Looks like a pack-filler at first but when you consider this can be combo'd with rush minions (or mechs after playing dr boom) it looks a bit better. Best case scenario you use it with Akali, the Rhino and he overkills 3 minions, drawing you 3 cards that get buffed +5/+5. Can also be used with the new Vicious Scraphound for some extra armor.
The tempo warrior will be having trouble with the wide boards now that Bloodrazor is rotating, this card will help fill that gap.
Warpath then? Or even Cleave. Warrior is not hurting for this type of effect. I don't think this card is bad, per se. It just has a lot of competition in Warrior.

Personally I feel control didn't really get enough this set. If warrior is going to be minion focused, like I think it will be, this will be great. Warpath does not go that well in minion based decks.
1/1 next to a big creature. . . attack the 1/1 with this and your strong creature lives This is going to see tons of play Scraphound > Zilliax > Sweeping Strikes gains you 10-20 health + 10-20 armor and board clearing
remember the minion only takes damage from the hit minion not the adjacent ones, allowing for some big tempo swings, especially when warrior has a lot of rush support.

Rush warrior will be a great counter if swarm decks become the new normal, and this will be an essential tempo control card for it.
Regarding Darius: No, that's why his card reads "attacks and kills."
Sweeping Strikes doesn't cause him to attack the additional targets.
Overkill, on the other hand, only cares if you deal damage, not necessarily by attacking. (Spells can have overkill, for example.) So Akali should be fine.

Uh... this is going to be underrated. Any rush deck would want this. Also insane with Batterhead.
Does this work with Darius Crowley so if he kills 3 he gets +6+6?
Good call. Just like two Gonk, the Raptor give druids extra attacks, this minion can gain them as well the more sweeps it does.

Any deck playing this is probably a tempo deck.
With rush, you should already be getting most of the favorable trades.
My guess is that Execute/Warpath are better.
It probably will, seeing how most other interactions of this sort work
I tried having fun once. It was awful.
Ouch ...
This is going to hurt

I'm going to guess no since he doesn't technically attack and kill the other targets.
What about Knife Juggler interaction? Will KJ hit adjacent mionions if he doesn't hit face?
Nope, you have to attack with the minion for this effect to trigger.
That's the most likely scenario, but it may very well be programmed differently.
Could be incredibly good, but a little bit slow, with Darius Crowley

Would Darius Crowley (for example) get +6 from this if he kills all 3, how about Akali, the Rhino?

Definitely not worth 2 mana on average, but there are some nasty combos. Only time will tell if this sees play in a refined meta.
