So here are a few overhyped cards that, in my opinion, will fail the battlefield test. Feel free to disagree, but expect to be proven wrong in the next two months
Archbishop Benedictus : Get a 2.5 mana overcosted body, then have 20 cards that do not synergize with your own ones to your deck. Weak body for a non-decisive effect
Forge of Souls : draw two cards that don't necessarily synergize with each other, provided you don't draw this cards late in the game. Battle Rage seems better
Blood Razor : coolthings notwhitstanding, 4 mana for a slightly improved 3/2 weapon is overcosted. The card competes with Fiery War Axe and Gorehowl for a slot
Prince Valanar: a 4/4 lifesteal taunt for 4 could be very good, but it would be just decent for 5 mana. Playing no other 4 drop is a huge cost for a 1 mana discount
Scourgelord Garrosh : Control warrior relies on clearing the board with weapons, clearing minion with weapons relies on using the Armor Up! hero power to cope with face damage. Loosing this ability, and having to plan for your deck to be viable both BEFORE and AFTER you change hero power by playing the deathknight, this is an underestimated challenge. Time will tell, but IMHO there are other end game cards that are more powerfull and/or more reliable than this one
Corpsetaker : 3/3 for 4 sucks. 3/3 for 4 with afew keywords is nothing worth building your deck aound
Righteous Protector : 1/1 tend to do 1 dmg everytime they attack unless you buff them. IMHO this card is worse than Lost in the Jungle in control paladin due to the adapting dinosaur, so it is a card that gets cool stats but is pigeonholed in a class that can't leverage it for now. It would have been a top tier card for warlock, druid or warrior. But it is not strong enough to make agro paladin a thing.
Prince Keleseth : you have 7/30 chances get a strong advantage on turn 2 ... and 23/30 chances to fight an uphill battle. Your turn 2 drop is precious, Vicious Fledgling will gladly eat your ass if you discount him.
Arfus : Getting a 2 mana discounted card for 4 mana (and incidently a 2/2 body) doesn't give me a hard on. Nevertheless, I don't really worry about seeing my man card revoked because of that.
[card]Fallen Sun Cleric[/card] : Shattered Sun Cleric is not viable in constructed. This card is weaker as it is pingable AND requires you to play a 1-drop on turn 1 if you want to play it on curve. Let that shit to StanCifka
Ultimate Infestation : OK, I take more risks on this one. I may even be wrong. For 10 mana, this gives you big value. Methinks that I want more than "big value" for 10 mana in constructed. In Constructed, for this amount of mana, I want a win condition. Ultimate Infestation is not a win condition. The card might be playable in some specific decks, such as a version of Jade druid with no auctionners, since it allows you do dig your deck real fast. But UI will let you with your dick in your hand against an Exodia deck, a Hadronox or N'Zoth deck, a Freeze mage, ... . This card is an overpowered 6 mana card that costs 10. This is an arena dream come true. In constructed, I expect EVEN more of a 10 mana card. The card will be played, but IMHO not in "value druid" decks. Will "Jade Infestation" be a newdruid achetype ?
I'm confused at what you mean by "overhyped". I have heard no one say any of these cards will be good other than Infestation, Corpsetaker (but way back before they didn't reveal many lifesteal minions) and Blood Razor. I mean Fallen Sun Cleric "overhyped"?
interesting list, you're wrong about Righteous protector though. I believe you're also wrong about Bloodrazor, and probably Garrosh. Arcane giant's warrior here I come!

Wut. Righteous Protector will be in every paladin in existence except control. And what do you mean "to make aggro paladin a thing"? It's already a thing! Quite a strong thing. This just makes it so much stronger. And with Corpsetaker, you talk like it's some big deal to build your deck around it. In Paladin it will very often receive all keywords but Windfury because of Burnbristle and maybe 1 additional lifesteal minion. So it heals you for 3-6 and forces your opponent to trade into it twice. Both of these cards are insane and will see play, so expect to be proven wrong in the next few months.
Also, few people are saying that the princes or Benedictus will be good. They are widely regarded as terrible, so saying they're overhyped makes no sense.
I think he is right with Garrosh. Having two completely different hero powers in one game is a problem for control warrior. Those who played quest warrior surely remember that they lost many games just because they switched their armor hero power to 8 rng dmg one. Also one of warriors best removals becomes a dead card without armor.
Corpse taker is an extremely powerful anti aggro tool. It's tier 0 in midrange paladin in a meta where there are a lot of token or all in aggro decks. Obvious it sucks in a slower meta but that's not what people are expecting clearly...
Not all cards are overhyped, they are just bad. I disagree with you about corpsetaker. I paladin you just have to have tirion or the 3 mana legend (forgot the name) and it already has value. In Shaman same thing with the Windlord legend. I think it wont be necessary to build a deck around it as long as you give it at least 2 keywords.
I agree ultimate infestation is not a win condition, however it is a good card to play in lots of situations. I myself will use it in a quest deck and play it after I have played Barnabus the Stomper and hope for 5 minions to draw, lol.
this list is kinda messed up, Fallen Sun Cleric, really? its a good card, if you're someone with a small collection it is worth to put in you deck but is not much better than that, this is not saying it is overhyped, is just ok (have a wonderful art tho). and among others you mention 2 of the princes, lol.
Archbishop Benedictus : Get a 2.5 mana overcosted body, then have 20 cards that do not synergize with your own ones to your deck. Weak body for a non-decisive effect
I think that your wrong on this card for the most part. Priest now can build around the best meta decks and what they have. Then compliment their deck based on these cards that are going to be infused with it.
I agree with alot of what you are saying (especially Garrosh), but I think you might be evaluating Righteous Protector wrong when you write it off as an aggro pally card. It's a one drop which actually competes against aggro openers, protects doomsayer and synergizes insanely well with Tarim AND Spikeridge. Plus is Bonemare turns out to be good as people think and makes the cut in Control Pally than this unassuming 1-drop gets even better. Also, while i wholeheartedly agree the corpsetaker is not worth building around, I think it's a fine one drop in any deck which would already be running Divine Shield, Taunt and Lifesteal (Control pally only, basically) Plus the DS snergizes with Rallying Blade for both of those cards so...I just don't see how at least one of those two doesn't see HEAVY play in paladin. Also none of the Princes are overhyped when the majority of the community sees them as unplayable jokes.
Righteous Protector is insanely powerful, denies a lot of turn 1 plays from your opponent. Regardless of what deck you play, I think it will be included. Most of your other cards you listed are not "hyped." A lot of them are regarded as okay, which I think is fair.
I am in the same boat with you in regards to Ultimate Infestation. Maybe I just lack imagination, but in normal cases, this card just doesn't seem to make the cut.
Late game wise, you can bet your ass most of your targets will be above five health, and if the game has lasted this long, you really don't want to fatigue yourself by drawing five cards; if you really need card draws in jade druid then just plain old nourish would do fine since with the release of Skulking Geist you will want to materialize your jades as fast as possible.
Other than that, five armor and 5/5 guy is alright.
Again, this is just my opinion. I am most likely going to be wrong.
First, I definitely think that http://www.hearthpwn.com/news/3251-stancifkas-top-10-cards-to-watch-out-for-in is an absolute pile of crap. Legend players are not legend theorycrafters, and the ADA-quota-respecting guy that wrote it proves the point

Princes are most hated cards and you sayu that they are overhyped?

The OP doesn't appear to know what the word "hype" means.
Classic AssumedNewb post.
be kind and considerate
7 of the 10 cards of my list are in HeartPwn's featured "10 fantastic cards from KFT" frontpage article

need take time to make new pic and signature using the new cards.
Righteous Protector isn't for aggro it's for Midrange, Control and Quest to either protect your board or your face

Idk why but I can't shake this feeling that Keleseth will be a staple of some kind of deck, that or straight up pull a Reno and be everywhere....
Gonna have to agree on Arfus, would it have killed them to make it at least a 3/3?, legendary minions should feel - well - legendary?

When the weak court death, they find it.
You should probably rename this. "Overhyped" isn't how I'd describe cards like Archbishop Benedictus or Forge of Souls.
