Crowd Roaster is definitely one of the better neutrals in this set. If we reword the text on the card just a little, we can sort of see this card being a 7/4 minion with divine shield and rush, similar to Argent Commander. You basically get almost double the damage, and almost double the stats on the body for just 1 additional mana. Now I realize Argent Commander doesn't see too much play outside of even decks, but this is surprisingly a much better deal that it's pushed enough to see some play. Add on the fact that it's also a dragon - a good creature type - and you got a nice 7 mana card that's going to net you a 2-for-1 most games.
And while something like Vilespine Slayer is more powerful due to the unrestricted nature of the card, I feel like Crowd Roaster is a pretty damn close comparison, and any class that supports dragons can play it. People might complain about the 7/4 body, but that's certainly better than a 3/4 Vilespine. Your basically getting 4 more stats while not being able to target 8+ health minions, minions with divine shield, etc. Don't get me wrong - Vilespine is better - but they are similar cards as Vilespine is often not played turn 5 anyway.

Wait, what about C'Thun?
We know that the buff is not specifically tied to any individual C'Thun (because even if you shuffle new copy of C'Thun into your deck it will retain the global buff), but we also know that C'Thun is buffed even when he is in your hand or deck, so after this update will i get a 6/6 C'Thun or fully buffed one if i manage to copy my opponent's C'Thun?

It's auto craft to any new player, you literally pay 1600 dust and get (random) tier 4-2 deck (most of those decks cost 5000+ dust to make).
It will never see any competitive play, but it's probably the best card ever released for beginners.
