Either Ragnaros minion, Yshaarj, Ysera, Emperor Thaurissan and several deathrattle minions are also good value with this one. Volazj required that you had the minions on board, or be able to fit in a 6-mana minion on the same turn. This guy is just 4 mana to fish for a really powerful effect.
Seems playable, but unsure of how good, it mostly feels like it could end up in Control Warrior-ish decks, where pulling stuff like Sylvanas is always great, or Malygos OTK: Put only Maly in your deck as a minion, then play 4 mana + spells, fill it with removal. Unsure but it has potential. If it is consistant, could be insane.
I feel like this card might just see play in literally any control deck that runs (high) minions with threat powerauras/deathrattles/any effects that aren't battlecry honestly. In a deck where you run sylv, cairne, rag, ysera, antonidas, tirion or, heck, even velen, this could see play. In the worst case it's still just a split yeti after all, in the best case you just put 2 of a legendary in a deck, with one copy costing (4).

I'm just another one of those. You know, those who do things. Things that need to be done by those that do these things in order to do those things that don't do these things themselves. Has the word 'things' lost meaning to you already?
Comparisons to Herald Volazj are stupid. Some reasons why Herald sucks are that he costs too much to combo his effect properly and that he doesn't fit well into Priest decks. This guy is probably really powerful. Vanilla 4 mana 3/4 + 1/1 is not great but it doesn't suck either and there are chances for ridiculous outcomes. It's more like Tuskarr Totemic but you can affect the chances of getting OP stuff with deckbuilding.
In Wild you can use this and Ancestor's Call in OTK shaman. If you draw Malygos early, you can Ancestor's Call with it. If you draw this before Malygos, you can drop this for the same effect. I've run OTK Malygos with only Emperor Thaurissan and Malygos before so it's definitely possible.
I can actually see this as a useful card, to be honest. So many cards have synergy with this card. Archmage Antonidas, Sylvanas Windrunner, Tirion Fordring, BOTH Ragnaros cards, Brann Bronzebeard, Xaril, Rhonin, Deathwing, Dragonlord...
The 3/4 is worth 3. The 1/1 is probably going to be worth at least 1. But a Sylvanas could be game changing. Seems like it'll be a good card in the right decks.
Yeah, this is nuts in any deathrattle deck and worth building around for control decks. It's at worst a solid tempo play and at best completely game-breaking. I think this will be a staple of the standard format.

[Game] Name another card that has the same...
good for N'Zoth decks
Possibility in N'zoth decks? Maybe.

Decent stats, not too high cost and good synergy with deathrattle minions. It will see some play imo.
Everything is OP.
Actually, I think a Malyos Rogue with Shadowstep and Gang Up could be crazy.
You have to be amazingly optimistic to see this card as good
I don't think you should be considering best case scenarios like rag and emperor.
but consider which decks it readily goes into.
Miracle rogue is the first that comes to mind.
No minion is a bad pull.
Blizzard is obsessed with 1/1 minions...
Looks quite good for control/N'zoth Pally..I mean pulling Doomsayer is like the only bad option I can think of..
Play for joy of game, not for win.
3/4 plus 1/1 is already good , and could be a lot better,nothing especial for a legendary,but is preeeeeetyy good.

And that is just using legendaries
It works in any N'Zoth deck. Rogue N'Zoth could be especially strong.
A card like this would do amazing in some control decks in order to combat the more agressive decks, thus staying alive longer. Ysera, Tirion Fordring, Sylvanas Windrunner, Ragnaros the Firelord, Ragnaros, Lightlord, Cairne Bloodhoof, Baron Geddon, Malygos, Anomalus, Archmage Antonidas, Fandral Staghelm, Brann Bronzebeard, or heck even Majordomo Executus (in some cases) would be nice to get!
In Wild this card would even be more insane.
The 3/4 is worth 3. The 1/1 is probably going to be worth at least 1. But a Sylvanas could be game changing. Seems like it'll be a good card in the right decks.
