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.
Even if, that's a 3(!) card combo for the mere value of a single Flamestrike. Even in non-aoe classes, you can achive this in better ways. Lastly, even with donate it's also way easier done with Doomsayer. Cheaper too.
It's completely unplayable unless they introduce a way to "give" it to the opponent or some new card with a broken interaction as a reward for damaging/wiping your board. You're not playing this in a deathrattle deck (you want good deathrattles), you're not playing it in a silence deck (there are better minions to silence), and you're not playing it in an egg deck (you play things like Argus on eggs to give your board resiliency, not this to pop your eggs and kill your other minions).
What a complete piece of garbage Change it to 4damage to ALL minions, or 6-7 stats, and it would still not be viable in constructed. As is, it is Anomalus level of terrible.
Like someone has already said, this is very much like Verdant Longneck being revealed in Un'Goro. It most likely won't be played in constructed, definitely not in Arena, but may just be their way of slowly introducing us to the theme behind this expansion.
I love it how almost everyone on here is saying how terrible this is without seeing *any* other Cards from the new set.
Talk about Knee Jerk.. .. I'm betting this'll find its way into a deck or two somewhere. It's too niche to be merely 'filler'.
There will be cards that work with this and other Deathrattle cards for sure...
Some cards are just bad dude.
Design a card that makes this playable
Devilsaur egg is a start. I think there may be something here If there enough deathrattles that you want to trigger but are hard to trigger, this could be an activator card for that type of deck. Maybe that deck will suck (if there are even enough tools for it). But until we see the whole set, I'm hesitant to write off a card like this that has a downside that could be turned into and upside.
If you can give a lifesteal to minion, this will be good. Or a minion that disables deathrattles while alive.
No. Lifesteal won't work. Lifesteal only heals your hero for the amount of damage dealt by a card. So, it won't work on Deathrattle since the minion isn't alive. It's similar that Poison doesn't work with Deathrattle. Like Death's Bite + Envenom Weapon didn't work or Rogue dagger + Envenom Weapon + Blade Flurry didn't work. However if you can trigger its Deathrattle through other means like Feign Death or Terrorscale Stalker, then it can work, but it will be a 3 card combo for a reno effect that also destroys your board. Not worth it.

Might be halfway decent in deathrattle priest, you're often trading and you have generally low health minions anyway, this is your bruiser to heal and trade with. Don't get me wrong though... just trying to be optimistic, still seems sketchy even in a priest quest deck.

it's a massive tuant that can kill your eggs, it's playable, need a remind you that Purify, Duplicate, Reincarnate [/card]and [card]Grim Patron were deemed unplayable when revealed?

Great in arena, too destructive in constructed.
