We also have Skulking Geist for a few months... Until then I doubt this card will see any serious play... then maybe some shenanigans can arise out of this card
Wait just a second - the token doesn’t say “draw a card”. So does this mean the opponent can just draw this with an empty hand and get nothing in return? Cause that changes things
There was actually an update not long ago, where "Casts when drawn" became a keyword.
Basically it removed the wording that says "Draw a card". So this will definitely also draw a card after it has been cast.

I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
The "Casts When Drawn" keyword was recently patched in on cards like Fal'dorei Strider's Spider Ambush token. The keyword triggers card draw as well, so you and your opponent aren't screwed over when they draw this.
Wouldn't this make Gul'dan immortal as he won't get fatigue dmg and healed the 3dmg with every HP?
No. Bloodreaver Gul'dan does not have lifesteal. Siphon Life has lifesteal. This is why you do not gain health when attacking with a weapon as Gul'dan. Although even if that was how Gul'dan worked you would still not gain life because it is the spell dealing the damage, not you. Also, you would still take fatigue damage because this shuffles in the extra copies AFTER you draw a card meaning that you can't infinitely chain blood. You actually WOULD heal for 3 health after taking damage for every blood if you had Hallazeal the Ascended on board.

Source? I don't think that's correct.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

Technically, with this card, it would be more like the 'Draw a card' is part of the cast since the Blood specifies that it shuffles in copies AFTER you draw a card. So the order would be:
Damage => Draw => Shuffle
Kind of weird but I guess they wanted to avoid OTKs with this.

But wait, if somehow I make my opponent enter fatigue and play this, this is straight up a win-condition. It will shuffle the corrupted spell over and over again and it will kill them. Sweet.
[edit] Off, I thought it had a battlecry effect and not a deathrattle one. Well, it still can be used in fun situations.
[edit 2] I smell a new mill Druid deck. It will run this card + Innervate + Naturalize.

This guy gets it.
This can be a finisher in something like Tank Up warrior or some mill type thing.
If we did mill the opponent's deck, then we triggered this deathrattle, it would be infinity damages right? First the spell will deal 3 damage and make two copies, then draw the exactly copy. It would be a loop till the opponent dies.

This will certainly also draw a card after it triggers. Making it WAY more potent.

If it works that way, this is better than fatigue. If not, then fatigue is better. 3+3+3+3.....one shot at at time is less damage than 1+2+3+4+5...one shot at a time.

I could imagine some wild shenanigans with this:
I will include this in a deck with Elise Starseeker or in a mill rogue with immune. Or maybe in a fatigue warrior deck with immune/Explore Un'Goro.
This is definitely a very interesting card.

Counters Mecha'thun and Druid (to a certain degree), but costs too much.

I hope this was helpful <3
I love this card.

10 mana to do nothing on play inconsistent and slow value.
10 mana minions have to be bombs and this ain't it

This is exciting. I have 0 idea if it's any good, but it's very cool.
