This a great card for some tilype of spell burst combo, like priest mind blast with malygos and prophet villain on board would do some serious damage at end of turn
I knew I would have fun with him. I built a super greedy Thief Priest (even greedier than the one I use) just to make more combos with Vargoth. I lost 3 games in casual, because I only faced aggro decks, but on my fourth one I wrecked my Big Priest opponent.
Built a midrangey elemental mage deck with this guy. Only had time to play one game and my opponent was not the best. I dropped him on turn 4, my opponent seemed to panic when I played it and burnt an equality plus his spellbreaker (coined out previous turn to spellbreak my tar creeper) on board to get rid of it. So... mission accomplished? :D
Hes good in warrior. Shield block, weapon project for burst armor, dragon roar and omega project! double brawl clears even deathrattle boards, execute can be set up, and probably even more that i missed
Yeah, at least this card was free for everyone. All who saw this card knew how powerful or meta defining it is.
The people who voted this as bad or playable don't understand the power of this card. This card is really powerful.
Playing a Free spell is Free mana. Depending on the spell, can absolutely be broken.
Just name a spell that you normally like to play in the course of a game. Then go ahead and cast a second one for free. Now tell me how 'bad' or 'playable' that is?
This is not normally a turn 4 minion. Unless you are resurrect priest or Oaken Summons Druid.
This is a turn 7 or 8 play, in which you get enormous value and MUST be killed or you will keep doing it.
This is a combo activator and enabler. This is a value generator. This is free mana. This is at a minimum very good to meta defining.
I am glad I don't play Wild as often, that place is going to be full of Big Priest and counters to Big Priest. That's a dumpster fire that I have no interest in watching.

The best part, you don't need anything super-massive-gamewinning spell to play this card.
7 manas, this card + Arcane Intellect or Shield Block is good enough, you already get the value and the opponent must kill in next turn, a 6 health minion is not too easy to do.
According to every source I've seen, tomorrow, April 5.
EDIT: Looks like I was wrong, a patch just launched making this guy available to play now.

I was happy to see that Soul of the Forest does stack to give deathrattle: summon two treants.
This card is so busted in big priest. Already hate it.
Agreed, not playing until we get rotations.
Found the counter to Vargoth priest :P
Legend with : S65 Freeze Mage, S57 Maly Gonk Druid, S57 "Okay" Shaman, S53 Boom-zooka Hunter, S53 Maly Tog Druid, S52 Wild Tog Druid ft.Blingtron, S50 Quest Rogue, S49 Dead Man's Warrior, S41 Wild Clown Fiesta Druid, S41 Hadronox Jade Druid, S40 Wild OTK Dragon Druid, S35 SMOrc Shaman, S33 Jade Druid, S22 Control Priest, S19 Control Priest
Then don't play wild and don't face Big Priests.
I guess it must work the same for Big Bad Voodoo. I'll try it out in token or battlecry shaman next.

Next up for me: Necrium Vial in a deathrattle Rogue deck.
wild big priest is going to be too busted, call for nerf already
Funny interaction - Archmage Vargoth + Potion of Madness. Potion of Madness gains control of creature until end of turn, so when it triggers from Archmage Vargoth second times at the end of turn, it is permanent :-)
--Alfi--
Did you test it or are you assuming it?
Because I can remember how some end-turn effects cast Potion of Madness, which granted me control over the minion for like 1-2 seconds.
With Grand Archivist PoM grants control of the minion until the end of opponent's turn.
