Can't wait to see them in action

I like them. Hopefully not too OP.

Those are great ideas. I can't wait to see them either.

this implies the whole gang is alive...

They were all alive at the end of Name of The Doctor... so I don't see why not

Besides, we already know Strax can brush off a mild case of death without too much hassle.
