I guess it's because the game gives you the information that that specific card is Aranasi Broodmother when it is drawn (due to the health), and because of that uncovers it. But yeah, it is kind of strange since this is not the case with other cards of which you know its identity (like The Coin or sapped minions). Does this bug also occur after an Aranasi Broodmother gets transformed with Demonic Project?
Why exactly is Tier 2 called "Tech"? A lot of the cards in the tier are not tech cards (Magic Carpet, Murloc Warleader, etc.) while a lot of cards in the other tiers are tech cards (Hungry Crab, E.M.P. Operative, etc.). I would suggest renaming Tier 2 to something like "Good" in order to avoid confusion.
Blizzard has shown many times that their preferred way of nerfing cards is to increase the mana cost. Based on this, I think the following nerfs will take place:
Zilliax: 5 -> 6 mana. Simply fits in too many decks.
Raiding Party: 3 -> 4 mana. Too cheap of a targeted draw.
OR
Preparation: 0 -> 1 mana. Less of a problem than Raiding Party, but blizz loves to nerf the classic set.
The great thing about hungry crabs in this meta is that many decks that are not necessarily Murloc decks still run Hench-Clan Hogsteed, which provide a tasty 1/1 murloc for the crab to gobble up.
I tried, but could never quite get this one to work.
Too bad; it is fun, but even with Lyra just not quite enough.
There was this list which centered around a combo with Test Subject, Seance, Topsy Turvy and Radiant Elemental to basically fill your board with 5/5 dragons from Dragon Soul each turn. Maybe check it out in the last few hours of Year of the Raven :)
I worry that this many 1-ofs hurt the consistency of the deck, and that your only protection against aggro decks are the AoEs (Lightning Storm, Hagatha's Scheme, Doomsayer). You have very little tools which impact the board in the first three turns, which I see being particularly scary against Murloc Shaman, which can get out of control very quickly. Maybe add in Zap, Rockbiter Weapon or Voltaic Burst for some early-game single target removal? Probably instead of Sandbinder and Omega Mind, which I see as being the weakest cards in the list.
This is very similar to a Zoo-type Priest that Firebat once showed on deck doctor. I think Unidentified Elixir would be a great addition to this deck, maybe instead of SSC?
Most of the existing archetypes will be completely gutted, which is actually very exciting. This means that everybody has to construct completely new decks. Last rotation everybody just kept playing Cubelock. However, some archetypes that have been in the game since classic will likely still be very playable, such as Control Warrior, Miracle Rogue, Midrange Hunter and Zoolock.
Blood Razor, Scourgelord Garrosh, Rotface. Self-damage warrior was one of my favourite decks to come out of KoFT, and I'm very sad that it got little support afterwards, save a few cards like Redband Wasp.
I love garrosh. Imo he's one of the most balanced death knights. Also dead man's hand. I loved playing fat warrior during kft - my win-rate was awful, but those grindy wins were oh so sweet :)
The great thing about Scourgelord Garrosh is that he's no infinite value generator like Rexxar, Jaina or Gul'Dan, and that his hero power is not a straight upgrade like Uther or Malfurion. Garrosh and Thrall were unique in that you couldn't just jam them on the board and improve your position in the game, but instead you always needed to weigh up the pros and cons of changing your hero power. DMH Warrior was an insane deck, which required true mastery of the game to win with. Watching Trump play it are some of my favourite videos of his.

As for myself, it depends mostly on my pulls, but I'm very interested in Control Shaman, Murloc Shaman, Midrange Hunter, Control Warrior and Dragon Paladin. But it will mostly depend on which Legendaries I pull from my packs (f2p).

EVIL Miscreant: 3 -> 4 mana.
Archivist Elysiana: 8 -> 10 mana. Makes sure it can't be shuffled again, 9 mana would give too much of an advantage to the player with the coin,
Brawl: 5 -> 6 mana. Blizz loves to nerf the classic set.
I don't play wild, so I can't talk for that format.

Lackey Rogue and Token Druid seem to be the strongest decks without any really bad matchups. They also have pretty fast games.

What would you advise as a budget replacement for Stargazer Luna? Gadgetzan, second Fireball? Or is she irreplaceable?

I am intrigued, which OTK are you talking about?
