Isn't it obvious? It's Dozing Marksman, as his flavour text suggests.
But in all honesty I think there are many cards with great potential and we can't really decide which will be the most played one, until we actually test them and compare the power levels of the decks they are used in. I personally think, that Gurubashi Offering is one of the underrated cards. I am not saying it's 5 stars or anything, but I just think people are downgrading it due to its effect not being an immediate one. I think, that we can easily play it on turn 1, behind a taunt or after a clear and we will get the health bonus. But even if someone decides to throw a charger at it, it would act as a soft taunt.
and then you gain.. 8 armor and lose the minion too.. that card is horrendously bad 0/2 taunt for 1 is also terrible
Yeah, so? Think of it as a neutral spell that grants you armour, but has a delayed effect (and it's counterable).
I think that in some control decks (e.g. warlock) the 8 health gain might be very attractive. You won't play this minion on the board, when it can be easily traded off, you play it when a) the opponent doesn't have a board and is obligated to use a spell or a silence and b) when you have a taunt/a bunch of taunts, which the opponent can't get through. I think that the 1-mana cost makes it easy for us to squeeze it after a board clear. If the opponent uses an answer other than a silence - let's say zoolock - then this minion can save us 5 health (Doomguard), 6 health (Leeroy Jenkins) or 4 (Soulfire), which is still nice.
The only deck, which I consider it will act as a true counter to this card, is odd rogue and their 2-attack weapon. I won't be able to play the offering after a board clear and w/o a taunt, but on turn 1, if they decide to coin into their HP and give up tempo, then the outcome is still good.
The offering could have been stronger as a 0-cost minion (and 6 armour gain to compensate the effect), it could have been broken as a deathrattle minion and useless, if the deathrattle triggered only on the opponent's turn. It's not great, but it has some potential.
Half-Time Scavenger is going to be really obnoxious in a combo priest because it is a 5-health permanent stealth minion. They can just sit it on the field in a lot of matchups while power-drawing until they can assemble an OTK using Power Word: Shield + Divine Spirit + Inner Fire using shadow visions, while relying on Mass Dispel to clear taunts. It won't impact the meta, but it is an EXTREMELY cheap deck that kills you quickly.

That card is a worse Goldshire Footman and Iron Hide. It is HOT GARBAGE.
Despite talking trash about it earlier in the whizbang thread, I think Gonk, the Raptor has a lot of potential. Druid will really lack removal after rotation, and this seems like a decent tool. The key is to not build your deck around it. I think it'll see play alongside Spirit of the Raptor in Midrange Odd Druid at some point.
Another interesting card imo is Ice Cream Peddler. Probably a pipe dream, but if I had the dust I'd love to try A control-ish freeze shaman that uses Moorabi and co. for value. Add the Elemental package and you could have a cool anti-aggro deck akin to Rush Warrior.
I think Ice Cream Peddler is trash, and yet I'm interested in being proven wrong. Will be experimenting with my dusty, but not yet dusted, Moorabi for sure.
I actually think that Hakkar, the Soulflayer is going to be really scary in several decks. It can act as a win condition in quest priest, mill druid, and control warrior, while preventing opponents from freely drawing through their entire deck. In particular, I see it fitting into decks with Da Undatakah and infinite deathrattle generators like Astral Tiger, Direhorn Hatchling, and Immortal Prelate. You can keep shuffling copies of Corrupted Blood into both decks while also adding minions to yours to create an incremental advantage. Best of all, druid, warrior and paladin have strong armor/healing tools, as well as control tools.
I actually think Mosh'Ogg Announcer might find its way into aggro decks. It's difficult to trade into, has aggressive stats, and can, with the blessing of RNGesus, take out two of your opponents' minions without breaking a sweat.
Can't believe no one has mentioned Blood Troll Sapper. Everyone is sleeping on it cause the stats are bad for the cost, but I can see people playing Zoolock with deathrattle cards like Scarab Egg and Mecharoo to get tons of death triggers. It might even be worth including Defile for a big damage combo.
Hakkar, the Soulflayer has crazy potential. Say bye bye to losing to mechathun decks, and it's far too unbelievable that anyone will keep Prince Liam or Skulking Geist just to play around it, considering how late game Hakkar will be used.

Just do yourself a favor and run Doomsayer ffs.
inb4 I do. I am planning to replace the beetles with this, if I see more aggressive decks. If I don't - I will stick with the Gnomeferatus.

care to share your rank?
Look, dudes, I just put two and two together. I have explained my thoughts throughout several posts on this thread and I don't want to spam any further (I don't want to repeat them constantly). I'm aware of the play-style of my control warlock and this should fit nicely there.
As I said in those posts - I see the risks, but I am willing to take them. If you don't agree with me, then ok, just wait a few days and we will all see how the Rasthakan experience truly is. If I am mistaken, you can rub it in my face.
Inb4 I remember how people were praising Chameleos back in WW and I was one of the few, who didn't see it as a good card. It turned out to be somewhat useful in Spiteful priest, but that deck was replaced by the druid equivalent, and control priest can't support this legendary atm. As I said in the first post, I am not saying the offering is 5 stars or anything - just an underrated card.
Warlock new troll champion is gonna push controlock to tier 1. Forget the discolock. Her alone with the other discard cards from RR will give controlock tools that kill aggro as it always does well but gives it some fuel for longer control matchups
Most of the comments mentioned best-voted cards as a sleeper.
Do you really know what sleeper is ?
I think it will be Wartbringer, not sure but miracle shaman can rise.

Dozing Marksman, so obvious.
To anyone who thinks treant druid is weak, watch me beat up a deck that is/was around tier one. https://hsreplay.net/replay/jwiF3LRTDjSCUNhTpjEEWo
Treespeaker will just cement this deck into higher winrates.

I think [card]Regenerate[\card] could be a thing in wild for an Auchenai-Priest-type.
Many cheap healing spells now.
