It's an OK Secret. Best thing it has going for it is that it's hard to trigger, which makes cards that care about having Secrets that much better. Otherwise, it's probably not the best Secret to have in your deck.
Good curve play for Elemental decks, an all-star for those kinds of strategies. I like Elemental decks, and I definitely want to play with this card to see what it brings to the archetype.
I realize this is a bit awkward after I criticized the card for being anachronistic, but I can see why people who wouldn't care would think highly of it. It's a really good card otherwise.
I didn't actually got the chance to watch it but I can see now I have to, because usually after these final reveal stream, all I get is just bile from the community. The fact that there isn't any now means something really big has changed.
It's a decent tool for Buff Warrior, especially if you have a lot of Rush or Charge minions. I don't know if a dedicated Buff deck ever works out, but this might just be good enough to run in a more minion-based Warrior deck if you like getting extra stats on things.
Could be an interesting tool for Mage. I don't think Mage ever tried anything with Violet Teacher, but since this a cheaper version of that maybe they can give it a go. You never know, Jaina might like it.
This is not a great card. However, if you are down to a small hand, you don't exactly need the discount since you have nothing else to spend mana on anyway. It just seems like it will be awkward so much of the time.
BUSTED. Very similar to Whirlkick or Gadgetzan, but honestly better than either of those in my opinion. This likely serves as the main engine of a brand new Miracle Rogue.
New Priest Spell - Devouring Plague
very good, I love it
New Paladin Spell - Galloping Savior

New Neutral Minion - Death's Head Cultist
more DR support
New Rogue Spell - Wicked Stab (Rank 1)
Rogue has better card. Never on turn 10, never. Game is over before
New Neutral Minion - Sunwell Initiate
The neutral divine shields can be pretty powerful.
New Priest Spell - Power Word: Fortitude
Power word doo-doo. If priest is just playing spells again, priest is getting run over.
New Mage Minion - Rimetongue
Can be nice, propably only in freeze mage. Average card.
New Shaman Minion - Earth Revenant
Seems strong. Unplayable maybe with all these frenzy card
New Neutral Minion - Kindling Elemental
Good curve play for Elemental decks, an all-star for those kinds of strategies. I like Elemental decks, and I definitely want to play with this card to see what it brings to the archetype.
New Shaman Minion - Arid Stormer
Elemental shaman: I'm overloaded (ha!) on archetypes.

New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Silence
As a 0-cost card it's preaty good. Silence up to 7 enemy minions is much better than other silence cards.
New Druid Minion - Thickhide Kodo
Stalling was always a Druid thing along with ramping, so taunt makes sense.
Now adding that DR, awesome card with fair stats and great controlling value.
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
It's a decent tool for Buff Warrior, especially if you have a lot of Rush or Charge minions. I don't know if a dedicated Buff deck ever works out, but this might just be good enough to run in a more minion-based Warrior deck if you like getting extra stats on things.

Cross-Pollination - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
Very interesting theme for this one, especially with the banning of Druid cards. Thought I'd go for the most adorable Demon Hunter, Sklibb!
New Mage Spell - Refreshing Spring Water
Crazy in spells deck. Good in otk deck
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame
Delayed effect, but unstopable (i think), so nice to clear board this way
New Mage Minion - Rimetongue
Could be an interesting tool for Mage. I don't think Mage ever tried anything with Violet Teacher, but since this a cheaper version of that maybe they can give it a go. You never know, Jaina might like it.
New Rogue Minion - Efficient Octo-bot
Broom.
Then free stuff... just 3 mana combo. It's... It's... Rogue.
New Priest Spell - Power Word: Fortitude
This is not a great card. However, if you are down to a small hand, you don't exactly need the discount since you have nothing else to spend mana on anyway. It just seems like it will be awkward so much of the time.
I'll stick with Apotheosis for now.
New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
Great card - infinite value for Hunter. And still it will be 1-cost card.
New Warrior Minion - Whirling Combatant
Frenzy warrior! The theme song will be epic. It's going on in my head right now.
To the keyboards!
New Rogue Minion - Field Contact
