I'm so looking forward to both of the legendaries in Warlock. Not only because I'm a Warlock player, but the abilities of them are really abusive. Honestly, just thinking about the ways to make Deck of Chaos broken in Wild before it gets nerf'ed to 8 mana is super fun. I mean really, what can you say about the number of giants in wild that would unbelievably scary with this like Mountain Giant, Molten Giant, or even Frost Giant. It's just wonderful.
Not as crazy early game as it seems, because of the need to corrupt, but the strength of this card lies in it having enough stats to be a threat through into the late game, when Priest can drop it to protect their big threats and combo enablers like Sethekk Veilweaver, without spending much of their mana to do so.
A decent curve play for elemental decks to just act as a soft-taunt. It's unfortunate there are no good attack buffs for elementals. If Cauldron Elemental or Whirlwind Tempest were any good, this card could lead to some very fun combos.
Sadly there are very few decks who want to swarm the board and don't already have a better way to do it.
Not to mention, if your hand is full of minions as a zoo-type deck, you a) are probably doing something wrong, and b) would probably rather just play those minions.
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.
New Hunter Minion - Dancing Cobra
What happens when discovered with Deathstalker Rexxar's hero power regarding the Corrupt feature?
New Warlock Minion - Midway Maniac
Really sweet card.
Fits in many achetypes, from zoo to control.
5/5
New Mage Minion - Confection Cyclone
Fire Fly's bigger cousin

New Mage Minion - Game Master
Not for tempo decks, coz it will not last more than 1 single turn in play. Soft taunt minion.
New Neutral Minion - Derailed Coaster
Trash card with crappy stats IMO.
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Dreadlord's Bite
Mini Death's Bite, I like it!
New Mage Minion - Firework Elemental
If only damage would be able to go face!
New Priest Minion - Fairground Fool

New Neutral Minion - Fantastic Firebird
Another boring filler card, when are they going to stop adding these slightly different stat lines similar cards?
New Neutral Minion - Circus Medic
Nice, but no existing archetype deck to put it in though.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Redeemed Pariah
I like these kind of cards, softens the negative aspect of playing outcast cards when not in outcast position.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Zai, the Incredible
Cool card, but hate the stats... then again, having better stats would make it OP probably.
New Neutral Minion - Fantastic Firebird

New Mage Minion - Firework Elemental
Body, tribe and "hard" removal.
Nice addition for elemental mage.
New Neutral Minion - Horrendous Growth
Boring card, thanks but no thanks... I will pass on this one.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Il'gynoth
Very interesting card, requires some drastic build around themed deck though. I predict it will see some play in the first few weeks only.
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Dreadlord's Bite
Meh.
No more words.
Typo in titles
I'm Space Dargon instead of Space Dragon.
New Neutral Minion - Knife Vendor
Bad, even for arena.
Maybe a superaggro deck uses it as a finisher, but looks weak.

New Rogue Spell - Cloak of Shadows
A worse Iceblock for Rogue, I will pass.
New Warlock Spell - Deck of Chaos
Rabbit achievment enabler.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Il'gynoth
Hands down most op card of this expansion
