It looks like in the comments above there are only huntards. Did everyone forgot about zoolock ? Core Rager is great card for him.

Imp Gang Boss text should be read as "Deathrattle: Summon 1-4 1/1 Imps".

Erm did you miss the part where core rager is a hunter card?

And even in Zoo lock it'd probably be a eeeeeeeeeeeeeh card

Core Rager has a green background, which points to it being a hunter class card...
Flame Waker Mage
Imp Don Mafioso Warlock...

core rager is insane. Empty hand as a Hunter? EZ-PZ. Doesn't even have to be a turn 4 drop to get great value.

Its not that insane... If you want to top deck a strong minion you should go for Deathwing , Ragnaros and so on... I mean if you top deck it - and your hand is empty it will happen around turn 8+ so it doesnt matter if it costs 4-5-6 or 8 mana.
The only better thing is that it can be played on turn 4 as a 4/4 and i'd like to have a lot other 4 drop minions that this one.

Rly? Things point it will me 1st march.

I think you meant April but to respond to the both of you, no one has ever said that it will be the beginning of April. All announcements have been extremely careful to say that the new Adventure would be released IN April.

My thought is that they have a release date in mind, but don't want to be bound to it if they overshoot by a day or two.

Imp Gang Boss has got to be the most silly name I've ever heard on a card, since Seize the Initiative from MtG.
It's really not that great, Warlock has a bunch of deal damage, Infernal/Hellfire and stuff that can get big from Mad Bomber and the likes, in the Demon Watcher thingy and you can even put in a Gurubashi Berserker.
But this card is terrible with Mad Bomber.

Imp gang boss is some insane value. Basically at least a 3/5 for 3? Yeah, he's good. The beast is decent, possibly playable (yes yeti's better, but it ain't a beast), and the mage card is basically spellpower +2 for aggro which is probably playable.

Flame Waker interesting, but we'll see.

Core Rager no good. FYI, to play it turn 4, you need to play nothing but 1 drops on turns 1, 2, and 3, and then to topdeck this thing on turn 4. Shredder is nearly as good as this thing is at its best with no strings attached.

Imp Gang Boss looks like the 3 drop Zoo has always wanted. Really strong card.

I don't have a competitive Mage Deck but my Mage for dailies will find room for Flame Waker absolutely. Arcane Missiles love.

Flamewaker I can see having some good combos with spare parts, got a hand full of those and start chucking out +1 hp and attack, bit of stealth you could do a bit of damage, other than that I see no use for it unless you like to run loads of cheap spells. The imp master could be decent in deck with some targetable healing so you can keep chucking out the 1/1s and the Core Rager, maybe not as a 4 drop but as a late game top deck monster could be good, unless a new type of hunter comes around where you just dump your hand as quick as possible.

It's hard to say how Core Rager will be good, I'd like it to be, but playing on the premise of emptying your hand is risky to say the least. In the late game at least, Hunter can usually play a few cards out of hand at that point, so topping it off with a 4-drop shouldn't be too hard, but before that will be tricky. Jeeves might be an important card for that, and Tracking won't be so bad either. Definitely looks good for Arena though, at least.

edit: FINALLY, GvG cards get autolinks now, good stuff

Everyone is talking about whether the new cards will be good or not, but let me chime in with saying how unimaginative and boring most of them are, both artwork and effect wise (except the big dragon and lava shock). GvG was funny, Naxx was cool, and now we already have a bunch of random dwarves. With the Naxx cards I wanted to try all of them, because they just looked so freakin' cool, even if it was obvious that some of them are fun cards at best.

I'll probably still pre-order it, because I'm putting all my gold into packs, but man.... my fingers are so crossed for the pally cards!

Flamewaker is really cool card, you can play it aggressively as +2 spelldamage on finishers if the board is empty, but my favorite option is as a form of mid game AoE in a control type mage.

Yeah, this is the way I'll probably be trying it once I have the card.

My thought is to build a deck with Mana Wyrms, Sorceror's Apprentices, Flamewakers, Mirror Images and the normal suite of Mage Spells. I'd use that to open and hold the board until I can enter the midgame safely.
