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.
If you're ahead, then you're on course for victory anyway since totem shaman snowballs hard. But if from behind, this is still a 4/5 for 5, maybe 4/7 with Totemic Might, but its not exactly hard to remove. And one of the foibles of totems, which was why totem shaman tends not to do well from behind, is that they have 0 attack so its easy enough to value trade with anything.
With Lightning Bloom, I have no doubt this can easily get on earlier than usual, so its going to be a major threat either way.
Can you pls explain - I can receive from blossom premium pass only 1 guardian dog and other are just skins(that no pets and so I need buy pets for 590coins to use these skins?)
I like new stuff, but why even have daily quests if 90% of the items are behind a paywall. Just have only grindable stuff in the event list and the rest in the store.
Really love this card. Probably one of the few cards in dhunters that actually give some value, and it copies specific cards so its possible to just discount or buff something and get double the value.
Big dhunters can really use this, especially since Raging Felscreamer discounts and can stack.
Yeah, the outcast effect is really meh, nothing special. Its hardly doable in big dhunters anyway so its likely something to look at in warlock. Maybe double up and beef up a Voidwalker? That's still something, though I doubt this can fit into zoo. Interestingly this can double up Kanrethad Prime, but it might be just too far in the late game to do it.
There are some clear early game power plays with this and some potential for greedier decks as well. I think aggro decks will benefit the most though. Specially DH with their Demon Fiends and Satyr Overseers. Not excited about it.
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.
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.

I think you underestimate how proactive Shaman can be early these days.
There's a good chance you can slam this down and not have to worry about it being removed conveniently.
At the end of the day any token-based Shaman deck can just steal the win via Bloodlust, so any card that makes it inconvenient for your opponent to remove your boad is a threat.
This is basically the double threat of either getting doubled by Reflection or turning into 4 tokens to be buffed by Vessina, Storm Surge or Bloodlust.
Remember when Simulacrum was played in Quest Mage? Exactly.
...but Quest Mage was an OTK deck. There is no Demon OTK for Warlock or DH
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.
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 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?
This will get nerfed within two weeks or control decks are literally non-existant and Demon Hunter will solo the meta even harder than it already does.
Print this card for Warlock and it's fine, but putting it in Demon Hunter is about as idiotic as printing an unconditional Reno for Warlock.

Question about premium pass rewards
Can you pls explain - I can receive from blossom premium pass only 1 guardian dog and other are just skins(that no pets and so I need buy pets for 590coins to use these skins?)
or these rewards are all guardians by default?

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

Flesh Giant is not a Demon, so that won't be happening.

Predicting the Upcoming Dual-Class Cards From Scholomance Academy
Because Rogue pairs with Mage and Warrior and Priest pairs with Warlock and Paladin: there won't be any Rogue/Priest cards in the next expansion.

finally some good Totem Cruncher support. Wild meta will never be the same :^)

Well, Simulacrum cries in a corner.
Extremely good in Midrange-y decks with Demons, and Aggro can squish in the Outcast easily enough to recuperate the Tempo loss for casting.
The card deserves one extra star just for the name.
