Academic Espionage
Designation: Constructed
Power: 4
Frequency: 3

This is a hard card to judge because of how varied the actual results are going to be. But I think replacing a card in your deck a lot of times when it only costs 1 is pretty good in a lot of cases. It lowers some consistency but I think it really pushes the reach and power rogue has. Still, this probably on sees play in some versions as a 1 of.

Astromancer
Designation: Constructed
Power: 2
Frequency: 1

So a 7 mana 5/5 is just bad but has better stats than spiteful summoner. But I don't think hand mage is going to be a real deck and lets say you want to use this in like BSM (for a while I ran a spiteful summoner bsm list quite similar to the deck recipe in high legend). Which was good when SS was 6 mana, but 7 is just too much for an effect I consider to be worse in the decks it would go in.

Augmented Elekk
Designation: Constructed
Power: 4
Frequency: 5

A staple in probably a lot of different rogue decks now. Dropping this into strider or like this into AE could make some powerful future game states. Let's not forget about PogoHopper. Might even see play in like DMH.

Beryllium Nullifier
Designation: Not Played
Power: 1
Frequency: 1

The stats for mana cost are just way too low even with the magnetic tag.

Crystalizer
Designation: Constructed
Power: 5
Frequency: 5

I think this is an incredible card. It's good for zoo and warrior in particular. Like in warrior you can use it for battle rage, to get shield slams off, and just for early board presence. In zoo it's a 1/3 that you can use on turn one to help active happy ghoul faster. Expect to see this card a lot.

Dreampetal Florist
Designation: Constructed
Power: 2
Frequency: 2

Okay so like the thing here is malygos druid really doesn't need to play this card to work. So it's really for togwaggle/azalina combo druid imo. Getting even one of those discounted means you can play both cards in the same turn and if you have innervate or biology project always be able to do the entire thing in one go. I think this will be tested in like a full combo set but people will start to cut this because it's a 7 mana 4/4. However, I do think this will pop up as one ofs from time to time.

EMP Operative
Designation: Tech
Power: ???
Frequency: ???

This is 100% a tech card. The stats are really bad. Like dragon slayer is at least serviceable. If the meta is like a ton of mechs I don't even know if this sees play. Worth noting, it says mech and not enemy mech. Also, is this the waifu card of the set?

Ectomancy
Designation: Constucted
Power: 4
Frequency: 2

This might sneak in as a one of in like cubelock along with blood bloom. Like after a skull summons doomguard on a turn you cube and pact it. And then you bloodbloom and play this to summon 2 more doomguards. Worth exploring, but I'm not sure if that will be like the prevalent line because it's like does cubelock really need to do that? And in other cases it's not as good. It also means you almost always have to run bloodbloom which is a questionable card imo.

Glowstone Technician
Designation: Constructed
Power: 2
Frequency: 2

So handbuff paladin never took off. It's hard to say if this is better in arena or constructed. When handbuff was in arena it was incredible there and I expect this to be good there too. I think with rush minons and such this might see fringe play.
