Demon pool very polarizing, the discount to Jaraxxus, in my opinion, won't be enough to change it. Sure, it will be less of a tempo loss, but it's equiping a 3/8 weapon and summoning a 6/6 for 10 mana. These days, that seems way too little in terms of power, especially when considering how Lord Jaraxxus cripples your health pool.
Scrying is more impactful on Magic, where you can use the effect to filter out land cards when you don't need them, for example. However, the idea of control decks having the ability to filter out bad cards against certain matchups is still good. Not sure it will good enough to see play though, especially when you consider that weapons are harder to Discover.
PS: "This is what it sounds like when spheres scry." Probably the best flavor text of the expansion.
Ah yes, extra fuel for my Gahz'rilla OTK deck is always welcome. Right now that deck only needs this and Rapid Fire instead of having also Arcane Shot, Elven Archer and On the Hunt, freeing up a lot of space for defense and draw. That being said,
Shameless power creep is shameless (and yes, I will be posting this exact same text on similar power creeping cards).
As far as Gandling fodders go, I still prefer to sacrifice Snowflipper Penguin over Desk Imp. Why would the HS community make Snowflipper Penguin card the posterboy of cuteness instead of Murloc Tinyfin, I will never know and I will always be resentful for it.
I'm guessing the playability of this card (especially in Druid) is dependant on how aggressive the meta is, mostly because I expect it to be used mostly on OTK combo decks, where the Overload will be less impactful.
While all effects are pretty minor, the fact that they are bungled up in a single card can become really good, especially when said card is this cheap. Any deck that tries to take the board aggressively will consider this.
Aside from cheesy strats on turn 1, I'm guessing this won't see much play. That being said, if you start on The Coin you can play this, coin, Adorable Infestation, Lightning Bloom into Power of the Wild for 11/11 on the board, which can be pretty game breaking.
Virtually any control/combo oriented deck, due to their defensive nature and tendency to run 5+ mana spells, will want to run this. I'm guessing the only exception is in druid if Fungal Fortunes finds a new spot on the meta.
It's a better Sludge Belcher most of the time, which I guess it doesn't make it very good as Sludge Belcher would probably not be played these days. I mean, look at Bone Wraith, it's not run outside of more defensive Highlander decks.
This card can be very useful for both cases, but I should guess more for Druid, mostly because with Rush, the treants can act as a pseudo AoE and Druids will take any form of AoE they can get their hands on. I'm also curious on how will this work with Untapped Potential online: will it summon just 4 treants with Rush, will it summon 4 normal tokens and 3 rushing ones or will it summon the 4 rushing ones first and the 3 normal tokens after.
Decent way to introduce fast answers to druid without breaking class identity completely while it can be sort of a payoff to the spell shaman archetype Team 5 seems to be pushing.

Remember Wee Spellstopper? Yeah, that's the not busted version of this card. That being said, this is more busted on arena, where AoE is less common.

And in this case, it's broken shameless power creep. Poor Jeeves.

In a land where 1 mana 1/3s are praised, any 1 mana minion that can easily become a 3/2 is king.

I like it. This card provides fuel for the early game to fight for the board while being cheap enough to fuel Kael'thas Sunstrider.

Guessing any minion based druid deck will run two of this aside from maybe dragon druid.
Pretty bad overall, don't see this seeing play even in arena.

Pretty much a Druid only card. Beast Druid got some serious push, although I don't think it is good enough right now. I'll still try though.

Pretty ok overall.
So, here's the combo: Unseal the Vault so you can get a The Coin from Licensed Adventurer. Play two Ramkahen Wildtamers to copy King Krush. When you finally get to 10 mana, play Beastmaster Leoroxx to summon all 3 King Krushes, play The Coin and finally copy one of the King Krush with Shan'do Wildclaw for 32 damage.
