THE DREAM:
T1 Flame Imp + The Coin + Voodoo Doctor + Happy Ghoul
T2 Defile
happy ghoul is basically a hero power(2mana) 3/3 for priest on turn 2, not THAT impressive since its likely ur health is still full on turn 2.
won't see play
If your health is full, you won't be healing on turn 2 with hero power.
Theory: both cards are the iconic Pharrell Williams songs from Despicable Me 2 and 1, respectively.

Nice find mate ;-)
And they are "minions", theory proven
I think good in priest and paladin. It's like a dread corsair when you equip truesilver or if you play wickerflame burn bristle in the new divine shield paladin if it becomes a thing.
Dispicable Dreadlord is clearly a solid stand alone card too. It's like a mini better stated barron geddon that does less aoe but has the plus side of not damaging your own board.
Shit. With more cards like Happy Ghoul, maybe tempo non dragon priest could become a thing in the future! I hope they push a faster archetype for priest. I've always wanted a viable one.
5 mana 4/5 does not fit in Zoo decks. It's a great card for midrange/control decks.
Or you could just play a 8/8 edwin without running bad cards, 10/10 if it's turn 1 and coin, same number of card combo
Dreadlords are awesome! :)

Happy Ghoul looks so...happy, actually. So cute lol
Tho I can see the aggro/Lifesteal synergy :p
Basically a 0 mana 3/3. Wow.
Good luck playing this on turn 1.
I understood the above comment to mean that this card is op, as it is a zero mana three three. My statement was meant to encourage some thinking beyond the basics of the card, such as the requirements to activate the effect. ex: Swinging with True Silver, paying for the priest hero power, or playing a card (like Voodoo Doctor, Defile, etc.).
Voodoo Doctor + Happy Ghoul....5/4 stats for 1 Mana. Powerful 1 Mana combo...I like it!
No deck that wants to play such a low value card like voodoo, i think the ghoul wont be good because no deck that wants healing will care to play a 3-3 that does nothing
Edit: no aggro deck will be running enough healing that you will get the combo off often enough. If you do you get a good start, just as good a start as token druid already has but harder to pull off. Because you need specific cards and be damaged instead of random 1 drops. Token shaman can afford to run dopple evolve because its much slower with a lot more value than what voodoo ghoul combo would want to be played in which excels before turn 3 in a token druid style deck.
