New Cards
Call of the Wild
Lots are talking about this as a replacement for Dr. Boom for control (midrange) hunters.

Being lovingly called Dr. 8.

Mixed responses. Some say auto-include and run 2, and others say 1 at the most.

Always Huffer (first), Leokk the second and Misha the third. (https://twitter.com/PlayHearthstone/status/717784748094042112)

And keep in mind, that all other friendly minions already on the board, get +1 attack because of Leokk.
Spreading Madness
Being called, Patron Warlock

Use with Grim Patron, Eggs, corrupted Hogger, Imp Gang Boss, and Floating Watcher (Wild)

Mad Bomber, Madder Bomber, Spreading Madness = Madness Deck

Quote from Hearthpwn Forums: “When Mad Bomber and Madder Bomber create a spell.”

Chance of hitting yourself 9 times when no minions are on the board? Chance of hitting yourself 9 times with a singe 9 health minion on the board? Chance of missing the ONLY 1 health minion on the board?
Cho’Gall
Lots of disappointment around this card. One the biggest complaints is not enough good Warlock cards to combo with. Really the only two good ones are Siphon Soul and Doom! Quote from Hearthpwn Forums: “Cho’Gall > DOOM!, the ultimate life tap.”

Could work with Nefarian and Rafaam.
Possessed Villager
Replacement for Haunted Creeper in Zoo decks.

Combo with Knife Juggler? Turn 1 this, Turn 2, KJ and kill PV.
Wisps of the Old Gods
A worse version of Dark Whispers

100 dust
Soggoth the Slitherer
Not a lot think it’s going to be viable in constructed. Arena maybe.

Weak to silence

The Black Knight comes back?
Thistle Tea
Quote from Hearthpwn Forums: “That teacup is too expensive. It must be from Starbucks.”

Quote from Hearthpwn Forums: “Win big or fall flat. It’s a bit too costly”

Will be an interesting addition to Mill Rogue.

OR even Malygos Rogue or Reno Jackson?

Oh and I think some might not like the RNGness of it. I do.
Twilight Summoner
Quote from Hearthpwn Forums: “If Unearthed Raptor had a favorite food…”

Deathrattle Rogue, Warrior deck (with enablers), Ramp Druid or N’Zoth deck.

Susceptible to silence

A replacement for the Nerubian Egg?

Turn 7, play this and void Terror. Get you a 4/4 and a 5/5 on the board.
Embrace the Shadow
Combo with Corrupted Healbot or Circle of Healing

If running this card you need to run with heals that can target your opponent or opponent’s minions.

Flash Heal is powerful with this.

Combo Priest

Quote from Hearthpwn Forums: “In combo priest Auchenai Soulpriest definitely isn’t better, Auchenai Soulpriest requires a setup, whereas Embrace the Shadow can just be played on the same turn you drop Prophet Velen and your Flash Heal. It’s way less risky and will most likely bring combo priest back.”
Deathwing, Dragonlord
Supersized fries for Unearthed Raptor

Quote from Hearthpwn Forums: “Dragons you’d want to summon this way: Ysera, Deathwing, Chromaggus, Malygos, Coldarra Drake, Volcanic Drake, Hungry Dragon,
