There could be a lot of reasons people don't like a card. It is best summed up as "unfun". People hated mind control and that card got nerfed despite the fact that priest was very weak at the time. It was changed because of the way people felt about the card rather than how good the card is. I know I despised mind control, even though I beat priest most of the time at that time in the game.
example: Syvlvanas is such a strong card that people get pissy when your opponent gets to play 2
You didn't include the fact that it's happening in 5 minutes
edit:
or you did
It's just not conspicuousPeople run Entomb because there isn't much else to play, especially with Sylvanas Gone Wild.

helps them be shit
PCGamer with a great rundown for anyone who missed the live stream: www.pcgamer.com/first-cards-and-rel...hearthstones-one-night-in-karazhan-adventure/
It trades evenly or favorably with every 2 drop in the game, EVEN Totem Golem and Millhouse.
Not to mention that every part of that card is a Beast and it takes both hits of the War Axe to clear.
Even if it may not see play, I hate card designs like these.

That seems...lazy. So basically all the classes not shown will be getting portal cards

May contain jokes =>
Card cycles are pretty common in most card games.

well aggro druid making a comeback
Is that confirmed? I was about to point out the site implies there is more than 1 portal card.
that seem crazy good for 7 mana
I feel like it's biggest potential is if you have one specific card you want to pull. Like, using it in a combo deck to get Malygos in your hand or something.
The fact that it has taunt maybe escapes the "expensive card that does nothing the turn it's played" problem Hearthstone has. Honestly, they might as well give every over-costed card with an effect like that taunt.
I think they said there are other class Portal cards similar to how we had Forbidden cards in Old Gods.
Mage Forbidden card in Old Gods did direct damage like most Mage spells... Warlock card summoned 1/1s. Add 2 and 2 together....
I'm going to enjoy the Mage portal in arena.
Since it's common, is basically like a Fire Elemental or North Sea Kraken - except probably better on average.
No thanks to Super Imp-losion.

Playing it with Warrior gives you Azure Drake / Alexstraza and a 3/4 Monkey. Paladin gives you Azure Drake / Ysera and a Murloc Knight?

Well here are my initial thoughts.
Enchanted Raven - Seems really good to me. I have to imagine most Druid decks will play it. Turn 1 Enchanted Raven into turn 2 Mark of Y'Shaarj could be game winning in a lot of instances.
Kindly Grandmother - Insane card, probably goes in every Hunter deck I'd imagine. Makes it even more insane that your opponent has to commit to killing it or risking it being buffed by Houndmaster.
Barnes - Not really sure how to evaluate this card. Most likely the 1/1 will be inconsequential but it's 4/5 stats spread across two bodies with the 1/1 potentially having a strong effect. This is the wild card of what was shown so far.
Ethereal Peddler - I think people might be underestimating this card. Undercity Huckster is already a card that sees a decent amount of play and Burgle isn't all that bad either. 2 mana cost reduction is no joke and the stats for the cost are good. This card has insane potential, especially looking forward to future sets where Rogue will likely get more cards that behave like Huckster and Burgle.
Ivory Knight - Meh. Paladin already has a lot of good healing options and the stats are really bad. I think you'd probably even opt for Guardian of Kings over this.
Firelands Portal - Seems really good. It's essentially 5 damage for 2 mana when you factor in the cost of the minion which is nuts. I'm just not sure if 7 mana is too cost prohibitive.
The Curator - Awkward but could be strong? Hard to say. My first thought is some kind of Beast/Dragon Hunter hybrid since Dragon Hunter has been experimented with in the past. Is it worth building just for one card though? Probably not, but who knows.

I feel like they've acknowledged those archetypes sucked and are focusing entirely on Discover.
