Kazakus needs to be fixed

The card has a lot of problems. I've only played/watched about 15 games with him (and he was actually played only about 7 times) but I've already noticed some weird interactions. First of all, the card is bugged.

• Potion can freeze minions who have just been dealt lethal damage by Kazakus' other effects. Minions with 0 or lower health should be killed before other minions are frozen.

• Polymorph and then direct damage hitting the same minion polymorphs it and then deals no damage to the sheep

Blizz said that Kazakus effects would always happen in the best order. A lot of effects aren't in the best order:

• Almost all the time, it would be wasteful to target a sheep with direct damage. The direct damage should be applied first, then minions with 0 or lower health should be killed, and then a random enemy should be polymorphed. This conveniently fixes the second bug.

• Health buff is applied after board clear. Obviously it's better to have the health buff applied before the board clear so your minions might not die. Edit: The minions don't die, but the wording remains confusing until you know how it "actually" works. I didn't play this potion the game that I got it since I thought the minions would die.

Kazakus should be hotfixed. Hopefully we can compile a complete list of what's wrong with the card so that Blizz can fix it faster. Comment if you've seen any other weird interactions.

u/AaronLecon proposed a good order for how the effects should occur.
