Why are there no details of a few leaked cards on the front? Is a front page post being put together, or is this supposed to fly under the radar for a bit still?
EDIT: Got this comment in before the note about it being revealed on a Twitch stream.
Meh. I doubt this will see any play. Maybe if it had taunt, those stats could be worth it. I like the flavor of the card. Reminds me of the abomination from darkest dungeon. Could see play in aggro maybe.
Very well statted for it's cost with an obvious large drawback. I can still see this card getting play (or at least be experimented with) in aggressive decks that don't care much about board control, or in spell heavy control decks since it can two for one on the board most of the time
Even for silence priest, this doesn't seem viable to me, except we get a reason to wipe our own board because of minions with extreme deathrattles or something
Start of Year: Provoke the failure of 3 expansions, force nerfs on otherwise balanced cards, bring deckbuilding to an all-time low and get rotated one year earlier for being such a threat to the game's health. - Genn and Baku's historical entry on the White Book of Shit Design, shortly before retiring unpunished
I think it might have some really niche uses. For instance, if you're playing a spell heavy deck then you might not mind losing the board that doesn't exist (something like freeze mage or a combo priest). Also if you actually want your own minions to die then it might be a cute trick.
For instance, you steal a minion with Shadow Madness but can't make a perfect trade killing both minions off. This minion dies to another enemy minion killing off that extra minion which could be something like a deathrattle card draw. Then you get the card draw, minion dies, and you got a good stated minion with this. And yeah that's a dream scenario and not reality in 95% of cases but it's something to think about.

Not gonna lie, this ain't good. At all. At least, it seems that way.

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?

Come visit my Card Emporium. Strange things, you will find inside...
Come take the test, if you're daring. Feel free to show me your results in a message.
4 mana wipe your board LUL
Tasty!! Nice For silence priest too.
Seems bad but may potentially have a use. Maybe killing off your own board to trigger deathrattle effects will be useful in this expansion?

This isn't a leaked card, this is an actual card reveal.
It takes time to do up a news post, usually Flux would be the one to do it and it's... pretty late in NA now :P
Nice, I will put it in my N'Zoth Priest, just what I needed
This card seems like another nerf to random card generators like evolve or devolve . Might be used in decks though , it is early to tell.
Maybe playable in a egg druid deck but i doubt it

Probably will see about as much play as Manic Soulcaster sadly.
Ironforce Portal nerf
This will never be used in any deck, but always fuck up random minion summons, like Evolve, Ironforge Portal. I hate this card.
Very good with Eggs or warlock new deathrattle cards to be reviled deck ;-)
