Its not too bad, but in warlock its just unusable. The cost is simply too high, even if the idea is to get taunts out. You're better off playing something like Demonic Assault, which guarantees two taunts and 3 damage removal, at a lower lost.
So with that established, why even bother looking at this? Well, because its a shadow spell that neatly synergizes with Lady Darkvein very well. But seriously, just play demonic assault if you need taunts, because you're better off having lady darkvein copy something like Dragged Below, or even just plain AoE.
I am really liking these token warlock cards. It isn't something that has really existed for warlock much, so I am hopeful that these will continue.
Comparisons to Demonic Assault (a Fel spell) are way off target. Voidwalkers require nothing more than a stiff breeze to remove, while these take a bit of effort. This gets discounted by Shadowborn, copied by Tamsin, and copied by Lady Darkvein (hey, maybe you need it). You are simply never going to put Demonic Assault in a deck that wants Shadow synergy.
All that, plus the fact that it provides two bodies for infuse, means I give it 3 stars. (It's not as bad as people are saying, but I'm not super in love with it either.)
I think it's only good if you manage to trade first in order to summon the two taunt tokens. Have somy synergy with Lady Darkvein
This looks decent. Warlock currently doesn't really have any good taunts and is very vulnerable to just being bum-rushed once their removal runs out so this might help, although it migt be tough to get the activation consistently.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
It feels like this and Shadowborn were meant to be together.
Seems decent. Good with Shadowborn and Lady Darkvein.
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.
And the discount from Shadowborn still allows for Tamsin Roame Shannanigans!!
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Stealthily easy to activate, and off of Lady Darkvein it'll always activate from her tokens.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Doesn't seem super strong, unless it's played right before the new Legendary.
