Currently level 17 (501/2600) towards 18, and I do not have the Tavern Pass. I only played Ranked Standard to get to Gold 10 otherwise I've been playing Battle Grounds/Duels for achievements. I did complete last weeks win 7 games of Ranked Play mode via low Bronze Wild while completing Ride Together, Die Together, Lothraxion's Balloon Shop & Two Punch Man.
at 4 mana this is less powerful than our previous amalgam, but the taunt gives it something. Might see play in menagerie/murloc decks (4/5 murloc is good) but not sure how much further than that.
Seems super solid in Pure Paladin, which i'm guessing it still gonna be a tier 1/ high tier 2 deck. So i guess High Exarch Yrel will see plenty of play in standard.
In wild i don't know if it will see play. Pure paladin is generally more of a buff deck, but i think it will see plenty of experimentation at the very least. High Exarch Yrel reminds me of Shirvallah, the Tiger and Zilliax. Both were, and still are very good cards.
Also i'm happy for the Yrel fans, because now she is finally in HS.
Not sure how i feel about this one. You need 3 spells to get value off of it, which doesn't seem like that much of an ask, however, it has anti synergy with big/resurrect priest. Will see play if a "spell" priest style of deck does.
I think we're getting close to a tipping point where Demon decks actually become good. If that happens in an upcoming expansion, then this card is going to suddenly see a lot of play, especially considering how well it does with buffs like Imprisoned Scrap Imp.
It should, based on the wording - they both list the Discard as happening first, then their effect, as opposed to something like Soulfire which lists them in the opposite order.
While the card seems quite good as a beast, there isn't really a spot for it right now in hunter decks, and I don't really see that changing. Probably won't see play.
I don't see this being run in Standard unless we get some good beast buffs in upcoming expansions. If there's a Crackling Razormaw type card around, this card suddenly gets a LOT better.
Just a good minion to fill out whichever tribe you are missing in a N'Zoth deck, and just a good taunt for any tribal deck that would like one. Dragon and Beast probably have better options, but could find a place in Murloc, Elemental, Totem, and even Pirate decks.

If shuffle the most expensive card could fit on combo decks, but the cheaper one... IDK.
New Paladin Minion - High Exarch Yrel
More fuel for Pure Paladin, sigh.

New Warrior Spell - Stage Dive
could see play in any deck that wants to draw a specific rush card. Galakrond warrior maybe?

New Neutral Minion - Wriggling Horror
Good in some kind of zoo deck.
New Hunter Minion - Dancing Cobra

New Hunter Minion - Mystery Winner
Very strong card for most hunter decks.
New Priest Spell - Auspicious Spirits
Good enough to see some play I think, but probably not in constructed.
New Neutral Minion - Safety Inspector
Pretty good card in a combo deck, such as the new c'thun decks or that wacky Y'sharrj shaman. Remains to be seen how good these decks will be though.
New Hunter Minion - Mystery Winner
Must include in the new Secret Hunter deck!

Uther's menagerie
This honestly looks more fun than anything. I will have to give this a swing!
New Neutral Minion - Wriggling Horror
Strong card.
4/3 stats for 2 mana... as prenerf Flametongue Totem?
New Priest Minion - Fortune Teller
Trash card, moving on... nothing to see here ;-)
New Neutral Minion - Safety Inspector
Interesting mechanic, but does not fit in any existing deck IMO.
New Warrior Spell - Stage Dive
Occasionally worse than Town Crier

New Warrior Spell - Feat of Strength
Taunt decks will never be a thing, not even good enough to be included with Fire Plume's Heart
New Paladin Minion - Carnival Barker
Hobgoblin for Paladins.
New Neutral Minion - Circus Amalgam
Trash if it did not have all tribes, so might see some play.
