I feel like this might be genuinely become a common tech card for decks that lose to sudden wide boards (such as Rogue and maybe even Paladin).
Any class with a 0-cost spell that isn't extremely conditional can make use of this.
I wonder how Spellburst interacts with Shadowstep though. I'm assuming it would cancel the Spellburst effect by removing the minion from play, but with the spaghetti code you never really know, do you?
Neutral AOE will see at least some test play. If tempo DH is still meta, these 2 dmg may prove very useful for classes with limited AOE. Valeera's new best friend?
Giving this minion lifesteal with Lightforged Blessing or Apotheosis would be kind of nice, damage the board & get a big heal.
Also, if there is ever a spell that gives a minion poisonous, this will clear almost any board. Rogues could do it with Plaguebringer but would still need a spell on top of that, which is too complicated and slow for rogue.

I love how the flavor text is a direct reference to Parasite, one of my favorite movies :D
Even given lifesteal looks questionable.
I see potential especially in Priest and Paladin if you give it lifesteal...
It's pyromancer on steroids, loving it!!
Ok, just another board clean for paladin with Libram of Justice, now you have 2 more enablers for that

I can see this being at least play tested in Rogue, as they lack AOE and usually play 0 cost spells anyways (at least backstab).
A neutral board wipe for weenee minions... I hope that the hype on that will be worth it. At the least the art is amazing
now every class can deal with DH's weak minions!
