The fact that there are so many Warrior spells that clap single-target cheeks makes this a staple for the class. The fact that you can trade your board into a big thing, play this and then finish said thing off with something as weak as Slam or Sword and Board is highly appreciated. The fact that this card will probably get nerfed is imminent lol.
Played Headmaster Kelthuzad. Played Professor Slate. Arcane shot an 8/8 minion. It died, no summon.
Slate makes your spells poisonous. Kelthuzad's text says if the spell destroys any minion summon them. So why doesnt a poisonous spell summon the minion?

Because it is Slate who kills the minion not the spell.

It's definitely not. Not the way it's worded. It's a bug.

Did they actually patch it? I just finished a match where I played him, took out an 8/8 with a Shadow Word: Death and it didn’t summon the 8/8 minion for me.
I'm using this in duels. They have Embrace the Shadow alongside Circle of Healing. Just Embrace>Headmaster Kel'Thuzad>Circle and you clear/re-summon both the enemy and your board for anything with under 4 health. Generally it's made cheaper with the Palm Reading from one or two turns earlier. It's a devastating mid game clear, but it can also steal a full board of Carnival Clown.
The other alternative if you don't have the ingredients is Wave of Apathy into Headmaster Kel'Thuzad into [Shadow Word: Horror]. It's technically more powerful as it takes everything regardless of health. It is more expensive though if you haven't been using your Palm Reading or Nazmani Bloodweaver.

in wild:
DH: Blade Dance, Chaos Nova, Immolation Aura, Soul Cleave

Hunter: Grievious Bite, Powershot, Multi-Shot, Explosive Shot
Mage: Volcanic Potion, Dragon's Fury
Paladin: Consecration
Priest: Breath of the Infinite, Holy Nova, Mass Hysteria, Excavated Evil
Rogue: Fan of Knives, Blade Flurry, Lesser Onyx Spellstone
Shaman: Forked Lightning, Maelstrom Portal, Elemental Destruction, Lightning Breath, Lightning Storm, Volcano, Hagatha's Scheme
Warlock: Corrupting Mist? does that work?, Defile, Dark Skies
Warrior: Cleave, Plague of Wrath
I am sure there are many many more cards that interact well with this one!
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffer!
Synergy in Highlander Mage with Kalecgos +free spell as well as Cojurer's Calling and Rolling Fireball.
Also may be good for picking off some pre-Prime cards for stronger effects later.
So tried this with Hunter.

Sadly I feel that this card didn't live up to its expectations. Might replace it in my Galakrond Priest deck.
They are addressing this bug in the next patch
