Preview catchup

Death Knight and Druid previews are up.

Chains of Ice

Interesting. It's sort-of Polymorph for Death Knights with the secondary effect of searching out a disease. With the currently available diseases though it is questionable how much extra tempo gain you will get from this card - currently only Icy Touch and Frost Fever affect the board immediately upon being played, though it will be interesting to see what diseases get printed in Worldbreaker to pair with this card.

Earth and Moon

I've seen this described as the replacement for Moonkin Form, and that might be about as much description as you need. There's a pretty comprehensive list of allies this card will help buff in the main Crypto article, but the thing I like the most about this card is that it buffs two separate types of damage.

Single-element decks can have a really tough time against Silvermoon City (hello Pinprik), and providing your deck contains enough of both damage types you won't necessarily have to worry about Silvermoon as much with this card.

Also it makes Hurricane do a bit more work for its cost...
