The effect is so interesting that this will definitely be experimented with thoroughly. The "obvious" best-fit would be value-oriented control decks that want to go the distance, but I don't really see how this helps fill in the weaknesses of those decks (since Tickatus already helps you win fatigue matches). This might be the type of Legendary with a cool effect that don't mind discovering and tempo-ing, but might not include in your deck.
For "oh crap I ran myself out of cards" zoo decks, this probably takes up a slot you'd be happier to have go to a lower-curve card, but I could see trying to make it fit into zoo with some success.
But the chances for duplicates of Races cards are smaller then. It's more likely to get an extra copy of a normal DMF card because there are more of them. The only risk I see is to get one of the new Legendaries before buying the set.
The spell damage double-dip gives this card some pretty big upside when overloaded, but I'm unsure what decks this will see play in (besides the obvious hard-control archtypes). The card itself seems strong, but there might not be room for most shaman. That said, it might be the type of card you're delighted to discover (say, via Fireheart) situationally.
Mathematically, it is worth buying the bundle. Even if you don't like the cards, you can disenchant them and end up with more dust than if you had bought packs.
Kind of a lame brawl, bit it's nice for quests. Any gimmick brawl is better than just straight Encounter at the Crossroads.
As for people wishing this was constructed - as someone who plays a lot of Tavern Brawls each week, I kind of like not running into the same broken meta deck over and over. It's a lot more fun to just let crazy stuff happen sometimes.
Given the cost is easy to reduce, you're quite likely to corrupt it when you drop your second Attendant or Lady Liadrin (but you're right that in most current deck lists there are only so many cards expensive enough to Corrupt it). Given the potential power, it's not crazy to assume that some deck lists will move towards a slightly higher curve to make corruption easier. We'll see if the cost / deck modification make it as strong as it can be or if it's a bit too slow to be consistent.
This seems pretty good, but not hugely powerful. Aggro decks would love a cheap 3/2, but aggro decks don't care to gain much armor, so that 2 mana cna be much better spent elsewhere. Control decks could get some work out of it, but is it better than other weapons? You can get a 3/2 sword for free with Sword Eater.
I've been wanting to see this and something that stops battlecries as well. I can see this being a tech card in wild, and something wholely loathed by Hunter in days to come.

Awesome tech! Probably terrible!

I highly recommend against buying the mini xpac..

New Warrior Weapon - Spiked Wheel
Not sure, odd warrior doesnt need this weapon agisnt aggro at all and doesnt help its worst matchups at all.
For aggro the new 1drop with armor,rover,sword and board etc are just better.

It was published yesterday about an hour before the reveals started, so Flux made the executive decision to bump it back up after all that was over.

Super strong early removal tool for Odd Warri. Will see play for sure.

Uninspiring (pun intended).

I love this card! Fun and random, but also potentially a lot of late game value!

New Neutral Minion - Crabrider
Not bad, not good. But paired up with the Shaman or Paladin buffs and this could get REALLY scary

Pretty solid if you manage to Silas Darkmoon a Soulbound Ashtongue on your opponent and it stays there long enough for this to happen.... yeah right
