New Warlock Minion - Herald of Shadows

I wanna call this insanely good but I'm not sure how easy it is to consistently activate.

On paper this is what Warlock needs to beat Divine Shields (which they struggle with right now). It's great against Paladin and useful enough against anything else although it's unfortunate there's no deeper Naga synergy for Warlock. I guess it makes Crushclaw Enforcer better in Curselock

Its not a bad card but current in warlock there's really very little proactive shadow spells around, so even triggering this card's effect is tricky, let alone doing it on curve.

And then there's the fact that any deck playing these shadow spells tend to control decks. So in what world does a 4/4 for 3 that does 2 damage fits that playstyle? If warlock isn't nuking the board, they're drawing cards or healing their face.

But its a decent card so I expect it to see play in future, assuming there's more support on the way. There's still hope.

Very good at dealing with divine shield, which is very popular because of mech paladin and handbuff paladin. However this is mostly a aggro card, and i just don't see the synergy... The only warlock deck that uses a bunch of shadow spells is abyssal curselock, and i don't think Herald of Shadows fits in that deck. Additionally this seems more like a "zoolock" card, which is weird, considering the fact that murlock is heavely pushed this expansion.

Honestly i feel like Herald of Shadows is more of a teaser card, teasing a more shadow spell synergy archetype for warlock in a future expansion. 

Edit: Double checked, the best "aggresive" and cheap shadow spells rn for a deck with Herald of Shadows are: Final Gasp and Curse of Agony. All other current shadow spells are more defensive cards, like Dragged Below. Herald of Shadows really wished Raise Dead was still in standard.
