5 points for a being a 3/4 for 3 murloc, which is a good deal of bulk.
0 points for the Cult Master effect that turns murlocs into legendaries
So I guess, its just an average card. Had the effect been similar to Underbelly Angler it would've been great, but requiring that murlocs first be dead? Thats a bit too much an ask
After corruption this minion is so defensive.. it's a 3/6 lifesteal for 3?? what? it's a lot of health and survivality.. DH is getting the nuts this expansion..
Even if not corrupt this card is -1 attack Tar Creeper...
Significantly better as a weapon. Unlikely to see play in Soul Demon Hunters though as Marrowslicer kinda competes for the same spot, and I personally can't see them running both.
If you want to play a grindy hunter deathrattle deck, you now have two extra mini-n'zoths. The problem there is that slower hunter decks aren't lacking in surprisingly strong lategame value, they need more ability to get to the late game. This clearly won't change that.
The only real power of this card is that its a murloc that's a 3 mana 3/4 spidertank.
The fact that it refuels with legendary cards is but a small bonus, of which for a murloc deck, wouldn't really be all that useful. Plus, the only way to get extra value off this card is the same condition as for Cult Master, and that card never saw any play in a murloc deck.

Alright, so this is AMAZING i love it already, and hate the thought of being on the receiving end already! however, i don't think Tickatus is THE "super strong" legendary Corrupt card they were teasing. Well it could be, but i feel like the "super strong" legendary Corrupt card that encourages people to play Y'Shaarj, the Defiler will/would be a neutral legendary... But if this IS the "super strong" legendary corrupt card they have been teasing, then it's completely understandable, because Warlock really needed this powerspike. (Now shaman also needs one.)
Edit: Now that we know all cards, Tickatus IS actually THE "Super Strong" Legendary corrupt card they teased. Well that's understandable, because Tickatus is insane. Warlock really needs this kinda powerfull effect.
Standard: Will 100% see play in some kind of control Y'Shaarj, the Defiler deck. But not just that, but any control warlock deck might as well run it. Your opponent probably doesn't want to play their Lorekeeper Polkelt after you play a 7+ cost minion... Their will be plenty of "oooohhh i just milled their wincon" clips on HS compilation channels like trolden.
Wild: Might see play in some control warlock lists, and maybe cubelock as well. sure the demon tag might hurt the ress pool full of taunts a little bit, but you will generally play Tickatus AFTER your big cards like Bloodreaver Gul'dan, Lord Godfrey, Twisting Nether or a Voidlord, so you can fatigue your opponent faster AND ressing a 8/8 minion isn't that bad, if the otherwise ressed minion would be a 1/3 taunt... Also Tickatus can hard counter Dead Man's Hand warrior by milling their shuffled cards.
I see also some potential with Brann Bronzebeard. But hey, playing this combo makes it so you don't have to include Y'Shaarj, the Defiler into your deck. So that's pretty good for other controllock decks.
Despite this being pretty good, the power of warlock board clears is such that I don't think this has any real chance of displacing any of them. It's looking like Y'shaarj is it for corrupt-matters effects, so I think that this just won't see play.

New Warlock Spell - Cascading Disaster
Interesting card.
Assassinate powercreep, and can be corrupted really easily on any slow warlocl deck.
That set looks like pushes slow meta.

This is a custom HS card since day 1 of custom HS card.. this is so strong though 3 mana 4/3 weapon for DH? what were they smoking?
New Paladin Spell - Oh My Yogg!
There's a solid chance that this backfires somehow, so I doubt it will see any non-memeing play.

Any midrange DH will use that card.
Good as tempo Minion and extremly good as weapon.

why would an aggro deck want legendary minions? most are over costed and dont synergize with ur gameplan

New Warlock Minion - Tickatus
This is really strong, maybe the corrupt should have been both players?
Magicfin is a New Shaman Murloc Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion
Ok Shaman is anything and nothing again:
Murloc, totem, weapon and aoe synergy
The card itself is good, but the lack of a shaman archetype is very frustrating.
If you think of soul fragments, for example, is what I am waiting for shaman, maybe is too much
New Neutral Minion - Strongman
Really good, I guess we will mostly see this in control decks anyway.
New Shaman Minion - Magicfin
Good refill for murlocs shaman but... Murlocs shaman still exists?
New Demon Hunter Minion - Felsteel Executioner
Very good stats... that is about all it is... But might be good enough, definitely in arena will be good.
New reward scheme?
I have in mind it should start tomorrow ... am I correct?
