Bad card. Since it doesn't proc battlecries you will pretty much only get a bunch of stats for 8 mana which is really slow. You'll have to consider that most of the decent high mana legendaries are rotating out and since it is a discover card you can only get neutral and priest cards. And since priest doesn't have a 8+ mana legendary it can only discover neutral legendaries. The only good outcomes are therefore Ysera and Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound. Dust this card and put in some proper late game instead if you want to play a control deck. Or keep it for some randuin deck, your choice.
In a lot of cases you're just getting an 8/8 for 8, and in the good cases you're only getting a 1~2 mana discount on a card you should have put in your deck in the first place. As a side note this is pretty good for Yogg.

How is deathwing not a good outcome? 8 mana 12/12 is good.
The card you want to get from Free From Amber is the new 7/7 Charge. It has a negative Battlecry that can be ignored and is a nice way to trade or get in some chip damage while developing a board.

In arena? Sure it's great. But it is really slow to only get a huge stat stick in standard and slow cards are not good enough to play in constructed. So what if you got an 8 mana 12/12 with no effect, it will be dealt with the same way as any other big minion, removed by a 2-4 mana card and then you will lose the game since you spent 8 mana doing nothing, giving the opponent a huge tempo advantage.
very good will see play. more consistent than forbidden shaping, which saw some play, and if greedy control/deathrattle priest is strong, this certainly could find a spot.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
it's preety bad. priest does not have good 8-drops. no gromash, no tyrion, no rag. i think that only will be good in a medivh deck. Mind control and that card have a good synergy with medivh. but this is it.
Just saying, I learned my lesson after we all hyped Deathwing, Dragonlord, only to be disappointed.
Declaring decks aren't viable before release, classic.

Oh boy, this should be fun.
Whether or not this card ends up being viable, I'm still going to use it.
Meta-defining at rank 20.
Lol most people voted verry good on this crap xD
1. There is no class minion with 8+ so this always gets you a neutral.
2. how many good outcomes are there? 1?! Ysera, ok deathwings are 12/12 for 8 which is kinda ok but nothing special either.
Bad options: Noggenfogger,all giants, cthun,nzoth, yog saron,onyxia, and so on and so on.
Basically this is unpayableSince most high cost minions work over battlecrys and the rest is just stats for 8 mana which is not a good tradeof.

finally..
it's time....
for the guy that makes you never play on mobile again :)
Very good option for Tortollan Primalist.
8 manas Tortollan and Ysera, profit. :P

Might be ok in a barnes/Y'Sarraj deck where you really only want 2 minions in your deck. It's not great there, but, at least it's not a minion.

bad card once you consider its options
Anyone think the parenthesis around the number (8) might mean if you discount the card cost you would open the range up to smaller minions?
Does this make it better or worse, if so?
I vote: worse.
*EDIT: After some research, I don't think this is the case at all. It's just 8 all the time.

Forbidden Shaping wayyyyyyy better than this card....
