It remains to be seen. Pirate Warrior I'm not really worried about (they start popping off around turn 5, which we will as well) but Taunt druid might be a problem. I was debating about putting in some weapons to help our early game, but they clash a lot with Lightforged Cariel. Any suggestions?
If you want to save money when buying Hearthstone packs, you should check out Amazon Coins! It's an easy way to save up to 25% off Hearthstone packs so you can get into the new expansion without worrying about your wallet too much. We've got a detailed guide on how to Get Started with Amazon Coins, but if you've already dealt with them in the past, you can buy some more by clicking right here.
Arena: Pretty bad honestly. Just a 2 mana deal 2 most of the time. Not only do you need spells in your hand for the effect to matter, but you also need to deal exact amount of damage. And on top of that, the discount isn't guaranteed to be beneficial. Situational is the word that comes to mind.
Constructed: I wonder if decks that include cards like this will include specific minions to target with cards such as Siphon Mana just in case your opponent doesn't provide you with a good target. As with all mana cheat cards, I'm sure this will see play somewhere, but I don't expect it to be the new Incanter's Flow. Not even close.
So much for alternating between Horde and Alliance. I guess that wouldn't allow them to tell the story the way they wanted to tell it. Though I am wondering if that unlikely ally is a certain Blood Elf. I'm still barely anywhere through Cariel's book, so no spoilers.
Being able to thin your deck for three turns is really strong.. Probably isn't good enough for constructed play, but this could finally make for a new Duels archetype for Hunter.
So basically you need weapon destruction or The Immovable Object gets out of hand...well defensively. Cariel's HP is not bad either, but the weapon is what makes the hero card insane. Also bare in mind, Suckerhook could transform your 6 mana weapon into The Immovable Object as Shaman, so nice buff to that card
The Immovable Object is not itself a collectible card, so Suckerhook wouldn't be able to transform weapons into it.
That aside, I'm not really sure why the weapon has a full 5 durability if it never loses it itself and it makes no difference to full weapon removal. The protection against the full compliment of 2xBloodsail Corsair and 2xToxic Sewer Ooze seems a bit paranoid, so all it really does is give Harrison Jones a bigger payday :P
This is just ridiculous. 3 turns of dropping Silver Hand Recruits with several cards and they ALL get +2/+2? Not to mention how many low cost minions you play (Murloc Paladin coming back in Wild?)

It'll definitely work if you play Hemet first... and also have no 4-drop minions left in your deck. Vanndar has to cost LESS than every remaining minion.
Based on the wording, if you reduce the cost of Vanndar, that should also be taken into account.

New Paladin Minion - Templar Captain
Incredibly big body and makes the 8 drop pool better. Not sure if this will ever get to see play unless there's a meta change though.
New Paladin Spell - Dun Baldar Bridge
This card looks insane. Even if played on curve ("do nothing" turn 4), you then get 2 turns of summoning buffs. HUGE.

1 for 1/3 headhunter of weenies, not bad

Great card for the current meta. I'm looking forward to decks will need to make sure that they don't have any 3 health minions on the board on T5

New Neutral Minion - Drek'Thar
I like the mini support, and with the standard meta, this will be an autoinclude in every deck that is going aggro
