Very decent for extended matches in Arena where the game usually goes into topdeck wars, but the nice part about it is that it adds another dimension to things. Not sold on it being a staple in many decks in constructed, but with 130 cards in the Expansion, it is hard to predict.
I can see this being awesome. I really like Nefarion, and this guy can get more value from a thing you are already using. It can't be worse than getting a spare part, and value is value. This will end up with the same QQ threads as Thoughtsteal or anything else that can win you the game or lose you the game.
Coldara Drake is making inspire seem a bit, I dunno, dangerous? You've literally got a card that makes it do two damage, and this one will make it "deal two damage, gain a spell" for just 2 mana.
That stats are too low because it's an effective 4/5 7 Drop, there are way stronger 6 drops.
Could still be good for classes with poor card draw. 7 mana gets you 4/5 body with soft taunt, a use of hero power and a random spell which might be a really good one. Can also be played turn 5 and force your opponent to trade, use removal or bait a silence.
I can see this being played by warriors as a faster alternative to Ysera and Nefarrion. The spells might not synergise with other cards in your deck but it keeps your hand full and gives you something else to play.
A good card in general. If the meta is not too fast, this will competing the 5 mana tech slot with Loatheb and Harrison Jones.
Worst case, you're forced to play this on turn 5. It's a 4/5 body that has a pseudo-taunt. Your opponent has to deal with it unless it's a Face Hunter.
Medium case, you play this on turn 7. It becomes a 7 mana 4/5, gain a random spell and hero power. Not bad. Definitely worth awhile in control match-ups.
Best case is of course this survives for a turn or more. Depends on what spell you get but on average, you're getting pretty good value.
I can see this card being played in Control Warrior, Druid and Priest. Maybe Paladin.
Well I guess Blizzard are doomed to run out of actual lore characters at some point, so they might as well begin with new characters now... I mean it would be weird if they used all lore characters first and then ONLY had characters like this. Also it fits into the theme of this expansion to have new characters.
But hey, I like ethereals, so whatever! That parrot-riding pirate however...
At least I don't consider this card as stupidly ridiculous as Unstable Portal as it doesn't have as much potential for "throw the card on the table, win the game instantly!". Even though - needless to say - there's going to be a lot of BS, lucky lethal options and Trolden videos.
It feels like a really fun and interesting card and it's just calling to be played. Reminds me of Bligtron (which I personally admire) but I hope it doesn't end up being never seen again after a while.

It seems to be a card with potential. :P

Pretty bananas. to get value technically it will be a 7 mana card unless you have the other new card that reduces out there.
But I like the cards with huge abilities like this because your opponent then has to scramble to remove it very quickly.
Spell Lock inc. 100%

OH BABY. Such a cool card. This is going in a randuin wrynn-style miracle rogue for me.

Wont make the cut in any constructed deck... ever. Not even after 100 expansions.
Mini Nefarian that involves a condition.

Putting this guy in my Toshley ping mage build for sure. Seems like a powerful draw mechanic if you can make it stick and the body isn't bad.

Love the idea, though. Nefarian junior really.
its a yeti for 5, thats ok already. and it has pseudo taunt, because of its ability. looks playable in mage and handlock

officially better than nefarian, except against maybe handlock. in which case nefarian is a bit better because of the chance to auto win with sac pac.

Meta changes the moment you switch your deck.

Saraad + Master of Disguise combo :D
