Finally got around to trying the new card and as some already know it's kind of broken in big priest. I put together a list and i ended up playing a rogue also using Vargoth and espionage. Needless to say it was ridiculous but spell stone granted me a full board with two Velen and multiple Vargoths. Here's the version I'm using in the last few days of standard:
I had a great game today against a c'thun warrior in which i completed the quest and then ended up playing fandral (for 0) then innervated into Cenarius. Then i also got to play Ancient of War and both of my Nourish, which as you can imagine drew me several more free minions =D It certainly won't happen often but it's basically a dream come true for this deck.
If you want to check it out and have some fun for yourself here's the deck.
A CLUTCH Gluttonous Ooze gave allowed me a huge upset against this pirate warrior. I ended up drawing exactly what i needed to take the victory, and it was fantastic. =D
Check it out if you want to see a pirate warrior struggle.
I think i have made the most fun deck i've played in hearthstone, in my opinion of course. Vilespine Slayer is so strong, and abusing the battlecry is too easy. I have played two taunt warriors with it today and both of them were crushed due to simply bouncing one vilespine the whole game, even after they completed the quest lol. It's actually not half bad on ladder if you can handle some tough decision-making and sequencing.
Played a game today that made my day, against a jade shaman. He simply could not do anything to stop my curve in this game. I played these cards in this order until he conceded on his 6th turn
My most recent game was just exhilarating. I was drawing cards with a gadgetzan acutioneer and free secrets, which lets me draw into my Tracking, which lets me select my 2nd copy of Lock and Load which draws me a card and gives me more cards following while i draw my whole deck. If that made no sense or if you are curious, here is the replay
0_0 Just won an insane game vs a reno dragon priest playing my wall(et)adin. Such a close match. I got the worst draw also, literally did not get any buff cards until my 11th turn on which i drew a Smuggler's Run.
I am pretty sure what helped win me the game is playing minions when they are buffed to 4 attack. Of course what really won me the game is a 13/16 Cyclopian Horror at the very end with fatigue. I think that we both got really sub-optimal draws, but i managed to easily overcome his Reno.
Check out the replay if you like, it was a very back and forth game. Most fun in a while.
Still playing paladin, and i have discovered that taunt warrior is old news.
Walladin boys!! Lol. Just too much fun buffing a hand full of taunts and filling it with Fight Promoters. It's pretty satisfying when aggro decks simply can not get through to your face =D

The outcome of this arena match was IMPRESSIVE!
So i was playing the latest flavor of pirate warrior with my big priest.
I had 6 health left with my lich king and Obsidian Statue on the board and whacked him with it, putting him at 16.
He has a Bittertide Hydra on board, so he trades into the lich king and takes the 3 damage putting him at 13.
He has a rusty hook still equipped from N'Zoth's First Mate, and clearly wants to play Mortal Strike for lethal, so he needs to take damage.
He attacks my only remaining minion, obsidian statue, assuming he can then hit me for lethal with mortal strike.
He plays mortal strike immediately and pauses for a few seconds, soon realizing he had healed my out of range by doing that. XD
Needless to say, i showed him who is the biggest.
Here's the replay if you want to watch it. https://hsreplay.net/replay/neM7GA2sPXimqA6b9gtHtB
Now that's a board state!
WOW. I was getting sick of mages so i tech in a single Eater of Secrets. Next game::::

It's not easy to play correctly, so expect a challenge. Yes, it is a quest druid deck. Yes, it can/does win games. Playing at rank 9 atm :)

I drafted an absolutely disgusting grimestreet paladin in arena tonight. (thanks for providing the image, jmxd)
screenshots from my first 3 games so far (3-0)
Buff magnet!
While playing c'thun taunt warrior, twice i got to choose Soggoth the Slitherer with I Know a Guy. Feelsgoodman. That's what i am talking about.
Edit: Ok this totally caught me off guard even though it obviously makes sense. I had C'Thun, Twin Emperor Vek'lor, Brann Bronzebeard, and then i drew a Stolen Goods. My C'Thun was at 8/8 and my Twin Emperor Vek'lor had been buffed to 6/8 already, and i thought it was pretty unfortunate i couldn't trigger the battlecry. So i play Stolen Goods expecting it to buff that, and it goes to C'Thun because i had played Twilight Geomancer earlier in the game! =D

Smuggler's Crate --> Kindly Grandmother --> Forlorn Stalker --> Dispatch Kodo --> Tundra Rhino --> Savannah Highmane.
He tried using Jade Claws and then Feral Spirit followed by TWO Lightning Storm XD He was pretty unlucky to do only 4 damage to my Tundra Rhino, leaving me free to destroy him with my beasts. GG
