    So basically a 2-mana 3/3 that will have an upside most of the time. Basically guaranteed value unless you're playing vanilla minions without effects

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Nice. I liked Rat pack, but it was kinda easy to play around. This one is suitable replacement. Too bad it will get poped almost immediately, so you won't have it for activation of secret synergies :( .

    Pretty sure that everyone that saw the stream knows how busted this card is. That was just absurdly powerful. Countering this will be HARD, like really? Just pray your opponent for some reason plays a minion they don't want to copy?

    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.

    Great card! 2 mana for a 3/3 are nice value, and this secret has also nice synnergies with minions that have Deathrattles.

    Deathrattle support. Just imagine Teron Gorefiend being the target.

    I like this card. Seems like an upgraded version of Snake Trap as a tempo card. Same amount of stats, but this has the added benefit of card text or deathrattle.

    Love to drop this the turn after dropping Zixor, Apex Predator.

    Really nice Card. Your Opponent thinks he'll get rid of your Phase Stalker or [Hearthstone Card (Dwarfen Sharpshooter) Not Found] and BOOM. Bamboozled.

    Really good if you can bait out the right attack. This will suck if generated randomly and you don't have a good set up for it.

    Really great Hunter secret! People are going to forget to play around this at first. Even then, you can force some really bad trades making people play around this. I'm really excited for Hunter this expansion!

    Not bad for secret hunt deck but i don't see much effect in this besides making a minion sticky on the board..

    Worked out great for Chakki in the final reveal stream, so it's gotta be good right? haha. I can definitely see it having a home in the right Hunter deck; just have to find one.

    This card is mostly good for deathrattles, so whether it will see play will depend on a deathrattle hunter being good. It curves nicely from Shimmerfly or Helboar, but those cards are very vulnerable with only 1 health. I'm not sure whether this will see play.

    Seems like one of the better secrets Phase Stalker getting this and removed by trading is super annoying.

    Auto-include in lots of hunter decks. All secret hunters. Beast, mech, highlander, aggro; it fits everywhere because there's no downside when utilized correctly

    Good secret that if it copies a deathrattle minion brings even more value into the table. Really well designed.

    Good secret in the right deck and only there. It's need a lot of good deathrattle and/or effect minion to be worth it to be included in a deck

    Zixor says "Hello!"   Some of the secrets this expansion are going to be nuts!  I'm still not sure why Rogue got a Shaman flavored evolve secret.  Bamboozled should have been something like "When a minion is attacked, summon a Dummy of equal stats as the new target."

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    Very strange secret. Hunter does not get many secrets that 'protect' a friendly minion, so this has some room for use. Potentially good for board gumming with Khartuts or Sludge belchers, if the prophesied hunter control ever gets to playable.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    With all the deathrattle beast in AoE this is really a fitting secret.

    This is like a better splitting image, consistent stat line that will also have the deathrattle effect of whatever it's copied.

    A beautiful secret that can protect your board and trigger Deathrattles an extra time. I really cannot think of a "bad" target for this. As long as you are playing creatures with on-board abilities then this secret will be very valuable.

    Plus, this is a very good secret to get from [Hearthstone Card (Shadowjewler Hanar) Not Found].

    This is as good as the mana secret, but it will be best in deathrattle decks.

    Worst case, you get a 3/3 for 2 mana, any minion with a decent effect becomes amazing with this. Pretty much a guarantee it’s gonna see play

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    A solid card if you can make use of it. Can get tricky if it procs on a less useful target, though.

    Just a pretty good card. Even as a two mana 3/3 vanilla because, being a secret, it can force your opponent to play suboptimally.

    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)

    Good secret that’s hard to play around, really shines in deathrattle decks.

    This is awesome. It is kind of a random version of the 5 mana 3/3 faceless person who copies a minion. Powerful minions like Ziliax, The prime card, and death rattle cards go along smoothly with this

    A great tempo driven secret for the still decent secret package.
