Yeah, I forgot about Antique Healbot. I believed that it would be a heavily run card, only if the then prevailing Huntertaker metagame continued. But Hunter dropped off, whether because of Healbot or otherwise I'm not sure, and Healbot still gets played. I suppose thanks to Handlock decks it will always get played. Very strong card. Watching some of Trump's vids playing Handlock, and a few times he screws up and gets lethaled when he could've played Healbot. I mean, being only a 3/3 doesn't matter most of the time because often you are just literally trying to survive one more turn to get more heal engines or taunts online for a better next turn. Very solid card.
How about the still under-appreciated cards of G&G?
I remember Amaz previewing Blingtron 3000 as very good, and right now I still don't see anyone else playing it other than him. But the way he plays it in Priest though, it's value-town every time. Whenever Warrior or Hunter has a weapon out it usually gives him a worse one, and against Shaman's Doomhammer it's a downgrade about 100% of the time, obviously. Best of all, Rogues right now are playing in a way that they'll invest a Deadly Poison or Sharpsword Oil into their weapon anticipating Blade Flurry, then they get blanked. It's comparable to Harrison Jones, considering you get only 1 card about 90% of the time with Harrison, only the card you get with Blingtron is a weapon you equip right away. Even with two non-weapon classes at the table, the person playing Blingtron gets the first attack. In the context of some Warlock or Mage aggro deck, sometimes the weapon is an epic like Gorehowl, Doomhammer, Gladiator's, and you get finishing power right away. It finishes all the time even in Amaz's Priest. I also think it would be really good in Druid alongside the Hero ability, but I haven't seen it played there yet. Definitely a card that surprised me when I finally saw it getting the play it deserves.

Lil' Exorcist is actually working out fairly well for me, whenever I'm playing something with, like, y'know... a couple of deathrattle minions.
