It's ok in the current brawl...I wouldn't run it though. There are far too many 1 drops in the game that beat it and unless your deck is relatively unaffected, it's not even a net positive a lot of the time. I might consider it as a 1 of in reno freeze mage or reno yogg hunter...neither of which are really strong decks and both only consider it at best.
He is kinda alright in a priest deck built to support him. If you can get him to a 2/4, he is relatively hard to remove. Its main problem is that the card is only fine early on against a rush deck, or overall okay against someone trying to play a 10-cost minion.
That said, I do not think that we currently have enough support to build him out of priest. Without the Velen's chosen, it is a lot harder to keep him in the game. I have tried him in a deck that also ran power word: tentacles, but he ended up underperforming. It especially hurts that we have an emperor giving discounts to 10 cost minions floating around. I think mana wraith could be good should we have another piece of the puzzle, either a second one at 3 mana that is a 2/4 out of the gates, or someone at even higher costs that taxes for 2. If we could find another good buff out there, then I think there could be a deck in there.
Back in the day I already played him to some success. I do not play enough to get him to legendary, but my mana wraith deck did crush until the season was over, at rank 7.

Does this card counter certain decks? Which deck would you run this in?
I think a tempo deck that ends it's curve at 2 could benefit from this card. Other than that I don't think playing a 2/2 is worth the potential upside
