Compared to Tirion, it comes out two turns sooner and gives you immediate access to your weapon, at the cost of divine shield and slightly worse weap9n stats. Great card in pure/control/big decks
It could be a Zoo card, I suppose. If you get this in your hand and play a 3-drop on 3, a 2-mana 3-3 and another 2-drop on turn 4 isn't so bad. That's a lot to ask for a card that's awful the rest of the time, though - chances are this one can stay with the rest of the growths, in the dumpster.
Are you sure? It says "if all die", it does not specifically say "if all 7 die". I would assume you only have to kill off the ones you summoned for the repeat effect, not summon all 7 and kill them.
Probably won't be run, but I'm curious to see how this interacts with Y'shaarj. Do you just get the biggest one back? Do you get multiple?
You will get the one you have played..
Anyway. This card is slow. For now I see only one way to use it. Rogue, play it and Shadowstep to hand. You will have 0 mana corrupt card so almost everything should corrupt it and Rogue can spam tons of cards. It will be like budget Edvin which can be buffed through multiple turns and can't be silenced.
it's a strong card, but it's also a SLOW card, so it probably won't see much play in constructed.
what will determine this cards illegibility in standard is it's interaction with Y'sharaj is if Y'sharaj gives you a copy of the corrupted version that keeps the same stat line as when you played it. If not, it won't make it into those decks, because a 0 mana 3/3 is good but it won't get the stat increase since all the cards Y'sharaj gives you will cost (0).
Now in Arena this guy can be pretty powerful, since you don't want to play a 2 mana 2/2 on curve that doesn't have a beneficial battlecry, and you might not always draw the stronger cards in your deck on curve. This guy fills in a niche spot of good stats for cost that's super flexible
I think this patch speaks volumes for how terrible elementals were balanced compared to other tribes; Rag nerfed twice, Djinni nerfed and Gorr nerfed. This means that Nomi is the only high roll Elementals have in tier 5.
It is cool to see a mass buff to a lot of the other heroes. Rat King and Queen Togwaggle got big buffs; health buffs are always significant as it introduces a different kind of scaling.
All in all I think this patch might give other tribes a fighing chance! Good job Blizzard
Its just arena filler. The effect is interesting since the buff is permanent and cant be silence. But at the end its still requires you to first draw the card, and then to proct it you need cards that cost more than 3 mana. Realistically you can get this to a respectible 5/5 easily by around turn 7. But at that point of time, would a 2 mana 5/5 be in any way useful? I doubt it.

Lifestealing on crack - so agressive - wowzer

The weapon doesn't ring anything too fancy, but given that you get as pretty large taunt, on curve, it is useful

Am I imagining things when most of these cards look too strong to me, compared to previous cards?

That's indeed - potentially - a lot of stats for (7) mana

The artwork is cute, but it doesn't seem that great so far. Maybe other cards that haven't been revealed yet will make it more exciting.

if you're referring to Argent Braggart, that does see play in standard and is infinitely more powerful than this card.

It is a neat card but I don’t think it’ll see much play.
Humble Braggart can probably more consistently be a better stat machine for 2 mana and that doesn’t really see much play outside of arena.

Unless its explicit, corruption on happens while the card is in hand.
