Might see some value in the new spell damage orientated deck. It's not terrible coz most of the time, the spell will be more valuable than anything randomly generated or discovered.
One of the new big guns, a reason to believe in brute force again, the key card for Fraggle Lock - gotta love this guy. I almost can't imagine not running him (or her, I suppose - do Voidthings have gender?) unless I'm just stubbornly opposed to all Soul Fragment hijinks, or just blindly loyal to the Chillwind Yeti. Another card we'll be seeing a lot of very soon.
I would suggest cutting the Spirit Jailer as well as the highlander cards and adding 2 Flesh Giant as they are going to be either low cost or free 8/8's when you draw them which helps with board presence a ton!!
This is my take on the deck, if you wish to see it.
There is the stealth package where this can see some value and you can play it safely on turn 4 knowing it'll be more difficult to remove. If only the spellburst effect was more interesting
The problem with master of ceremonies was also the bad reward for your efford, a 4 hp 3 drop is nothing spectacular.. If you look by vanilla standards it's +3 attack over vanilla 3/4 (spider tank) which isn't really amazing.
Errrrrrrr? 3-4 of the top aggro decks can kill you by turn 4-5 if you cant throw out small allies to block. And over half the people in ranked are running some form of aggro deck. The rest are the usual burn decks. There are very few midrange decks left other than that. I can go 10-15 matches without seeing a buff deck or a deep deck. Heck even I play Hecarim rush decks because the game is over by turn 5-6, whether I win or loose. That and its higher burst damage than most aggro decks can handle if you get 3-4 sharks rolling by turn 5.
Outcast is a mechanic that drives me crazy - whenever I play Demon Hunter, I spend too much energy trying to get that outcast bonus, and the RNG Draw gods just love to mess with me. I can just see my mulligan now. . . card one, Archwitch Willow, card two, Felosophy. That said, getting another Spirit Jailer to score more Soul Fragments seems to be the key use for this card, though later on you can double a big ugly Demon Hunter card or Kanrethad Prime for maximum entertainment value. It'll be a fun play around card that may end up being reliably strong.
I'm not sure on how consistently you can get this card activated on turn three but if it turns out you can do it somewhat consistently, I can see this card putting in a lot of work. It's a pretty decent card in zoo but I'm not sold on the Soul Fragments being sold on the idea yet.
Keymaster Alabaster doesn't yield its benefits until your next turn, and that's really slow for a 7-drop without Rush or Taunt. Also, generally speaking, your more likely to get low-cost cards (< 5 mana) than high-cost cards (> 5 mana) across all decks as every deck needs something for the early game. I just don't see why any deck would want to run this.
Your point make nosense. Everyone try mulligan low cost cards in their starting hand as a general rule. So there are much more chance you got higher cost cards from your opponent deck than you thought.
There is a Warhammer based card games : Horus Heresy Legions which copies 95% of Hearthstone combat system. So there is a 3 mana 2/3 legendary which exactly the same ability of this card, but weaker since it just copy but doesn't reduce the cost. Guess what ? That card in every freaking decks of that game since its launch , from Aggro to Control. So I dare to say that this card will be in every control deck until rotate out of Standard.

New Demon Hunter & Warlock Spell - Felosophy
I have a feeling this is an auto include card in the new soul fragment deck due to Spirit Jailer. Keen to see it in action.
New Warlock Minion - Void Drinker
This card alone makes me excited for the soul fragment mechanic, lets hope it's viable without quest too.
New Warlock Minion - Archwitch Willow
Super Juicy for control, but the current big demons are somewhat lackluster atm. Will have to wait for future expansions, but I do like this.

New Demon Hunter Minion - Vilefiend Trainer
Glad blizzard is releasing some toned down DH class cards. This card is acceptable and that's good.
Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Shaman/Mage Dual Class Cards
There will be someone who create Ras Frostwhisper OTK with multiplying the 'at the end turn' effect and spell-damage shenanigans. Just you wait..
New Quest Lock
Adding Zephrys the Great and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza is not something that makes a whole lot of sense when you are running a whopping 12 Soul Fragments in your deck...
I would suggest cutting the Spirit Jailer as well as the highlander cards and adding 2 Flesh Giant as they are going to be either low cost or free 8/8's when you draw them which helps with board presence a ton!!

New Shaman/Mage Spell - Devolving Missiles
I'd definitely appreciate getting this off Cobalt Spellkin
New Rogue Minion - Shifty Sophomore

New Neutral Minion - Lake Thresher
Everyone is saying this will only be played with Guardian Animals but there's also evolve, discover, random card generation and arena xD
New Druid Minion - Forest Warden Omu
Combo is back baby! (Till opponent plays Mindrender Illucia and ruins your combo)

So did the last patch kill Noxus aggro?

New Priest & Warlock Minion - Brittlebone Destroyer
Very nice design and good simple wording to show how each class can manipulate their health during their turns. Oh wait, I'm just reiterating with they said in the card overview: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/1660-our-thoughts-on-hearthstones-scholomance-academy-priestwarlock-dual-class-cards
xD Lets just mention it some more. Good job Blizzard!
New Shaman Minion - Totem Goliath
I wonder if Vectus plus Totem Goliath would be any good in totem shaman, would definitely make for more sticky totems, that's for sure
New Warlock Minion - Boneweb Egg
Looking forward to using this egg in disco zoolock, it'll probably be used more with EVIL Genius than a discard target
New Neutral Minion - Keymaster Alabaster
As Kripp would say: "Guaranteed to cause Salt" card rating :D
New Demon Hunter & Warlock Spell - Soul Shear
The default Nether Breath for the possible soul fragment decks. I think Warlock will be stronger than DH though
New Warlock Minion - Shadowlight Scholar
I'm not sure on how consistently you can get this card activated on turn three but if it turns out you can do it somewhat consistently, I can see this card putting in a lot of work. It's a pretty decent card in zoo but I'm not sold on the Soul Fragments being sold on the idea yet.
New Neutral Minion - Desk Imp
5/5 stars just for making Galakrond, the Wretched impfinitely worse xD
New Demon Hunter Spell - Double Jump
Probably one of the worse, simpler cards for DH and that's a good thing
New Warrior Spell - Athletic Studies
Looking at all the top heavy rush minions above 5 mana, this is a good card for both control and tempo warrior: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/?page=1&has_mechanics=14&collectible=yes&standard=yes
