I don't mind having taken the time to rate the cards as they've been revealed, and it does make me feel more involved in this community. I don't have the time to think up a reasonable comment for cards, and have too much dignity to post thoughtless comments just for the sake of having a comment on them.
I already hate this card. I don't think it will be consistently played, but rather being teched in anytime large deathrattles, buffs or ongoing effects become commonplace. Any meta that is heavy on Rush or Battlecry, this card could potentially become a huge liability, either "healing" a rush minion, or "buffing" a battlecry minion.
Also, I have a feeling this card will kill Libram Paladin.
I would LOVE to see more discard cards like this. Love this direction. Now if only Warlock could get a Legendary that let's you pick what cards get discarded.
One of the strongest tools Mage is getting imo. For 1 mana extra you get +1 damage on a frostbolt, plus splash damage onto neighbouring minions. For most spells, +1 spell damage isn't really enough to feel that good, but with this, amplifying the effect, it will be noticed.
If Spell Damage Mage works, I think this card will play a good sized role in that. I expect this to be in most Highlander Mages as well.
New Priest & Warlock Minion - Disciplinarian Gandling
Great card, but idk if Priest fits this. Hope to see play with it though!
New Paladin & Priest Minion - High Abbess Alura
God tier card in Paladin.
New Neutral Minion - Cult Neophyte
Unfortunately, this will not see play except possibly in Arena.
New Shaman/Mage Spell - Devolving Missiles
This looks like one of the more fun spells from this expansion.

Great for defense. I like it.

Honestly my favorite of all the "Rager" cards.

New Demon Hunter Minion - Ancient Void Hound
Best case, this becomes a 17/17 at the end of your turn.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Soulshard Lapidary
5 attack seems a bit much for a card like this. WAY too good at first glance.
New Priest & Warlock Minion - Flesh Giant
Giants making a comeback.

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Spell - Demon Companion
This will be a wonderful/terrible thing.
New Neutral Minion - Wretched Tutor
Terrible card. Maybe an Arena card?
New Neutral Minion - Keymaster Alabaster
Throw the robes of protection up and this card to watch your opponent s**t out a living, breathing chicken.
New Neutral Minion - Keymaster Alabaster
Copy a Galakrond for 1 it's a good play lol
New Neutral Minion - Pen Flinger
Idk why, but I like the quick hit and return to hand.
