3/5 + 1 damage to all (at least) for 4 mana is a bargain!

I will say this lord jaxarus is not really weak in the sense that he could provide infinite vaule. Even with sacifical pact to weaken back then, he was played commonly. The problem is as addressed by many people is the fact that warlock really has no cards to deal with the meta in order for him to see play. When blizzards keeps making bs cards such as 4 turn summon a 8/8 and 3/6, it kind is hard to see how jaxarus see play in this meta. I won't say he is weak, I would say this. Some cards are really strong in certain metas, and some cards are good in all types of metas. If the meta was focused on control then I believe jaxarus will see some sort of play. 

Avenge + Cannonmaster Smythe = I predict tempo/secret paladin will be at least tier 2.

All enemies, including the face. It may seem hard to deal 10 damage with Hero Power, but remember that they've included Fallen Hero and Coldarra Drake in the Core set. We might also see more Hero Power synergy.

Pretty strong late-game bomb for a Control Mage, clears the board and helps push lethal now that Pyroblast will be gone. We'll have to see what other kinds of hero power support Mage gets though. 

Pyroblast to all enemies, plus a 10/10 on board? Sign me up. 

Interesting payoff for running Fallen Hero

including the enemy hero? that's insane !

Like the original version, I expect this will see play in some control decks at least -- probably not paladin (many of their good cards are 4 mana) or druid (Overgrowth is better), but maybe priest and warlock?

Well with Fallen Hero it becomes a Consecration

So now we wait for more mage hero power cards.

This is a great card for all modes.

Given the new legendary wants you to deal 10 damage with your hero power, I think this will see play. And who knows, maybe it can be used alongside some of the other hero power synergy cards mage has in wild.

Hero power mage decks? Interesting control idea

Looks pretty solid, mage needs some good cards in this expansion.

Well we have Fallen Hero in core 2021

Worst case is 1-damage AoE and builds towards [Hearthstone Card (Mordesh Fire Eye) Not Found]. With Fallen Hero around, this could be a pretty nice skeleton for a package in some Control Mage.

Avenge + Cannonmaster Smythe = I predict tempo/secret paladin will be at least tier 2.

Remember Jan'alai the Dragonhawk? This is just better in everyway. And is this a guitar playing undead? What's happening in the Barrens?!

So, now that the new Kaz got revealed, the chances of getting a new Finja should go up, right?

Like people speculate, he could be one of the mercs. If that's the case, I'm putting my money on Rogue.

Quote From KANSAS

It's similar to Spiteful Summoner, only slower and more reliable. It is 8 mana but it puts two bodies on the board and adds a card to your hand. The main problem is that it won't always have an immediate impact on the board. The spell will be too expensive to play, and the minion summoned may not be any good. 

I may be underestimating this card, but outside of ramp druid I don't see this being broken.

 

Spiteful also gave you two bodies, the card draw is good since you should be in your later turns to drop high mana spells, but still this feels too slow

So mage is going back to HP cards? Could be interesting to see how they try do make it work this time.
