I think that was the joke, since they know people will do nothing but bitch about the cards anyway. Might as well get something like this out of the gate.
I could see that, but isn't it more beneficial to keep your deathrattle minions around, causing trouble for the opponent as long as possible, and then giving them a little more trouble when they die too? Besides, this auto-hills Umbra.
NO. No, no, no. no Not enough "no" to know how much no I want to NO.
I don't think it's really that insane. There's so many meh (Nat Pagle) or outright bad legendary minions (Millhouse MANASTORM!) that it's a total crapshoot. It's fun sure, but it's likely going to be generally worse than Medivh, as you get 3 free minion summons with him (rather than 2 minions added to your hand you'll have to pay mana to play) and you have some control over which ones you get from the staff via the cost of the spells you cast. Obviously, the fact that it's random is going to mean it's going to high-roll and win the game sometimes, but like Yogg, there's going to be no consistency to it.
By itself it's just a slow, inconsistent card. On top of all the crazy random Mage card generation, and stall cards, it's just more bullshit that makes it impossible to strategize against mages. Even if it turns out that this card isn't good enough, it still shows that the Hearthstone developers aren't really paying attention to what's wrong with the mage class.
I'd say they don't seem to have a problem with card generation, random or otherwise, in any class given how much of it Hearthstone has. I get that it makes strategizing harder, but it also leads to variety in gameplay and appears to be intentional on their part. I don't see how we can expect otherwise or think that it's a bug or oversight on the developers part.
Doubt it. But still, easy to game it so you get one specific card that otherwise might sit on the bottom of your deck all game.

It is not, because you only cast the spell once. Same reason auctioneer doesn't draw cards from yog or servant of yog
Hearthstone is so convoluted sometimes. There's far too much that you can only know by playing, and that isn't explicit anywhere in the card text or rules. Hell, there's way too much that's contradictory in how the card text plays out from one card to the next.
But at least since it's a digital game, there's no rules lawyering arguing that stops a match in his tracks the way it does when playing Magic the Gathering (from my experience). You just put the crazy shit cards into play and let the effects take over.
The rules of HS do follow a logical progression (usually) once you learn the logic behind them.
If you polled 100 Hearthstone players, how many could correctly predict the interactions on this card:
Hunter and warlock will not gain any freeze effects because their hero power is not targeted (with the exception of hunter in wild running steamwheedle sniper.) Since the priest hero power is targeted, it should gain the freeze effect.
I might answer this question with another question.
That is fucking evil. Mill warlock?
Could be interesting.
"If I have to discard, so does everyone!"
So what's the most you can get out of it?
Could be interesting.
