I gave this 3 stars, but I think the mini version gets 4. At 3 mana plus casting a spell, it's not great. But a 1 mana version is nice.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
So Intrepid Initiate graduated from scholomance after all. However you can definetely see his age here. A conditional 3 mana 4/5 probably isn't good enough nowadays. A 1 mana 3/3 on the other hand would certainly be good, but only being able to play him from turn 4 onwards might even be to late for the mini version to be worth playing.
4 stars in general, the mini will get it's value back really fast, but the 4 4/5 is not the best actually.
That will deffinitelly hold it back

Decent minion for a spell-heavy aggro deck, and the mini means you get two for the space of one. It's OK, I'm not imagining this will go very far but maybe there's a deck or two willing to try it out.
I have spoken.
The base form is not so great, but the Mini form can be. Maybe in some sort of Aggro deck, it can be 4 or 5 mana for a 4/5 and a 3/3.
Spam decks staple, maybe a little too slow
4 Mana 7/8, could See play in aggro decks like Treant Druid.
Seems decent, just popoff on turn 3 with the coin and get the mini out as well
Most likely will be an Arena juicer
I agree with everyone else that the Mini is solid, but the fact that it's hidden behind a bad base form will probably mean it doesn't see much play. I'll pass on this one.
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

Tempo Rogue & Priest auto-include,
there's rarely an instance where these two classes don't have low cost spells waiting for discover something.
Why not put a Yeti on board for your opponent to fret over?
This seems insane in the Arena, especially with the coin.
This is Spellburst, right? Well, spending 3 Mana for 4/5, then 1 Mana for 2/2 shouldn't be too bad.
I'll echo everyone else and say that the base form doesn't interest me, but getting effectively a 1 mana 3/3 isn't a bad deal
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
