Kibler said he talked to one of the designers, the designer said that they did the preview at blizzcon with all the random cards because those were the fun ones that would would enjoy looking at and talking about.

Good post.
"No card art because there is card art at the top of this very page."
I always find it sufficient to mouse-over the card to see art & text. On that note, Enhance-o-Mechano & Gnomish Experimenter did not display pics when ouse-over'd.
"Another way to think of it is that putting it on a Yeti means it'll kill all 5 drops and every 6 drop barring Yeti while surviving and will trade with an Ogre if they fight twice, the Yeti being a 6/9."
The second 'Yeti' there should read 'Ogre'.

I've no comment on the rankings here. I just observe that silence-effects are probably more valuable now than before, so if people pick up on this and start valuing silence higher, perhaps a few deathrattle-effect cards lose value a bit?
Mages will remain top-played arena class now, even if any addition of cards 'dilute' the chance of getting flamestrike & fireballs...

Not really a huge fan of the steampunk mech theme, but hope it plays better than I epect (lots of situational/random cards in the reveals)

The current front page of Hearthpwn, in addition to having an interesting developer review, says we will be getting a previewed card every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, no word on if today counts though (As it is a Monday.)

In addition, you can vote on if you want to see a Goblin card or a Gnome card each time. I voted to unleash Goblin fury.

Wow, this has to be one of the best arena decks I've ever seen. If it doesn't go 12 wins it'll be a disappointment.

Pretty well suited to counter mage, so it'll probably go very far (at least for me, most of the games on a lot of wins are against mages). I'd be a bit worried about a powerful druid deck as an opponent, since you don't have that many good ways to deal with big minions spam (like turn 7: ancient of war; turn 8 - 10: ironbarks; I've seen it happen!). Good luck!
By the way, since we are bragging (aren't we??), my last 2 arena runs have gone to 12 wins.  Still no 12 - 0 for me, though. 
Both decks were mages. It's funny, if my average wins in arena is 6, that's probably 9 when I'm playing mage and 3 with all the other classes. 
In one of the runs, I had 2 games where the follwoing happened: I opened up with coined Amani Berserker. Opponent plays Mad Bomber, hits Amani only 1 time. I play Crazed Alchemist, for a 2/5 Amani and kill the Bomber for free, ending up with a 5/2 and a 2/2 on board. Easy win from there.
