Ironforge Berserker• Since Enrage has been changed to "while damaged", I realized that only a few cards were using the Enrage mechanic.
• Warrior is the class that benefits the most from this effect, since it can grant buffs to damaged minions and draw cards based on damaged friendly characters. • Ironforge Berserker fulfills the requirements of warrior's Quest, since it has Taunt when played, while damaged, it's compensated with +2 attack, for losing Taunt. • It is a pretty solid body for 3 mana and also a little flexible, which make it a strong card for constructed and arena.

Dragon's Orb• Cards with Echo return to your hand as ghostly copies when played and can be played again during the same turn.
• Sorcerer's Apprentice is a good option to maximize value, since it lowers Dragon's Orb cost and you can get an extra use of it. • Making it Discover a Dragon that costs 5 or more, maximizes the chance of getting a great Dragon out of it. You are usually looking for Ysera, Malygos or a Deathrattle Dragon, like Bone Drake. • It does not seem to perform well in arena, since you are mostly looking for guaranteed value, but it's good for constructed combo decks.

Master of Ceremonies• Echo allows the player to get multiple spells from your opponent's deck.
• It is a great choice to run on steal priest, since that's the only priest minion that steals cards. • It works like rogue's Blink Fox, but exclusive to spells. • Pretty ok stats for a 4 drop, which means that it would be an average arena card, but since it also adds a spell that your opponent is running to your hand, may be slightly above average.

Shapeshift Malfunction• It would make more sense to give a minion +3 attack and Rush; or +3 Health and Taunt, right? That's the idea, it seems like something has gone wrong during shapeshift.
• Buffing small minions like Angry Chicken, Dire Mole and Swamp Dragon Egg on turn 2 can be really strong. • Has its potential increased when used with Fandral, you will be getting +3/+3 for 2 mana, besides Taunt and Rush. • It is also useful late game, since you can give a minion Taunt to protect your board or Rush to immediatly trade.

All Aboard• All Aboard is a shaman spell that encourages Murloc shaman archetype, also known as Quest shaman.
• As Murlocs synergize with each other, giving them Echo is a great way to push for board while having the option to retain cards in hand. • While being a strong spell, the drawback of Overload: (2) makes you pretty much waste the next turn, which is really bad for tempo. • You are able to catch up on tempo later on, because your Murlocs have Echo.

Nerubian Cannon• This hunter weapon allows you to fully fight for the board, since it does 4 damage and summon two minions with Rush or deal face damage, while still enabling a minor fight for the board.
• It follows the same status distribution as the Truesilver Champion, which used to be "Dr. 4" for paladins, a really strong weapon for 4 mana. • Spiders are summoned by Nerubian Cannon's attack and get in play with Rush which means it can attack enemy minions on the same turn they are summoned.

Stealth Detector• Blood Knight's forty-second cousin. It works similiar to Blood Knight, but with Stealth instead of Divine Shield.
• Works well on arena against classic cards like Worgen Infiltrator, Jungle Panther and Stranglethorn Tiger. • It gets pretty strong by removing only one Stealth, 4/4 for 2 mana is a Millhouse without the drawback. • Can get even stronger against Stealth rogues on wild format.
