This card seems to be support for Deathrattle Priest. Since this archetype never really worked, I don't think that this carfd will see a lot of play. This card could also fit into Dragon Priest, since casting it on a dragon is a lot of value. However, since most dragons are too expensive to play this card in the same turn, the dragon has to survive one turn. Because sticking a big dragon for more than on turn on board usually means gg, the card looks more like a 'win more' card.
Even if it's nerfed, it's probably still useful to have an increased chance of getting an Amalgam early. It's the only thing The Curator gets and that's considered a good hero pick. And if Rafaam gets multiple, buffs can be merged when it goes gold.
I really just can't SEE a use for this since its only 1 mana more I guess it could mess up hunter since they have the most "inspire" cards. Not too shabby since it sticks for more than one turn though and I guess if you really want to you could bounce it a bunch with brann and render the hero power useless
Well it could be useful for getting rid of the galakrond hero power but beyond that, I don't see much use sure it might mess up death knights still seems like filler though
The only deck that can include this card is Taunt Warrior. It can also find a place in Paladin Duel decks or Big Shaman but I don't think it'll see a lot of play
New Shaman Minion - Surging Tempest
Not broken, but really strong 1 drop. 5/5 for me, autofill in all shaman decks

New Shaman Spell - Storm's Wrath
Good card for token shammy, evolve shammy, any shammy, shamanstone
New Paladin Minion - Sky Claw
Good with quest, it will see play for sure. 5/5 folr me!
New Paladin Spell - Righteous Cause
Here we go with aggro again...dayum..token pally mvp
New Rogue Minion - Bloodsail Flybooter
Decent card that generates pirates, really decent. Will see play in pirate rogue!
New Neutral Minion - Dread Raven
3 Mana 3/4 Beast. That's it.
Sure, you can Dire Frenzy, but why not use that on something bigger instead of a 3 Mana 3/4?
New Neutral Minion - Wing Commander
Well, this is a fun card to get from rng, but to put it in a deck...mehhh
Blazing Battlemage
A good card for Zoolock Decks. Great for Token Druid too.
New Neutral Minion - Living Dragonbreath
This will give you some interesting Arena moments, useful for a surprise burst out of freeze, and good vanilla stats. But that's it.

New Neutral Minion - Scalerider
I am certain aggro decks that use small dragons like the 5/4 not targetable dragon..so this is PRETTY good. Let's goooo
New Neutral Minion - Troll Batrider
A new Bomb Lobber that shouldn't see any play in standard. Random removal is not something you want to rely on.
Whispers of EVIL
I really like the flavor, it explains how the league of evil was able to recruit so many lackeys.
New Druid Spell - Strength in Numbers
Good in wild, bad in standard. Rip this card, not gonna see play for sure...

New Neutral Minion - Evasive Wyrm
Really good card. Trades for something, isn't hit by target spells, just aoe. So this is gonna do a 2 for 1 trade most of the time. Good card. 4/5
New Neutral Minion - Big Ol' Whelp
2 mana 1/1 draw a card. This is a 5/5 for 5 mana and draw a card. BONKERS
New Neutral Minion - Hippogryph
I only see this card being played in a Dire Frenzy hunter deck.

Hopefully, even more attention will be given to Wild thanks to some more players joining the ranks.
New Neutral Minion - Utgarde Grapplesniper
Dragons have good stats so this card is pretty good, it will see play in control for sure.
New Neutral Minion - Hippogryph
Just an okay arena card here. Fair cards like these make shiny/strong cards stand out more, and I'm always fine having those around.
New Neutral Minion - Grizzled Wizard
Well it could be useful for getting rid of the galakrond hero power but beyond that, I don't see much use sure it might mess up death knights still seems like filler though
New Neutral Minion - Blowtorch Saboteur
Not worth it imo. At least the cost stays "forever" and doesn't vanish on its own.

The only deck that can include this card is Taunt Warrior. It can also find a place in Paladin Duel decks or Big Shaman but I don't think it'll see a lot of play
