Thank you so much! I can only repeat myself: You are running the best community management I have ever seen. The fact that you're listening and responding in such a short time is a marvel in itself. Implementing stuff the community asks for is just the icing in top of the cake.
What happened to Leeroy Jenkins? And regardless, aggro decks don't need legendaries to be good. In fact, most aggro decks are very cheap, and the legendaries required are class legendaries (i.e. Infiltrator Lilian, Dragonbane, Kayn Sunfury, etc).
However, I do agree that another neutral aggro legendary would be pretty spicy.
I think what he's referring to is that when people say "it's a spell on a stick" it means it's the effect of a spell on the body of a minion. Lab Recruiter is Gang Up on a stick, Fire Breather is Demonwrath on a stick, etc.
Curves well with Cagematch Custodian, so I expect to see the two in the same deck. I'm not sure if this is a staple in this Attack Shaman archetype that's shaping up though. 3 mana 3/2 weapon is a strong baseline, but the effect feels a bit 'meh' in comparison to some other weapons. Idk, we'll have to see it in practice, but I'm not blown away on initial impressions.
You could just slap this card in any fast-ish Shaman deck and its good. The ability to do 4 damage spread across two targets on play is already good, but then you could combo it with weapons or even Rockbiter Weapon to get some serious value.
Tutor's on bodies have typically found some level of play, so I suspect this to be run. How frequently this is run is anyone's guess, I suspect there will still be more Attack/Weapon Shaman support revealed.
Now, personally, I adore full greed value Priest, so I welcome this card into the fold. That said, I can see when enough card generation is enough, and this is starting to really push it. Also, this supports combo decks and I hate combo decks, so that makes me sad.
Also, Time Out! read "until your next turn", while this reads "for 1 turn". Assuming they both work the same, this is an example of consistent inconsistency on the bingo.
Right off the bat, this gives you 4 damage + the damage of your weapon extra on the turn it is played, making the burst damage possibilities huge. This card can turn a relatively simple 3 attack weapon into a whopping 10 damage. I am not sure if Weapon Shaman will be a thing, and I also don't think this card will be a necessity in that deck, but if it is a thing this will be a very useful source of burst damage to finish off the opponent.
That's a good effect, in that you can play this on the same turn you're corrupting it, unlike the other corrupt cards.
Unfortunately, you do have to wait to play an 8-mana spell/minion in order to drop this for free. This will probably be best suited for some big spell/minion decks, though whether it actually merits inclusion is debatable. A 6/6 with taunt isn't very exciting.
A good followup to Cagematch Custodian. Most of the time, a 3 mana 3/2 weapon is pretty good, but usually not good enough to make the cut without another ability. I think the extra +1/+1 bonus is a big enough plus for you to run this in any aggro/midrange shaman deck. Shamans especially can make good use of this buff with their 0-attack totems lying around.
Yahoo! Draw for Shaman! I don't care if it is very limited in what it can draw, I am just excited that we finally have a Shaman minion with decent stats that draws you a card with no downsides. Also, weapon shaman seems very interesting. I wonder what the thought process was that led the designers to create this archetype.

Not if someone plays Temporus with this, with that card you are immune for both of your opponents turns with Time out
Blizzard always three steps ahead of you!

New Shaman Minion - Inara Stormcrash
I doubt they are thinking of Doomhammer with this particular legendary, seeing as it already has windfury.
New Neutral Minion - Optimistic Ogre
I would love nothing more than for a player to randomly summon this in a major tournament and have it decide the game!
We now just need an ogre that is capable of attacking any character so we can go full retard and truly complete the ogre theme.
When will we get a neutral legendary for aggro?
Does Octosari count? I mean, he’s more of a midrange tool, but clearly aimed at aggro (dumping and refilling the hand).
New Shaman Minion - Inara Stormcrash
Looks like they want to push Doomhammer back into the standard meta with some these weapon cards.

I find it funny that you thought of Finja, the Flying Star first before you even thought of Patches the Pirate and Leeroy Jenkins, when it comes to neutral legendaries for aggro :P
New Neutral Minion - Optimistic Ogre
Despite this ogre's attitude, I'm not optimistic of their constructed viability. I'll see myself out.

It’s on a spellstick, obviously.
And no, that’s not a wand, wands are for lame dwizards, spellsticks are for very cool rogues.

New Neutral Minion - Claw Machine
Decent with N'zoth and maybe helps push the expensive Mech Deathrattle Hunter? Oblivitron adores this card.
New Rogue Spell - Cloak of Shadows
A way to enable slow Rogue decks to build up value, this is gonna be a fun first week. Greedy decks as far as they eye can see.
New Priest Spell - Palm Reading

5/5 for the text, 1/5 for the card.
Filler minion.
