Cubelock players in Wild are probably salivating this right now.
Could be crazy with Boommaster Flark.
(in Wild)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Zoolock might like this, but it still seems a bit too costly. You're effectively playing a 3-mana Grim Rally. If you don't actually kill it immediately it is vulnerable to silence, meaning you just played a 3/4 that wiped your own board and you should probably surrender.
What also doesn't help is that Scarab Egg and [Hearthstone Card (Grim Rally rotate) Not Found] which makes this a lot less appealing. The only direct synergies right now are [Hearthstone Card (Sea Serpent Egg) Not Found] and EVIL Genius (and maybe Void Terror if you can go that slow).
Maybe Demon Hunter can do something with this, they have a bit of synergy with sacrificing their own minions.
Quest Hunter could also probably use this to accelerate their quest (but it's kind of slow).
Either way, if this is actually good, people will run Silence which would then make this terrible.

Ooooooooo Deathrattle Hunter wants this!!! Theorycrafting here we go!
Since Spellbreaker is being HOF’ed, this might be less vulnerable to silence than it initially seems
Seems weird... Don't think it's meant for Tempo Decks. Like, a boardwide Buff is great, but you'd have to play this Card and then ALSO destroy it.
I think it's better as a Mass-Deathrattle-Activator, kind of like a neutral Feign Death.

Carnivorous Cube on steroids.
This is nuts for any DR class, chiefly Priest, Warlock, Hunter (mostly Wild), Rogue.
Actually, this is nuts period.
Finally, a new card for my deathrattle hunter deck. This card is insane with Necromechanic, Play Dead, and Terrorscale Stalker.
I eat your fast food spare changes when you sleep.
That's probably why Leeroy got HoF. But it still works well with charge and rush minions. Yeah, that's a real flexible legendary. Gonna see how many decks will try to get this in.
Favorite card of the set so far. It's finally time to craft Umbra. And boy, that would be an awesome golden legendary to pull from the preorder!
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

Not to spoil the fun, but I don't think this will work with Umbra. The Battlecry will destroy her.

I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.
Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
As someone have already stated, you want to kill it on the turn it's played unless you have a DR trigger in hand. You either give your board away for a turn or are very vunerable to silcence/hex effects. Spiritsinger Umbra or Reckless Experimenter won't work since they are dead. High potental for sure but seems clunky.
Meta Defining
Extremely versatile. Warlock and Hunter's new darling.
A+
Interesting mechanic. Good thing that spell breaker get a one way ticket to wild I guess. But I still think it's too risky if you don't immediately pop it yourself. Not conviced yet.

I want to know how Spiritsinger Umbra would work with this. If it responds the same way as Carnivorous Cube, then the trigger stack would make it really awesome. However, Hearthstone doesn't seem to utilize the order of a trigger stack so I'm thinking that it would only really be useful in swarm decks if you can kill it the turn you play it.
Thoughts from anyone else?
That's an understatement ^^
Also, the flavor text killed me :
'' You’re fine, friendly minions! You're fine! Don’t tell Mom! ''
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This card is insane! Besides the obvious synnergy with deathrattle cards, Teron Gorefiend can also allow for some interesting combos.
Shouldn't it be 'destroy all other friendly minions'? Unless it's supposed to kill itself too?
This card seems very strong in Deathrattle based decks, lets hope we'll see some good support.
It just struck me that this card could be THE deathrattle activator for Prime legendaries. You avoid silence effects and get another Akama or whomever. Nasty!
This is one of those cards where I'll rate it well, but only because the effect seems strong. I have no idea where exactly this goes or if it will work, but if all goes to plan this guy is terrifying. Catch me running Consume Magic.

Really scary against aggro decks. Save your silence cards for this.
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.
I feel like this is being slept on. It might not work now but I know this will be a great card later, it just has so many opportunities to be great.
Any deck that summons small copies of big minions wants this, Quest Paladin or cards like Mirage Caller.
Egg/Token Deathrattle Decks.
It even works great against Doomsayer!
Right now I can only see it being slot into Quest Paladin and the new Beast Hunter. I'm really interested in this card and would love to hear other places people think this can go.

This is a tempo suicide.. and there doesn't seem to be some really good deathrattles currently to use this well.. in cube hunter it could've been good I think.
this would be pretty sick with cube lock but in standard i don't see this being a playable card consider why would you want to clear a nice board if you are already leading..
A cool build-around card that probably won't be too overpowered. These are the types of neutral legendaries that I want to see more of.
Strong card that remember Carnivorous Cube . Work very well with egg and to save board from some board clear like Mage dormant. If the deck can activate the deathrantle more than one time, it's a insane value
Well, obviously they had to wait for all the deathrattle mechs to rotate out, before printing this insane card.
Teron + ??? + Play Dead + Feign Death = win the game, probably.
In terms of more regular use, this can probably go into a midrange deck as a way of effectively delaying board wipes if the opponent has no silence. Otherwise, you just avoided a board wipe by wiping your own board for them.
This post is discussing the wild format.
OH this effect is just too cool.
Egg decks will probably have a lot of fun with this card, but you'll need to be careful not to leave him open to silence or transform effects
I checked every comment here but really couldn't that and kind of disappointed.
This has great synergy with High Inquisitor Whitemane at exact 10 mana. Summon them and summon them again.
On paper tho. When you do this combo, your opponent will probably kill Teron Gorefiend and all of +1/+1 versions will disappear(sadly).
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
There is a lot of deathrattle, including Teron Gorefiend and prime minions, so I think developers want the deathrattle to activate on a large percentage, because it seems those effects are vey important on this (and future) expansions.
Since i guess that the next meta will be hard on silence, i guess it will hinder this otherwise interesting effect.
Like most utility cards and legends, this is much more potent in Wild than in Standard. Hunters and Cubelocks adore this card.
In standard, though, this is useful for playing around things like Doomsayers and other board clears, though it's high-risk against classes that feature silence effects like Priest and Demon Hunter.
Ironbeak Owl will definitely stand against a strong DR meta.
The birb is still good enough against very strong and/or recurring DR targets.
Yet obviously Teron is a great card. You don't even need particular synergy to gain Tempo from him.
Probably gonna see play in an egg deck, but beyond that I don’t think it’ll see much play
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Seems rather risky, but will likely shine in Wild with cards like Baron Rivendare.
An interesting buildaround card. I could see you playing this with a bunch of eggs to get a huge swing, or in a deck that can kill it the same turn they play it to just get a small buff + trigger deathrattles.
This card is just too unique and interesting not to be played in some deck.
