Must be the WC3 fanboy in me, but I hate everything about this card. Probably doesn't help that I thought it gave you a DK Hero during the Livestream when I first saw it.
If the meta slows down significantly, Arfus can see play. He's a slow card but not a weak one. The deathknight cards are just insane in terms of relative power.
The reason he's so understatted compared to The Lich King is because having access to such powerful cards earlier in the game can make all the difference in the world. A 3 mana Diet-Flamestrike before Turn 8+ or Army of the Dead on Turn 6 could just outright win you the game. These things aren't (generally) possible with The Lich King...
This will be better than The Lich King most of the time. Comes out way earlier and since TLK will almost never last more than 1 turn you get the same yield card-wise. Plus it has support from countless deathrattle synergy cards.
This card is incredibly powerful, although I'm iffy on playing this card if the meta stays aggressive. A 4 mana 2/2 against an aggro deck might be absolutely useless, especially when you aren't guaranteed a death knight card. One big example to worry about is Potion of Madness. If a Priest steals your Arfus, you might pay heavily for that. I suppose the safest thing to do against Priest with this card is play it when you have nothing else on the board. Clearly this is only one example of how you could waste 4 mana, but I'm sure this card will see a lot of play in the late game.
I think this is the most overrated card in this expansion .
the dk cards are good but this is like 1 mana worth of stats and you pay 3 extra mana for a random ,although good card that sometimes you may not even get (potion of madness, silence , devolve etc) .
paying 3 mana for a single card even a good one is not acceptable in hs meta. Tempo is too important .
That said, the card is bad and will not see much play .
The variance on this card is high, but most of the outcomes are good.
Either will sink or swim first week based on that variance.
Deathstalker Rexxar approves!!

Have people actually looked at the cards this give? They're phenomenal. This is value regardless of which card it gives.
This is even danker than snowflipper penguin, and that's saying something
Great observation

Best Card released so far.
PUPPIERS!
Do not forget, could be chosen for a Zombeast creation.
Feels like a troll legendary. When you are praying to open arthas but you get arfus instead. Might see play, but i think it's bad.
Come here boy!
Potion of madness
