None of these cards would have helped me like Plague of Death would have. This seems like a pretty big fail and it would be much appreciated if anyone can tell me why this happened so I can better understand Zephrys the Great and won’t find myself taking the L again because he failed to deliver what to me was obviously the “perfect” card.
Zephrys grants the wishing player a card from a selection of three cards, from the Basic and Classic sets, to help turn the tide of battle in the player's favor.
Thanx for filling me in on the only Classic and Basic card sets being offered up. This was definitely an eye opener but I still think that even Mass Dispel would have been a more “perfect” card because with what I had in hand I could have cleared the board and not had to worry about the deathrattles.
Zephrys don't know what's in your Hand, so zephrys decided that triggering 2 high cost deathrattle effects ist better than leaving your opponent with a 9/1 and a 9/5(silenced shadowy Figure)
I have priestess of fury on board, my opponent has a 2 health minion on board and he is down to 16 hp. I play zephrys and I get the usual 8 cost options. If I got windfury I would hit him twice in the face with priestess and at least 4 of the priestess ticks would hit him because his minion is down to 2 hp, so it was guaranteed lethal coming out of board not hand. I had no other way to deal with the 2 health minion from hand and then play zephrys.
^ Zephrys only knows the card text for doomsayer I believe and evaluates deathrattles based on the cost of the card its attached too. all other effects are completely unknown to Zephrys. So the 6 damage end of turn effect is not taken into calculation and therefor you do not have visible lethal.

Can someone help clarify Zephrys the Great for me a little better because In a recent match my opponent had:
(1) 9/1 Coilfang Warlord
(2) 3/3 Shadowy Figure w/ death rattle to summon a copy of copy of Coilfang Warlord
(1) 1/5 Shadowjeweler Hanar
and a couple other cards that I can’t remember that filled out his board. So I have 10 mana and I play 0 cost Zephrys the Great and he didn’t offer me Plague of Death. Instead it offered me

zephrys can only give cards from the basic and classic set and Plague of Death is an expansion card
It only offers you classic cards. How do people not get this?

Its just a bad card, stop playing HL decks.
LOL he is usable outside HL decks too, you just have to know HOW TO PLAY HIM
EU 11/2015+ , f2p 03/2021+: DK 63 / DH 205 /Dr 277 / Hu 733 / Ma 6666 / Pa 1072 / Pr 1165 / Ro 1791 / Sh 1303 / Wl 707 / Wr 664
So your saying he’s broken then? If he doesn’t know what’s in your hand how can he possibly give you the perfect card?
It's the perfect card based only on the current board state.
Why doesn't Zephrys the Great give me lethal, when I play him on turn 2?

What about this scenario:
I have priestess of fury on board, my opponent has a 2 health minion on board and he is down to 16 hp. I play zephrys and I get the usual 8 cost options. If I got windfury I would hit him twice in the face with priestess and at least 4 of the priestess ticks would hit him because his minion is down to 2 hp, so it was guaranteed lethal coming out of board not hand. I had no other way to deal with the 2 health minion from hand and then play zephrys.
If you want mass dispel, play Zep with 4 mana. Twisting Nether was a better card than mass dispel in that situation bc only leaves one minion.
