The way I see it, this can give your minions a pseudo Windfury. Not only that, it can easily be a 2 attack weapon in DH. That being said, it faces stiff competition in DH with Umberwing on tempo builds. In Hunter, however, it can replace the old Candleshot, which is a good spot it can fill.
This card is a double edged sword: on one hand, a 1 mana 1/3 will help most control decks to start spamming Soul Fragments into thier deck while fighting for the board. On the other, for control decks, it will mess up the big demon synergies those decks want to have.
For more tempo oriented decks, it's just another early game play.
If both players have two minions when this is slapped on the board, one player will end up with 3 minions and the other with 0. This is the definition of a win more card, and if you don't have something fast to deal with this guy after he's played, it's pretty much game over for you.
The effect is interesting, that's true, but it's one of those cards that will be hella frustrating to play against.
It's a more control oriented card that acts as an extra AoE while also allowing you to slap some stats on the board, be it just a 5/5 for some extra 3/3 tokens. While not broken, it's a fairly decent card.
Ironically, on of the best ways to reduce Fel Guardians' cost is by playing another Fel Guardians. Token DH will love this, especially when considering that deck actually has fast tokens.
I can already hear Gul'dan crying over how Illidan stole this guy from him. Archwitch Willow would love to pull two of these out. Oh well, I guess Fel Summoner is a close second for this kind of deck.
Lets not forget this card will summon damaged minions for extra procs of Battle Rage. While not on Bloodsworn Mercenary's levels in terms of board swing, it is still a very interesting effect that can be more useful in more control-ish decks.
If you compare to Serpent Egg, it is a weaker Deathrattle. However, its true power lies in the fact that it can represent 2 free 2/1 tokens. If warlock had more control over low cost discards, this card would be at Silverware Golem levels of power.
Looking at Darkbomb, this is virtually a 1 mana 3/4, helping maintain board control early and providing extra lethal reach late. A very simple yet good card.
3 mana deal 2 AoE is always nice, and fueling an archetype that tends to be more control-ish and therefore wants cheap AoE effects is a nice cherry on top.
A big beatstick that can be played at a time beatstick don't tend to be this big. There is a reason the Hand-locks of old included Sunfury Protector on their lists. And this guy has Giant-like stats without needing an extra card to give it Taunt, which is a nice addition.
Control Warlock needs survivability if it wants to be viable. Soul Fragments can provide said survivability and only one of the generators is a demon. And while this card has anti-synergy with Void Drinker, it's still a 4/5 Taunt pulled out of the deck at a stage of the game the cards' battlecry is less relevant. Hell, even pulling Spirit Jailer from your deck at a time you definitely don't want to topdeck it can add some late game consistency at the cost of a less powerful tempo swing. Tempo swing that you can somewhat control by controling the demons in your hand.
Sure, this card isn't amazing especially when considering how games tend to be over before this card can be played, but it can be an extra board swing in control match-ups, giving Archwitch Willow some utility in that scenario.
The Soularium was an insane hand refill for zoo-lock. Evocation is one of the two cards that make spell mage almost viable instead of being a full meme deck and the deck plays in a throw spells face way.
This card will make aggro rogue a thing. I daresay Rogues can actually drop the Galakrond package for more aggressive options thanks to this card. And I believe this card is one of the reasons Galakrond, the Nightmare was changed.
The design of this card is beautiful considering how it implements the 3/3 mechanic Paladin has. I really like this card even when considering it's not that powerful.
That being said, where the hell are the midgame Rush minions for Paladin to actually represent a class that controls the board through minion combat? Blizzard could have a Warrior-like tanky class that fights the board through fast minions, where Warrior abuses damaged minions to gain advantage with cards like Rampage or Battle Rage and Paladin could have their healing mechanic actually have a hope to work decently.
Helps Soul Fragment decks from facing out of control boards early on. While not very flashy, it is a decent card.
I figure this card will compete with Blazing Battlemage in current DH and Hunter lists, while possibly being run alongside it in Highlander versions.

One mana with a reasonable tutor effect is pretty good. The outcast is just a small bonus but it can be good as well.

Ah yes, giving more consistency to Skull of Gul'dan. Guess Tempo DH will still have a spot in the meta.
It says a lot about DH when their weakest card this expansion is a potential 4 mana 7/6.
