Obviously there a broken OTK combo somewhere but I am not seeing it, you have to run only 3 minion and have to draw this card before other 2. Even in current Gallery Priest (which is rotating) this card won't see play.
You could always Baleful Banker to put a big minion back into the deck if you draw it first, but then you risk pulling a 1/1/1 banker. I guess that could put Jepetto back to try again later?
Turn 10 you can play this plus the 2 1/1's if that makes a difference.
Better is to have multiple minions with strong effects, the that case it's pretty slow but interesting.
I already can see the Malygos shenanigans this card can enable. OTK decks will get stronger. And I am afraid Malygos will have to eventually exit standard.

I think this is autoinclude in every deck, that heavily relies on battlecries, something like Shudderwock or any rogue deck that wants to play spirit of the shark?
I don't think it's that strong in combo decks because there is high risk that you will draw your combo pieces before playing this card.
This. You want strong Battlecry Minions and this draws you some. Gurubashi Hypemon also wants to be in the deck and does the same.
Reminds me of Barnes and Zerek's Cloning Gallery so that says everything. Highroll card that will enable stupid combo just because you drew it before your combo pieces.
Terribly designed card. Unfun, repetitive and unplayable until this gets barnes-broken is even more unfun because of unfairness.
Do they actually think this card makes the game better / more interesting?
We'll see how this card will work (even The Undatakah was said to be broken and then has seen play in just a couple o tier 4 decks).
For what I can say, T5 learnt that turn 4 cheat big minions is too much, so at least they made this dude an 8 costed: in this way, the risk you'll have to take in order to play him will be a lot higher.
Regardless if you care about Wild or not, this gives Big Priest/Res Priest one more tool to pull off OTK combos as well.
This also allows Standard decks to pull specific minions and greatly reduce their costs, but not their card text.
This is high roll, but has no purpose existing other than to push OTK style decks.
I really hate cards that are obvious and have no business being in 'normal decks'. This is a pure combo card enabler.
Not only is it very good, it could be Meta defining. The people saying how hard this is? We have deck builders who come up with crazy ideas and pull this off all the time. Even if I can see the exact deck list in my head, I know this is going to be oppressive.
This card isn’t that good. 8 mana 6/6 is a huge commitment to a turn and if you can’t kill that next turn or follow with a strong board clear/ heal you’re dead. As much as I love mecha’thun, if you draw Mecha’thun before Joybuzz you lose, so that OTK is a bust. If used with Malygos then it’s the same deal. People are saying togwaggles scheme in rogue, but if any of those people actually played Malygos Rogue, then they would know a rogue combo deck is incredibly weak due to Rogue’s lack of control tools and having survivability, not to mention the Death Knight is rotating out. So it seems this card’s only real application is a non OTK deck and more of a heavy control deck. Maybe big Druid creeps back up. Who knows, but this card is not going to be some ridiculous OTK deck enabler. As for Wild you would never play this card over Barnes. Ever.
Edit: This is coming a from a guy who loves OTK decks. Also I will be very sad if they ever nerf Malygos instead of HOFing it. I could totally see them change Malygos to Battlecry: You have +5 Spell Damage this turn.

very RNG dependant, good for OTK decks like malygos and velen

Yeah cause Freeze Mage Hakarr and Mechathun aren't cards. Someone will use this to it's max potential
Oh good, draw Malygos and Velen. Who needs Radiant Elementals?

Just wrote one of the ways you can use it, never said it was the best one.
About the specific 3 legendaries I guess it would be the same way as you make sure of them with toggwaggle. Myra's Unstable Element
But ye, using Heistmaster Toggwaggle is a much safer option and will only be 2 dead turns.
Any chance Druid could use this with Gloop Sprayer?

I guess they want to make Priest good in the first expansion of the year for once.

A dream card for very tight combo decks
We'll see how this card will work (even The Undatakah was said to be broken and then has seen play in just a couple o tier 4 decks).

But, as I said before,

I think this card will highly increase the power of lackey; especially the one which evolves.

If this card is any good, I am going to hate it.
So bad stupid ugly card that needs to die a fiery death.
Meta-Breaking.
Just another card to enable Malygos OTK bs.
