Looks good in either zoo or big demons for warlock.
Also looks good for a midrange DH.
There are legendary demons, are they? Because a 1mana get one good card gcard is definitely good enough to see play.
Well, this is certainly playable.

If you’re playing this, you’re gonna have a good target for it, so for 1 mana copying a good demon it seems pretty good
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
I'm sure there's a lot of other implications, but right now I'm just wondering what Outcast will be like applied to the other classes. How much of an effect will is really have on the playstyle for warlocks or hunters who use the duel-class cards?

I can't imagine this card not being used at some point or another. It is very flexible and useful. There are a lot of Warlock decks and Demon Hunter decks that wouldn't mind getting an extra demon, and the buff is also nice. 5 stars.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Turn 3 I play the Concede card if I don't have removal in my hand.
This card effectively cycles itself by adding another card from your deck to your hand, and comes with the nice benefit of buffing both as well. Unsure if it will see play in DH, just because there aren't that many good hits besides Battlefiend. I suppose Sightless Watcher wouldnt be awful, but I don't think DH currently has the demon infrastructure required to make this card see play. Warlock on the other hand runs Flame Imp, Voidwalker, and Fiendish Servant in zoo, making it far more likely that this hits something cheap and useful.
10/10 pun, and very solid card all around.
Remember when Simulacrum was played in Quest Mage? Exactly.
5 stars for the name of the card. I was expecting a larger percentage of this set's cards so far to be puns. The card's effect seems interesting and fair so 3 stars.
I like that this is for locks as well. They had their fair share of "outcast" mechanics before, so it will fit them nicely. Now the question is - which demons are worth copying. Any good legendaries? - the prime maybe?

looks terrible to be honest...
Tempo DH doesn't have time or the need to copy their weakest demons.
Big Demon Hunter could possibly use it, but that deck doesn't even exist and after the Priestess of Fury nerf I don't think it ever will.
For Warlock it's just a complete bust. Zoo probably doesn't care about this (not that it's necessarily bad, but I wouldn't waste a card slot on it) and Big Demon Handlock can't efficiently use the outcast effect (nor does it need to).
The only gimmick I could see is using it in a Quest deck where you aim to discount a demon to 0 with the hero power (or the Dark Portal) and then copy that one for a big tempo play, but that seems incredibly inconsistent.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
...but Quest Mage was an OTK deck. There is no Demon OTK for Warlock or DH

Nice addition for zoolock. 2 4/3 Flame Imp looks strong on early.
By The Holy Light!
But if there is one in the future..
then it would need to be one that specifically requires you to get more copies of a specific minion than you can put in your deck (which is why Simulacrum was used in the first place).
Needless to say that will never happen because Team5 have stated that they don't like uninteractive OTK decks and tend to curb them whenever possible. This is a value card, and an inconsistent one at that.

Good for big warlock and big DH, no good for pretty much nearly every warlock/DH deck. Just a super solid card. There HAS to be some big/strong dual class legendary for Both classes.
Also notable synergy with Flesh Giant, this turns 1 Flesh Giant in hand into (best case scenario) a *1 mana 18/18. THATS REALLY GOOD.
*Including cost of Felosophy.
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.
Flesh Giant is not a Demon, so that won't be happening.
Whoops should have probably taken a better look. Thanks telling me! Now i'm wondering why i thought it was a demon in the first place... lol

Could be used to copy big demons in renolock. Copying big demons is good, but expired merchant combos provide more power by copying the resurrection cards instead.
Probably doesn't see play in odd DH just because the only really great target is battlefiend, unless more strong odd demons are printed.
Maybe in discardlock, where most of the demons are quite strong.
Looking forward to trying this out in renolock, but I'm not overly optimistic.
This post is discussing the wild format.
Cheap copy and buff seem nice but the buff doesn't seem super substantial unless its on doubling imp or something. Although I undervalue bonus stats a lot.
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
This can copy Kanrethad Prime, and that's probably the best value in warlock for this card.
In Dhunters, this is practically one of the best value cards in a big demons deck. Great even on discover.
I love the design of cards like these, just plain value cards that are specific on its effect.
Gimmicky but fun concept, at least on paper - curious to try it out
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This is a strong card, not just because of it's effect but because of it's cost and flexibility.
When the Boomsday Project came out, Warlock got Soul Infusion which gave the left most minion +2/+2 in stats. while it was a dead turn 1 it would be used for an impressive turn 3 with doubling imp creating 8/8 worth of stats across the board. This iteration of Zoo was popular until Year of the Mammoth rotated out.
with this card, the zoo deck utilizing Imprisoned Scrap imp can double a single demon card to spread the hand buff even further, not including the hand buff that the felosophy can give with outcast. The current tempo demon hunter only has 2 demons in the current list, which I don't believe is enough to warrant using this card.
That said, like Warlock, Demon Hunter has a nice assortment of mid to big range demons, the two most popular being Preistess of Fury and Imprisoned Antaean, although Hulking Overfiend has seen some play as well. Warlock could get some benefit from multiple Enhanced Dreadlords, Imprisoned Scrap imps or even Flame Imps if they need more activators for Flesh Giant and Brittlebone Destroyer.
it'll be interesting to see the decks this card winds up in, I believe it will be a staple for Demon Hunter and Warlock until it rotates in Standard
Edit: I forgot that Warlock has The Dark Portal available as a tool for handlock decks, which can allow for a big demon to be discounted, and then duplicated with this card.
In zoo this is one mana draw a card give it +1/+1 which is actually quite nice.. Now we need a demon that wants to be hand buffed, more than a voidwalker
ZOOOO-Lou
worth a big demons archetype ...
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
This is very good - not only for Zoo , alltough i think this will see lot`s of play in Zoo.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Pretty interesting. My mind went to zoolock, but it's pretty good with Voidcaller or just any demon in general, actually. In a big demon deck getting the outcast probably isn't even that important, which is great since you'll likely have problems with moving it in your hand.
Cringe reveal video aside, this is a pretty cool card. The Outcast effect is a nice bonus, but gaining extra demons is a nice effect. Part of me wants to say that this is an auto-include in Warlock decks since it's only 1 mana, but it remains to be seen what Demons come with this expansion.
Started playing HS in May, 2015. The bad news: I missed the excitement of 'Naxx out?' and GvG. The good news: I never met an Undertaker.
The card is strong. 1 mana to duplicate a "victory condition" is insane....but the problem are the dedom to copy. Right now we haven't many demon that we are happy to copy :(
This was my thought exactly! It's weird having class-specific abilities available to a different class. Hunter can Choose One, Mage can combo, and Druid can Overload. What's next?
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Decent value, consistent and very flexible! Could be used in zoo for more minions to full the board or to get another big guy for the late game.
Seems too slow, unless we get some more demons that scale insanely with it like Doubling Imp. Great reveal video though.
Great name, great effect. I like Felosophy a lot
It can be for aggro and value deck, right. Well this is one to look out for, i'm certain.
perhaps this might be the thing that makes Big demon Warlock playable. If you draw a big demon off the Dark Portal or Quest Hero power you can do some crazy things (and the Outcast isn't really relevant and just a bonus).
It's also currently the only efficient way to duplicate Kanrethad Prime, which would be the win condition for that deck.

because it is the ugliest thing in the world ?

Probably yeh, lol.

Good card, wrong meta. When more big demons are printed in the future this will almost certainly be in those lists as an extra copy of what is needed.
Good in zoo, will have to see if it's good enough though. My initial reaction is it will be run but will be one of the first cards to be cut as new cards are released in later expansions.
One mana with a reasonable tutor effect is pretty good. The outcast is just a small bonus but it can be good as well.
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
Doubling some minions is gonna be really useful
One of the best cards in the set
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
A cheap way to copy Spirit Jailer and Void Drinker in Warlock for your Soul Fragment synergies. Good to play without the outcast and playing it with the outcast is a nice added bonus, though I think this doesn't make sense in aggro decks as they'd rather run a card with better standalone tempo instead. This makes more sense in a slower Warlock with the mentioned demons than in DH to me as I think DH cares more about the tempo as a win condition as Big Demons in DH isn't a consistent win condition and the archetype isn't getting enough support to help it.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Decent, might make it in some Zoo lists.
Looks amazing,probably will see play
cheap and can be made use in any kind of warlock/dk deck with demons in it
All hail the banshee queen.
Hadn't considered the Soul Fragment card interaction. This might have a use, and DH certainly has some very good demons they'd like more copies of that are also bigger.
This cards seems like it will be really nifty and cute when it works or when it is randomly added/discovered. It probably won't make it into any lists on its own, but maybe an aggro-demon list will make this playable, especially since Frenzied Felwing has ridiculously strong synergy with this card (even without the outcast effect).
This card has some potential.
I guess he's a nihilist. And he seems like Nietzsche. Good flavor on this card
Zoo is always a thing, so will this.
Pretty spicy card for both classes, I reckon this will see some play.
Outcast is a mechanic that drives me crazy - whenever I play Demon Hunter, I spend too much energy trying to get that outcast bonus, and the RNG Draw gods just love to mess with me. I can just see my mulligan now. . . card one, Archwitch Willow, card two, Felosophy. That said, getting another Spirit Jailer to score more Soul Fragments seems to be the key use for this card, though later on you can double a big ugly Demon Hunter card or Kanrethad Prime for maximum entertainment value. It'll be a fun play around card that may end up being reliably strong.
I have a feeling this is an auto include card in the new soul fragment deck due to Spirit Jailer. Keen to see it in action.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Love the pun
-=alfi=-
DH now gets to copy as well. O.o What can't this class be allowed to do?
Thanks to denial, I'm immortal.
Maybe because it is hideous?
Great for Demon-based decks. Especially if you are running a lot of mid-sized to large demons in a control deck; more resources and more stats!
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.
Very strong card, specially if you can make use of the Outcast effect. Great synergy with Battlefiend!
I want to use this on Big Demons, but I think it might generally be better on smaller Demons that you can spam out. Zoo card, most likely.
