I think I also saw someone say on these forums that Bilgewater is going to be the next new region but I could be wrong about this.
There have been no public announcements, but the patches include a lot of new unused data and some people like to datamine it and speculate if/what its future usage will be. One such datamine implied 6 new regions include a crest that strongly resembles Bilgewater's; there was an OutOfCards news post about it:
Truth, Renekton would be better than Amumu, he could have more interactions with Azir and Nasus, maybe Xerath instead of Sivir as well, but I was personally hoping for Sivir
Beastmaster Leoroxx, Zixor, Apex Predator - Beast hunter intrigues me. I think there will be 2 archetypes: 1 will be multiple beasts one then cheating our charge minions with Leoroxx as the wincon, and another will be the single beast one with focusing tutoring and buffing zixor. Not sure if one, both, or neither will be viable.
Murgur Murgurgle, Lady Liadrin - Midrange Paladin was my favorite deck before and the Librams make it possible again.
Maiev Shadowsong - Not a particularly interesting card (for me) but she's a neutral and I agree she will be a staple in most decks.
Honorable Mention: Evocation - I want to try a pure spell mage, I don't think it will be viable but I want to try,
From a power perspective though, I think rogue will be king again.
From what I understand, since they have a when awakened Trigger on them, they should go off a second time AND be healed back to what there baseline is.

Understandable. I used to do that, but now I tend to get enough packs through preorder and my gold stash that I am good. I also DE'd all my golden cards unless I didn't have two or if they were legendary. Sacrificed some flare for more dust reserves to help catch up on card collection over time.
As the title suggests, the introduction of Lady Liadrin and the Librams has me curious as-to whether or not I can make The Last Kaleidosaur a fun deck. I don't care if it's Tier 1, but I would like to win a game or two. I'm always second-guessing my ability to put a deck together :(
Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Some questions I have:
- The deck is like 99% Paladin cards, so I went ahead and made it 100% with Lightforged Crusader. Is this a good idea?
- What's the desired ratio between minions and the buff spells? The bare minimum is 6 buffs, unless you count Libram of Wisdom's ability to copy itself, but that seems like too little.
- Are these the most desirable minions to buff? I don't have to stick with being "Pure"; it just seemed like a convenient outcome at the time. I thought about including Murgur Murgurgle as another reload + buff opportunity, but I don't know what to drop for him (if anything).
Kayn Sunfury. Like most of you, I am very intrigued and excited by this card. It is so flexible and useful in a manner of situations and it will act as a good finisher when your opponent plays a taunt. This is the first expansion of the year, so I will try and collect less "build around" cards and more "staple" cards that will go in a manner of decks.
Maiev Shadowsong. This card is just too good in too many decks for me to justify not owning her. I imagine she will play a similar role to Zilliax in the coming years.
Magtheridon. I am very excited for this card. I am not 100% sure how good it will be and I have higher crafting priorities, but I will be so happy if I open him. I really do think this will be a very powerful card as you can pair it with any small board clear to get a huge board clear.
Honorable mentions:
Keli'dan the Breaker, A very powerful and flexible card, but not the highest on my list of priorities.
The Lurker Below, like Keli'dan, while this card looks fairly powerful and flexible, there are better legendaries to aquire.
Any of the Hunter legendaries. I really like the look of hunter this set, big powerful beasts are a lot more appealing to me than lots of tiny beasts. But I don't want to commit my resources to putting together an experimental deck. I would rather get more flexible cards that can be used in more decks like Maiev.
Interesting tech card, that will always become relevant when murlocs or demons run havoc. This card might be a good way to counter DH on the first days of the new expansion.
This card is comparable to Goboglide Tech, which saw play in Mech Paladin. Bonechewer Raider could see play in Tempo Warrior. Since the Bettlecry can also be triggerd by damaged enemy minions, it might be not too difficult to play this as 4/4. In contrast to Restless Mummy, this card will rather be played for tempo than as removal.
Compared to Upgrade!, you only have to pay 1 additional mana to tutor a weapon. That's great value. Besides Pirate Warrior, this might also fit into Control Warrior to draw Bulwark of Azzinoth.
A nice card for Tempo Warrior. Since the cost of this minion is also reduced by the opponents minions, it might be rather easy to play this minion on turn 4 or 5, which is a strong tempo play.
Good early game removal, espacially if the Warlock doesn't control any minions. Rather bad in the late game though, but Warlock has Plague of Flames to control the board in later turns.
New Hunter Spell - Nagrand Slam
'' Come on and slam, and welcome to Nagrand! ''
Now I want to watch Space Jam!
Bilgewater&Shurima
That's very intriguing

Does Ashe Need A Nerf?
nvm frostbite isn't as strong as I thought, still annoying tho
New Neutral Minion - Maiev Shadowsong

1
: Hoping Secrets will become something more then a 1 set thing for Rogue this time.
2
: This will be a Fun Casino Mage Card in Prime Mode and even Baseline will be strong for Casino to use there spells.
3
: Will be a strong Lockdown card, as well as possibly a good reset/silence effect on buffed minions.

Hunter is a problem

New Neutral Minion - Blistering Rot
Oh I misread it I was sure it was cloning..
It's still quite good though for a first expansion card..

All the primes are bonkers. The three that I want to play with the most.
Another stab at Galvadon; seeking advice.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

New Neutral Minion - Blistering Rot
Might see play in Token Druid, but without the option to snowball this card seems rather weak.
New Neutral Minion - Waste Warden
Interesting tech card, that will always become relevant when murlocs or demons run havoc. This card might be a good way to counter DH on the first days of the new expansion.
New Warrior Minion - Imprisoned Gan'arg
Decent arena card, probably not that good in standard. If you want to equip a weapon on turn 3, why not just run Fiery War Axe instead of this minion?
New Warrior Spell - Sword and Board
Decent card that can be used to counter early aggression like Flame Imp or Battlefiend. Not sure if Control Warrior needs such a cheap removal though.
New Warrior Minion - Bonechewer Raider
This card is comparable to Goboglide Tech, which saw play in Mech Paladin. Bonechewer Raider could see play in Tempo Warrior. Since the Bettlecry can also be triggerd by damaged enemy minions, it might be not too difficult to play this as 4/4.

Just Maiev Shadowsong
I will craft her anyways but will be happier if i can get her golden from packs.
New Warrior Spell - Corsair Cache
Compared to Upgrade!, you only have to pay 1 additional mana to tutor a weapon. That's great value. Besides Pirate Warrior, this might also fit into Control Warrior to draw Bulwark of Azzinoth.
New Warrior Minion - Scrap Golem
This card would be nice if there would still be magnetize minions in standard. But without this mechanic, it is rather weak.
New Warrior Minion - Bloodboil Brute
A nice card for Tempo Warrior. Since the cost of this minion is also reduced by the opponents minions, it might be rather easy to play this minion on turn 4 or 5, which is a strong tempo play.
If the Warrior finds a Witchy Lackey, this card can create similar tempo swings as Mogu Fleshshaper.
New Warrior Spell - Bladestorm
This card seems way too situational to be worth running it. Warpath was way stronger than this card in my opinion.
New Warlock Spell - Unstable Felbolt
Good early game removal, espacially if the Warlock doesn't control any minions. Rather bad in the late game though, but Warlock has Plague of Flames to control the board in later turns.
