I have a doubt ther maly otk decks will rise to the top. You need to highroll like a God to do it consistently also it is prettly hard to survive in hs to make such a big combo. I see it in more value deathrattle/ big battlecry decks, maybe like shudderwock shaman with new Hagatha or something like that. This new card is realy cool and it definetly has potential to eneble otk deck, but it need some extra support (survivability or more consistency).
Guys is 8 mana for nothing the turn its played, in what meta can u skip a turn like that? Also your deck will have to be build around this and if u want consistency u have to cut all bad outcomes, meaning u would prolly die before u get this combo up working. Very rarely decks work with just spells for the early game. Yes res priest and spell hunter has done that, but they needed insane cards to pull it off and this cards needs tons of support to work, its insane to call it meta defining. Also consider the fact that u ruin the bodies of those minions is making this even more doubtfull
On one hand you would want to build some sort of combo deck around with, with few powerful minions to get an OTK, something like Malygos Velen and such.. but since this minion costs so much, it is very likely that by the time you cast it, you have already drawn your combo pieces, and so you lose the discount and the combo. Seems hard to have a reliable combo with this: I think getting value minions is a much better approach.

My Wild Cutlass Thief, a rogue deck focused on Spectral Cutlass. Just reached #176 Legend with a 62% win rate from rank 5.
I dont get the hype. I only see this card consistent for rogue, cause scheme, but guess what. You are already dead as rogue wasting a turn for
using minion+scheme and another for playing this.
Yeah it's slow but it's still has high chance to create an OTK.
he also can be high impact if you draw a high tempo 1/1.. it doesn't need to be this expansion but I am sure it will create an annoying otk sometime as long as it exists
Obviously there a broken OTK combo somewhere but I am not seeing it, you have to run only 3 minion and have to draw this card before other 2. Even in current Gallery Priest (which is rotating) this card won't see play.
I love how my vote was meta defining before i eve ndid anything. This card is by far the most op in the expansion so far, no questions asked. Insane in any kind of combo deck and even broken if you just run big battlecries

If you want more reliability in such a deck you can add Spirit of the Dead . Although it already makes it 1/1, it's just an extra tool to shuffle those early drawn minions back in your deck again.
You need to have good battlecry minions and not drawing them before Japetto, which is an 8 mana 6/6. I don't see this as meta defining, but can be good in a deck built around it.
Hmmm yes alot of cancer potential Malygos + Alexstrasza for 1 mana each is one of the most natural thoughts they cross our mind and i admit its not so fun playing against... But ive been thinking is there something equally or more broken? I am just giving you food for thought... What if u combo jepetto with lets say hmmm Archmage Arugal. Iam not sure if the arugal copies keep the mana reduction but still lets suppose they dont. How about drawing Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk one for 7mana(arugal copy) and one for 1mana(jepetto draw). So next turn we can have 2 × 8/8 Ragnaros the Firelord on board for 8mana total. It doesnt end there though... how about using our last 2 mana by playing a khadgar first(new mage legendary)... thats 4x Ragnaros the Firelord for 10mana. Eeeeewww in standard??? Really??? I know its hard to combo 4 cards for the dream etc etc but lets see... afterall you can always combo jepetto with arugal for pure value. The rest are to be seen... sorry for 2 long to read. Have a nice day!

+Big archetype support +Exploitable Battlecry +Combo generator +Generic Class Card
= Problem ?
We're going to play a lot of shudderwocky this time...
Some turn. Spirit of the Shark + Shadowstep
Some other turn. Malygos + Toggwaggles scheme
Some turn later. Spirit of the Shark + Jepetto Joybuzz
Finally. 4 malygoses + any spells that you didnt use as removal.
nice card..
-let´s negotiate: you concede and I let you live...
1 mana 1/1 Ultrasaur, wow
Well, now that is a safe craft.
To be honest this card looks scary. Yes, thanks god it is not barnes for 4 mana, but...

And then silence it to get a full 7/14 Ultrasaur .
Thanks for the idea!
And since this is possible only in wild, you can go even further and cast Purify on the 1/1 for extra memes.
tier 1 deck confirmed, Big Priest can fuck off
I tried having fun once. It was awful.

Even assuming that you don't die in the 3 turns you do nothing
Even assuming you draw the specific 3 legendary required
Why not use the treasure for both faster and more potent combo?

why they keep printing cards for OTK? for god sake...
