Since so many people are divided on this card I decided to do an analysis. I added up all the cards in standard, plus the new cards that have been revealed so far.  That gives us the following chart which shows how many minions there are for each mana slot, and a quick calculation gives you what percentage of the time he will transform to a given mana slot at the beginning of your turn.

Using this data I quickly added up the percentages to find out how often Zerus will be on curve for a given turn.  I start with turn 2 since he is always a 1/1 for 1 mana on turn 1.  Technically that would make him 100% playable on turn 1, though you'd probably only ever play him on turn 1 if you are up against extreme aggro.

So from the following data you can see that by turn 4 you are going to have a fairly good chance of playing him. However that is taking into account every card that is playable, you are probably not really going to consider a wisp on turn 4 "playable", so you should really look at the on curve percentage to see if it is actually playable.  

But it's actually worse than that too, because some on curve cards are actually going to be quite bad.  Let's be generous and say that half of the cards are quite good (If someone would like to give more accurate numbers for each slot that'd be even better.) That gives us the following chart.

Looks like this card doesn't have a very high chance on any given turn of being on curve and a card which is worth playing, however I'm probably being a little too harsh on the turns after turn 6, as you'd probably be happy with any sort of late game card at that point.  Even with that taken into account though you are looking at about a 1 in 10 chance on any given turn that this is even a card which makes you think about playing it that turn.  

And in terms of using him as a counter tech card (the best argument I've heard for him so far), the math is quite easy. He has a 1/424 (0.24%) chance of being the card you are looking for. That means for every 424 games in which you need the counter, you can expect 1 game to go in your favor. You are better off running that kezan mystic.

20:00 doesn't say much in a forum with users from all over the world..

I, personally, felt more hype and excitement during the previous expansion's card reveal method, where they were put next to one another and we could only see their rarity and card picture. You had to vote for the card you wanted, it was like a war between the cards, it was much more exhilarating and suspense creating.

Why do you all think that Blizzard should reveal cards on fixed time and i even read here that it should be in one language :/ 

OK let's imagine that is a good idea. What time should it be? Evening California time and all cards in english just because it's the center of the world? I'd say China has 40-45% of 40m players worldwide, players there use weibo and do not play in English. They give Blizzard a major % of revenues. But some California guy wants all cards revealed personally for him 6 pm daily? Nice logic :)

Involving streamers and media in announcements leads to global hype and ensures that more and more people know about game. A colleague of mine started playing 2 weeks ago after reading some promo article on a site. New players. Returning players. That's the goal. 

Recent scientific research shows that people who say "kappa" at least once a day have an IQ of 90 and below (100 being the average IQ). People who say and/or write the word more than five times a day posses an IQ of 70 and below.

The world's top scientist took a group of 50 people who use the word "kappa" daily. half of them were instructed to avoid using the word for the next month, while the others were instructed to use it as many times as they could. The results of this experiment revealed that the people who stopped using the word had their IQ increased by at least 10 points, while the other half had their IQ reduced by at least 10 points.

Ancient Greek philosophers wrote about the word and described it as "The hatred of wisdom", in other words, the exact opposite of the word "philosophy", which means "love of wisdom". Socrates wrote in one of his recently discovered texts, and I quote:

"Thou should not live to say kappa, thou should say kappa to live".

Barack Obama was secretly interviewed about his "It is time for a change" speech. If you reverse a part of the interview, when he talks about how he was raised in middle classed family, you can hear the words: "The kappa is a lie".

Some very heavily severe cases show that if a person hears and use the word way too much, it can become the only known word in his vocabulary. But those are very distinct and extremely rare cases.

It is fundamentally clear that the word "kappa" is one that should be avoided at all costs. What is its heritage? Where did it come from? Maybe we'll never know. But we do know this: Kappa needs to be destroyed.

Nevermind the fact that it overshadows most of the other cards in the same cost AND higher cost. Get out with the "Dr.Boom is a foundation for every deck", a 1 mana 6/6 would also be a good foundation for every deck and there is no difference. If you want cookie cutter games/matches then maybe you should play tic tac toe with your friends.

I noticed a lot of people seemed to be confused by the new legendary, Brann Bronzebeard, since he has a fairly unique effect. I made a sort of extensive comment on the card page itself, and since people are still asking questions, I figured I'd copy what I put there into the forum.

Did some testing with various effects:

Targeted battlecries (Fire Elemental) do not allow you to choose a different target when they activate a second time. This makes cards like Cabal Shadow Priest pretty useless to activate twice.

Randomly targeted battlecries (Bomb Lobber) will randomly select another target when they activate a second time.

Stat-buff battlecries (Twilight Drake) will double the stats they receive as a result of their effect. I don't have The Mistcaller, so since he has a fairly unique effect, I'm unsure the same applies to the cards in your deck and your hand when you play him.

Battlecries that summon minions (Dr. Boom, of course) will summon twice as many minions as usual (except Echoing Ooze, scroll down).

Weapons with battlecries (Coghammer) work fine.

Combo does not count as a battlecry for the purposes of this mechanic, except for Perdition's Blade. It works like you would expect any battlecry to, even when its combo effect is active.

Crazed Alchemist and similar cards swap their target's stats twice, basically doing nothing.

Cards like Faceless Manipulator do not activate twice since the battlecry minion is removed. I'm not sure what they'd do anyway.

Cards with activation conditions that may be altered when they are played (Mind Control Tech) must meet the same minimum conditions necessary to activate at first when they trigger a second time. For instance, a MC tech played against four minions will only steal one, but when played against 5+ minions, it will steal two, since there will still be four minions on the board even after it activates once. Some cards may be useless to activate twice for this reason, like Dark Iron Skulker.

I have not explicitly tried it, but I imagine that Dark Iron Skulker would not damage minions spawned after a deathrattle (Haunted Creeper's Spectral Spiders), even if the first battlecry kills the deathrattle minion. Since battlecries activate before deathrattles, the Skulker's second battlecry would presumably trigger before the Spectral Spiders are spawned. I suppose that he could still hit minions with divine shield twice, though.

Also, yes, Injuired Kvaldir and Injured Blademaster kill themselves, so don't play Brann as a priest. XD

Void Terror does not destroy twice as many minons, instead, it buffs itself with the stats of its original targets twice, potentially making for some very high numbers.

Cost altering cards (Loatheb and Saboteur) will successfully increase or decrease their respective costs by twice the usual amount.

Unearthed Raptor multiplies the effects of a deathrattle by two. If you use another raptor on the first. you can have 4x the original deathrattle, and, if you had unlimited raptors, you could multiply a deathrattle infinitely.

Joust battlecries still count as battlecries (despite the fact that they're weird) and they will activate twice; so for example, King's Elekk could give you two chances to draw a minion. The same principle applies to the discover mechanic (Jeweled Scarab) and other battlecries that draw cards (Coldlight Oracle draws four).

At last is Echoing Ooze, since its effect seems to be the source of some confusion. The battlecry effect of the ooze applies a buff to itself which, at the end of the turn, activates and then terminates itself. It is fairly similar to Ragnaros, except its effect is not recurring. Evidently, if Brann does allow the ooze to apply the buff to itself twice, the second has no effect - there is either no stacking whatsoever or the activation of the first effect terminates the second as well. Either way, it may or may not be intended, since it is the only minion-summoning battlecry that will not activate twice.

Edit: Choose One effects will not activate twice when used with Brann.
