Nice card with potential for massive healing. There might not be a lot of 2-health minions by turn 8, but if this hits 2 or 3, that's 8 or 12 health restored.
Waxmancy was a very similar card which saw little to no play. The differences between the cards are that Battlecries are faster than Deathrattles so point to Waxmancy but Reconnaissance has an overall better minion pool as it's restricted to class cards, which are better overall than neutral ones. There is some synergy with the Deathrattle minions, particularly from Forsaken Lieutenant, which can give those Deathrattle effects similar speed to Battlecry ones.
One of the "beast package" minions that will only see play if midrange beast druid is any good. Definitely likely to get this beast to zero mana in a dedicated deck but also might see play during evolve effects. You ideally want 4 beasts to have died already, so it costs 3 mana minimum. Any larger and you'd be better off playing something else.
The fact that this specifically discovers class deathrattle is a big deal - this can give you access to every Prime minion (other than Akama, of course) as well as some very high impact cards like Rattlegore and The Rat King and Coilfang Warlord (and maybe Aegwynn, the Guardian if you've got a decent number of damage spells in your deck). There are plenty of bad targets, of course (some generically weak ones, some that require too much synergy), but I think at least 50% of the class deathrattles you could find in Standard range from playable to strong even without additional synergy or support, so you should be able to pick up something good most of the time you play this.
I can understand why you think this way. It may be easy to see a card you haven't seen before and get excited for it to be a new card only to find out that it's fan-made and not official.
That said, I don't believe that posting FC content during reveal period is automatically a bad thing. In some cases it could even be a good thing. If I have a Fan Community Spotlight to post during reveal season, then I am going to post during the reveal season because there's often times a break in-between reveals and where people are dying to view new cards, a piece of FC content (be it FCS or CDC) can serve as a nice way to satiate people's hunger for new cards while they wait for the official new cards. Even if they aren't real cards, they are still "new" cards in some sense to help bridge the gap in-between reveals with large gaps.
Slow spell that is effectively a 3 mana 2/2 beast on the turn you play it. It'll probably be too slow against the current meta but we'll have to see if the meta slows down in general. Not sold on the midrange beast druid yet, but doubt this spell will be great.
Probably not good enough for constructed, even though you can easily imagine the kind of crazy swing turns you could have with this and Scabbs Cutterbutter.
We have to see if this midrange beast druid takes off next expansion. It's looking promising, and this beast will definitely be in the deck. This is one of those cards that are good in a package, but standalone, it's better in arena
So we've got Dun Baldar Bunker, which makes this minion much more consistent. If secret hunter does well next expansion, this minion will definitely be in the deck.
New Warlock Minion - Hollow Abomination
If honor kill get more than one proc, slowly this will became a soft taunt, well just if this is how the interaction works
New Warlock Spell - Tamsin's Phylactery
With Wicked Shipment and Envoy Rustwix will be a prime and wet dream for a beatiful value combo
New Warrior Hero - Rokara, the Valorous
I want to Rokara and Cariel get both weapons destroyed id they clash, just for philosophycal purposes
Felfire in the Hole! is a New Warlock Hearthstone Card Revealed by 驴鸽 for Fractured in Alterac Valley
it tutors a spell still... not always fel, but still a spell
New Warrior Minion - Captain Galvangar
Just nuts, even with the condition it's an amazing finisher, or in the worst case you can manage with some big minion of the oponent. 5 stars
New Druid Minion - Pathmaker
Why this card isn't a parrot? Looks like a Deadmines card.
New Paladin Minion - Brasswing
Nice card with potential for massive healing. There might not be a lot of 2-health minions by turn 8, but if this hits 2 or 3, that's 8 or 12 health restored.
New Warrior Spell - Snowed In
Very good tempo tool for gaining 1 turn of board interactions, maybe the freeze warrior will be the new freeze mage
New Warrior Spell - Frozen Buckler
Maybe they might reveal some card that use your armor in order to do something more, let's wait and see
New Mage Spell - Mass Polymorph
I was wondering why I'd want to transform all my stuff, but actually, I'm not sure Mage is going to running very many minions this expansion either.
New Warrior Minion - Scrapsmith
Very good battlecry, maybe they are going to push a very strong control warrior on this expansion
New Rogue Spell - Reconnaissance
Waxmancy was a very similar card which saw little to no play. The differences between the cards are that Battlecries are faster than Deathrattles so point to Waxmancy but Reconnaissance has an overall better minion pool as it's restricted to class cards, which are better overall than neutral ones.

I thought for a second that T5 would actually make an interesting card. I love this card’s design, especially with more secret synergies

Vanilla stats with a very good deathrattle, nice packfiller

New Druid Spell - Capture Coldtooth Mine
This is an insane tutor that would probably replace Taelan Fordring for druid. I'd imagine it belongs in a CA/clown druid where you'd either want to draw Lightning Bloom or Survival of the Fittest
