There was so much Hate for Hagatha the Witch during the reveal stream... it drives me nuts how narrow minded the hearthstone community is. Lets take a few minutes to go over a few of the reasons why Hagatha the Witch should be an instant craft for any Shaman Player.
Lets talk about the battlecry first. Deal 3 damage to all minions. This feels really underwhelming on turn 8 BUT if you are able to make trades with your minions first you are very likely to make good use of that three damage. Don't forget combos with this battle cry, with ten mana you can first cast a Murmuring Elemental and then Hagatha the Witch for 6 damage to all minions. I think the battlecry is perfectly balanced because of the strength of the hero power.
Bewitch !!!
Guys, this is amazing. MANY of shaman control cards happen to be Minions and thus interact perfectly with the hero power. I can already hear some of you saying, 'shaman spells are horrible!!!" I would agree with you if they are cast on a random target... we are looking at you The Runespear... but if we are in control of the random spells then it is a different story.
So what kind of deck would I put Hagatha the Witch in? CONTROL SHAMAN!!!
Control shaman has a ton of tools with lots of healing, removal and AOE. What it was lacking was reliable card draw/generation and Hagatha brings that to us for the late game.
I will be experimenting with a elemental shaman deck using Hagatha the Witch. I can see cards like Grumble, Worldshaker with the core shaman elementals being very nasty.

Animal Companion for Warrior. Warrior needs more aggressive early drops for aggro/midrange warrior.
Flamewaker for Rogue.

Warsong Commander is simply unviable.

Warlock. Handlock limits control decks design imo.

I suggest using cards like Kor'kron Elite ,Axe Flinger instead of situational cards like Charge ,Rampage.

I suggest cutting one Battle Rage ,1 Fiery War Axe, 1 Dread corsair and add in tougher minions.

3 mana 2/3 battlecry: the next non-legendary warrior minion you play gain Charge. Magnataur alpha new meta?

How about change her into 3mana 2/3 Battlecry: Give the next Charge minion you play +2/+2? This might make Korkron Elite useful as a removal and minion.(Note that the charge minion does not necessary have to be played on the same turn with her.) The total stats including battlecry is 4/5 which is more than an average 3 drop but remember playing her as a 3mana 2/3 is a bit of a tempo loss , although the 2 damage increase on the charge minion is quite a lot because it has immediate impact when the charge minion is played ,I think this can be justified by the fact that this is a class card.
