Hi, I pulled up a Nexus-Champion Saraad and I think this is a cool card. It seems a bit slow and needs protection. I like his unpredictability that only Mage (with Unstable Portal) and Nefarian (that I love) have.
In what class does it shine ? In what decks is he playable ?
For now I only replaced Harrison Jones for him in my ramp Druid. It kinda replaces the situationnal card draw and I have many taunts to protect him.
Control(ish) shaman looks like a good fit, since it's a class that uses it's hero power a lot anyway. In addition, the class has a good inspire minion of it's own so there might be a theme to work on.
right now i run it in tempo mage, the deck i have have a bit more on the high end and putting him out usually means i have clear my opponents hand and board by turn 5, i need a removal bait going into 6.... either way i m fine with for the most part, and when he start rolling, he becomes flamewaker fuel......
i been playtesting him in totem shaman since i dont use the azure drake in the 5 slot, i added one, its a bit weird.... i think i will be replacing him with loatheb.....
as for priest, i find him okay in priest control when i go into late game and running low on cards.... northshire and power word shield isnt usually doing enough since most minions that accompany northshire tends to die too quickly to get heal and power word shield only cycles....
i been testing him out in warrior control... it really gets you some surprisingly fun answers or bait out some ridiculous removal and make it save to drop other game changing minions...... or drop him on a empty board and push out more options in a mirror.... either way it works out fine....

I see it more as a fun card, to me it pales in comparison to Justicar Trueheart.

Well played my friend
