I feel like people underestimate this card. As we've seen in the past, sticky Deathrattle minions that die twice are very good. It'll see play imo, as most other sticky Deathrattle minions are rotating out. 6/6 for four is great, pow'ing the 1/1 is great, great card.
This is properly balanced deathrattle 4 mana drop compared to Shredders. Shredders are so ridiculous, because of possibility to summon few 4/3 drops, Millhouse and Patiant Assassin which is just outrageous.
This may seems like it has similiar power but it is actualy a very slow card. You play this guy on turn 4. Opponent ignores it and goes face because you can't remove anything with it without buffs in a following turn. On your next turn (5) you probably Pop-up a Faceless and get a 5/5 but you don't remove any minion from opponent's board because 1 attack is too low. So you will be able to value trade with your 5/5 actualy only on turn 6.
This is actualy worse than just playing yeti on turn 4 and pit fighter on turn 5 almost in every cases except if you playing warlock with PO and Abusive Sergeants, etc. IMHO
I agree it is pretty slow. It can be reasoned that you are playing a 1/1 for 4 on turn for and a 5/5 for 0 on turn 5, which is bad for tempo in my opinion.

I like this card too, but as far as your comment on shredder goes ridiculous? He can summon you a 4/4 millhouse, he can also summon a 0/7 doomsayer that wipes your board or just a 1/1, that's just it, it's perfect because it's a good card with a luck based aspect, because this is a card game, what card game can be without luck. Also being with a 4/3 body for 4 makes it balanced under the circumstances of a silence, while 1/1 being silenced will hit you relatively harder. Anyhow don't complain about rng when you're playing a card game XD.
Let me put it in perspective:
There are 2400 pages of decks for the LOE patch on Hearthpwn. 984 pages have Dr. Boom. 764 have Piloted Shredder. I am in no way saying that shredder is anywhere near as good as boom. But the proof that it's an amazing card (like I said, it is the best card AFTER boom IMO) is right there. It is in SOOOO many decks. And Control decks do run it, because it's a godlike trade machine. It hardly ever trades for lower cost than itself, and a lot of control decks are in need of a good transitioning four drop. It sees play in Control Warrior, Ramp Druid, Grinder Mage, and like you said, Renolock. It may not see play in the most FACE of face, but other than that, you find it everywhere other than really heavily THEMED or non optimal decks. It may not be Boom, but it's the next best thing. Shredder is kind of crazy man. But I'm off this. If you want to keep talking about this, PM me, this is getting off the thread topic.
I like it... but its so weird... Its 6/6 worth of stats for 4 but idk what to think about it lol
i love this card, it does really a good againt other classes than priest because it forces them to trade it if they don't want an overpowered raptor played the next turn. It's even scarier than Thaurissan staying 2 turns in the board.
