It is good that you tell us, when you make updates, so we don't always Need to check whether new revealed Cards are added or not. However, i think it would be even more helpful if you could post the Review of the new added Cards as well, so you have to go back to the first page.
Good suggestion. Done!

"To build or destroy...only you decide which joy." - Last Crack
Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
RARE:
Alley Armorsmith Rating 3(Average): He's a bit slow, but large and annoying enough to make several trades or just irritate your opponent. If you're able to buff him, then he just gets ridiculous.
Stolen Goods Rating 5(Terrible): Sadly, this just isn't that good for Arena. You need two things to make it work: A Taunt minion AND it has to be in your hand. I would probably need at least 5+ Taunt minions before I would consider drafting this card (against other poor choices), otherwise it's just dead in your hand.
Trogg Beastrager Rating 3(Average): The buff is nice, but I think he's just fine as a standard 2-drop, regardless of any Beasts in your hand.
COMMON:
Grimestreet Outfitter Rating 2(Good): In a minion-heavy environment, such as Arena, it's likely that you'll be able to buff several minions in your hand. Keep in mind, however, that you're missing out on a more solid two-drop in the hopes of making something else stronger.
Grimestreet Smuggler Rating 3(Average): She has decent stats and it's likely that you will be able to buff something in your hand, but she just seems like a standard minion to me.
Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
RARE:
Grimestreet Enforcer Rating 3(Average): Obviously the Grimy Goons are all about buffing your minions in various ways and this is a pretty cool card. However, if you draw it late in the game it's not going to be nearly as useful. This is why I don't think he ranks quite as good as the Grimestreet Outfitter.

Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
RARE:
Grimestreet Pawnbroker Rating 3(Average): It's hard to count on having this minion and a weapon in your hand at the same time in Arena. It's still a 3/3 for 3 mana, at the very least. If you've drafted several weapons then the value will increase slightly.

I aggre on most of your choices except Grook Fu Master in arena most of the time the opponent is gonna try and remove all your minions taunt or not this isn't really a taunt since it doesn't change your opponent attack order it's a better Windfury Harpy (they just keep trying a winfury with 5 hp..) but it's still not saying much Windfury Harpy sucks.
So I would put him at 5 (Terrible) a 3/5 minion is a 3.5 mana minion you are paying 1.5 mana for the winfury effect on him it isn't a good card.
Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
COMMON:
Hired Gun Rating 3(Average): He's pretty vanilla, but that's alright. He's slightly more threatening than an Ironfur Grizzly, but just as easy to kill.
Worgen Greaser Rating 4(Poor): If you're able to hide him behind a Taunt he certainly becomes more of a problem, but his low Health leaves him really vulnerable. The fact that he can be killed by most two-drops isn't very reassuring.

Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
COMMON:
Blowgill Sniper Rating 4(Poor): He's a decent small minion, but incredibly easy to kill with most hero powers. His usefulness probably stops at being able to ping something for 1 point of damage.

Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
EPIC:
Dirty Rat Rating 4(Poor): I love that he's such a cheap, big Taunt, but in Arena you're really playing roulette with your opponent, hoping that they won't get a huge minion. He will mess with any Battlecry, but he seems more fashioned to a constructed setting.
RARE:
Backroom Bouncer Rating 3(Average): The cost and stats of this minion are fine, even if he doesn't get any bonus. If he's hidden behind a Taunt or if you have a lot of 1/1 minions he could become dangerous very quickly.
Dispatch Kodo Rating 1(Excellent): This is a fantastic card! It's similar to Keeper of the Grove pre-nerf. I guess being a Beast makes up for not having Silence. With all the buffs flying around in this xpac it's not a crazy notion that he could do potentially more damage.

Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
EPIC:
Brass Knuckles Rating 3(Average): We have seen a multitude of cards that give buffs to minions in your hand, but this one seems a little slow and dependent on actually having a minion in order to be worth it.
RARE:
Doppelgangster Rating 2(Good): Not only do I love the name, but this card is really good. It matches combined stats with Silver Hand Knight, which is definitely worth drafting.
Grimestreet Protector Rating 1(Excellent): This card has some amazing value! He's big, he has Taunt, and he protects two other minions. In Arena this card will certain give your minions that fighting edge that they need.
COMMON:
Grimy Gadgeteer Rating 3(Average): Here's another minion that offers a great buff to whatever may be in your hand, but it's going to be easy to kill. If you've already managed to buff this minion with your other thousand Grimy Goon cards, then I would say the value certainly goes up.
Smuggler's Run Rating 3(Average): This feels better than Competitive Spirit, but I'm still not crazy about it. If you draw it in your opening hand, then odds are you will get some value out of it. If you draw it late it's just a disappointment.
Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
EPIC:
Rat Pack Rating 1(Excellent): This is a slightly stronger Haunted Creeper, IMO. He does more damage and could potentially spawn a ridiculous amount of rats due to all the minion buffs clogging up this expansion.

Rating: 1(Excellent), 2(Good), 3(Average), 4(Poor), and 5 (Terrible)
LEGENDARY:
Don Han'Cho Rating 1(Excellent): Here is the boss of buffs and he's not bad at all. He shows up a little late, so you either have to hold something or draw a minion. In Arena that shouldn't be too much of a problem. You can count on getting a 6/6 at the minimum from his ability, as long as you have another minion in your hand.
Knuckles Rating 2(Good): I like this minion, as he's a great way to continue clearing the board and still damage your opponent. If you're able to buff him, then it gets pretty ridiculous.

LEGENDARY:
Madam Goya Rating 4(Poor): She doesn't really work for an Arena deck because you won't have enough large minions to take advantage of her ability (unless your deck is completely unbalanced). She also takes up a large slot herself and odds are she's only going to swap for a small minion and could negate a Battlecry in the process.

EPIC:
Leatherclad Hogleader Rating 3(Average): It's not likely you'll get to trigger his Battlecry, but without it he's still a 6/6 for six mana. I still think he's alright, but I feel like I need something more from an Epic minion.
Volcanic Potion Rating 2(Good): Like Mage really needs another AOE. The only drawback to this spell is that it will damage your own minions. Regardless, in Arena, mass removal like this is cherished.
COMMON:
Abyssal Enforcer Rating 1(Excellent): So this guy has a 6/6 body and a built-in Hellfire that doesn't harm himself. Yes, I'll take three, please. And he's common!
Kabal Chemist Rating 2(Good): All the potions we've seen so far look pretty powerful and I know I wouldn't mind getting a Volcanic Potion from him. Most of the time anything that nets you more cards is usually worth drafting and this is no exception.
Tanaris Hogchopper Rating 3(Average): You probably won't get to trigger his ability unless you play him late in the game. Otherwise he's just a standard minion.

How is Kabal Talonpriest not a 1 on your list? Obviously the best arena card released so far, and it doesn't even get the score a joke weapon gets
3/4 is great, 3/7 is insane
