I mean, you said it yourself, it won't be amazing since it's an 8 Mana card without Rush or Taunt. That isn't a fact aside from powercreep, it's a fact because of powercreep, this card not only prevents fatigue but it also refills your deck with absurdly high value cards. If any type of grindy deck existed this would make that the most powerful deck in the game.
But there is no deck like that, since late game in Hearthstone has moved away from value into tempo, play swing, answer swing etc. Feels like every deck is token Druid where if you can't keep up for one turn or clear the board for one turn you lose immediately.

Can Mayor Noggenfogger actually force an attack to a target that it cannot attack? Far as I know it doesn't work this way, the targets are random but within its limitations. But obviously Ive never actually tried the interaction myself.
Glad to know that Bracing Cold was changed to what it is at present, which is planets apart from what it used to be.
When I saw Hit It Very Hard my first thought was “We’ll see this in a future Dane or Roffle video trying to go face!” But let’s be real, that’s probably more Mark’s territory!
Here is a procedure to check if the condition on the card is fulfilled:
1. Look at all minions in the deck
2. Ask of each minion the following YES-NO question: "Mate, are you a dragon?"
3. Finish when you asked all minions.
You'd agree that if we only got YESes, then the condition is fulfilled, right? Since the other answer is NO, then getting only YESes is equivalent to not getting a single NO, right?
Thus, if we never get a NO, we are good - the condition is fulfilled
If the deck had no minions to begin with - we never get a NO.
As said above, never getting a NO, is getting YES for all, which is what the card is conditioned on

I understand that "If there are no non-Dragon minions in your deck" is unwieldy, but the existing text does not convey this battlecry would activate with only spells or no deck at all in the slightest. If there are no minions in your deck, then all the minions in your deck are not Dragons!
If it works with empty deck, it works with 29 spells deck as well.
Wait... because of him working when your deck is empty, we may have an additional counter to King Togwaggle for every class, except as opposed to Archivist Elysiana, we'll get cards of absurd quality. Granted, Tog is off-meta, but we now have a much better card to basically make gameplan of decks like Tog Priest irrelevant.
On paper it looks absurd, but its likely only going to be played by one class: druid.
In other classes, the restrictions make it either impracticable or impossible, this being an 8 mana card without taunt or rush. And then there's the problem of draws. Like it or not, even with the most powerful treasures available, you're not really going to do much with one treasure per turn.
That's where druid comes in. Spell druid is hardly new, and guff allows you to draw, on top of ramping up to 8 mana much earlier than you should otherwise be able to. Druid is also the only class that can reliably draw Kazakusan with Capture Coldtooth Mine, and since you can have 2 copies you dont have to run pokelt (which incidentally isn't a dragon, so that's another layer of inconsistency there).
The only other class being equipped to handle this: Controlock, spell mage or control warrior. But all three suck. So better luck post rotation I guess.
I like it only because it has tradeable. Without this, this card is just borderline trash, even in a dedicated minion deck.
Granting a 2/1 buff is good, but as we can see with the nerfed Hand of A'dal, its hardly ever going to enable value trades. And we're certainly not playing it for the rush, because then you'd much rather just play broom instead.
Maybe when the powerlevel goes down post rotation this card can shine better. But even then I'm not optimistic that it'll get more than a mole's eye worth of a look.
Avalon's assessment that changing the pool would kill the card is not without merit. Why'd you torpedo your deck without having first drawn your win con? Then this card just sticks in hand, doing nothing until you draw all the cards you need.
A pool of all cards, minions and spells is too inconsistent, while a pool of spells only is arguable more problematic.
To be honest, some of problem is partially the fact that mage's treasures aren't really all that enticing. Remove or nerf this down and what it does is everyone just plays embercaster, the second most popular treasure. Remove that, and suddenly mage gets destroyed in duels. Without a massive overhaul, I have to agree with team5's decision on this one.
Probably its just removal, unless team5 prints something to make this a game ending card
At present its just Soulbound Ashtongue, which will rotate in 2 months, and then there's also the issue: why play this at all? Shield slam still works and does the job more cleanly than this card, as far as combo is concerned.
But its 1 mana removal, and even if you have to take damage for it, it might still be better than leaving a minion on board without an answer.

So I see 2 highrolls only locusts and book
Then around 3-5 good cards depending on what you are facing
The rest are just merely ok cards in late game after turn 8...
And 7-8 cards are low rolls which you don't want to get usually

Mayor indeed cannot force attack on something target cannot attack at all... But he ignores "cannot attack heroes" effect and "Taunt" effects
Hearthstone Designer Cora Georgiou Shares More Insights on the New Mini-Set Cards - Deathrattle Rogue, Imp Puns & Noggenfogger Memes
Yes, it can ignore taunts and attack any enemy, including enemy hero. Otherwise it would not be able to ignore taunts.
