Strategy
Expired Merchant is a delayed value generator, comparable to 
Loot Hoarder, but creating an extra copy of one of your cards instead of card draw. An extra copy of high-power cards Twisting Nether, Siphon Soul, or 
Lord Godfrey can prove useful is more suitable for control decks for that reason. Another great cards to discard are cards that trigger their discard effects like 
Silverware Golem, 
Fist of Jaraxxus, and 
Hand of Gul'dan not only they proc their effects essentially for free but also you can generate two more of those which you can discard them later as well.
It does, however, pose a potential risk against opponents with access to silence,transformation, or any sort of effect that removes it from board without destroying it like Sap and 
Psychic Scream. In this case, it may be better to kill the Expired Merchant quickly with something like Mortal Coil, Plague of Flame, Dark skies, or even 
Defile to guarantee its Deathrattle goes off.
Because the discard effect is targeted, you can use this to discard certain discard synergy cards for your advantage while creating value off of them. For example, discarding 
Soulwarden will let it continuously generate itself, discard High Priestess Jeklik to create four copies of her, or 
Cruel Dinomancer in Wild so that it always resummons itself.
