Kibler just did a video on this, and IIRC he basically said:
Priest: highly likely to be viable
Hunter/Shaman: will probably never be viable, spending turn 1 on the quest is just too big of a cost for the aggressive decks you need for the Quest
Mage: very close to viable already, and he doesn't want to see it get better because of how uninteractive it is (bad for the game)
Paladin: needs more low cost sticky minions for buff targets as well as card draw, actually enough buff spells already
Warlock: needs card generation and survivability tools (argument is based on the idea that it will only ever work in control decks due to the turn 1 opportunity cost)
So he's higher on Warlock and Paladin than you, but lower on shaman. He didn't really talk about Warrior or Rogue IIRC.
E: here it is
The Hunter deathrattle discount card has nice synergy with Build-a-Beast, and gives you your mana back from the hero power you expended to "draw" the card if you're able to get a deathrattle on the built beast.
I'm hyped to see the rogue hero but goddamnit why are they leaving the ones I'm most interested in for last! This minor irritation shall not stand!

Props to Blizzard if their goal for rogue is to build around weapons and buffing them and if that is ultimately a good strategy.
As is its hard to see that being worthwhile. Spending a bunch of cards to buff a weapon is a difficult line to take when hard weapon removal is a constant in HS.
They said Valeera is good. If it's weapon synergy, it needs to be bonkers. Strong immediate effect, death rattle, something. Or maybe the rest of the cards provide synergy less vulnerable to hard removal. Or maybe it has nothing to do with weapons.

translates to: Copy 3 Cards from your Oppenents Deck and put them in your hand.

The hunter DR card seems pretty strong in a slot that is kinda weak. Statline is strong.
When you have a million cards in a game and it's been going on for 10 years you start to repeat a few ideas I think.
I guess Hunter would be cool but I know the class needs a redesign. Maybe Druid?

typical mage arena game.

i ended with archmage antonidas +sorc apprentice + coin + freeze nova + mirror image turn into geomancer + greater arcane missles (8 of the damage hit the suggoth he just dropped), after a strong comeback via double snap on eater of secrets

Does it really have a million cards tho?
I wish they didn't ditch mechanics. Like maybe instead of lame as pseudo reprints they could try more inspire cards or.... I guess that's like the only mechanic they've ditched so far.
Yeah but if it goes HoF you get full dust value and you get to keep the card.
I liked the "evil nourish" comment, except Priest doesn't have innervate. Seems like the Thistle Tea version of Mimic Pod when you compare it to Thoughtsteal.

the game is barely even 4 years old and there's just 1189 collectable cards.
ONE MILLION CARDS
No more, no less.
I was trying to exaggerate a little.
I think they're introducing new mechanics and some cards being similar is okay and almost inevitable.I disagree. I don't think this card is good, but I do think it's a good idea to introduce new cards with similar effects -- not only does it preserve "design space" but it adds consistency to deck archetypes.
Take the much maligned Purify--everyone hated that card but Silence Priest wouldn't have worked without it, because drawing Silences would have been too inconsistent.
Or look at Mimic Pod--it's a rogue staple and if they had decided Thistle Tea was "good enough" for that effect it wouldn't have been printed.

When I first saw it I was thinking you could discover the 3 cards. If its random its like a poor mans nourish.

"I sense a powerful card coming."
Kripp teasing his card reveal later today. (Hopefully soon, since his reveal is getting overhyped [one of the devs called it his favorite card from the expansion on reddit]).

This is in line with the cost of card draw that they established early on.

A Priest card not being as good as a Druid card doesn't mean it isn't great for Priest. This is a 1x of in most Highlander decks, at least.
I suppose the video will appear on his youtube, right?
Kripp's idea of a powerful card is Frost Lich Jaina so....
Most certainly. He loves those YouTube views.
He revealed Hallazeal and similarly hyped it up A LOT prior to the announcement. I don't trust his opinions when it comes to constructed but I am eager to see the card just because of the dev saying it was good. (Pretty sure it was Donais).
This is especially true with the new legendary that copies your deck, lol.
This seems like a card similar to lay on hands. If you play ice barrier, you sort of heal for 8. Seems fairly easy to get three secrets from it so you are drawing three. The advantage is you automatically play them.
Anti synergy with arcanologist though.

I think that card is very weak and it won't see play.
It's not getting run naturally but it will be discovered by glyph or generated randomly
It does dilute the pool of spells so getting g this randomky when you've used your secrets will be very bad.

that card is absolutely terrible. It has anti synergy with one of the strongest mage cards in Arcanologist.

Why would you want all the mage secret at once? There is some strategy for when you play them.
Plus it means you can't run arcanologist

5 steps closer to your burn cards. It also means people will run a wider range of secrets which means they will truly be secret when played from the hand.

You're not picking this off glyph. 8 mana to pull maybe 2 secrets is terrible.
There are better ways to thin your deck imo, which doesn't require including a lot of secrets.

New Priest and Mage spells are bad

You're not putting at least 4 terrible cards into your deck to thin it by potentially less than that amount.
