Copying even any animal companion seems decent . Some beast keep dodging the bullet and can still charge. Plan B is ok too, just need a deck build in synergy. Versatile enough to see play.
I feel like Druid got the shaft on this expansion. Nothing really amazing or long lasting in my opinion. I mean, if you are able to play Embiggen and a lot of ramp, Survival of the Fittest may be worth playing with lots of low cost minions, but then you need to think about a decent method to draw them out of your deck... something that druid needs if there are going to be lots of minions
Combo and straight up control can endure the card/tempo loss. Dunno if it's worth it, but they can. Aggro on the other hand got no business on this one. I think it's about HS pick a trick or two from other card games.
Of all the cards, I most looking forward to Devolving Missiles. It has so much potential to just flat out irritate people. The fact that it doesn't rely on damage to devolve means that all the divine shields in the world won't help you. Let's just be glad that Blizzard didn't make it a full Devolve-Arcane Missiles hybrid that scaled with spell damage
I think that Rogue won out on this class hybrid thing. Most of the cards I think are going to be more useful for Rogues to pay with than Mages, but that remains to be seen.
Druid is close second as the most spell intensive class right now. This will fit nicely, as long as you don't mind the RNG craping on you once in a while.
Fantastic reference and a great buff for the 2 mana slot. Wish it healed face for that perfect flavour connection, but honestly the effect it does have is way better than that would be, so I can't really complain.
This is one I'm gonna have to mess around with - can't wait to see how it handles buffs. My instinct is that you'll just get an 8/8, but who knows, maybe they went wild with it.
I love this little subtheme of 'ghost' minions - they're like a variation on Reborn or Twinspell and I think it's a really cute idea. Glad they didn't try to push it too hard because the cards aren't actually great, but a fun theme nonetheless.

New Priest Spell - Power Word: Feast

New Neutral Minion - Sneaky Delinquent
Deathrattle: kinda summon this again. So many of those, boring every time. Pack filler.
New Druid & Hunter Spell - Adorable Infestation
Kinda simple, but effective. It's 3/3 worth of stats across three bodies for (1). Useless turn 1, but great value once you got a beast on the ground.
New Neutral Weapon - Sphere of Sapience
Combo and straight up control can endure the card/tempo loss. Dunno if it's worth it, but they can. Aggro on the other hand got no business on this one. I think it's about HS pick a trick or two from other card games.
New Druid Spell - Nature Studies
Someone will use it as some kind of combo enabler, let's wait and see
Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Demon Hunter Cards
I think Magehunter and all the Soul Fragment cards are going to be the most played out of all of these. .

New Druid Minion - Twilight Runner
If Guardian Animals summon 2 Twilight Runner you can easily draw 4 cards.
Very strong imho

New Shaman Minion - Instructor Fireheart
One of the best golden legendaries of the set. :D
New Mage & Rogue Spell - Potion of Illusion
OTK Mage is 100% back.
New Hunter Minion - Krolusk Barkstripper
I mean, it has potential? Should have just made it deathrattle imo.
New Neutral Minion - Robes of Protection
Holy toleto, Batman.
New Mage Spell - Cram Session
This will be a vital piece to Spell Damage Mage. D:
New Neutral Minion - Steward of Scrolls
Looks like a solid 5 drop. Spell damage is nice too.

It isn't bad, but it isn't great either.
