Both options are kinda weak for the cost. Maybe the spell damage synergy is going to safe this, but I doubt it.

You definetely want to use his base version on a silver hand recruit for a fairly big stat swing at just 5 mana (5 mana 5/9). Unlike most of the other miniturize cards the base version seems to be the main reason you want to play him, with the mini only being a neat, but not weak, secondary effect.

Hopefully this is strong enough to become a stable a la Tar Creeper. Loved that card.

Fairly weak but at least not extremely slow on its own, but once again minituarize might make it viable. Probably not in aggro decks who would most care about the damage, and certainly not in control decks who have better removel options, but absolutely in midrange decks.

This + Wheel of Death = Profit. Well, you are most likely going to die just by playing 8 mana "do nothing", but a man can dream.

I don't know about that. Famished Fool didn't really saw much play and that card was a lot easier to trigger, while not being completely useless without fulfilling the condition.

Because there is no point in using Honorable Kill. They don't need the extra textspace here and there are no other cards that directly interact with the keyword. There would be nothing to gain and a bit of accessibility to loose here.

I didn't even think aboiut Gaslight Gatekeeper. Yeah, that might push this into viable territory, just as a pure stat dump. A shame that warlocks no longer have Shadowflame.

The main problem with Celestia in my opinion was not that it could transform into something with low stats, but that your opponent knew that her effect was going to trigger. Kinda like a open Mirror Entity secret. This doesn't solve the issue, while being even easier to remove.

Definetely seems like a strong neutral option for slower decks. Especially with lifesteal.

Might see some play as a combo tutor, but maybe not even that at 4 mana.

Spell damage, mana cheat and druid card. Some physchologist once said that every day you should do something that scares you. Seeing this card is more than enough for the day.

Probably only really usable as a expensive Fire Fly for the elemental synergy. Getting temporary cards have never really worked out, as seen by Submerged Spacerock

Simple, but effective. It would have already been alright without the minituarize keyword, but with it it's going to open up quite a lof of new combo potentials.

That's going to be a fun one, that's for sure. At least it's better than Duskfallen Aviana. I have no idea what they were thinking back then.

Not every card needs to be viable and this is one of those cards that are made specfically for people are into this kind of challange.

Hope they change his name to "Magtheridon,  Released" on the 19th.

Seems kinda bad, mainly because outcast is pretty hard to trigger for slower decks and the effect is not all that powerfull on its own as Combustion has showed.

If the worst case is that you get a 5/5 with lifesteal for 2 mana, then this makes it a pretty good card in my book. Though definetely slow, but it's not like warlock is lacking early game removel.

8 is a lot. Seem like on of those cases where they originally tried out the card at a lower cost and overshot the nerf. Maybe this is stronger than we think.
