You about to be consistent, friend
I tend to disagree with your first statement. In World of Warcraft (which Hearthstone states it was at least originally based upon), spirit beasts are dead, but they are still considered Beasts. That is why Hunters can tame them.
For thematic reasons. Technically, no matter what they were in life, ghostly creatures don't belong to any tribes. To actually have it be a beast it would also have to not be dead. A small thing to most, but it might hint at a new tribe involving ghosts or ethereal creatures in the future, or even just the consideration that it might happen somewhere along the road. Same reason they changed Jade Spirit into and elemental after the initial big change. It was one they didn't specifically want in the elemental pool, but it was thematic and when they realized they had missed it they went back and corrected it. Same reason they added the beast tag to North Sea Kraken, removed it from Jungle Moonkin, and added the elemental tag to Molten Giant and Mountain Giant. This is their exact statement:
"We also discussed how to address spectral beast cards like Witchwood Grizzly and Arfus. Are they Beasts or not? For Witchwood Grizzly, we liked the gameplay interactions that it had with Witching Hour and Kathrena Winterwisp. We decided to update its art to make it look like a beast instead of a ghost. Arfus meanwhile, is seeing a lot of play because he is being Discovered by Deathstalker Rexxar, which is really fun, so we're leaving him as is for now."
They should also change the artwork for Arfus (or remove the beast tag). Arfus is incosistent with Spectral Spider from Haunted Creeper and Bonemare
Only a few days into the expansion and I already hate this card so much. It haunts me in every Arena match and its stats are always above the due power level. I even consider myself lucky when I get to deal with it...
The effect is a debuff, not a damage effect like Injured Blademaster. That means silencing it gives it health back. Nice
sick golden art
One question: does lady in white buff stick to ressurected minions? :o
This card looks like fun
I have my fair share of qualms with aggro decks but come on, they run out of cards fast often enough and that thing is a bit too big, not to mention it's resurrectability and duplicatabily. Yeah, those aren't exactly words but you get my point XD.
Pulling this with Master Oakheart is really really good.

You won't see it because it has a keyword and special text.
People will run this in Priest decks with "Lady in White". Pop out a 12/12 taunt on your 7th if you are RNG lucky.
Arena Top card?
I have only four words about this one:
"Onward, friends! To adventure!"
Cyclopian Horror sends it's regards.
good anti agro tech
the aggros gonna hate, the others don't care about it that much
Hot damn. This would be amazing in recruit decks.
