The Witchwood Launch Survival Guide - Launch/Release Time, Tips, & Information
If you mean the Year of the Raven promotional event that gave you a pack for completing every quest, it finished yesterday, just like announced.

If you already have the regular copies, crafting golden ones will be a 0 net gain. You won’t lose anything, but it’s basically pointless.
The Witchwood Card Review Part 11 - Tess Greymane, Blink Fox, Archmage Arugal, Paragon of Light, and More!
Sorry, you’re right, I thought that it was released in Gadgetzan for some reason. Fixing it.
The Witchwood Card Review Part 11 - Tess Greymane, Blink Fox, Archmage Arugal, Paragon of Light, and More!
I’m 99% sure that Corpsetaker won’t get Taunt/Lifesteal from Paragon of Light – the card doesn’t have those keywords by itself, it gains them as a part of their effect.
Paragon of Light
Sorry, we’ll upload the official translation once we stumble upon one, but right now I’m fixing it until we get a better one.

Even Rogue doesn’t make much sense. Rogue’s Hero Power is the worst one for the discount – not only it works for 2 turns, but you often don’t have to repeat it, because you can save the dagger charge if you have nothing to hit.
On top of that, drawing Keleseth would be great, but not only he won’t be that efficient on Turn 2, but Keleseth decks are Tempo decks, and playing Tempo decks without 1-drops (and 3-drops too in case of Even deck) is a really bad idea.

To be fair, Kingsbane Rogue is probably dead in Standard, at least in the way we know it (the Mill variant). So it’s really hard to say at this point.

But they can’t design the whole expansion around that effect.
Not to mention that a card that doesn’t go into an Odd deck naturally goes into an Even deck. So this way both types get support.
In the end, the Odd/Even will probably turn out to be “fun” or “meme” decks, unless they would go all in on those mechanics, and that would feel really, and I mean really forced.

I’m 99% sure that it can only discover Mage Secrets. After all, Discover only pulls card from your class + Neutrals, and there are obviously no Neutral Secrets.
As for the second point, there are two options. You might simply not be able to Discover a Secret that’s already in play, or picking it will have no effect whatsoever.

In Rogue, though, Elven Minstrel just feels much better. Yes, it has 1 less health and it has to be combo’d, but drawing 2 instead of 1 is a pretty big difference.

Well it could definitely tutor SOMETHING if you have other minions in your deck.
The better question is – can it tutor something valuable in the mid/late game? 😀
Standard Decks To Try Out Before the Year of the Raven Standard Rotation
I’m not encouraging anyone to actually craft those decks – I mean that if you already have the cards, and you only play Standard, you should test those decks out before they rotate out. Because a week from now (yeah, it’s that close already) you will no longer be able to, at least not in the current form!

You’re right about Ashmore not drawing DK’s. You’re wrong about pulling Elementals after you play Jaina.
Jaina’s aura works on the minions on the board, not in your deck, so that Blazecaller or Baron Geddon in your deck still don’t have Lifesteal.
Countess Ashmore
That’s a really good question. I will say that it should. It checks for Lifesteal minions, see that you have Statue in your deck and target it for drawing, then it will again check for the Deathrattle minions, see that you have another Statue in your deck (Deathrattle) and also target it from drawing.
That would be the logical outcome.
That said, it won’t work unless both Statues are still in your deck, so it’s not very consistent, but might matter sometimes.
Countess Ashmore
No, it won’t draw DK Jaina.
Frost Lich Jaina does not have Lifesteal. It gives a Lifesteal aura. Those are two different concepts.
Splitting Festeroot
If you play a Deathrattle Priest, the chances are that your Quest is already done by Turn 8.
Countess Ashmore
No, Houndmaster Shaw gives other cards Rush, but it doesn’t have Rush. So it wouldn’t be drawn with it.
To be honest, I’m not sure. Depends on whether this effect is active when the card is still in your deck/hand or when it’s already on the board.
