As a standalone card, this is great value, but average tempo. 5/5 rush is good, but for 6 mana slightly overpriced. But you get a second one without spending a deckslot and it affects the board immediately. Seems reasonable in hunter. Maybe you can even put the +3/+3 and shuffle 3 cards in your deck spell on it to get a 8/8 rush twinspell (the twin will prob be 5/5).
And as others have said, the most obvious synergy is Zuljin. I think this card will be played.
It'll be the minion that gets shuffled, not the spell. It'll be a 5 Mana 8/8 rush beast, which is very good
Your dudes are still dead to hellfire and most board clears
No they aren’t. This foils all sorts of board clears, INCLUDING Hellfire, Blizzard, Flamestrike, Defile, Blastwave. You can’t assume that the board is filled with 1/1’s just cause you are playing against Paladin.
A 5/5 for 5 with rush wouldn't see play. Adding 1 Mana for "Battlecry: draw a bad card" doesn't make it any more tempting. Might work in a Zul'jin value/control deck, but, I don't think that will be any good
it looks like a decent midrange card, great in wild spell hunter, that's for sure.
it's a high value card, 5/5 rush is around 4.5 mana (militia commander), but you get for 1.5 "draw a card"
how is a 5/5 rush minion worth 4.5 mana!?!?
you can determine how much a minion will cost by adding up their stats, then dividing it by two. then you can account for their keywords and abilities. so a 5/5 minion would be worth 5 mana, and adding rush will not decrease the value by .5
Militia Commander was 4 mana because the 5 attack could not go face. it could only trade for the 5 attack. this can hit your opponents face for 5 damage. and therefore, is worth more mana.
Your equation is used to find "fair" cards, which don't cut it anymore.
It can't be overstated how insane it is to discover a legendary treasure. People ran Marin the Fox, which was also 3 stats behind vanilla, and killing a chest is a similar to controlling a lackey, so if this card gave you a random treasure, it would be similar power level to Marin. But this lets you choose one, which is just insane. Those treasures were balances around getting them randomly; being able to get a full hand from nothing, or to get refill your board with two huge bodies, or whichever effect you want, reliably, is just unbelievable. I'll gladly run some weak Lackey cards if it lets me play this.
I was hoping they would spread out the reveals more so we had several weeks of several cards a day. Instead, they condensed it even further, giving us several long droughts. Disappointing, imo

So can we all agree that this definitely originally summoned Boom Bots or dealt random damage or something until really late in development?

Really solid overall card, and Priest is gonna need cards like that one the rotation hits
