General first impression of the full set:

Neutral commons and rares: really strong almost across the board. Like...5/5 Azure Drake at common, ok.

Neutral epics: fairly weak/niche.

Class commons and rares: good, a few duds, but also some cycles that look strong across the board.

Class epics: There's a lot of really good ones unfortunately. Like the 5/5 that deals 5 if you're overloaded. Probably going into just about every shaman deck. All the invoke payoff cards.

Legendaries: Seem...fine--mostly strong but pretty niche so that I won't feel bad if I don't have em. Ones liable to annoy me (If I don't open them) are the Rogue Vilespine Slayer legendary, and maybe Kronx Dragonhoof if I decide that it's core to Galkarond decks. (I think a lot of the Galkarond decks I have planned at the moment don't actually plan to play Galk itself, just use the invoke, so maybe this won't be a big deal). Kronx reminds me of Twin Emp Veklor, and I spent a good year annoyed that I didn't have that card, but also not wanting to craft it because I didn't think C'Thun decks were good enough to invest that much dust.

Really strong neutrals and really strong rare and common neutrals means we'll probably see some class homogenization where decks lean on the same core neutrals. Granted, deck full of mostly neutrals was like...the meta a year or two ago, but it is interesting; I was under the impression they were drifting away from that kind of design.

Lots of important class epics will likely just piss me off. I don't like to go around and craft a ton of class epics (unless I'm sure I'll play the class and the epic a lot). But when there's a lot of important epics this does leave me feeling like there's a lot of archetypes I can't play.
