The new cards are definitely an interesting bunch and I like the direction the mage class is going. My only concern is with this new ice-themed ally "Popsickle".
He can be seen as a kiruth except, like a regular ally, can attack the hero. As a 2-cost, Popsickle won't be particularly able to ward/kill off other 2 or incoming 3-cost opposing allies so it isn't the safest bet for early board presence. For taking down opposing allies, this is where it's ability would come into play but realistically speaking it won't be much help early or late game.
In terms of early gameplay, the closest time to start freezing allies is Freezing Grip on turn 3 and would then take a total of 2 turns for Popsickle to kill your average 4hp ally. This doesn't seem to viable in my opinion as there could be other options for allies and even bulking allies. Although Popsickle would survive hits from opposing allies, it won't from early gameplay cards like Snare trap, NYM or buffed 2-cost allies (Backstab).
Late gameplay may be more difficult to really utilize Popsickle. For good use you would need Popsickle on the board, untouched, to play Voice of Winter, Suspended animation (good combo IMO), or Forgotten Horror. Sure Popsickle is going to be useful but really how useful? It will only be doing a total of 2 damage to a single ally and if you plan on using early buffing methods to really put a dent in your opposing allies, then you better be playing a stall deck to be able to get the whole Popsickle + Buff + Freeze opposing allies.
Sorry for the semi-long critique but I enjoy the Ice-themed decks and this is something I wouldn't add in my decks unless I am getting rid of Kiruth, who will at least give me another body on board with the help of "Lyth: Kristan's Ridge".
I know buffing him would probably make him a little too strong, but if anything I predict Popsickle will see a rejig. Unless someone would show me how to use it effectively that I have not thought of Still love the other cards and can't wait to see the other spoilers!

Equal to a Brutalis with a minor perk.
Maybe a slight buff is still needed being mage specific card. (All 2 cc cards seem under powered against Warrior's Blade Dancer)
0: Until the end of your turn Popsickle gains +1 attack and attacks target opposing frozen ally if able.
Not a fan of the new “position” based cards. If we’re copying this mechanic from Heathstone, will be adopting the mechanic of determining the position of where we play the cards as well? The concern being SE has some unintuitive logic, which could be extorted if you have the ability to manipulate card positions.
I don’t see much value in this currently. Would be useful if it was:
Disarming Personality - 5cc Mage Ability - Target weapon with X base attack becomes a readied ally with X base attack, health equal to its durability, has no abilities and you control the ally.
Undecided. I think with the 2 turns of being frozen it may need +1 (or more) health. Wait and see on this.
Likely to have its place it some Shadow decks.
Seems quite overpowered. Gaining a 2/3 ally (2 cc worth) and freezing all opposing allies (thus only costing 2cc) with the requirement of an item in the grave. (easily achieved and the item can be resued after the 2/3 ally is killed)
Overall not overwhelmed by the new Mage specific cards. It is good to see some ice themed mage deck support as well as a focus on control over burn.

I agree. I don't think these types of position based mechanics fit well with SE since SRO is already so reliant on positions.. Adding this seems to thematically conflict with SE's foundation
Maybe, but dont forget that Aramia can put this thing in play for free
If you want to use Rejuvenating Ritual to good effect, try out my Witch Doctor Eladwen deck. In fact, a few of these cards would fit very well into that deck I would imagine.
