Looks very bad by itself. +1/+1 for locking yourself out of playing more minions is quite bad, especially if it hasn't taunt.

I finally understand this odd choice for a first reveal!

Only reason why they would create such a card is they planing to give you this kind of card  

Arena is about to get LUL!!!!!!!!!!

To all those who say this might work in non-minion decks: and why would they want a vanilla minion then, even if ovestatted? Don't you realize there are zero reasons to prefer a 4 mana 5/6 over another AoE, stall, heal or burst spell?

What pressure does this put against a control deck? Being your only minion 95% of the time, almost zero. It might as well help them a bit by being easy Dirty Rat fodder and giving an actual use to their removal.

What pressure does this put against an aggro deck? Being your only minion 95% of the time and not having taunt, almost zero.

Voted it Bad instead of Dust it, but only because will see play by fucking up Deathrattle generators, Evolve, Medivh, Ironforge Portal, Unstable Portal, and buffing Devolve.

For the low price of wiping your entire board, you get +1/+1 over vanilla stats without effect! Seriously Blizz? This is how you start your reveal?

 Are you really surprised? The last time we got the gem that is Verdant Longneck on announcement day.

Useless

Cant believe some peoples replies here lol..... even in mage decks you will most likely have a secret out by turn 4. id much rather play a 2 mana 5/5 than this shit or play a freezing/clearing spell whatever, everythings gonna have more impact to my enemies board and hp than this thing. even if its just clearing your books and 2/3s 4/3s. why would i when i have a billion better choices than this crappy self-sabotage? also the nzoth thing.... imagine you revive this abomination with it, your opponent clears it and wipes your whole deck with it... wow such smart much good :D

Not bad if the opponent takes it with Sylvanas, or as an egg activator!

Not enough cards have been revealed in order to analyze this within the whole set. That's for sure.

However, I don't quite see how this is going to fit.

You obviously don't want to play this in a minion based deck. The deal 5 damage aoe rattle is bad as it is, and because it has a 5/6 statline, you probably will trade to keep this around a few turns... ouch.

Currently, I don't see what spell based decks would really want this either. Even classes like Mage often have some form of a board, and even in purely spell-based decks, you may not want to dilute your draws. It's not like it helps against aggro that much either: it's a 4-cost minion without taunt. Pirate warrior will run right over it.

The 3 conditions I see this card in the meta in are as follows:

1. There's a way to summon this for your opponent, or give your opponent its effect. Perhaps a Silvannas 2.0?

2. This is played in silence priest. If you're desperate and you lost your board, you can play this without silencing it.

3. There is some other way to nullify the deathrattle, sort of like Defias Cleaner, but better.

So far... 1 star

good for arena

Everyone hating on this without seeing the set in full. I imagine the use case for this is that all your other minions have crazy deathrattles that your opponent will never set off. Now you have a way to set them off yourself. Think of this as the Hunter [[Feign Death]] card that may have some downsides (you may lose some minions, but may summon more powerful ones)

Getting this out of Piloted Sky Golem is almost as bad as getting Doomsayer out of Piloted Shredder

Other than than the Silence and Egg Synergies this card have which are too niche for this card to be good with just +1/+1 over Yeti, I have found an amazing interaction with this card:

Usher of Souls + Dreadsteed + C'Thun + Ticking Abomination + other small Deathrattle minions. 

This can be a very good meme deck with which you can occasionally get some wins. Good for having fun!

bad card is bad card,nothing  much to say

even if this have taunt it still terrible with huge drawback

Bad, might see experimentation in silence priest but it's not a strong enough body.

it seems that the only way to counter this card is with Fireball! so OP, can't wait to see more of it

You guys and your gut reactions. All this tells me is that Blizzard is going to be printing a Donate effect in some class or another. For those who don't play MTG, Donate is a card that has the effect of giving control of a card you control to your opponent. You can play this, Donate it to your opponent, kill it and wipe their board, and that messes with any resurrect effects they have as well (Such as N'Zoth, the Corruptor.

I for one think this card is good, it's a balance check for random events. Is anyone gonna purposely use it? Probably no, are people gonna evolve/ random generate it. Yes. This card was made for your opponent not for you
