Herald Volazj is hard to analyze. You definitely get your value's worth if you hit just one card with some sort of effect otherwise it's meh at a 6/6 for 6. I actually think it's a decent card that might actually see some play.
Embrace the Shadow is good for what it's trying to do. It's trying to give priests some sort of combo tool or some way of dealing with the board better (Circle of Healing, etc.) I don't think it's terrible given the right deck. I don't know how good that deck is though.
Forbidden Shaping is a good card. It allows you to have a minion on any turn you'd like. That's pretty good for priests who are usually just board control.
Twilight Darkmender It's a good card if you need to heal yourself. It's kind of like what Reno Jackson does except you have a more consistent deck.
Shifting Shade is good. It's ok against aggro, and it's good against control. Compared to Thoughtsteal which would be terrible against aggro. It's good.
Shadow Word: Horror It might not be good now, but when an aggro zoo deck with tons of small minions comes out you'll be glad you have it.
Power Word: Tentacles seems slightly overcosted compared to Velen's Chosen and other buff cards (like Blessing of Kings). Apart from maybe a combo deck or something this card isn't that great since it doesn't have the snowball effect Velen's has early on. I still think it might see some play. Because health buffs in priest have been notoriously good.
Hooded Acolyte The statline alone makes it good. A 3/6 as a priest on turn 4 that you can heal is insane. Pair that up with its ability then a C'Thun deck is looking great. I expect priests to run C'Thun since it just fits their playstyle perfectly. Priests usually always go to the lategame and this just makes their lategame even better.
The webspinners "draw" cards so if it were 3 mana the card would be really overpowered (muster for spiders). Sure it might be slightly overcosted, but it's not as black and white as just looking at stats/mana cost.
Every class has their bad matchups. Is this card going to make you win that matchup as well as help you win all the other matchups? I don't think so.
It could do, not taking that 2 damage every time you hero power and getting useful defensive or removal cards vs Aggro for example. You still keep your neutral cards so you can build around it somewhat.
It could, but there is an overwhelming chance it doesn't work. You're gambling with 8 other classes and their hero powers and then you are also gambling on their cards. There is no guarantee that it will give you what you need. If you don't want the hero power then Sir Finley Mrrgglton does an exceptional job at that since it reduces the randomness and lets you pick the hero power. You might get useful defensive or removal cards, but what were those cards replacing in a deck that needs defensive and removal cards to win?
At first glance I thought this was a decent card sort of like unstable portal. After thinking about it though, it's not just one card. It requires multiple cards to work. If you are putting warlock cards into a deck, it's only going to be the good ones. So this card needs to return on that value and then some. I don't think it can. i still like how the card works though. It's a fun card.
A good Warlock card is not always good vs every class/matchup, same with Warlock hero power.

I like it. Good stats and it basically turns everything into a Holy Fire. It allows you to put more damage spells in a shaman deck that would otherwise use those spots as heals. Could probably work into a C'Thun deck too.
We don't know exactly when. If Kripp stays in the lead, I'd assume Kripp's is going to be today (3/22) and then Forsen's the day after that, and so on.
The value is definitely there. Not sure how good the card would be though. I might throw this in a deck with all the board clears just for fun. The art is really good though.
I would say no. Since we only know a few cards (most of which are quite good though). You still have up to when they announce the date that WOG (wotog? old gods?) is coming out to prepurchase the expansion. That usually comes with a ton of cards being revealed at once. There's no rush unless if you want to use the card back right now.

Darkshire Alchemist is a Chillwind Yeti + Flash Heal. I think it's a good card. A lot of these combination cards have been good in the past.

He's still corrupted. Neltharion looks a lot different.

Toshley 2.0. I think this is a very good card. It also begs the question: will there be any more cards that give you toxin cards?

Looks like they don't want to entirely get rid of aggro in standard this expansion.

There are abominations on Bite, Poison Seeds, Arcane Shot, and Lightning Bolt for those wondering. I still don't quite understand the riddle though.
