With the right DR cards this is absolutely nuts. That is potentially a lot os stats summoned along with strong DR effects and deck thinning on top of it.
A strong combo i'm seeing is Twilight Runner and cast something like Ironbark on it. Next turn play Plaguemaw the Rotting before you trade Twilight Runner into something in order to summon a new copy of it. This gives druid a lot more draw.
Saurfang finally found his way to Hearthstone! Really cool.
And I never thought I'd see the resurrect mechanic in Warrior. We haven't seen that many Frenzy cards yet so it's hard to gauge the power level of this card, but I guess it instantly activates those frenzy effects since its deal 1 damage to all other minions. This will be a nice tool for Warriors, but it's totally dependent on the power level of Frenzy cards we'll see since it's probably just going to be an expansion-specific keyword.
Well, Saurfang was an adventure boss back in Frozen Throne, but this is the first time he's appeared as a card.
I agree that resurrect is an unexpected mechanic for Warrior. This card might work best if you limit your Frenzy minions in order to control which ones he summons. For example, if you know he'll bring back Blademaster Samuro, you can bank on a 2-damage AOE, plus Samuro has Rush.

New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Watchtower decks sound like control decks. So a priest card! They even can be ressurected!
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
I don't see it as a bad card, Rush Warrior is a thing, so this could be really a sleeper card or a meme.
Hope the former.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Stats are awful but the effect more than makes up for this. Great card that will definitely see play

Really helpful page on checking out new cards!
New Druid Minion - Plaguemaw the Rotting
Possible targets so far for this: Druid of the Plains after Frenzy triggers, Greybough, Teacher's Pet, Archspore Msshi'fn. It also has quite some good synergy with Germination, Mark of the Spikeshell, Mark of the Wild and Ironbark. It seems like their really pushing taunt druid, in b4 we get a Hadronox reprint in a future set, or in the mini set.

Yeh Plaguemaw the Rotting seems quite good alongside taunts with deathrattles. Will probably see play in taunt/control druid and Guardian Animals druid, because of Teacher's Pet.
However there is 1 GIANT problem with this card, and that's that it costs 4 mana, which means that you probably won't run it alongside Kazakus, Golem Shaper. (Unless Kazakus, Golem Shaper is so strong that your willing to wait until you drew Plaguemaw the Rotting from your deck before playing Kazakus, Golem Shaper. Kinda like how most super draw heavy decks run Zephrys the Great as a finisher.)
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
It should read, "Has 1 attack during your turn" not "can't attack". Too restrictive.
Compared to the other one, this is slightly better, still, not convinced at all.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Yes, amazingly lore-wise fitted card. Can change board situation in one turn.
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Auto-include in all priest decks which include some form of healing. I can see huge swing turns coming with this
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
AmazingLP is a monster, shame 2 of the cards revealed were meh.
This being one of them...

Well, there's always a meme legendary in every expansion, guess we'll got to wait and see if more support is incoming, if not...
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Awesome control tool for priest, which is going the right way in terms of mechanics.
Fk ress priest.
New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
I'll guess it's good as a finisher when your board is full of Silver hand recruits and you are chipping away health from your opponent every turn.
Basically a Blessing of Might on steroids.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Really good effect, but understated minion.

This is a potential nerf candidate. Even at 5 Mana it would be good.
