As someone who enjoys making random hunter combo decks and often uses a secret hunter core to survive in the early/mid game, I'm happy whenever they add another way to pull secrets out and thin the deck. Good stuff.
Infiltrator Lilian could actually be insane. Especially if you kill their last minion with the 2/2 rush body so that the 4/2 it summons hits face.
Also randomly noticed that you can drop Ashtongue Slayer to deal 5 damage to a minion or face, then play a deathrattle, this transforms, and can attack again. This card has so many interesting uses it is actually insane.
Interesting that this would gain divine shield from copying Taelan Fordring
Also could be used as a 4 damage board clear that does 6 damage to one target when combined with Explosive Sheep. Since the copy will have rush and will kill the other sheep. Would require a control rogue deck to make use of it though, of course.
Trying to think of the more strange uses for the card, btw. In standard, this would of course be used in a more straightforward tempo deck.

Could result in some crazy value if used with Felosophy.

Great combo'd with Lightspawn, Terrorguard Escapee, Doomsayer, Moonfang, and watch posts, etc...

Remember when you had to run a highlander deck and wait til turn 10 for this effect?

Can set up a huge tempo swing turn using Corpse Widow in wild.

Reviving Tundra Rhino with this for only 3 mana opens up a lot of big finishing plays for Hunter.

I'm already sick of this card...

So, if I'm correct, you would also heal if you happen to kill a 9 hp taunt or something with this?

You can still use geddon in a DK Jaina deck for the life steal c:

Neat effect. I like the flavor.

After looking the standard card pool over, it looks like possible "viable" options would be Teron Gorefiend, Cold Blood, Nitroboost Poison, Abusive Sergeant, Wriggling Horror, Backstab, Stockades Guard, and Crazed Alchemist. Honestly, more options than I was expecting.

Don't forget about Nerubian Egg. You can coin this out turn 1 and play the egg on turn 2 for some crazy value.
That said, I only play wild, so I'm not sure how many methods there are to hatching your 0/2 egg in standard.
Edit: Also, Akama is still in standard. It's not immediate tempo, but its still something.

Coerce is better for tempo decks that have a board presence since Snowed In freezes your own minions too.

I was wondering how they could make a late game hero card that competes with DK Guldan or Jrax in value.
Making it more of a midrange card was a good choice.
