idk … the card is good but not in tempo decks. Imho the risk of actually losing tempo (by playing let’s say Frost Bolt on your own minion) is too high.
I see this in midrange decks that use a selection of spells you’ll benefit from regardless of rng outcome.

One Rogue value card after another. No defensive tools whatsoever. So… we’ll either get a control meta, Rogue takes a seat on the bench for a while or the class once again uses it’s Classic and Basic card pool to stay competitive.

Don’t you get 3 cards? I’m always confused by the wording ‘shuffle a card’…
Plot Twist
This is a card for a diverse meta that allows Warlock to play more one-of-tech choices. Someone here said it’s a day 1 meta card, he might be right.
Besides that, might be tested in Wild Renolock because, well, there are more specific cards that you’d like to have at certain times (or want to shuffle away, vice versa).

If this is Wild Priest’s 1st pull, gets killed and resurrected, it will then summon a copy of itself, right!?
That sounds scary. Still not sure if it will see play there, but there are versions of BP playing Kel’thuzad and Katrina will replace him.

I really like the Warrior Spirit interaction but that deck (Rush Warrior) has other problems on turns 8/9 than enemy boards ( they should’ve been cleared already).
Besides that, all is said about the card. It’s a decent board clear but not quiet Primordial Drake level. That said, the Drake is premium material, so this should see constructed play.

A mechanical ostrich? Sweet!
More suitable for Wild than Standard, as long as Paladin doesn’t get new card draw.

Some secrets benefit from this Legendary. Some don’t. As simple as that.
And yes, Repentance and Autodefense Matrix don’t work with Rhyssa. ๐

It works okay with a wide array of minions. Walking Fountain, Zilliax, Al’Akir were already mentioned, but even something like Scarab Egg or Mana Tide Totem doesn’t look too shabby when copied with this.
Walking Fountain
This is how a well balanced class common should look.
Sweet turn 10 play with Earthen Might, although I don’t know if there is a deck that wants to include both cards.
Control Shaman might actually play 2 of those alongside Zilliax.
Mana Cyclone
Maybe add Mana Addicts? ๐
Sadly, it seems that all hope is lost for Archmage Arugal. No more support for ‘Spell-less’ Mage. ๐

Funny enough, it’s those cards that differenciate digital from paper card games.
Imagine something like that in (traditional) MtG … not possible. Same goes for all discover cards and most of the other rng effects.
What I’m trying to say: rng cards is what defines Hearthstone and makes it unique.

Oaken Summons Target that doubles as a combo breaker.
I like it, but I don’t know if it’s good enough.
Sludge Slurper
Good 1 drop that’s not totally useless in the mid-/lategame.
I like it!
Worth noting that there is the possibility that one of the new minions is the one destroyed … So, not so much ‘anti’ but a cool card for mage to play with. Kadghar synergy was already mentioned.
