Because he's Plot Twist on a stick, I don't really see him being that integral, unless you're doing some super scammy stuff like Kazakusan into Finley to replace your hand with the treasures. Other than that, I don't really see Aggro decks playing him since he doesn't actually reload the hand.
Way too slow for Wild Pirates, but when Standard Pirate Warrior feels slow and clunky ever since the Questline nerf, this'll be a necessary inclusion to keep up in the next meta.
Amalgam cards are already basically glue cards to help fill in the gaps in standard tribal synergies, or trying to marry two separate tribes. This is by far the best of those we've seen yet, Pirates, Murlocs, Mechs, and most likely Nagas are really going to like this card in particular to keep up the pace. If it's not on the Rewards Track, this is an easy Day 1 craft just because of how flexible it is to help fill out decks.
This sees play in Pirate Warrior, and Pirate Warrior alone, and that's because it's a cheap pirate, hardly because of the Dredge. If any deck wanted to Dredge cards, they're more than likely going to play the class specific or cards that do things besides Dredge, because as Sightless Watcher demonstrated, being able to pick your draws is nice, it's just not as good as simply drawing a card.
As I said in Iceblood Tower, Big Spell Mage is looking like a Big Timmy Trap. That said, this is in particular is less of a trap, but the deck in general doesn't bode well for Dawngrasp's playability.
You're a Paladin, you play buffs, it's your whole thing, like Warlocks being mean and Mage playing spells. I'd be more shocked if he doesn't find a home.
Maybe a followup Celestial Ink Set into one of the now 5 and 0 Cost spells might be the swing turn that actually makes Big Spell Mage work, but I'm not too hopeful overall.

Counterspell on a Stick: I sleep
Counter minions on a Stick: REAL CARD?!
Already making things awkward in the current meta, this is a real curve ball minion who will see play somewhere in each meta for the next 2 years.
Must have for Naga decks, you really want as many Nagas in hand as you can, and this helps you with that.
Thank the Light, Priest has draw again!...
Oh wait, Priest is going to have draw again... monkaS

Really needs the spell discounts that Mage has, because 3/3, 6/6, and 9/9 for their respective costs seems very mediocre.
Yeah this is looking pretty meta-warping. Not quite in every Paladin deck, but it's going to feel like it.

Better Baron Geddon for Big Paladin.
In Deathrattle decks, this becomes just a dud on revivals. Otherwise? A 4 mana Mind Control sounds pretty annoying to deal with.
Going to be mean in a Bless deck, turning all minions into fuel for a surprise lethal.
Actually looks better during the Theory crafting stream, especially with all the 1/1 Illidaris that Demon Hunter has.
Solid play on 5 if you didn't get the new Sigil in hand in time.

Not really convinced that a 6/6 copy of one of your demons other than Pit Commander is worth that much. But hey, Pit Commander is a card!
