Damn, first Riftcleaver and now this? Good to see that warlock is getting some good cards.
Although this will be tough to play on curve without the coin since warlock doesn't have a 1 mana lackey generator (yet). A 3 mana 7/7 (subtracting the lackey's stats) is still insanely strong.
This card is insanely good. You want to play Lackey cards in your Zoo deck anyway, and now you're getting a free 5/5 after having spent their battlecry already? This will definitely be played, and I suspect we're gonna see another Lackey generator this expansion, warlock or neutral.
I can think of any ways to play it turn 3 without the coin unless a 1 mana lackey generator is added for warlock. But on turn 4 this is still good tempo
I think that 4-5 mana will be more balanced for this card. For example if this was rogue, it is just free 5/5 almost always. Rogues has no problem to generate lackeys in current meta. Maybe it is bad top deck if you have 0 lackeys.... but anyway I think it is too good.

Probably Blizzard, since they had it on the official site wrong. Doubt the Japanese site would just publicly blame Blizzard for their own fuck up.
I don't know how these things work behind the scenes, but due to the regular and relatively even cadence of reveals I assume that Blizzard are the ones that schedule when reveals should happen, not the individual revealers? With that in mind, a site like this (I don't know them, language barriers and all that) could conceivably have people checking their site all day for a reveal......... and oh, oops, sorry everyone it's actually tomorrow, you'll have to come and check our site all day AGAIN.
Maybe I'm cynical, but given the fairly obvious ad revenue bump the increase in traffic would cause, seems they would have a pretty good financial incentive, and since 'accidents happen', can try to avoid ongoing penalties from Blizzard. Unlikely we'll ever know, but I'd have to give benefit of the doubt to the organisation without the financial incentive to delay.
Blizz messed up reveals in the past, so thats why im not surprised that they would do it again. Also the site didnt seem to advertize "hey, we are revealing the card in 1 hour" and then nothing and only when ppl started calling them out tweet that "oh sorry, it is scheduled for tomorrow".
What i think happened is, they got the card, they got the time when to reveal it and then whoever made the official reveal schedule messed up that reveal by 1 days. Like you said, shit happens.
I think you're right about overinvestment. For aggro I tend to look for northshire, evil conscriptor and extra arms, and I'm not sad if I end up with a mass hysteria in my opening hand.
If I can get an infiltrator to stick, then hide a spirit of the dead behind it and other taunts, that's often enough to control my way to victory. Even if I don't draw bwonsamdi, top-decking those 1-cost minions gives me a steady stream of threats.
Forbidden words sounds like a good idea, but what to cut? Sn1p sn4p is a dubious inclusion as, while you can end up with multiple copies of it into your deck, you can end up shuffling the 1:1s, which seriously dilutes your deck.
Test subject could go: while the idea of getting extra arms back from it is decent value, the combo doesn't tend to come off too often, and it ends up being a dead draw.
Weaponised pinata is an option too, although the random legendaries it drops can make for a lot of fun :)
I'm gonna try ditching 2 x test subject for 2 x forbidden words. Will let you know how it goes...
3 Firelands portals, flamestrike, blizzard, 2 frostbolts, flamelance, Fireball, 90% well stated minions and to top it of, a ton of spell synergy. Not a single bad or useless card. As you would expect i did pretty well and finished 12-1. I got really excited for the gold reward this close to the new expansion and what did i get??? 235 measly gold ffs! Those arena rewards are so stupidly random!
Little upside: i won a game with 10 healt remaining and a random generated counterspell agains an obvious pyroblast
It‘s an epic though, won‘t see much play in arena. As long as they don’t boost this card.
I wouldn‘t write this card completly off for constructed. The stat distribution is not great but the effect would justify a 4/5. The extra attack is just bonus.
It‘s trading at worst 2 for one (as long as we forgett dynomatic but this card is busted anyways).
You will see this card most often in mage. Why mage? Khadgar + Conjurer's Calling = Profit :D Not that any mage will try for this specifically, but it will happen from time to time :)
Here is where those 1--1 cheapo's in your deck come in handy.
Not really. You dont want to kill your own minions to take less damage. Might as well play Illidan instead lol. This card is for tempo turns. Not sure if it will see play in constructed in Standard, but it should find its some in almost any WL deck in Wild, where you have more demon synergy and healing. Insane arena card too.

Wow, this is very strong. Turn 4 with a strong Battlecry, a 3/3 and a 5/5 seems OP, even if you have to spend turn 2 playing a 1/1 minion.
Uldum Warlock Card Reveal - EVIL Recruiter
Yooo is this legit? Cause if it is daaamn
New Warlock Minion - EVIL Recruiter
Pretty good card. Amazing in Zoolock.
Uldum Warlock Card Reveal - EVIL Recruiter
Getting a 3/3 and 5/5 body at turn 3? That's insane...
New Warlock Minion - EVIL Recruiter
right? imagine this in zoolock with evil genius
Uldum Warlock Card Reveal - EVIL Recruiter
strong as fuck
New Warlock Minion - EVIL Recruiter
This is insane tempo
New Warlock Minion - EVIL Recruiter
WoW, 8/8 for 3 mana if you have lacky to spare ?? crazy
New Warlock Minion - EVIL Recruiter
Lol so specific a condition for an amazing payoff. Now the question is if it's possible in warlock to do this consistently.
New Warlock Minion - EVIL Recruiter
Kinda insane to be honest.
New Warlock Minion - EVIL Recruiter

It should have been a Mech, at least it would have had a purpose in nerfing Warrior a little.
