56daYT65UT
April 17th: Princess Huhuran
- "I always wanted a 3rd Savannah Highmane!" - /u/changmas
- "Basically feign death on a single minion a good body. Probably the best legendary hunter has got. Also...this is the card the brann rivendare deck needed :D" - /u/Munrot07
April 17th: Dark Arakkoa
- "If druids are ever going to become a high tier c'thun deck, it's going to be because of this card" - /u/homer12346
- "Ironic that Druid seems to be shaping up as the primary C'thun class, when it was the Cenarion Circle that led the war against him" - /u/CeraphHS
April 18th: Shifter Zerus
- "It could be anything! Even a Shifter Zerus!" - /u/PvtCaboose434
- "Will eventually die to BGH, Black Knight, hoot hoot, Rend Blackhand, mage ping, Light's Champion, Shadow Word Horror, and Nerubar Weblord, while trading unfavorably with Piloted Shredder. But at least it activates your Kill command, chillmaw, Coldlight Seer and your Goblin Blastmage. And your Floating Watcher. All things considered, still not better than Dr. Boom, except when it is Dr Boom, and thus unplayable." - /u/invalidlitter
Phew! Finally it is done. Let me know what you all think! Would you possibly like to see something similar in the future? Thanks
