It's a strong effect and the 9 damage is really threatening, but he's mainly a tech against Jades imo. Other control decks don't flood the board so much where this is needed.
The main drawback is he's a 9 mana minion that requires a combo piece.. a specific piece (whirlwind). No other 9 mana minion has this requirement that I can think of.
Gromm being 8 mana can at least be triggered with more of a variety.
So yea, super strong effect, might be tech'd in specifically to counter Jades, maybe control warrior makes a comeback, idk.
Edit:
Seems great, works with the 2 drop & the Quest too. Hunter is back?
Stand Against Darkness + This guy for a "huge" 9 mana combo.. but I guess the Adaptation is copied, so what would even be good? +3 Health for 5 1/4 minions?
Probably hard to get good value from this and his stat line is very weak too.
Best idea I've read on reddit for this card is Jade druid deck... hold 1 Jade idol in hand, have 2x Auctioneers and everything else less than 4 cost. Play Hemet, everything destroyed. Next draw is 100% auctioneer.... start the jade machine.
The second two are pretty good. Not big on the Warlock thing, adapt is starting to seem pretty lame in how its implemented, but I guess there's a thin line for it being too strong.

That warlock card is great for zoo. So much 1/1 fodder usually.
The elemental cards seem good. 5 damage battlecry is strong, but it's an expensive minion at 7 mana. Servant is decent, kinda replaces Drake for elemental decks as it is a pseudo-card draw.
