This is a weird mix of cards that are clearly bad and I haven't seen anyone excited about, and some of the best cards in the set. It is however, beyond my comprehension how you can fail to see the value in righteous protector and corpsetaker, how long have you been playing hearthstone?
Back in GvG, annoy-o-tron was a card that saw constructed play. Righteous protector is just better. It is cost -1 for -1 health. It combines the early game board control power of argent squire (which is well established) with the late game power of a taunt your opponent has to hit twice (also plenty of experience to prove that is good). And corpsetaker is, for the price of playing wickerflame and at least one chillblade champion in your deck, a better wickerflame, since high stats are more valuable than normal on a minion with all 3 of those keywords (the other two keywords are absolutely no challenge to get, paladin has so many options for them, you could easily be playing 5+ of each).
So much wrong...
You are wrong on Forge of Souls, Blood Razor, Scourgelord Garrosh (you don't even know in what kind of deck it fits), Corpsetaker, Righteous Protector, Prince Keleseth (if zoo becomes viable, you will cry and complain when this guy will be dropped on 2nd turn).
open up a dictionary and look up the word "hype"
Dead but dreaming
I guess I'll be the one to say it... Defile
Yes, it's godlike in the early turns and will have some insane blowouts, but surely will be a bad card in hand quite often, especially against Priest and Taunt walls.
Not saying it's a bad card, just maybe a tad over-hyped is all. Will definitely include in all my controllocks, but I can already see the cry threads of how Defile is so underwhelming and never clears the board the way you want, blah blah.
Trust me, this card isn't going to be the beat-all board clear that people think it is. Basically useless against Druid, Priest, Warrior (control/taunt), Warlock, and you have to get lucky against Shaman and Mage. Rogue and PW I can see this card screwing, but you better draw it early. Paladins it can really screw, just because of their HP, but against control probably won't do much other than snap Divine Shields. God forbid if there are any egg-type minions on the board...
That being said, this card can get REALLY good with spell damage, but not many Warlocks typically run spell damage.
All in all, I think we will see some bonkers YouTube videos of Defile snapping like 10 minions, but I doubt it will be as consistent as people think.

Bloodrazor is extremely strong. Raging ghoul is already one of the best cards in warrior, and to
a) have it with what is effectively charge is completely sick.
b) have double chance of getting whirlwind effect early is completely sick
c) synergizes with both tempo builds and control builds, for cycle, armor gain, removal on its own and to trigger removal from hand.
There is no way it's going to be bad. It might not be broken, but bad? No, that's just a completely clueless claim.
There's more than twenty guys blaming the word 'over-hype' while it seems they do not understand the word.
If something is overly hyped it does not mean that most people hype it. It does not mean that everyone hype it. It doesn't even mean that some people hype it extremely much.
It simply means that it is hyped a little bit too much by a small amount of people.
Gnomeferatu for sure.
But with the confirmation bias shown so far, I think it will be very hard for those who hype it to realize that their hype is unfounded.
Also thinking of Defile.
Could highroll, but is heavily dependent on the board and will more likely be so-so in many situations.
Don't get the Mountainfire Armor hype. It's basically a Jungle Panther with a weaker effect sine you're giving your opponent a choice. I guess the +1 health is nice but how many decks play Jungle Panther to begin with?
Don't get the Uther hype either. Though I'm beginning to come around. I might have underrated how powerful lifesteal is.
Skulking Geist is also severely overrated imo. I dont' think it will see play. Stopping infi Jades only messes with their plan b. It's not a "lights out" moment the way Eather of Secrets (or even a timely Ooze) is.
Mountainfire Armor gives opposing midrange decks a Cornelian choice : they must either let you trade up (which will speed up the turn where they loose the board against control) OR give you 6 armor (which while put you out of their damage range). Not to mention the possibilities of misplays agaisnt cards such as Commanding Shout
A few life may be irrelevant (such as those granted by the 3/2 lifesteal charger), but Uther will get you at least 5 armor and 12 live (+removal and an improved hero power). 17 life is powerfull, even in control matchup as it will allow you to face attack big minions with your weapons.
Blood Razor will definitely see play, I was messing around with it today when I realized that if you have a Blood Razor and Fiery Waraxe in your hand you can trigger a 2 damage board wipe, it's surprisingly relevant synergy. Also I think the pure number of Whirlwind effects makes Sleep with the Fishes an absurdly strong card, so you can't really look at the weapon itself in a vacuum.
This entire list is made up of cards that either aren't being hyped at all (Prince Valanar, really?) or are so obviously good that OP will soon be eating his words.

Some of the cards you listed are not hyped because of their powerlevel, but because of their fun factor. I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who thought that [card]Archbishop Benedictus [/card] was actually going to be used in a top tier deck.
