As Slagmaw has taught us, stats don't really matter. The effect while dormant would have been okay earlier in the game, but at its current cost and without a reliable way to cheat it out, this card is useless :(
I'll pick up Suchti's comment and speculate this might see play in Wild where there are better targets. I really have to try and build a Big Mech Warrior deck.
Surely this location will see play in the new pirate rogue archetype that commandeers the new meta? 😏 Still too early to tell though but with 3 uses, this location isn't useless. Sure, it's not Crystal Core but any aggro deck would appreciate some buffs to their small dudes. I remain optimistic and do appreciate all the throwbacks
The wind-up mechanism looks cool from a flavor point of view, but I'm not sure if it holds up in the actual game. At the very least, this will be used for some very funny meme combos.
While I do have a deck that could use that kind of tutor, the card just has the wrong effect. Obviously Battlecry would have been amazing, but realistically speaking, I'd expect this to receive the Ra-den treatment: dead card for a long time, then gets a buff in the form of Taunt and sees occasional play in niche decks.
Not to sure what to make out of this either. There is not really much that minions with these effects have in common and the new cards from this expansion don't give me any clue either.
Complete trash card. Not only do you have to live with the randomness, the effect also just fizzles on your next turn. It might deliver the odd highroll or save you a game from time to time, but I'd never hard run this in any deck.
My favorite card of the whole set. This card is the nuts in aggro swarm decks or just as a strong turn 1 play. I'll give it a try in Wild Aggro Druid and Draggro Priest (you heard it from me first :P).
All the Origami cards are awesome and this is no exception. The Dragon tag also helps it finding a home. If it had Rush instead of Divine Shield it would be super busted, but it's a solid option as is.
Very hard to rate honestly. At the very least it provides a lot of corpses for DK and it's a premium target for buffs and Auras in Paladin. I wouldn't write this off too easily.
Funny meme card, but you probably won't see it in a competitive deck. Hunter can do cool stuff with Dire Frenzy and various other buffs and tutors for example. Cute art!
Moonlit Guidance, but with an arguably easier condition in the new spell damage focused deck they want to push. That card was played a ton so I have no doubt that it's going to be a stable in spell damage druid.
This would definitely help Deathrattle Deathknight become a thing, but I'm having doubts if we quite get there yet. Just a little more support and maybe my Signature Cage Head will find a home...
Another contestant for most adorable card of the set! (But I do think Giftwrapped Whelp is the winner due to biases 😅)
These infinite shuffle effects can be good but most games these days don't last that long anyway. If Floppy Hydra does work, I'd imagine it'd be in a hand/deck buff deck along with King Plush
New Demon Hunter Minion - Magtheridon, Unreleased

New Warlock Spell - Table Flip
Super amazing card that is the equivalent of Prismatic Beam for Warlock. This makes want to try Even Handlock in Wild again :)
New Shaman Minion - Shudderblock
That's one of these cards that have extremely high potential, but I'm actually struggling to find any battlecry you really want to trigger thrice.
New Warlock Spell - Wheel of DEATH!!!
Absolutely not my kind of card but I get that there are people who enjoy this kind of stuff. Just please don't turn up in my packs okay?
New Warrior Spell - Wreck'em and Deck'em
I'll pick up Suchti's comment and speculate this might see play in Wild where there are better targets. I really have to try and build a Big Mech Warrior deck.
New Druid Location - Magical Dollhouse
Very very strong card and a key element in Spell Druid if that deck comes together. One of the Standard decks I'm the most looking forward to :)
New Rogue Location - The Crystal Cove
Surely this location will see play in the new pirate rogue archetype that commandeers the new meta? 😏 Still too early to tell though but with 3 uses, this location isn't useless.

New Paladin Minion - Pipsi Painthoof
While I do have a deck that could use that kind of tutor, the card just has the wrong effect. Obviously Battlecry would have been amazing, but realistically speaking, I'd expect this to receive the Ra-den treatment: dead card for a long time, then gets a buff in the form of Taunt and sees occasional play in niche decks.
New Rogue Location - The Crystal Cove
Beautiful artwork but I don't see this being played much to be honest. Definitely not in Wild at least.
New Rogue Location - The Crystal Cove
Certainly neat for faster rogue decks to keep up the pressure.

New Neutral Minion - Giftwrapped Whelp

All the Origami cards are awesome and this is no exception. The Dragon tag also helps it finding a home. If it had Rush instead of Divine Shield it would be super busted, but it's a solid option as is.
New Neutral Minion - Bucket of Soldiers
Very hard to rate honestly. At the very least it provides a lot of corpses for DK and it's a premium target for buffs and Auras in Paladin. I wouldn't write this off too easily.
New Druid Minion - Wind-Up Sapling
This will surely lead into some crazy combos, but is once again extremely slow and slow decks probably have better ways to win anyways.
New Neutral Minion - Floppy Hydra
Funny meme card, but you probably won't see it in a competitive deck. Hunter can do cool stuff with Dire Frenzy and various other buffs and tutors for example. Cute art!
New Druid Location - Magical Dollhouse
Spell damage on demand without activation costs is extremely versaitile and will be play a key role in making the spell damage payoff cards viable.
New Druid Spell - Bottomless Toy Chest
I agree with Suchti, this will be a centerpiece in Spell Druid. Very versatile, not too expensive, strong card!
New Druid Spell - Bottomless Toy Chest
Moonlit Guidance, but with an arguably easier condition in the new spell damage focused deck they want to push. That card was played a ton so I have no doubt that it's going to be a stable in spell damage druid.
New Priest Spell - Purifying Power
I haven't figured out yet which deck would want to run this and I don't think I'll like the result when I finally do. Glorious flavor though!
New Death Knight Spell - Silk Stitching
This would definitely help Deathrattle Deathknight become a thing, but I'm having doubts if we quite get there yet. Just a little more support and maybe my Signature Cage Head will find a home...
