I can see this MAYBE working in a deck that's heavy on spells and draw, but realistically I'm not sure that kind of Warlock deck can survive long enough to see the payoff.
Wow, this with Voidlord in Wild will surely be tried out :D 3 Mana 9/9, yes please :D
In Standard, I can't think of something broken off the top of my head...
(EDIT)
Ohhhh, I know.... How about a 3 Mana Lord Jaraxxus.... (albiet, its actually mana-neutral, when you consider the cost of Deck of Chaos :P) If only he was actually viable in the current meta...
Its support for shuffle rogue, so we may be expecting to see more shuffle synergy down the line that may justify its inclusion.
On its own, its basically almost always going to be 2 mana since only one shuffle effect puts 3 cards into your deck. On the off chance this may actually allow you to affect tempo while also playing a tempo losing card, like [Hearthstone Card (shadows of death) Not Found].
I expect this to not light the world on fire, but with enough support may turn out to be better than it looks like. A shame that its an epic card, since crafting this really really doesn't feel good.
If you run c'thun in your deck it's a neat removal, there are several deck shuffles in rogue so maybe if you do that enough it would make sense..
That being said rogue is a high tempo class kill a unit is reactive card.. But it's a combo enabler if cheap enough.. I hate that it isn't consistent with drawing the shuffled card, would like it more if it costed for example 7 but count the shuffles durain the game.. Rather than current card shuffled.
well Hir'eek, the Bat definitely not good enough... [Hearthstone Card (Book of Chaos) Not Found] costs 6. filling your board with Hir'eeks on 7 isn't all that strong
It does have an impact in a way. Shuffling effects are often tempo loss cards, or generally don't affect the board the same turn they are played, hence why [Hearthstone Card (shadows of death) Not Found] remains on the meme side despite its very strong effect and synergy with Stowaway. If I can do that and delete a minion for free, that may be exactly what shuffle deathrattle rogue needed to gain respectability.
Very easy card to slot into any deck that wants to shuffle cards in, but I'm not sure that many decks have too many effects that do that. Any decks that do will definitely give this consideration. Good in the right deck, bad anywhere else.
On a side note, if you put this in a deck withBaku the Mooneater and Prince Malchezaar, does baku still work if this now costs 0? Not as though it matters, but it would be interesting to check.
Baku "reads" the original cost of cards so, yes, it still works.

I mean yes it works... because Baku only looks at your starting deck not at what Prince shuffled... Prince often shuffles even cost cards but that doesn't prevent Baku from working..
Not very sexy, but I am excited about this card. This card could help with the initial loss of tempo inherent to shuffling. Im very interested to see if this can enable the slow game plan of shuffling.
It depends a lot on what the meta looks like. If its aggressive, then 6 mana with no immediate impact is very tough to recover from. If it is control and value heavy, then it won't be much of a problem a lot of the time.
If the meta is slow, a 3 mana Jaraxxus should not be dismissed lightly. Pressing the button on that turn makes it 5 mana for a 6/6 demon, a 3/8 weapon and an insane hero power. There are certainly match ups where being at 15 health is perfectly fine.
Interesting buildaround... need to find which high cost low attack minions are there in warlock. The only problem I see is that if you bottomdeck this, then your deck might fall apart...
I think that in most cases this is a significantly worse Luna's Pocket Galaxy, but maybe warlock's better access to draw makes the effect more useful there? I've never really felt that cubelock/renolock needed their minions discounted, they tend to have voidcaller to get their demons into play and even Skull of the Man'ari is only run in some decks.

Zai, the Incredible is a New Demon Hunter Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion
Maybe there will be other cards that will help create a new deck type for Demon Hunter and this card could fit nicely in there.

I edited my comment to try to get my joke across better
Malevolent Strike is a New Rogue Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion
So this is an auto include with the new C'thun deck, since it reduces the cost of this assassinate to (1).
But the more cards that you draw the more expensive it gets late game.
huh

Other than that, cards like Siegebreaker, Archwitch Willow and Enhanced Dreadlord springs to mind :)
New Paladin Minion - Lothraxion the Redeemed
No, they are just pushing Silver Hand Pally in Standard, and the side effect of that will always mean a boost for Wild Odd.
I'm pretty sure Wild is almost never a consideration in design decisions for new expansions.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Zai, the Incredible
I, for one, do not mind seeing DH get a so-so legendary.

I have it. I want to play it. I will break the meta with it!!!!!!
OK, that last assertion may have less than 100% accuracy.
I expect most opponents to insta concede when I play it for 1 mana anyway due to my sheer audcacity.

but yeah need to be careful or you might cripple your deck...

If I pack this card, at some point definitely going to try memeing with it.
Hir'eek, the Bat, Mayor Noggenfogger, Grand Archivist, Voidlord, Void Ripper, Master Oakheart
Good? No - no it's not. Fun when drunk? YES!
I'm sure there will be a proper meme deck when someone gives it more thought than I did.
