It's a fun hail Mary card with interesting effects, but I really sympathize with the competitive players that will have to put up with this shi* in tournaments. It would only be fair to the players if this was banned competitively, but blizzard wants the tournaments to be an exciting viewing experience so it's not likely to happen. 

2 mana 1/4 is already a pretty good statline. If you only get 2 damage off of it then I guess it's okay. 4 damage and it is above average. But if you can get 6 damage then it becomes an insane amount of burst damage for an aggro deck. And with cards like Restless mummy and Scion of Ruin, getting a good amount of damage out of this guy shouldn't be too difficult.

Maybe this is not for a N'Zoth deck, but for a tempo deck. 1/3 weapon seems bad for a tempo deck, but think of this.

If you equip it on turn 2, you swing it that turn. On turn 3 you swing it again and play a minion. That's +2/+2 on that minion. That may continue with +3/+3 and +4/+4, potentially on multiple minions. It may compensate that tempo loss from turn 2.

I know it's hard to have this scenario all the time. Handbuffing is usually bad as we've seen before, but multiple buffs for 2 mana, and sometimes board control with weapon may work just fine. I dunno, we'll see.

I'd like to see Trump replace Dave Kosak as the reveal season ham.

5 mana 8/8 Taunt Divine Shield is obviously very powerful. The question is whether or not you will be able to corrupt it consistently. We have cards like the new Hammer and Libram of Hope. It seems like blizzard is pushing midrange paladin this expansion, and so far it looks like they will have some pretty strong cards.

It's not a bad card, but it is heavily reliant on menagerie builds being strong to work.
Based upon karazan, menagerie decks tend to be midrange to aggro, and aren't bad, but will need a lot of good support in this set to be competitive.

One of warrior's only draw cards that doesn't require setup on board, but I think that this is a little fiddly to work into any control warrior lists because Acolyte of Pain is such a good draw engine. Very interesting as a tutor though. Guaranteed risky skipper for board clear + two other cards you might want.

Definite maybe.

This card can tutor out Risky Skipper and Scion of Ruin for Galakrond Warrior, missing out on only a midrange-y mech that can help the archetype to make a respectable midrange deck. All while having a The Curator vibe which I absolutely love.

I am not sure how strong this card is. Aggro Discard Warlock is a deck in wild, and they might run this, but usually the lowest cost card in your hand will be something like Flame Imp, Soulfire, Expired Merchant, Tiny Knight of Evil, or some other card you don't want to discard. Silverware Golem and Fist of Jaraxxus are going to be too expensive in most cases, so I guess the question is whether or not it will be worth it to start running Boneweb Egg.

In my opinion, the cards that will benefit most from the handbuffs are early game tempo oriented cards, like Faerie Dragon/Evasive Feywing for dragons, Southsea Deckhand for pirates (which can be pretty strong if the weapon still has durability after the attack and Skybarge(?) (I don't see many more early game mechs, but Skybarge by itself can be a 4/7 if you play the weapon on 2 and attack both turns before slapping it on 3 and it can curve out into an 8/7 Evasive Feywing on 4). 

Oh wow, talked myself into thinking this card can be good.

I am not counting Mecha'thun for two reasons. One, the card itself is terrible in this deck. This deck is mostly meant just for fun, but I would still like it to be at least a little bit playable. Two, it isn't technically an old god. It is a robot resembling an old god. So I don't think it counts.

Its horrible health makes it very killable, but DH has some classic cards that rely on friendly minions dying, so maybe there'll be more synergy printed to make this more flexible. Even if not, Chaos Strike is still played so I don't see why this wouldn't be. 

This feels like it could be good for Arena because of the randomness of the minions you get, but I'm feeling lackluster

This is the support that Rush has been needing.  Now if only there was a decent way to protect it for a turn

Are we going back to Kara?

5 for an 8/8 with Divine Shield AND Taunt?  that is just dumb

If only rogue had access to plot twist 

Does Ringmaster Whatley count as old set callback?

I think this card is really good for a common rarity card.

I wonder if they will try to make discard warlock a thing.

You don't need to have a menagerie deck for ringmaster. It can be good in any deck that runs some of those minion types, it's still good if you only draw two cards.
