I think Mecha'thun Rogue will be the strongest new archetype (with Anka, the Buried obviously). With its ability to slaughter Control Warrior it will be the bane of the new meta. If they don't nerf or rotate Divine Spirit, then OTK Priest with Stonetusk Boar and High Priest Amet will be right there next to Mecha'thun Rogue.
Most new archetypes, while fun, won't be able to stand up to Control Warrior and Conjurer Mage -- but they might be able to rush down the combo decks above and therefore have a place in the meta.
Other than combo decks, the best "new" archetypes will be Aggro Shaman, and some variety of Quest Shaman. Aggro (!) Quest Priest, Lackey Zoolock, Freeze Mage, Quest Rogue, and Secrets Mage will be ok too.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to try a lot of other decktypes in case I'm wrong -- highlander decks, Heal/2TK Druid, Quest Hunter, Quest Paladin, Deathrattle Rogue, Tempo Taunt-Combo Shaman, Watcher-Lock, Tempo Enrage Warrior, and more. As long as I can get the cards for them.
But I don't really think any highlander decks (in Standard), any sort of Druid or Hunter or Paladin, Reborn Priest, Deathrattle Rogue, Quest Warlock, or Taunt Warrior will really be prevalent in the competitive meta. I may look back on this post and laugh about how wrong I was on some things, but these are my best guesses pre-release.
In terms of power level I think it's a hard quest to activate until late game. Leaving mana sitting around on the board in the first few turns is generally a good way to get roflstamped by aggro. It's also the most specific 'build around' card besides the Paladin. I feel like in standard if there is a functional deck that uses it then it will include the same 28/30 cards every time.
Switching Untapped Potential and Activate the Obelisk and this is my exact thoughts as well. Although the priest and shaman ones look like so much fun to me

You cannot buy individual SoU packs until the expansion launches, this fireside gathering event is only for opening the packs that come with the pre-order.
Cybertech Chip has been the MVP for me. Played on a full board, it refills your hand with mechs of a variety of cost. With the extra cards and the ability to play on curve and go face, it's easy to outclass their production. The dark horse award goes to Faceless Rager which gives you a 5/6 early in the game. Of course, you could always decide to play Warrior and Explore Un'Goro. Here's the deck I used:
Dinotamer Brann
Are we doing (out of context) phrasing ? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Quest Trading - Play A Friend!
I'll do it with you if you need someone
Brann Bronzebeard
Wilder than ever
Sylvanas Windrunner
''I have no time for game!''
Ragnaros the Firelord
''Die Insects!''
Mal'Ganis
This card got me so hyped the moment it was released, and still to this day, I have no regret for this golden craft.
Best demon in the game <3

lackey escapes the new expansion early
I have seen this as well
Siamat
new Dr. 7
lackey escapes the new expansion early
This has happened with previous expansions as well. Some people even had cards in their library that could not be played in a deck.
lackey escapes the new expansion early
It may happen while generating cards after latest patch.
Last expansion I got Zayle, Shadow Cloak as a "random 2 drop" few times.
Which Quest you'd hate to get
Untapped Potential because I hate wasted mana XP

Jade shaman yeah, C'Thun shaman sure, but Jade C'Thun Reno Shaman? :) I'd focus on improving one Tribe. And making it singleton doesn't help.

I'm not into Quests overall, but I don't like Unseal the Vault most.
Which Quest you'd hate to get
It's pretty good in Plot Twist Warlock, but the deck itself isn't :P
Grimm Face Hunter
What are you running atm in place of the hyenas?
Aren't the Fireside Gatherings supposed to let us unpack the SOU cards?
Are you guys opening your packs, or think it would be better to wait to get your free golden legendary(s) from preorder before opening?
Open Your Uldum Packs Early - Attend or Host a Pre-release Party This Weekend

Something about MtG I want to share with you, people.
I like that MTG creators are not afraid of making cards like this.
In Hearthstone lately you can notice that we get good cards but not "too good". For example the new Reno.
Open Your Uldum Packs Early - Attend or Host a Pre-release Party This Weekend
You cannot craft SoU cards until the expansion launches (or D/E anything you open at a fireside gathering).
