I see this mainly in Pirate Warrior as you play [Hearthstone Card (Reaper Scythe) Not Found] on turn 4 and play this for free after playingCaptain Greenskin or Doctor Krastinov on turn 5. I don't see this fitting into Rogue as well due to how efficient Secret Passage is as a reload already. Overall, more of an aggressive Warrior card than a Rogue card.
High potential, not something I can really look at and think "Oh, this would be perfect in X". But I'm sure someone will find a broken deck to run this in.
I see this mainly in Pirate Warrior for standard. I think the power of this in that archetype is less about the spellburst and more about curving into Captain Greenskin or Doctor Krastinov with an aggressive 4 mana weapon, which would allow you to play Cutting Class for free on turn 5 as well. Bomb and Enrage Warriors have their own weapons they run already and Control Warrior doesn't have a competitive win condition. Maybe Big Warrior also runs this, but I think that deck will be too slow in standard.
I think we can accept that mage don't draw that well, so there are certain decks which Cram Session and Arcane Intellect can both be acceptable inclusions, so a direct comparison may not always be appropriate. I can see there being some sort of a build around with the current cyclone giants mage, where consistency is a real issue since Mountain Giants are no longer available.
At first glance this card might seem superfluous, but it comes with a decent body, so while it might be the weakest of the shard support cards, it's not terrible.
New Paladin Spell - First Day of School
Randomized Crystology (kind of)!

New Neutral Minion - Lorekeeper Polkelt
Interesting design. I think this is most likely a Quest Warlock tool to try and guarantee you get the most value from your new hero power.
New Priest & Warlock Minion - Disciplinarian Gandling
Because I can't see it as being that useful in a priest deck, this will be what I get for my golden legendary, but good for warlocks, I guess.
New Paladin & Priest Minion - High Abbess Alura
High potential, not something I can really look at and think "Oh, this would be perfect in X". But I'm sure someone will find a broken deck to run this in.
New Warrior Weapon - Reaper Scythe
Spellburst converting this weapon to Frostmourne for a turn. I approve!
New Mage Minion - Lab Partner
With all the other spell damage support this set, this will be played, due to it's cheap cost.
New Warrior Minion - Playmaker
I don't think this is that great, but often epic cards are very niche.

New Paladin & Priest Minion - High Abbess Alura
I'm afraid this will be so much better for paladin than priest, and that's sad. Priests deserve nice things too.
New Neutral Minion - Lorekeeper Polkelt
I can't wait to see what sort of shenanigans this card gets up to. In standard, and definitely in wild.
New Paladin Spell - First Day of School
I think you might be correct.
New Paladin & Warrior Spell - Shield of Honor
Just because I say something is a good card, doesn't mean I look forward to having that card played against me. This is a good card.
New Priest & Warlock Spell - Raise Dead
For it's rarity and ability, this might be the best card in the entire set. I look forward to trying out some new priest decks.

New Rogue & Warrior Spell - Coerce
This card is pretty good and no reason for it not to see play.
New Priest Minion - Frazzled Freshman
This card doesn't look that exciting but it might be a sleeper. RIP Northshire Cleric, never forgotten!
New Rogue & Warrior Spell - Coerce
I know it have some potential. But I'm not connected with the art. Maybe more blood. It's an assassinate after all.
New Rogue & Warrior Spell - Cutting Class
I'm not sure if this will see play or not but I definitely love the pun lol.
New Rogue Weapon - Self-Sharpening Sword
This isn't that exciting but maybe I will be surprised. There are many good weapon support cards that might make this quite good.
New Rogue & Warrior Spell - Cutting Class
With Arcanite Reaper and Gorehowl it's a free draw, which result in a huge tempo swing
New Warlock Minion - Void Drinker
This card might be the star of the shard supported cards.
New Druid & Shaman Minion - Groundskeeper
I think is better on druid than shaman because the spell pool, where druid have more spells 5+. Very good stats and taunt. Very flexible card
New Warlock Minion - Shadowlight Scholar
At first glance this card might seem superfluous, but it comes with a decent body, so while it might be the weakest of the shard support cards, it's not terrible.
