Haven't had one since KFT, welcome back cutesy minions
Living like that.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Could be used with Felosophy to get two 2/2s for 1 Mana. Seems unlikely to work given that Felosophy would need to be outcast, but would be possible.
The impinite value card.
Best card so far
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Interesting potential with Felosophy or Gandling, but I don't expect this to be run.
The 0 mana 1/1 cycle continues, and I think that this one isn't great.
There are not as many synergies that reward early demons as beasts or murlocs.
This post is discussing the wild format.
Can't wait to summon 4 of these with Galakrond, the Wretched
I know right? Just imagining the fear in my opponents eyes when an assemblage of imps gangs up on them gives me goosebumps.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
It's quite unlikely that it will see play, but 0 mana minions are quite rare in the game, so it's always kinda cool in a weird way to see one. We just need our 0 mana 1/1 Elemental, Totem, Dragon, and Pirate now and we'll have a full set.
I agree, we always see either the 0/2 taunt or the wisp.
1/1 for 0.
A small niche in warlock with Demonfire maybe?
Otherwise, a poor inclusion. Can't even work with Magic Carpet, sadly.
For every Voidhound Galakrond summons, someone will be getting a Desk Imp on the other side of the planet.
This ain't no place for a hero
Only see this working for Zoolock or in combination with Felosophy for example.
Could be good - never underestimate 0 Mana Cards :)
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
This card has single-handedly dilute the demon pool right, like from discover or sth. It's okay, the little dude has done a great job.
Intersting card. Good with [car]Felosophy and Disciplinarian Gandling. But the best thing i.m.o. about this card is that it messes up Galakrond, the Wretcheds summoning pool! This card will see experimentation but i'm not sure if this powercreeped Wisp will see play after that.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
This was inevitable. And totally useless.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
The cutest card in this expansion for sure.
It dilutes the Demon pool (if you are looking to discover a demon / summon random demon), but other than that - some zoo / hyper aggro / + some buffs shenanigans may like that. Just to smorc you before t5 I think.

As far as Gandling fodders go, I still prefer to sacrifice Snowflipper Penguin over Desk Imp. Why would the HS community make Snowflipper Penguin card the posterboy of cuteness instead of Murloc Tinyfin, I will never know and I will always be resentful for it.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
I un-ironically love this card. 0 mana cards have always had some interesting application in some way or another and it'll be interesting to see what/how this one will be broken. If anything it seems like a fun goldfishing card and I always love that type of stuff.
Cardboard wizard and dog haver.
With Felosophy it 2 2/2 on turn 1...in all other case it's just a filler card with a cute artwork
At least it could be pretty like tinyfin or penguin...
Great at what it's supposed to be: cute card of the set.
This expansions tiny finn. I like cute 0 cost cards
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
The Demon upside over Wisp is only useful in Warlock and DH. Even then, both classes have better cheap Demons if they wanted that synergy like Spirit Jailer just to name one.
For glory, honor, and gold!
This is what I will get when I "summon a random demon". I love the artwork, it is cute.
Decent with Felosophy, but you are going to hate seeing it from some random effects.
Bad
Diversity in the (0) mana reroll pool is healthy - I honestly can't stand the sounds of the Wisps
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This makes getting random demons even worse.
Random demon generators got nerfed.
Three done, five more to go! Unless you count Target Dummy even if it's not a 1/1. Or if you add the all tribe.
I think this was created purely to mess up cards that discover a demon or add a random one to your hand.

just an imp......
All hail the banshee queen.
a 0 mana 1/1 usually doesn't have much impact on the meta, they're usually just cute and sometimes added in zoo or tempo decks for an additional tiny threat on the board.
With this set, however, both Priest and Warlock have Disciplinarian Galding, whose passive ability destroys friendly minions played and summons a 4/4 in their place.
The imp can be discovered by Demonic Studies, but I feel like you don't want to discover a free demon.
Felosophy has a strong synergy with this card if the outcast effect is activated, giving you two 2/2 that cost 0 mana to play.
This minion is cheap and flexible, and unlike other 0 mana 1/1 of previous sets this has synergy with enough cards to see some constructed or fun casual play
Pack filler but not as cute as Snowflipper Penguin. Galakrond warlock nerf.
At first, I thought this was going to be very strong (like Murloc Tinyfin for Murloc decks).
But then I realized that demons don't really have synergy that benefit from a 0 mana 1/1. Perhaps Felosophy will love comboing with this, but not sure there's a hyper-aggro demon list that will be good enough to want that combo.
Pack filler.
No comments.
By The Holy Light!
Pack. Filler.
Other than weakening the demon pool, this serves no real purpose.
Finally something for
and some cheap buffing.
Looks like a job for me.
5/5 stars just for making Galakrond, the Wretched impfinitely worse xD
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Cute, but that’s about it
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Infinite value? Infernal value? Paperweight?
Cute, but i can't think of a way it would be super useful over other things in standard currently.
Cutie of the set
-=alfi=-
:(
Thanks to denial, I'm immortal.
Demon Snowflipper Penguin
This and Wisp will make for a fun 9/9 minion on turn 5 when combined with Blessing of Authority. Which will make for a confusing bit of fantasy when a Paladin has a 9/9 demon on board!
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.
You can never ignore 0 mana cards. Probably decent in some sort of Felosophy deck
Really wanted to write a comically verbose review of this card, expounding all its many virtues but... it's Demon Wisp. Maybe some weird variant of Zoo runs it, I guess.
Welcome to the site!
Just pointing out snowflipper penguin saw play in token/egg druid I still play it in wild, the tag is sometimes good enough, I think that you can make a really powerful opening with felosophy and it does has a lot of synergy is zoolock, mostly to sacrifice for lackeys or failed students.
When Wisp writting is not polite

Wisp with Demon Synergy. Not great, but I guess Warlocks can make use of it in some way.
