Priest getting another useless/meme legendary. Meanwhile - look at other stuff in new expansion. All other legendary minions look quite good (including obviously OP Druid one) and interesting. While this - on the other hand, not only boring, but feels extremely weak for a legendary effect. Resummoning vanilla 5-5 minion and you also need to use spells on it. This MIGHT be relevant in "Combo inner fire priest" though, but there are better options for this deck rather than 6 mana 5-5.
Edit: on a positive note - maybe it's not that bad, considering N'zoth in wild. Possibly can be very annoying if you not hex it immediately.
I don't know if Zerek will be a thing, but i'd also play The Voraxx 'cause it's very good ( just like Zerek ) with Vivid Nightmare and of course the new 5 mana spell.
I'm thinking the only way this card is playable is if we copy him with a spell (Vivid Nightmare or Power Word: Replicate) that the new copy comes with the deathrattle activated. Like, if I target him with Vivid Nightmare, it activates his deathrattle and then the spell completes, copying the now activated Zerek, Master Cloner. Now you have a 5/5 and a 5/1 that both summon a 5/5 when they die with just the one spell. I suspect that is how he'll work and if that's the case, he may be playable. Still not great. Not even that good compared to other class legendary cards, but at least playable.
The only way I can see this work is to put Vivid Nightmare or Mirage Caller on this and than a Power Word: Shield on the 1/1.
But if that's really worth it for 10 mana... I doubt it.
You have ways to resummon it. Then probably duplicate it with the Cube.

Seriously? Well, he'll be silenced and lose his deathrattle...
