If you want to save money when buying Hearthstone packs, you should check out Amazon Coins! It's an easy way to save up to 25% off Hearthstone packs so you can get into the new expansion without worrying about your wallet too much. We've got a detailed guide on how to Get Started with Amazon Coins, but if you've already dealt with them in the past, you can buy some more by clicking right here.
There are some very clear archetypes this card might fit in (Token Druid and Quest Hunter are two examples) but Fire Fly this is not, as the most important thing about Fire Fly was your ability to play it on turn 1. There are cards like Scavenging Hyena or Helboar that might benefit from you having easy access to cheap beasts, and maybe if they print more cards that want you to play beasts or have beasts get killed this could be interesting, but right now I doubt we'll see a lot of it.
Should be at least playable. This is not exactly comparable to Unidentified Elixir (divine shield on two minions is not exactly +2/+2, sometimes its better, sometimes the buff is more important), but the 1/1 copy ability was often one of the better outcomes, and the shield on both seems great, so this should be playable.
Seems really powerful in Priest thanks to the Sethekk Veilweaver and Dragonmaw Overseer, both of which you want lots of copies on board and both of which are vulnerable. This is probably good in a lot of Paladin decks too - there are a few good deathrattles and loads of taunts for this if you're playing for value, and there's stuff like Sky Claw for aggro.
Just dropping Nat can be very powerful. But like ESL all the hard removal and mana burners make it so I try not drop heavy monsters or if I do their summon ability is what I am banking on because it’s doubtful they’ll stay on the broad long enough to attack.
Maybe I’m biased against Nat my deck isn’t quick enough to smack him down before he gets to go deep
Its only hope is 1 drop, coin into this for a big 1 drop and a 1/1 on board. Not too bad. Unfortunately, this card will likely just never see play because of consistency problems.
But who knows? Maybe the cute little token is good enough reason to include this in your deck. Outside of that, its just too far a stretch.
Alot of people compare this with Fire Fly, but its more comparable to Fallen Sun Cleric, except you can play this for one mana, and choose to hold the other 1/1 in hand.
Lets face it, this is not a 1 drop even if you can drop this for a mere 1/1, its at best a 2 drop that requires a minion to stick, and unless the effect is game ending thats not usually a good sign. Unlike Fallen Sun Cleric, which never saw any play, this one can still count on its lucky stars that it goes wide and the fact that you can go 1 drop, coin into this, might* just be enough to save it from neverplayed land. Maybe in a theoretical beast hunter deck or a token druid deck. Outside of these, its just not very good.
The casters will be L0rinda, Jia, NaySyl, and the Americas Grandmasters duo Gallon and languagehacker.
Some of Blizzard's recent remote-casted tournaments have had some audio issues time to time though so he might end up solo casting something, but at least it isn't intended.
Very skeptical about it. It's not a turn 1 play (unless you run Wisp) and it's a pretty bad topdeck.
There also isn't a hunter deck that really requires this at the moment (Midrange Hunter is a pipe dream at this point, you can't really rely on the 1 2 3 4 5 curve into Highmane anymore)
There is some interesting synergy with Arcane Fletcher (in case people forgot about that card) because it's a spell that gives you a 1-drop, meaning it kind of cycles itself.
by top deck you mean when your hand is empty? cause most 1 cost cards are bad when top decked so it's not a factor, this is actually better than most 1 cost cards late game at least you get more flexible mana placement and maybe a better trade..
there are 2 other druid/hunter cards we didn't see yet so maybe this have a lot of synergy
I really like this card but remain slightly skeptical about how strong it will actually turn out to be. I'd imagine it'll see play at least in Standard Highlander decks.
It's also fun to watch how some think it's going to be better in Mage decks due to the more playable Spell Damage minions they have access to and some are backing up Shaman due to the natural 1/4 chance to get the correct Totem. My vote in slightly on the Mages' side.

This could help aggro kingsbane pirate rogue return. Probably will only make odd rogue stronger though.

Excited to try this in big paladin. Probably not broken, but copying huge minions in paladin sounds fu
