Trump kindly let us know in advance that he’d be revealing an exclusive new card, and it combines two mechanics that have never been combined before.

So what did Trump get to reveal? Well, you can check it out below.
Keep yourself updated with all the latest Grand Tournament coverage, and check ALL the currently revealed TGT cards in our full spoiler list.
BLOOD KNIGHT INBOUND.
In terms of providing something early for Blood Knight to feed on is interesting, but that feels like a reason to NOT pick this card. To an extent, like Coliseum Manager, this is a trap card. You’ll get better value from turn 1 Worgen Infiltrator.
This card tries too much but doesn’t have the budget for it. There are better three mana options.
The vanilla test is the Jungle Panther (4/2 + Stealth).
For slow tempo Shade of Naxxramas (2/2 + 1/1 each turn) wins hands down.
Scarlet Crusader (3/1 + Divine Shield) is almost guaranteed to trade for neutral or better.
Paladins get the almost identical mech Shielded-Minibot (2/2 + shield but no stealth) for just 2 mana.
I like the idea of stealth + divine shield since it lets you choose how to get maximum value from the bubble but in practice the two attack is only strong enough to trade cheap aggro-deck minions but the cost and stealth makes it too slow.
