It's a strange card, but I think I like it. There are some matchups where this will be game winning, and there are others where this will just be a 3 mana 2/4.
It's highly matchup dependant, and will rely on certain decks that can't deal with this effect being good in order to see play.
The strength of azure drake in raza priest is solely due to it filling so many roles in the deck, a source of spell damage AND a dragon AND deck thinning is what makes the card.
This only has one of those traits, and it's the worst one. This is unlikely to see play anywhere, unless the elemental tag somehow becomes important.
It's pretty good, but very reliant on the hero power being used efficiently.
I think that this can safely be run in a broad variety of slower decks, but decks that want to thin their deck more quickly will probably find the demand of using the hero power too tricky to fit in on early turns.
4 mana 4/2 weapons have already seen play in warrior decks, and unlike death's bite, this one has an always beneficial effect in aggressive decks. I'm sure that this will see at least some play.
The problem this card faces is that most demons are bad for the average value-based renolock, especially considering that they pollute the ressurection and voidcaller pools, and that aggressive decks usually prefer immediately strong cards over card generation effects.
This is good, but just doesn't have a home in wild.
This suffers from the rogue weapon problem, where aggressive rogue weapons are doomed to be bad because they make your hero power useless and increase mana wastage.
It's a shame, but I doubt that this will see play, even though it does 18 damage with deadly poison.
Generating a random combo card seems hard to rely on, and 4 mana 4/4 minions without immediate board effect are hard to justify in a meta with such strong aggro decks.
A bit pricy. Not sure if many decks will want this, just because it comes down a little too late for spot removal against aggressive decks, and most priest decks already have board wipes on 6.
If midrange becomes a widely viable archetype, this is a strong counter.
4 mana 4/6 taunt is a nice statline, but enabling spellburst on curve will be quite demanding.
As it stands, I think that this card will often only be consistently taunt-able on turns when a boardclear or a stronger taunt could be played.
Big decks already have so many payoffs that this one just looks mediocre.
The lack of immediate impact really hurts this one.
I doubt that this will see play in a world where decks could be summoning Y'shaarj or Colossus instead.

Not very easy to get to activate, and 6 mana for nothing but stats is a little slow for any aggro decks.
I don't expect this to see a lot of play.

2 mana jeeves, a jeeves for the modern age.
This is great. Looking forward to using this in just about any aggro deck.
Enables hero power combos of all flags and banners. Looking forward to trying this in quest shudderwock shaman and in OTK paladin.
Intended to be used with spell damage, which might be realised in odd shaman, where you can consistently generate wrath of air totems.
However, I'm not sure if this is actually that strong even when it is empowered.
Technically less random than astral rift, but still so very random that you would rather just run a taunt minion that you know is strong.
Rush minions are a less variable pool than those of some of the other studies, but I still think that this card is unlikely to see a lot of play.
It's hard to justify running a discover effect over the actual card that you want when what you generate will always be broadly the same.

Quite nice AoE + heal effect, but I'm not sure that any shaman deck needs this right now.
Compared to the other board clears in shaman, this is very expensive and doesn't do a lot of damage.
Shaman's healing suite is not the best in the game, but cards like healing rain are probably more reliable sources of healing than this.
Reverse spirit claws.
Probably pretty good. I'm not sure that this is better than Likkim for even shaman, but the potential for burst is interesting.
Doubt that this slots into any other shaman deck, unless spell damage matters shaman somehow bursts into life.

Potentially playable in odd rogue?
This seems pretty good as a way of applying a body and getting some immediate damage.
You could use this in a togwaggle deck, but if your opponent knew what you were doing they would just wait a turn.
In most cases, this card's power will be inversely proportional to how popular it is.
As always, copying enemy cards is an unreliable strategy.
