Wait until nerfs, wait for 1-2 more weeks. Go to tempostorm or hsreplay and craft the cheapest tier 1 deck. Have fun (we know there is no fun in hearthstone :P )
For so long I resisted the urge to dust my golden Shatters, because they look so good and eventually the freeze synergy would reach critical mass where it's worth playing shatter.
I mean Starfire and Hammer of Wrath never saw play, I don't know what makes you think this card will. You'll get it from lyra as a decent outcome and thats it.
I would say you expect way too much reliability from your cards in a card game. Let's say you are playing against a secret mage and you have chameleos in your starting hand. From turn 1 to turn 3, it has turned into counterspell, kirin tor mage, fireball. The opponent played a kirin tor mage with a secret. Now, you will not assume it is counterspell. But lets say you popped the secret and it turned out to be Explosive Runes. Then the opponent played another secret, now the chance of it being counterspell is still not guarenteed but much higher. Obv. you will play around both secrets, but if the situation is close to hopeless you can choose to be more bold in your plays and play as if it is counterspell, especially in a setting it would make sense. It is not perfect information, but anything is a plus. The information doesn't cost you mana, you might argue it costs a card slot in your hand therefore it is a huge investment but see my next point for that:
I think this card will turn into something useful half of the time, but in cases where it has not turned into something useful you just don't play it. You just play something else, which you can afford. No card shines in all circumstances, this is no different. I think you are happy to play this when this turns into something like a frostbolt, a fireball, sorcerers apprentice, mana wyrm or something similar. You don't get too greedy with it, you play it as soon as it turns into something useful and the card has pulled it's own weight and helped you some little more. It sounds too unreliable to you right now, but even shifting scroll which can give you something not so useful half of the time pulls it's own weight. A card from your opponent's card pool will certainly pull it's own weight. And it's not like pros don't run cards like freezing potion or meteor as tech cards in secret mage, so even those outcomes are actually useful if the situation merits it.
Honestly just try shifting scroll in secret mage, don't expect much and you'll see chameleos will be even better. And I'm not even talking about low ranks, I played the card from 5+ rank to legend this month. If priest suffers from a lack of viability after rotation, then that's another thing altogether.
Even against current paladin, you can get a 1/1 divine shield taunt or a Rallying Blade or just a tempo 3/3 minion. Though I agree it's not among it's great matchups, but we'll have to see which paladin decks will be viable after rotation.
Actually a late game card, because you don't want to use it generally on turn 3-8 because you usually want to resurrect big minions. Re-summoning grizzly against aggro is good, but you'll probably want to combo it with charged devilsaur late game as a finisher.

I like it. But 1 Mass dispel should be enough, no need for 2. And do you need 2 mossy horrors?

Battlecries: Your Possessed Lackeys no longer become useless for the rest of the game.

Nice deck!

A card you run when people stop playing around it and a card you don't run when people begin playing around it.
