This is an incredibly strong card in freeze mage. Freeze mage often struggles to drop Alexstrasza because doing so means you don't freeze the board or clear anything and so opponent goes to face. This card ensures you can both play a secret and play Alexstrasza at the same time.
For those of you more experienced players that have played freeze mage, think of how often you were stuck in a situation where you couldn't play Alexstrasza and had to instead control the board because you would die otherwise. Also think about how often during those times you had an ice block or ice barrier in hand. This card solves that problem in a lot of situations which is incredibly useful. I don't think the card is individually that powerful but it is very good in freeze mage, and expect it to be a staple in that deck.

I worry that shaman will become the best choice for aggro, midrange and control making it the best class in all 3 archetypes...
Shaman is consistently getting GREAT tools, where other classes are getting a few OK tools and maybe one or two GREAT tools.
Its aggro game is so overturned its topping the competitive ladder, if its midrange and control also top the ladder why play other classes competitively?
At this rate its going to be the only viable choice for competitive ):
I wouldn't be worrying if there had been a lot of rubbish cards to thin it out!

Nourish, the fact it disables fatigue (you can put it in as an anti-fatigue for any case and its only 1 slot).
Druid can draw quite a bit, like every class and with enablers like auctioneer and staghelm its very overpowered, insanely so.

coin a 4 mana 7/7 at turn 3 (it finds a way)

Not if you shuffle a reno!
But i'll admit defeat thereafter

I see it as a 3 mana counter to hand spam, if they play 3 minions in one turn, most likely they will all die to this card so it could easily be 3 for 1, for 3.
