Downside is very big, warlock has a lot of other pretty good ways to get rid of big board and against smaller boards it is already outclassed by Grimoire of Sacrifice. It is also a four cost card so it conflicts with the new Kazakus card.
Gonna need some serious Murloc swarm/spam support for this to be good. Kinda surprised people thought it was gonna be Finja though, the teaser art seemed too low quality for the ninja murloc to be the main minion and not background.
Beast Hunter has been pretty much confirmed in standard and this card should be fairly good for that archetype. A 2/2 beast with rush is already worth about two mana and this spell can potentially provide even more of these bodies.
hmmmm, warlock has so many good removals, can't think of why any deck would include this one, unless there's some mechanic that let you profit from burning your own cards in the deck. Something like, deal 2 damage to your opponent per card destroyed in your deck.
Drawing 3 cards off of a 5 mana 3/5 body is pretty good. Drawing 3 cards is worth at least 3 mana perhaps more when it tutors for more specific cards, so if you draw the max spells, you are basically getting a 3/5 body for only 2 mana.
First application that comes to mind is Druid as they have Survival of the Fittest and Cenarion Ward that are central to Druid's gameplan (the former) and survivability (the latter). They also have Overgrowth and Lightning Bloom to get this out ahead of schedule. I could also see this in Libram Paladin to draw Libram of Hope since the deck will need more draw to replace Salhet's Pride and Blessing of Wisdom, not to mention Primordial Protector being an elemental and drawing Grand Finale in Mage. Overall, I think this isn't going to fit in all classes, but it will be extremely effective when it does fit.
Mixing up hero powers is fun. Pair this with Grizzled Wizard in wild to keep your opponent on your toes XD.
Seriously though, I think this could be a useful card for when a rogue is hoping for card draw with the warlock hero power or desperately needs 1 or 2 armor gain to just get out of lethal range or needs that small damage push but the enemy hero is hiding behind a taunt or is just one hp outside of the lethal range. Being able to use the rogue hero power and this in the same turn is useful. Even if this is too random to place into a deck, it can still be discovered via Wandmaker.
Interesting, but many good murlocs are leaving standard, I don't see a dominating murloc shaman archetype...maybe murlocs can synergize with natural spells? Something like "heal your hero 2 health per murloc you control"

3 mana +2/+2even though is only for murlocs, it's really solid. Really good for the play murlocs quest. Making it viable to win while fulfilling it.

Great read as always, Goliath! :)

This card is playable only in a murloc deck imo. So...are we gona see some murloc support ? XD
New Paladin Spell - Invigorating Sermon
Seems a little bit too expensive, unless you can cheat out this card (Alura is nerfed though).
New Paladin Minion - Veteran Warmedic
This, with libram of wisdom, will end the career of aggro decks.

New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
Now that's some saucy spell for zoolock!
New Paladin Minion - Cariel Roame
Insanely strong! Considering all librams are holy spells, this could synergize very well with libram of wisdom.
New Hunter Spell - Tame Beast (Rank 1)
It's okay at turn 2 and turn 5. I don't see hunter playing the game into turn 10 and winning...unless midrange spell hunter comes back.
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
cheap board clear with the spell damage demon

Lots of potential!

I think in this case the art tells more than I initially thought, ignoring the Finja part, of course.
Maybe some rush support? All the murlocs are attacking the legendary paladin secret token, even Bluegill Warrior is present
New Paladin Minion - Cariel Roame
Promising card
New Rogue Spell - Yoink!
Value for the cost

The Murlocs we have at this moment aren't quiet good enough, but if they print one or two more decent ones, this will surely be a thing.
