Great control card with value generation which gives hope to cards like Princess Talanji. But as far as Galakrond is concerned, I like other versions more.
According to reveal video this card cannot replicate battlecries... and that's all folks. Situationally OP (especially in case of hero cards), but is it worth to put a scrictly worse Tess Greymane into competetive deck? I have my doubts.
Antique Healbot was a solid, playable card. This is so much better on every aspect of the card that I simply can't imagine this will not see play. Autoinclude in every dragon Paladin deck.
If you behind on board this card is useless. This simple fact means this doesn't belong in any meta deck. Otherwise value looks obviously very good, but I don't believe it will be consistent enough.
I like the flavor of "dragonrider" - when her dragon is killed, she just jump on another. There are also many ways how to abuse her deathrattle to create gigantic dragons I look forward to.
At first glance I though it refreshes your mana pool to 10 which will be absolutely insane. Real effect is much less amazing. Fact that your oppent will be the first to fully benefit from 10 mana is huge downside, in spite of that 8/8 body for 4 is still ridiculous.
Can be very good at tempo Mage, condition is easy to accomplish and reward is solid. Also I can smell some shenanigans with Khadgar, Conjurer's Calling a potentially others. Definitevely curious about what meta will do with this card.
Statwise it looks terrible and at cost of 4 mana it's hard to properly utilize that spell power. Only upside is fact that it's a dragon that discovers another dragon, which can be enough for this card to find its way into dragon decks. (Also do you remember Evolved Kobold? We've come a long way since then.)
Inkmaster Solia doesn't see much play, so I have doubts about this. On the other hand this is cheaper, can be used in nonhighlander decks and now we have more expensive spells to use effect properly.
Priest had Dragon Soul which was harder to remove, but Mage has at the moment insane amount of cheap spells (and Sorcerer's Apprentice on top of it), so it can lead to very spectacular turns. I have high hopes towards this card.
This can be crazy and exciting card to play, I like it. There are definitely better and stronger cards in the set, but when I see this at pack opening, I won't be mad.
Outside of token decks unusable, otherwise solid inclusion for token strategies. My main concern is that this expansion has way too many better cards, thus this will probably not see many play.
Token decks don't benefit from this as much as it seems at first glance, so I'm not confident that this card find its place in meta, but we will see. Effect looks strong and we all remember scourge of Prince Keleseth.

For given cost good value, but for standard its too balanced. I don't believe this will make it to the meta.
Lifesteal is (for paladin) meh and stats are not good. Only upside of it is dragon generation, which can be enough to put it in dragon themed decks.

Another cheap spell generator for mage, in direct comparison with Magic Trick is this just ridiculously good.

It's beast, it's removal, it's card draw - overall very good card for Hunter. I believe we see this guy a lot.
Solid replacement of Eaglehorn Bow for dragon decks. If dragons for Hunter prevail (and I hope so), this will be autoinclude.
This plus Unleash the Hounds results in rare Hunter board clear, but I'm afraid that Hunter control archetype doesn't have enough support.

Ancient of War with bonus effect. Some support for treant token decks, but too little, too late. At least nice curve to The Forest's Aid.
