Perhaps the strongest swing card yet. But its likely home is warlock and priest, where board clears are plenty and expensive, and this card as a follow up is just broken.

Maybe also in shaman? But I'm a little …

Its actually really clever design. In the late game this is often draw a card for 1, which is more often than not a valuable piece than what you gave up. In the early game, its not really that bad …

This card isn't half bad honestly. A decently sized taunt for 3, and the effect gives your opponent a minion to play but that's irrelevant except to hyper aggro. An example of a arena-looking card that is absolutely not fit …

Its comparable with [card]command the illidari[/card], except it has a ludicrous condition that is very difficult if not impossible to fulfill its potential.

Maybe some combo with ETC God? More likely just arena fodder to me.

The only class that will use this card unironically is warrior, as a sort of last resort after a nzoth play, since that will likely revive your [card]armagedillo[/card], which will in turn make this a 6/6 at least.

But …

If its buffs you want, [card]costumed entertainer[/card] does that job better. This may have vanilla stats, but so does many others and every one of them have to justify its inclusion. I think this falls slightly short of the ideal.

Its [card]dyn-o-matic[/card]'s ghost back in standard.

Just a solid removal option for control warrior. Outside of that, its not really that great, since it doesn't ignore mechs or any specific tribe. But as an early game removal option, there's …

Its cards like these that makes me wonder why shaman's cards are so dreadful while other classes get stuff that makes sense. For what reason can we think that this could not have been a shaman card and instead must …

Its easy to corrupt, tutors a rush minion, and cost only 1 mana.

There's nothing else to discuss. Everytime you put a rush minion in your deck this card will simply pop out like an auto-spell check mechanism.

Seems good on paper, but what combo cards do you even want to run? Eh, it only really helps Miscreant and the new Draw 2 …

if it werent for that card [card]parade leader[/card], this card is total trash. Together, they make a good combo, but that's assuming you'd even play them in the first place. Alone, this card is not worth considering since it can …

You play this, make one massive minion which then proceeds to get [card]sap[/card]. Then you fling your arms into the air and wonder why the hell you'd even put this card in your deck.

The only card I can …

Just fodder really. Cant have so many good demons without also some mediocre ones.

At least its not completely trash. But I would still put [card]voidwalker[/card] above it.

It basically makes nearly every demon a threat, especially since this one gives warlock that all important healing potential, so its not just a cheesy win for face hunters or stealth rogue anymore.

Aside from this, it has vanilla …

It has taunt, and the minion it generates is aggressive. If you're running a midrange deck or zoo, this is amazing. Comparable to [card]savannah highmane[/card], and for that reason alone its not to be ignored.

If you cheapen it …

So much potential. But most likely you'll just be glad to draw 2 minions off this card.

The discount is nice, but a bonus. I can see a world where the odds of getting it off is at least …

Love the card, love the effect. But removal options have to either be consistent, or be powerful, or be cheap. Most importantly, they have to be ready on demand. This one fails the last point, as well as consistency.

…

At some point this will be a nice little centerpiece for a combo deck. But for now, I don't see it.

The major problem here is that you'll need to hold on to this card (which means drawing it), …

Its almost certainly trash.

The only niche it will ever have is that by some chance you get it off [card]wandmaker[/card], or some other generator, and coincidentally also plays an evolve deck, and your opponent is also coincidentally playing …
