what is the best way to play this dude? lik is it better to wait till late game to benefit the most from having the most available mana to play as many drawn cards as possible or is 1-2 drawn cards enough value?
I think this will crazy. Designers are completely insane.
The Power level of cards are not anymore Like Shredder 4/3 cost 4 : Deathrattle: Summon random 2 minion mana...
I smell Echo meta!
On the meme side of things, you could get this guy buffed infinitely with an empty deck, a couple Kingsbanes, and Blackwater Pirate (discounts weapons by 2). Of course you would want immediate face damage; Mr. Smite could help with that with some mana discounts (e.g. Potion of Illusion). Animations may take a while though
I mean you could possibly get some good card draw off it, but beyond that it's a pretty solid "Meh".
Meh
How does this work with casts when drawn?
Cast when drawn will not buff this. Cast when drawn will draw another card that you would need to play so you can buff it and draw another card.
Are you guessing or you know that for sure? Because that doesn't actually make sense with how "casts when drawn" usually works.
I have a creeping suspicion the "effect" will not transfer onto the newly drawn card, like a draw-and-discount effect that fizzles after hitting a Soul Fragment.
If you draw a 'cast when drawn', you will be unable to continue edwin's effect. I ran mankrik in a deck with acrobatics and it works that way with that, so I can't imagine this will be any different.
cast when drawn cards doesn't count as played cards
the effect will work similarly to Acrobatics
in addition, the following card you draw after the "cast when drawn" will lose Edwin's effect, following the same rule of Acrobatics and Skull of Gul'dan when you draw mankrik's wife or any other cast when drawn
A little disappointing, given the volume of cast when drawn in Rogue, but not surprising.
At least not as busted as the old one tho...
much weaker than nerfed edwin
So?

It's hard to see how this will work in practice to a maximum benefit. Even with some sort of draw engine in place or already on the board, it seems like you may get two or 3 buffs max on this. A 4 mana 8/8 is cool, but considering Flesh Giants drop for much less, this seems like an odd fit for what rogue is trying to do right now with Garrote or Quest. Definitely a worse Vancleef
Uh, that's 3 buffs while drawing 3 cards. It's a huge tempo swing.
