Wrath is a strictly better darkbomb and is also common, i don't see you complaining about that.

 Both cards are common. Recycle is a Rare, this is common. Name me another case like this.

 Did anyone say Mortal Strike yet? Because mortal strike is rare and fireball is strictly better than it. 

 The case I am making is not that commons are better than rares, its that they have never made a card that is strictly better than another card at a lower rarity later. Mortal Strike is worse, but its not base set, like fireball. So the later card is worse, but rare, this is the first time we've seen a specific card be made better and lower the rarity at the same time.

 

 Seems like an arbitrary distinction. Mortal Strike and Fireball were available at the same time, does it really matter if one's the 'base' set and the other's the 'expert' set? Either way, it's just splitting hairs - there's precedence in the game for something like this happening, as class cards have been strictly better than other class cards before. 

The bottom line is they tried recycle and it didn't work, so it's kind of an irrelevant card anyway. Entomb looks like a card worth playing, that's pretty cool. Not making this card just so they don't offend the druids who aren't running recycle would be silly.

Druid of the Claw is a better Shado-Pan Rider, Keeper of the Grove is a better SI7: Agent. Don't compare class cards, especially if they are from different expansions. You get nowhere

Again Mortal Strike & Fireball

 Again, Fireball is a base set common, Mortal Strike is a Rare. Yes, its a worse card, but the rarity went up. How are you not getting it. The rarity went down in this case which is bad IMO. 

 The rarity went up for Mortal Strike but it went down for Fireball, so it fits your question (e.g. Fireball is a better Mortal Strike and it has lower rarity, Entomb is a better Recycle and it has lower rarity). If you want to take it one step further, Recycle is a card from a previous expansion (hence powercreep with Entomb), while Mortal Strike and Fireball are from the same set.

 Fireball and Mortal Strike aren't from the same set. Fireball is a Basic card, Mortal Strike is Classic. One of those cards you have to acquire the other everyone gets. This is a case, where even when the cards came out together blizzard made the worse card have a higher rarity and therefore occurance/value. This is the opposite of that. While it is true that both of those cards were designed and effectively released at the same time they aren't from the same set. That point isn't valid.

 It's even worse then! You have to acquire a bad card when they give you a better one for free! OMG Blizzard, what have you done!

The more I think about this card, the less I like it. I think it's just too slow and I don't feel it will be played any more than Recycle is right now.

Let's compare this card to our other 6 mana removal, Holy Fire. Holy Fire takes anything out with 5 health or less and restores us for 5. It can also target face and be buffed by +Spell Damage. So, for this card to be included over Holy Fire, the target has to have 6 or more health. Okay, that's not too uncommon.

However, now let's compare this to our other removals, like Shadow Word: Death. Anything with 5 or more attack and this card is far inferior. So the primary targets will likely have 4 attack or less with a lot of health. Anything weaker than what's been pointed out and it wouldn't be worth investing 6 mana to remove and many of the eligible targets could just as easily be taken out by Shadow Word: Pain as well. This really narrows down the list of eligible targets that would warrant including Entomb over the other removals.

Best targets would have to be high health low attack minions, preferably at 4 attack or less. The only somewhat reliable target for this card in today's meta is probably Ysera. While it's true the meta will change but I'm not sure it will make a difference here.

Overall, I say this is a very bad card and even though it's strictly better than Recycle, that's not saying much. Kind of like saying dog crap is better than cow crap. At the end of the day, they're both still crap.

 How many SW: Deaths will you put in the deck? Many times I found that I need one more or that the card is not enough because of the deathrattle effect. Howver, I agree that it seems pretty slow.

Let's test first and we talk about it later.
