The strength of the "Studies" is in their permanent mana-cost reduction. The only one that doesn't benefit too much is Nature Studies because 1) you can't double the discount; 2) it's hard to save the discount for a specific spell - it's a perfectly fair short-term ramp at best. But doubling discounts on deathrattles, dragons, and demons could provide some serious mana-cheating for classes that don't typically have them. The point is not cheating out the discovered card, but a specific one in your deck.
Well deserved, also Cauldron Familiar is a pleasant surprise. This should stop the Rakdos sac nonsense with cat and oven from taking over the meta after ramp takes a big hit. Can't wait to see it going.
I disagree with the review of Bloated Python. Regardless if the minion it spawns is a beast or not, the fact that this can be grabbed by Hunter's search cards and buffed as IT is a beast means that this is way better than it is given credit. With all the hand buff that Hunter has now, this card will certainly be a staple in a lot of decks. It's efficient and replaces itself.
New Paladin Minion - Argent Braggart
This card is absolutely bonkers and I love it. Auto-include for every Paladin deck. :D
New Paladin Minion - Turalyon, the Tenured
It's decent. Not great, not bad....just decent. I feel like this effect could have gone on an epic card.
New Mage & Shaman Minion - Ras Frostwhisper
Throw this in wild for maximum value. :D

New Mage Minion - Mozaki, Master Duelist
Arcane missiles to victory.

New Demon Hunter Spell - Double Jump
Just put 2 of these in the deck alongside Star Student Stelina and 2 Glide cards and call it a day. This card GUARANTEES the Outcast effect.
New Warlock Minion - Archwitch Willow
If put in the right Control deck, can be scary. Otherwise, it's just an ok card.

New Shaman Spell - Molten Blast
Elemental Shaman?
New Hunter Minion - Professor Slate
Just another Rick trying to find his Morty.
New Shaman Minion - Totem Goliath
It's nice to see the Totem archetype getting some mega love this expansion. :D
New Neutral Minion - Sneaky Delinquent
I do like the idea of a stealth deck. :)
New Neutral Minion - Transfer Student
I must say, I love when team 5 explore new mechanics in a creative way.
Love the entrance animation
New Shaman Minion - Totem Goliath
Maybe one day my dream of summon 2 Al'Akir the Windlord via Windshear Stormcaller is near

Depends on your board state, and still probably worth it to take down that annoying thing.
New Warrior Minion - Troublemaker
They are pushing the Recruit Warrior with the last 2 years.
Absolute tempo swing, and if you manage to clear the board is a constant damage to face. And if the 3/3 token live, will snowball very fast
New Shaman Spell - Molten Blast
Well at least it's a synergy with Lady Vashj, although it's a terrible wording on this card
New Priest Spell - Draconic Studies
Wild Dragon Priest: Hello friend lol
New Demon Hunter & Warlock Minion - Soulciologist Malicia
Soul Fragment mechanic will enbale a lot of board clears and give you durability for late game instances
New Hunter Minion - Professor Slate
MarkMcKz will make an awesome video of this card being the mvp of the deck
New Warlock Minion - Archwitch Willow
It will see some play in Cube Warlock in wild
