I could definitely see this getting some play with some spicy dragons in the pool right now. I hope that we get a few more interesting ones in the next few expansions to keep this card viable.
I'm not feeling this card to be honest. Giants are always cool to see but this one doesn't feel like it's going to be seeing much action in the same way that Mountain Giant and the past giants that have seen play in warlock. The soul fragment mechanic helps it out a ton but it still feels a bit like magical christmas land to get them out early.
I had started doing this before the release of this article, but it is a good thing this article was released because I was commenting on the card pages and would have gotten 0 credit for my effort.
Back to square one!

Costs too much for the starting stacks, maybe with the "summon x 1/1 rush minions" cards it can be good but we already saw many effects like this before and they weren't really played
With the risk of being horribly wrong, I don't think the card is as strong as a lot of people think it is. Yes there will be times when DHs throw your perfect answer back into your deck, but there will also be times when this gets sandwiched by higher-cost cards or the three cards offered were not important anyway. A 4-mana 4/3 is a rather clear tempo loss on the board, I find it hard to believe Tempo DH would run this.
As someone who's been thwarted several times by the Anti-Magic Shell DK card, I think this looks pretty significant, especially if you place it on a board full of taunts and your opponent is largely spell based. Heck, if you have two of these plus Kobold Monk, They can't target ANYTHING with spells, lol.
Bad top deck card unless you are about to lose but great if in slow/midrange decks if you can get the mana reduc. pairs well with the "summon x 1/1 rush minions" cards

Nice Hunter card.

Nice Outcast trigger. Good for Altruis but I don't think this card will help Demon Hunters much.
