"Faceless Overlord has the most friends on social media of all the Hearthstone minions"
Explanation:
Ok it is a 5 mana 6/6 and can't actually do anything. However there are so many synergy possibilities as it basically is all minion race types in one card. So it will fit in almost any deck. It can be buffed by any race affected card.
For instance if there are a Mechwarper and a Ship's Cannon on the board; Faceless Overlord will cost 1 less and the Ship's Cannon will deal 2 damage as well when you play it.
Other card with synergy: Tundra Rhino, Murloc Tidecaller, Mal'Ganis, Blackwing Technician and many more. I think you guys get the idea.
(edit= I added some capitals in the card text).

Are you sure with the execute and shadow word thing? Cuz when spellbender takes the hit they die anyway

Too bad it's on the board only =.= It will still be a good contestant for zoo deck but......nah.....must say I'm pretty disappointed by this...
And fuck you Blizzard for another inconsistency in wording

This hard counter the whole buff theme...OP as fuck

It's a shame that it doesn't go well with Forbidden spells....

Apparently Blizzard has not learned from the Molten Giant Charge thing.....the problem wasn't just the then beyond-OP warsong, but also in the 0 mana 8/8 itself. Why on earth would you nerf molten giant in the first place but yet printing this card =.=
So let me sum up all the Top tier decks this card has made possible/improved:
Yogg Druid= All you need is a mark of nature/wild to taunt it up and you get insane midgame control.
Yogg-miracle Druid: (Almost) Guaranteed 0 mana 8/8
OTK Warrior: All you need is to play 8 spells and you get a 10 damage x 2 combo with just three cards, and not even requiring Emperor Thaurissan, plus the insane value of commanding shout get even more crazy as this deck work so well with the Grim Patron combo.
Miracle rouge: In most case you don't even need to have gang up, a shadowcaster will surfice.
Possible Tier 1.5 decks
Lock-and-load Secret Hunter: I don't even have to explain how many spells could a hunter gain in one game right?
Not calling for a nerf for this card yet, but some enablers has surely turned this from fringe-OP to FUCKING INSANE.

Must have anti-C-Thun/Slyvanas/Highmane tech card in non-sorcery classes (i.e. Paladin,warrior and druid)
One of the easy dust back pre-WoTOG is now the new BGH, not a single bit of regret crafting it for my new N'Zoth Pally and control warrior.

BGH is definitely coming back

Elusive has never been an expensive ability, and it clearly shouldn't be one for a legendary minion. I would say this card will actually NOT be OP even if it costs 7 mana( compare it with Twin Emperor, and consider the merit that it will bring TBK back to the meta), and it definitely should be a 8-mana minion.

Blizzard must realise how serious the problem is with Cursed Blade's very existence. Yes we can wait till next year when Grand Tournament is out of standard, but soon when WoG is out of standard than all the shitty weapons are coming back and this card will be forever haunted by those.
Seriously.....NOBODY plays Cursed Blade.....could Blizzard just fxxking removed it from the game....it literally cost you the game...and that risk is not justifiable. I've seen my opponent and myself getting cursed blade out from it....and the probability just doesn't looks right...it's almost like the eternal marriage of Rag-Sylvanas or pre-nerf: Dr.Boom- draw BGH probability...

Thrice in a roll this came out from my golden monkey-Malkrok when I'm fatiguing......FUCK THIS CARD
