Not a bad card. Generally cheap cards that add more cheap cards to your hand a pretty good. Fire Fly, Acorn Bearer, Bloodsail Flybooter, Pharaoh Cat, Sludge Slurper, and Springpaw are/were good cards. The only downside to this card is that it can't be used by itself as a turn 1 play. Though I think it is good enough that it will still be played anyway.
Why the hell haven't they nerfed Sorcerer's Apprentice yet? This card is yet another reason to Nerf that damn thing. People thought Open The Waygate was the issue so Blizzard nerfed that, spoilers, the Quest was never the issue. Its the raft of cheap spells that Mage has access to.
Combine 1 Mana Spells with a Sorcerer's Apprentice and a Flamewaker then include a cheap source of Spell Damage as well and Quest Mage is going to be an even bigger problem than it already is.
I don't see this card being played. I just simply don't think any deck needs this card. Priests have enough ways to copy things, and paladins don't have a ton of things they want to copy.
I don't think the card is bad, but I don't think any "top tier" deck will be playing this.
In Rogue there's a clear synergy with Bamboozle, but it's hard to imagine anything about that play would be secret - if your opponent sees you have a secret up, they'll assume Bamboozle, and depending on what 5-drops you get, may very easily determine which is the one that dies instantly (e.g. you're probably not going to make Earth Elemental the vulnerable one). So, it may be too easy to play around this even with support.
In Mage the case for this seems harder to make. There's no synergy with Spells Only Mages, where minion generation is particularly valuable, and currently there are no secrets like Duplicate and Splitting Image which would better support this the way Bamboozle does in Rogue.
All that said, I don't think this is a bad card. Obviously it's very vulnerable to any cheap AOE, but if result is that your opponent spends a card and you're left with a random 5-drop (albeit injured), that's a decent trade. And if your opponent doesn't have any AOE, they may be stuck attacking into what is admittedly a lot of tempo for the price, potentially making bad trades as they go to test for "instant death." And in cases where you get a particularly good deathrattle (e.g. Convincing Infiltrator, Waxadred, Totem Goliath, or Scrap Golem, etc.), the "instant death" downside may be easily mitigated.

I'm using RSS feeds to access the articles of outofcards. I'm using inoreader, but I suppose it is the same with other rss readers.
For the generic RSS for all the news on the site, each article has an image associated to it. (it's pretty convenient for cards for instance)
I'm more interested in news about hearthstone and runeterra, but when I select these specific feeds, I get the post, but not the image. Do you think you can resolve this issue? Or add this feature?
By the way, thanks for the content, you're doing a great job.
I would have prefer lower stats on the summons and a "good effect" on the minion that doesn't die to any damage. Regardless, I like fun cards and this seems fun.
New Mage Minion - Lab Partner
Just a good 1-drop. It is above average and will therefore be played.
Really I am just happy to see Spell Damage be a thing.

Why? It's a Meme, nothing more and nothing less. If you unpack this you will be sad and I can't yet see a world where you would craft it.
Alongside some of the other Cards revealed so far this is easily in the bottom 3.

So they are both treants and totems ? Weird things (like this) happen if you don't give treants a tag...
Btw, as much as i understand from video, this card works with Stelladris because token that has overload has summon text aswell.

Scholomance already has a lot of excellent 5 drops so that helps. I'd include the warrior legendary because it has rush,
