I can see ppl getting confused when they combine Polkelt with other shuffle mechanics like soul fragments and don't understand why their deck isn't ordered by mana cost anymore xD
This is a pretty solid write up of the Mage cards. Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say about any of these. They are all extremely awesome and think that Mage will be more of a powerhouse in the meta.
I'd say my favorite champtions are a toss up between Swain and Katarina. The gameplay you build around Katarina is super satisfying to pull off, and just feels great. Swain delivers really well on his lore fantasy, and his level up animation is my favorite in the game.
Favorite non- champ minion is probably Arena Bookie. Great interactions with cards, and a really fun gameplay mechanic to build around. I actually really liked playing decks with him even before the buffs, and he's so much better now it's just crazy. Runner up is Ember Maiden for the interesting synergies she brings out, and the unusual situations trying to play her optimally creates.
Favorite spell is Noxian Guillotine. Feels great when you get a good setup for it, and catches a lot of people by surprise. Also has a top tier animation.
This is a good card, it isn't over-powered and will work well in both Warrior and Paladin with the tools they currently have and maybe even some new ones.
New Mage Minion - Wyrm Weaver
Yea, make that 5-cost minion pool even better for Apexis Blast first Headmaster Kel'Thuzad and now this :D
New Paladin Spell - First Day of School
New tool for a Rider of Apocalypse OTK
New Demon Hunter & Hunter Minion - Ace Hunter Kreen
Very good for board pushing strategies, basically free trading and while ace hunter is alive
New Neutral Minion - Wandmaker
I doubt ppl would actually put this in their decks, but it's not a bad discover option or arena card
New Neutral Minion - Smug Senior
Killed by the beast(?) behind him
New Neutral Minion - Lorekeeper Polkelt

New Neutral Minion - Wandmaker
This an Cobalt Spellkin are giving enough fuel for a Ras Frostwhisper, Mozaki, Master Duelist OTK
New Mage Minion - Wyrm Weaver
It seems very slow, and the tokens will not live more than one turn
New Neutral Minion - Voracious Reader
I will run it on my wild mech hunter, poor Jeeves. He had accomplished his purpose
New Mage Spell - Cram Session
It's very strong for a spell power deck, and have a potential otk drawing engine
New Neutral Minion - Robes of Protection
Maybe it will not survive the summoning turn, but you can make your opponent waste resources on removing it
New Paladin Minion - Goody Two-Shields
I don't know if it's just ok or if it is a good card?
New Mage & Shaman Minion - Trick Totem
Who doesn't love a little RNG? Lot's of Hearthstone players lol

New Mage & Rogue Spell - Brain Freeze
With all of cheap spells the Ras Frostwhisper and Mozaki, Master Duelist otk is drawing near
New Paladin & Priest Minion - Devout Pupil
I think priest and paladin can both make use of this card.

Wet Warrior Dreams
New Neutral Minion - Educated Elekk
This card will be a nice way to force someone to use a silence, because if they don't, they will regret it.
New Paladin & Priest Minion - Devout Pupil
They are pushing the light fantasy to buffing things, that's not always bad, nor good.
New Neutral Minion - Fishy Flyer
There must always be a murloc. Even if there is only one.
New Druid Minion - Forest Warden Omu
It will enable some degenarate combos, as his cousin Kun the Forgotten King did
New Paladin & Warrior Minion - Lord Barov
This is a good card, it isn't over-powered and will work well in both Warrior and Paladin with the tools they currently have and maybe even some new ones.
