No. It's viable because it really has no downside - just a temporary upside.
It's also pretty fucking great vs Mirror Entity. Also has synergy with pandas and recombobulator (pandas likely won't make it in ever, but recombob sometimes pops up in lists). You can even silence it with Keeper if you really want (would be worth if you have a sick 5 drop coming up and no 4)
It's also great in arena for all of these reasons - especially since Druid is a ping class, meaning if you smash it into another 2/3 you can finish off that 2/3 (though usually you're better off just playing a 3 drop).
I really do think this card will be a 2-of in every good druid deck. It may take people like a month to do it (like how it took a month for shredder to be the staple 4 drop) but it's really good.

it gets countered really hard by priest with a shadowboxer tho
you can just infinitely heal the wrathguard as it takes dmg from the shadowboxer
not sure if this will be viable given that a lot of the other cards incentivise hero powers and so the priest can just spam his more and make the warlock take really lots of dmg

People on reddit and whatnot are overreacting to Wrathguard tbh. Will it be played in Zoo? It very well could - it's strong enough in a vacuum. Problem is taking anything out. Maybe the haunted creepers? But those are pretty important against AoE, and help make knife juggler broken. The Dire Wolf Alphas? Those are important for activating eggs. Knife Juggler? Nah, those are actually stronger than this. Nerubian Egg? lol, u high nigga.
The reason why I am pessimistic is because most 2 drops trade with it, as does Flame Imp. Most early removal spells also kill it.
It is, funnily enough, an option for Handlock in the zombie chow slot. You can kill 1/2 of their guys and get closer to molten range in the process.
On the other hand, he's a liability late game.

another good card
(actually very good)
I am not so sure. In constructed a Crackle or a Frostbolt could not only take this out before it can attack, but you take damage as well. Furthermore the longer it survives the greater the risk to the playing Warlock as more powerful minions will be played resulting in greater risk to the warlock. Though I can see potential if this is combined with Sacrificial Pact.

It doesn't replace it. Wild Growth is guarenteed ramp. The 2/3 is temporary ramp.

That's the reddit mindset, from the comments I've read, yeah.
It's the wrong way to look at it because the wailing soul deck isn't worth it. You either have to fill your deck with random shit like Dancing Swords, Ancient Watcher, Deathlord, etc and then hope you curve out with them into a Wailing Soul - or you shove WS into a regular druid deck, which will be full of things that you don't want silenced. Either way it's not worth it. Plus, WS by himself is a 3/5 for 4 which is decidedly 'eh'. There's just no room for something like him in a world of Piloted Shredders.
The reason why this new druid card is pretty much the best card revealed yet (other than Tuskarr getting you totem golem and the possible but unlikely L+L deck) is because it's okay if the card isn't silenced. At worst it is a 2/3 that trades with something or eats a removal. At best it provides you a turn 3 shredder, and keeps you ramped.
Cool. More shit cards.

It's pretty fuckin good in arena if you have the coin.
Blizzard keeps pushing these combo cards, but they've failed to implement more decent 0 costing spells to go with them, as a result the class just becomes further and further dependent on the coin to excel.

Coin+this on turn 4 seems pretty tempo to me.
How is it a value minion?
It's a 1 mana cheaper boulderfist that requires a combo activator, doesn't seem much of a value card at all.
but maybe I'm wrong
