    If you could decide exactly when to corrupt it, it would be very flexible and could see play. Maybe it still will, mainly in Corrupt decks.

    seems solid 4 dmg targeted on a 3/4? that's Flanking Strike+! the non corrupt effect could be used vs aggressive burn decks

    Seems like it could be good in a mid-range deck where you might be slower and need the heal against aggro, but then switch to damage/board control against slower decks. Cool use of corruption.

    I think this is an extremely cool idea.  The notion of being able to decide if you want/need the heal vs do you see things on the field that need to be shot.

    In this meta you'll probably favor the 4 healing on turn 4....

    Living like that.

    The healing isn't bad, but healing 4 life for 4 mana is pretty slow. Shroom Brewer only barely made the cut in some warlock decks that were desperate for healing, so I don't think this will be played for heal very often. The damage is pretty good for a neutral card, but the Corrupt makes it rather awkward to play. All in all I don't think it will be played a lot. But who knows, maybe the flexibility of it will make it more attractive to certain decks.

    Very strong and flexible card that can heal when against aggro and deal damage when against everything else.

    Reminds me of Shroom Brewer, who was played solely for the 4 heal. This one does that and can potentially be even better. I expect to see more of this card in ranked, maybe in rogue and warlock the most.

    Wish it were also a taunt. But then it would be completely broken wouldn't it?

    I love cards where you don't always want the "morphed" version, for example this is just good for any control deck that looks for sustain (too bad you there are situations where you won't be able to avoid corrupting and you wanted the healing)

    This is a neat design for a Corrupt card. Some classes may want the healing depending on the meta, and a 4 mana 3/4 that deals 4 damage is quite strong.

    LOL!

    You're right, the flavor of this card is great, but I'm not sure how good it will really be.

    Seems decent in a midrange deck, but i think it's more of a arena card. I don't know what kind of deck wants this... And if you want it for healing, keeping it uncorrupted is going to be hard. I do like the flavor though.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Even Blizz acknowledges the OTK potential of this card with the new recipe. It seems good and it's not even close to perfected. I am sure we'll see some very good combo decks with this and N'Zoth.

    Nice, but no existing archetype deck to put it in though.

    Battlecry Shaman will love this card! Either 8 healing or 8 damage, and a body.

    Loved seeing the Shaman OTK with this. Don't know if its a competitively viable deck, but the fact that the combo pieces also help control the board is quite scary.

    I like OTK decks, and this looks like a decent (TTK) one pops up for Quest Shaman with Tour Guide into next turn HP + Y'Shaarj + 4x Corrupted Circus Medic going face.

    Decently flexible card for multiple deck types. The problem would be if you need it for healing and it is already corrupted, you are out of luck. I think it would fit best in a midrange style. Aggro decks probably wouldn't run cards high enough mana to corrupt this.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    Solid card for Midrange decks, but I think it's a Warlock Class card in disguise, as there's plenty of use for a 4 heal or a 4 damage whether you're going Zoo or Control.

    A very versatile card.  I think that it could see some play in highlander lists, most likely hunter and mage because they don't have good health restoration.

    This with Knife Vendor is a LOT of burn potential between just 4 card. Tho i would imagine that aggro decks would probably go the Vendor route, since it does not have requirement.

    I do like this card for one simple reason, it might help get my control rogue on the board, if i dont end up corrupting the card in a wrong time :)) But i mean you can always play it first, right? Potentially copying, shuffling, bouncing the Corrupted version for bunch of "deal 4" looks like something i might want to try as well.

    The issue with Circus Medic is that, instead of increasing the impact of its effect, the corrupt effect changes "the mode" of the card. I actually think you'd like the damage earlier and the healing later in a slower deck. However, there is some fringe potential in Quest Shaman with a Y'Shaarj, the Defiler OTK, but I don't see this anywhere else.

    The combo with Dunk Tank and Y’shaarj makes me happy that Shaman is getting a potential Tier 2/3 deck depending on how much aggro is in the meta.

    Versatile card.

    Can help you healing at early against aggro and dealing face damage at late against control.

    I don't know if will see play at constructed meta decks, but will be used at memeot decks for sure.

    Love flexible cards, this one fits perfect on this category. I think that classes like warrior, rogue and even druid will has at least one of this in almost every deck.

    Another card that makes you decide whether to corrupt it or not. I like that corrupting it is not always better, but instead gives you more choices

    Apparently the theorycrafters already found a way to break this card in an OTK with Y'Shaarj and the Shaman Quest. I doubt that deck becomes too much of a thing, but this is still a very good card (and might see a nerf if that deck ends up being too good).

    Very strong and flexible for some emergency, use heal, if not can be a minon killer or face damage

    Very good
