Sword of the Fallen is reallyyyyy good. Might see play in Wild as well, though Secret Paladin has never been a powerhouse in that format. This i an important card for Secret Paladin decks in standard though, if they ever become a thing.
The heir to Twin Slice, even though it's an inferior version. Soul Fragments are still in the game, and I expect that archetype to make a comeback in the coming expansion. This will definitely see play in a number of DH decks, hard not to see otherwise.
I really was expecting more deathrattles than the handful we received. This one is nonetheless possibly the best of the lot, but it still doesn't feel as powerful as my expectations. Warrior could most def make use of that one.
Looks strong on paper, but it feels pretty slow for a Hunter card. The fact that you can't draw the discovered beast is a downside, but it could still see play in a beast-oriented deck.
Another good board control tool for Priest during the early game. It strikes me as a replacement for Penance, with the potential to clear more than one target.
I'm not sure how these "caravan" cards will play out, given how prevalent rush is as a keyword nowadays. They probably won't stick around often for their effects to trigger.
Prospector's Caravan seems strong, but its effect triggers at the start of the turn and that might not be reliable enough. It's an instant removal target.
3 mana deal 4 damage is quite common. Those spells have seen play in the past. This one has an upside in the form of lifesteal. I'm not sold on it, but it might see play.
New Rogue Minion - Efficient Octo-bot
Keep on discounting cards)

New Demon Hunter Spell - Vile Call
Still may see play .. if randomly generated ^^

Way to completely ignore what I said.
New Neutral Minion - Burning Blade Acolyte

New Warlock Minion - Kabal Outfitter
A great card for Zoo decks as long as they have a board to receive those buffs.
New Rogue Spell - Wicked Stab (Rank 1)
I came here to essentially say that to
New Demon Hunter Spell - Fury (Rank 1)
But can combine with the old tools and make for a nice finishe
New Priest Spell - Power Word: Fortitude
Bad card. Even if you can get this fairly cheap, you have yourself a +3/+5 buff. Well, congrats I guess.

New Hunter Minion - Warsong Wrangler
Really good with all the keep coming raptors
New Rogue Minion - Efficient Octo-bot
Really good effect, but seems out of place in the barrens....
New Paladin Weapon - Sword of the Fallen
This card is as strong as the deck itself. Thrash if the deck is thrash, amazing if the deck appears to be amazing.
New Warlock Minion - Kabal Outfitter
Very good for tokens decks, but it can be useful on control ones too
New Warrior Spell - Rancor
Yes for warrior's board control tool!
New Rogue Spell - Silverleaf Poison
So Kingsbane is getting a lot of support, maybe too much. Draw, invulnerability, more damage. To good to be true
New Warlock Minion - Kabal Outfitter
They'd rather print the same card, but with a demon tag, in order to see it playable.
New Rogue Minion - Efficient Octo-bot
Rogue already gets a bunch of draw + discount to (0), do you really need further discount?
New Rogue Minion - Field Contact
Rogue have very good tools atm, maybe it gets the first need hammer on this expansion
New Shaman Minion - Tinyfin's Caravan
Those caravan cards are kinda ridiculous .. but funny too!
Movin' right along, mrgl mrg mrgl mrg.
