Yea, I opened him up too. Initial glance is he's way too slow to see play... but there is potential.I'm really new to all this. I can't even think of how I would use the one legendary I got. Deathrattle of does 8 damage to ALL minions.
Problem is he has poor stats and the effect is a deathrattle and doesn't hit enemy hero.
Mage can't afford to spend 8 mana on an 8/6 body in most cases.
If he had Taunt or if the effect was a Battlecry he for sure would see play somewhere as it's 1 more mana for 2x Flamestrike damage and a body (assuming text was changed to not kill self).
As it is, you can't use him reliably to clear an existing board and in most cases he's overkill. Flamestrike is hardly used but is normally enough damage and doesn't require setup time.
I think this Legendary would have been awesome as a 9 or 10 mana play and the effect be a Battlecry.
He does act like a 8 mana Doomsayer in that he must be removed before your opponent can play a minion, except he doesn't kill himself after 1 turn.
With less sticky minions it's possible he finds niche play somewhere.
