The other guy was way too pessimistic. Time to break down the cards for real. This contains the entirety of the WoG expansion. Remember, it's just one person's opinion. Cards are organized by Rarity and then Mana Cost to make it easier for you to find them.
Will Be Run Will appear in many played/popular decks.
In this case I think the pessimism was much closer to the mark.
As a side note, what about The Boogeymonster does not scream "super poop" to you?
Not sloppy, just my style, and with more explanation. Maybe pessimism is closer to the mark, but not all the time. To me, The Boogeymonster could be decent. I think it would've been better if it wasn't 'attacks and kills' just 'kills'. I can see someone using this and it working out okay. That's why it's not 'super poop'.

My name is ProudNitro. I am a theorycrafter and a custom card creator. I also make tier lists for expansions. Here's one for Whispers.
In a slow Meta The Boogeymonster can trade against a few big threats and threaten 10ish damage to face. After your opponent plays Golden Monkey for example and there is no threat of removal it gets a 2 or 3 for 1 against big ticket legendaries.

Super great? Probably not. Horrible? No.
This is exactly what I was thinking.

You know what can do the exact same thing unconditionally and is harder for your opponent to kill right off the bat? Gruul.
also corrupted healbot .....control warrior never cares how much your opponent health is....they need big threat and 6,6 for 5 mana sign up any cw..........future will show you guys such a great changes .we all will be amused

If BGH isn't nerfed with the Standard release, then you're actually wrong about Gruul being harder to kill straight away. At least the Boogeyman dodges BGH until it kills something.
But then again, that's why no one runs Gruul anyway.
to be fair [card] The Boogeymonster[/card] cannot be deal so easily if your opponent doesnt have a board, and at this time probably he already use all his hard removal,,,, but still this card is really far to compete whit another legendary in the same mana spot like ragnaros or chromaggus , or even common cards like Kvaldir Raider that can be snowballed more easily,,, so mostly see no play unless they have another card or cards that have low cost that interact directly whit this like given him immune , windfury, or charge.
CORRUPTED HEAL BOT IS A 5 DROP 6/6 HOW DARE YOU PUT IT ON THE SAME LEVEL AS TENTACLES FOR ARMS! WHO CARES WHAT IT'S DEATH RATTLE IS!!!! I AM FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I agree. Gruul's weakness is removal though, and if you have ever played or had him played against you without an answer he wrecks games. I think the BGH/Silence nerfs (if/when) *might* change some of these 'less impactful' legendaries.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I think you are underrating Giant Sand Worm and Corrupted Healbot. The former is a good control tool for dealing with swarms of little minions (yes I know it is very expensive for that) while also having the option of killing larger threats or being a threat itself. The latter is like a bigger Zombie Chow, but at a different stage in the game, and whereas Zombie Chow will die to many common 2-drops, Corrupted Healbot will kill the most popular six-drops (Sylvanas and Emperor Thaurissan) and survive (in the case of Sylvanas, you can even then take advantage of the deathrattle for yourself).
Gruul sucks and it's better than your "not super poop" card. Also corrupted healbot is going to be played, not only in niche decks, very very likely, for the same reason zombie chow is. Granted, chow is way better, but a 6/6 for 5 is still a thing, board control eventually wins you the game no matter how much heal your opponent gets.

Will Be Run
Will appear in many played/popular decks.
Might Be Run
These could be in decks, but I'm not too sure.
Probably Won't Be Run
These cards might have a niche spot, but I'm thinking they won't be run.
SUPER POOP Tier
Cards that are really, really terrible. No popular deck will use them.
C'Thun Synergy Tier
Cards that have synergy with C'Thun, which they're most likely to be played with.

Just compare the boogeymonster with foe reaper 4000, foe reaper has nine health and most of the time it does not survive te following turn.
infested tauren will see play in n'zoth deck...mark my words
polluted hoarder is top1 tier if you ever played arena
^we are discussing constructed not arena
also corrupted healbot .....control warrior never cares how much your opponent health is....they need big threat and 6,6 for 5 mana sign up any cw..........future will show you guys such a great changes .we all will be amused

Mostly Harmless
^ Foe Reaper 4000 dodges BGH as a 8 drop with more health than the boogiemonster and still is a mediocre card
12 wins in ArenA with: Mage and Paladin, first time legend with Rogue
BBQ an egg?
