This is really strong! 2 mana give a minion a buff and Divine Shield. This also leaves a 1/1 Divine Shield on the board that has to be dealt with. Also give two more Divine Shields to break for Fordragon and the new crafting weapon.
In Questline Shaman, this will often be a 3 costs random 8 drop and that could be what wins. This doesn't do much in the early game, so the play it sees will probably be minimal.
I always underestimate the impact of +1/+1 to a large group. Does this come out on curve for only 3-4 minions at best or do you hold it for later turns in hopes of increasing your hand size to get more buffs?
Nice multi-purpose card, similar to War Cache? I presume most of the time you go with the divine shield minion. I think there will be a limited enough pool that you can count on some of the good ones.
I want to have high hopes for this... with Flamestrike now able to take out the majority of minions on the board these days, and the number of other minions control that is available through Fire Spells, I'm 90% sure that this card will be making the cut on most decks

Not terrible, but very plain. It works for the Questline, but compare it to Sword Eater. For 1 mana more, you get a better minion with Taunt, and a 3/2 weapon.
This is really bad. I see a lot of comparisons to Possessed Lackey, but that was good because you could target a Doomguard or a Voidlord and could have other minions to get to that point. This is any minion and could get something bad.
New Priest Spell - Shard of the Naaru
This will be auto includes for the non-shadow priest variants, especially if hand buff Paladin and deathrattle Demon Hunter take off.
New Priest Minion - Twilight Deceptor
Nice tutored draw. This will just help shadow priest to be able to accelerate their game plan.
New Paladin Spell - Noble Mount
This is really strong! 2 mana give a minion a buff and Divine Shield. This also leaves a 1/1 Divine Shield on the board that has to be dealt with. Also give two more Divine Shields to break for Fordragon and the new crafting weapon.
New Priest Minion - Voidtouched Attendant
I like the support for an aggressive priest deck. I'm guessing this isn't the best turn one play. It will absolutely be bonkers in wild Raza Priest.
New Paladin Minion - Catacomb Guard
Handbuff support. With Fordragon, this deals 6 to a minion and heals you for 6. Not sold on handbuff, but I like where they're going with it.
New Paladin Spell - City Tax
Nice control card vs aggro decks. How often do you hold it in the mirror match to ping off divine shields?
New Shaman Spell - Charged Call
In Questline Shaman, this will often be a 3 costs random 8 drop and that could be what wins. This doesn't do much in the early game, so the play it sees will probably be minimal.

New Paladin Spell - Blessed Goods

New Shaman Weapon - Auctionhouse Gavel
A lot of mana discounts this expansion. This is cheap and is basically free if you manage to hit a Battlecry minions with this twice.
New Paladin Spell - Noble Mount
Multiple levels of divine shield frustration, but not terrible to work around. Secondary buffs are obviously the big problem on this.
New Mage Minion - Clumsy Courier
GREAT way to cheat out expensive spells. Wild here we come

New Shaman Minion - Spirit Alpha
Questline support. This probably never comes down as a Tempo play, but dropped with an Overload card to hide it behind the Taunt.
New Mage Minion - Grand Magus Antonidas
I want to have high hopes for this... with Flamestrike now able to take out the majority of minions on the board these days, and the number of other minions control that is available through Fire Spells, I'm 90% sure that this card will be making the cut on most decks
New Shaman Minion - Canal Slogger
Very strong and help with Questline. Big healing for 4 mana AND usually removes an enemy minion at the same time.

New Shaman Spell - Investment Opportunity
I don't like this. 1 mana feels too much of a Tempo loss for a single card Tutor, and 0 mana would be busted.
New Warrior Minion - Harbor Scamp
Makes Questline Warrior more consistent. Cheap, Pirate, and draws another Pirate from the deck. Great!
New Warrior Minion - Stormwind Freebooter
Not terrible, but very plain. It works for the Questline, but compare it to Sword Eater. For 1 mana more, you get a better minion with Taunt, and a 3/2 weapon.
New Warrior Minion - Cargo Guard
This is incredibly strong! 3 EHP guaranteed at the end of your turn is amazing, not to mention it's a Pirate and works for the Questline.
New Warrior Minion - Cowardly Grunt
This is really bad. I see a lot of comparisons to Possessed Lackey, but that was good because you could target a Doomguard or a Voidlord and could have other minions to get to that point. This is any minion and could get something bad.
Really Annoyed By Reveals
You realize there was a lawsuit going on right?
That sorta thing kinda takes precedence over card reveals.
New Neutral Minion - Package Runner
Supposed to be support for Handlock, but that's a pretty big restriction and almost HAS to be played in the early game.
New Neutral Minion - Northshire Farmer
Elwynn Boar support. Possibly some shenanigans in Hunter, but Elwynn Boar is why this was made.
