It's got to be Sir Finley of the Sands. Very excited to see what kind of highlander paladin decks can take advantage of the upgraded hero power (particularly in Wild). Though I have to say, I'm also excited for all the plague cards since they have such sick animations.
My favorite card so far is High Priest Amet. I think it is a really interesting ability that allows for tons of different synergy. Although it allows for various synergies (most notably the already discovered OTK strategy), I am most interested in trying to make a viable Star Aligner combo deck.
Priest is probably my favorite class in terms of flavor, so I love when Priest gets diversity in its playable decks. I can't wait to see what other support cards Priest will get in this expansion to make Star Aligner Priest viable.
Also, how cool would it be for Madame Lazul to literally align the stars when telling your fortune?!
Favorite card so far is Wild Bloodstinger, im not an hunter player myself but i think this card is super strong, excellent stat line and the chance of not killing the minion that it pulls out is like less than 10%, overall a better Dirty Rat imo, would've loved to see this card in classes that i play.
This is bonkers. 2/2 weapon is much better than a 1/4 body for the same cost and doesn't require a combo. Sure, it can't be abused with spirit of the shark but EVIL miscreant didn't need it to be the best card of its set. There are also weapon upgrade options like greenskin and upgrade that might see play in combination with wrenchcalliber
Warrior can't use lackeys as well as rogue (don't need combo enablers, no shark and their own Heistbaron/EVIL recruiter hasn't been printed/revealed yet) but they're so good that it's hard not to find some general use for them. The only other concern is that 2 attack isn't so good in the current meta outside of vs mage (1 and 3 are currently the most relevant breakpoints)
I expect to see this in at least bomb warrior or for an aggressive variant to branch off. Bomb warrior is always looking out for good earlygame cards to make their curve more consistent. The 3s are getting a bit crowded now, but too many good cards to choose from has never been a bad thing
Hard for me to choose a favorite, but I'm quite fond of Mogu Cultist for a couple reasons. First, I like that it has so much flavor and significance while not being a Legendary. It seems Legendaries tend to hog the spotlight a lot of the time in terms of both significant characters and effects. That makes sense a lot of the time, but I'm happy to see an epic that I'm going to want to get as much as any Legendary. The little story packed into the effects is great-- the cultists performing some sort of ritual and possibly sacrificing themselves to summon the great titanic keeper Ra-- and I love the challenge of trying to figure out how to spring the combo. It's like a unofficual neutral quest in a sense, which I think is great. I love the strategic elements of games like this, so I'm looking forwards to experimenting with as many classes as I can to see what will work and what won't, a sort of Hearthstone pet project I suppose.
My favorite card so far, is the latest revealed one, Livewire Lance. Lackeys have been a great addition to Hearthstone, and with the pool increasing adding more fun lackeys to your hand seems amazing!
You can even go beyond 38 damage if both Scarlet Webweaver reduce a combo piece, and having an additional Hunting Party thanks to Zul'jin, against warrior for example.
My favorite so far is definitely Elise the Enightened. It enables so many new and unique combos for the Malygos Heal Druid deck I already have built. Overflow comes in as a close second though- will be nice to find all of my combo pieces and Lucentbark much faster. Excited for all of the combo support Druid’s getting in this set
Because I think that taunt warrior was healthy way of playing control warrior, and if blizzard are pushing this mechanic it might be alternative to type of warrior deck's that we see now. Also Stonehill Defender was strong card while was in standard, but one that doesn't feel like your opponent made something OP when they played it. (Of course when Sunkeeper Tarim was pulled it was annoying, but blame tarim on that not stonehill). This card is similar obviously, but also slightly different (stats, cost, warrior tag) so i'm curious if it is good, my prediction is that it is, and in a healthy way.
ALSO!! IT'S SHAGGY FROM SCOOBY DOO!
C'mon, that's funny and when you look at card, you can hear him say: ZOINKS!! :D
It's been more than a year since I've been able to play a value/board oriented Priest deck in Standard. Psychopomp seems to pack so much value and tempo in one card that my hopes for a strong non-combo Priest deck are really high.
Elise the Enlightened because I can't begin to imagine all of the crazy combos she enables, plus I think it will be an interesting challenge to try to make highlander druid work in both standard and wild. I also really like that she can be useful in different types of highlander decks, and not just malygos (highlander) druid for example.

EVIL Recruiter is the best, mostly because I love Zoo :D
Saviors of Uldum - 5 Pack Bundles Giveaway
My favorite card so far is definetely Raid the Sky Temple
I love these sort of card generation effects, and I sure will love to have a deck built around it!
Blast opponents with random spells and laughing as I get something useless off of it will be a lot of fun!
Needless to say, Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron is second of my favorites

Plague of Murlocs. I love Shaman and hate big priest.

I like Hack the System because aggressive pirate package is fun to play with, especially in wild.

Definitely Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron! I LOVE Yogg and can't wait to build a deck full of random spell casting in wild!

Excited for High Priest Amet! Wild zoo WILL be a thing!
Secret OTK Hunter
Brilliant!
You can even go beyond 38 damage if both Scarlet Webweaver reduce a combo piece, and having an additional Hunting Party thanks to Zul'jin, against warrior for example.
Another way to push for 5 free damage is to play 4 The Beast, your last Scarlet Webweaver then Tundra Rhino.

Orange combo with Shiv does:
