Just what you need for glinda + mechwarper + magnetic OTK.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this(read first 3 pages), but with how the card reads, you'll need all minions with the listed cost in your deck for this card to get you any minions so you'll need at least 2 of each 7,8,9 and 10 costed minions in the deck list to have it consistently proc. With that said, the decks this goes into may end up being clunky and getting destroyed by aggressive builds.

 You don't have to utilize the value of the card fully.You just have to draw what you need.

 Exactly, for togwaggle druid this card basically reads "Win the game next turn" (assuming you have 9 mana the turn it's played)

Could they not make the nerfs so boring?  The current dreadsteed is just lame.  It's a worse version of Moroes!  Dreadsteed was magical for being a body you can kill and resummon multiple times in one turn.  How about this: it only resummons after defile is finished doing its clearing.  So when defile stops casting, ONLY THEN does it get summoned, and then the turn continues.  Boom!  Doesn't get weaker, and the broken interaction is gone.

I don't know how to fix shadowboxer but their nerf is garbage.  "Lifesteal combo?  oH, ummm, yeah no you can't do that."  Lifesteal was one of the best things to happen to heal-synergy cards in a while.

 Moroes can be removed with any AOE, dreadsteed has to be silenced to be removed. And dreadsteed never saw any real play either.

Shadowboxer + Zillax is a 7 mana reno that also damages for whatever it heals. You don't see a problem with that?

They're nerfing a card that doesn't currently see any play because there'll be problematic interactions. The card will continue to see no play, and would've only potentially seen play because of a broken interaction...

It's playable in Even Paladin right now, which btw is the top deck at the moment.

There's other 8 drop options for this deck (like lich king), but tirion is a pretty solid choice for the slot.

The real issue here is dark pact.

It reminds me of the interaction between Tunnel Trogg and overload back in the heyday of aggro shaman. A mechanic that's supposed to be a downside suddenly becomes an upside. I can't even count the number of games I've won because lava burst and lightning bolt was 7 and 4 damage because I had a trogg on board.

Dark pact is supposed to have a downside by destroying an own minion, NOT an upside in exchange for such a powerful heal. It should read "Silence and then destroy a friendly minion, restore 8 health to your hero."

The issue dark pact currently causes is it makes it so you can't interact with lackeys and cubes since they're destroyed the same turn they're played. Without dark pact being able to trigger the deathrattles, the opponent has an opportunity to silence the minion, or just avoid destroying the minion for a while.

Definitely worth crafting. It will be meta defining for the next 2 years

Even paladin is the best deck in standard right now, even shaman is T1 in wild.

If anything you should spend more on the first expansion after rotation, and the least on the last expansion of the year, since the first one stays in standard the longest.

I would expect a REALLY bad statted 10 drop with Witchwood. Blizz know Spiteful Summoner is a problem, and will be looking for a way to make it backfire. I'd like to see a couple of 10 mana minions with stupidly powerful battlecries and trash stats in the next expansion personally. Failing that, a severely negative deathrattle. Something along the lines of a 20/20 with "Deathrattle: Destroy all your Mana Crystals".

That would be so awesome. Hungry Crab meta, till everyone switches back to Thrall.
