Kotori Lightblade
Except the only holy buff spell guaranteed to carry over next year is hold the bridge, and righteous defense which would debuff this. Core22 and Sunken City are going to need to have decent holy buffs to make this playable
Xhilag of the Abyss
Yup, so glad this summons four stalks because otherwise this would be awful. The only downside I see with this is it need to be played when you are ahead and have the board space because too much removal just murders this right now because the stalks are so fragile.
Curse of Agony
It is shadow, however throw in 2 augmented elekks and it goes to 666 damage. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
Drakefire Amulet
Lot’s of tiny dragons right now so that stupid objective/end of turn effect means you get the icky dragons, 17 dragons so far and 5 of them are statted as 5ish or less. Coldarra Drake is about middle of pack for stats/effect since most 4/12s are good for the battlecry that they get robbed of. 9/17 have five or less attack, although 2 can get/have taunt.
Snowfall Guardian
Wild shudderwock stall decks approve. Everyone else, not so much given that this is a 5 cost frost nova and summon a 4/4 minimum because why play it with nothing to freeze.
Scrapsmith
It’s the taunt/handbuff synergy that Runthak and Rokara decks run, not saying they are good, but I see them when people try to drag duels decks into other modes.
Beaststalker Tavish
That only works if you control what is summoned, it isn’t worded to discover an animal companion and then summon it. If it works like the spell it mimics then it is random and you may get a board full of Misha or Leokk.
Mass Polymorph
Yes but wave of apathy does not make 1 health minions which are easier to clear. This is a mass silence, wave of apathy, Lord Barov, and a rez pool disruptor for 7 mana, just no draw 1 card on the mass dispel. It isn’t amazing, but it is far more than a wave of apathy.
Forsaken Lieutenant
Turn 2 play this, 3 play Snowfall Graveyard, Turn 4 coin Acolyte and swing with the transformed one for 2 to 4 big dudes turn 4/5. It enables deathrattle rogue which is great but aoe susceptible 3.5/5 stars if rogue doesn’t get good deathrattles 4.5 if deathrattle rogue takes off.
Tamsin's Phylactery
How about Rustwix? Fill a board with 1/1s that fill your decks with primes. At least the spell is legendary and in warlock and not something like priest or shammy that can recycle/generate a scary number of spells.
Abominable Lieutenant
Vanndar Stormpike is required to make this playable. Even then it ends up in some big minion deck that is control oriented in an aggro meta.
Revive Pet
Don’t we still have rhinos in face hunter? I feel like 3 mana rhinos are not too bad.
Grey Sage Parrot
So long as the spell targets the same target as the spell it copies, or at least doesn’t pyroblast your own face.
Monstrous Parrot
That only works if 7 boars have already died and is therefore a redundant second sword but only if you got the first. The sword death rattle is tied to boars dying not the deathrattles triggering.
Voidtouched Attendant
Nope, they are making the most competitive miraclepriest more annoying. You are welcome.
Charged Call
Because quest is overload 8 times so that every spell you cast is cast twice which means that 3 mana summon 2 8-cost minions is one win condition post quest. However I am in the camp of Bolner Hammerbeak into Y’Shaarj for a handful of corrupted dunk tanks and corrupted medics which are self refreshing.
Spirit Alpha
This has to go down first, then feral spirits but that is only 3 2/3 taunts for 7 mana. You would need to throw in a lightning bolt to face or something.
Not meta defining but it makes for several OTK options, play this minion, ancient reflections it and play 4 mana worth of spells. Damage will range from 32 to 38 easily
