Oh man... This is Wild is going to help level the playing field of Secret Mage a lot given that it's been a Tier 1 for YEARS now. In standard, with all the secret support that is coming out, I can see this being a super tech card.
Priests will love/use this. They are good at board clears. This is cheap board clear. If they get a holy spell power buff, then this can be really gross.
Best anti-secret tech ever? Still a tech card, so secrets have to be big for this card to see play. At least it offers a counter if a secret meta takes off.
The thing is, though, that we should expect some spell school synergy cards, especially in the mini-set (I don't have the source but they said this at some point). That means there will probably either be some form of Holy spell damage or something that benefits from casting Holy spells. Also keep in mind that this is technically an alternate to Holy Nova if you want to run the new Kazakus card.
Neat tech type. Not a destroy, which is a big bummer for the secret holder, but could still really offer a solid counter to secret focused decks. Still has the potential to be crap depending on what class/secrets you get.
I like the mechanic, but won't work for Aggro DH who like having lots of small minions on board, and is a bit limited late-game at 3 damage. More interested in seeing other sigil cards now.
I love that they found an interesting way to do sigils for DH's. I like the design, as it is still fair as the opponent can see it coming. I hope the other sigils are neat. Will likely see play from several archetypes.
VERY nifty cheap Secret tech. In Wild I imagine people might have fun using this against Secret Mage. In standard we haven't seen Secret techs be hard run in years, so I'm not optimistic.
I think we will see this card around. Warriors attack. A lot. More than most other classes. I see this as a fantastic control card to stop up/slow down opponents and even threaten in the right situation.
Holy Ripple didn't see much (if any) play and this card has to wait till turn 5+ to be on par with Breath of the Infinite. If the meta demands early removal this will definitely see play, but it seems pretty meh otherwise.
Has potential, just because of the card draw aspect, but as many have pointed out, this may be too slow. Will need to re-evaluate when all available spells are known to see if it overcome being a slower card.

Thanh Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Priest Card - Condemn (Rank 1)
Here's the flavour text for the card:
I'm assuming Xyrella will be the priest legendary, considering the same is said for Bru'kan and chain lightning

New Priest Minion - Lightshower Elemental
Solid priest card with upsides they love. Will definitely see play in a few types of decks.

New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
With the handbuff that warrior has, this has a lot of potential

Chain Lightning (Rank 2)
2 to deal 6 damage and potentially hit an evasive minion, pretty solid
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame
I like the mechanic, but won't work for Aggro DH who like having lots of small minions on board, and is a bit limited late-game at 3 damage. More interested in seeing other sigil cards now.
Chain Lightning (Rank 3)
2 to deal 8 damage and could hit an evasive minion without overload? Pretty solid

New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
Curves insanely well with Sword Eater, I could see this card working in a very wide variety of Warrior decks.
New Priest Minion - Lightshower Elemental
Totally solid with the Taunt. If it didn't have that, it would still be a pain to deal with on the board.
New Hunter Minion - Barak Kodobane
Neat idea. Probably still just draw and smorc, as hunters do. Could be pretty good if the spell support is there.

Looking forward to the Priest legendary - 3 cost 2/4: your Holy spells have Lifesteal

Ooooh, big healing for Priest this expac it seems! Works very well with both N'zoths, which is always cool to see.
