    Could be used with Felosophy to get two 2/2s for 1 Mana. Seems unlikely to work given that Felosophy would need to be outcast, but would be possible.

    Interesting potential with Felosophy or Gandling, but I don't expect this to be run.

    The 0 mana 1/1 cycle continues, and I think that this one isn't great.

    There are not as many synergies that reward early demons as beasts or murlocs.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    I know right? Just imagining the fear in my opponents eyes when an assemblage of imps gangs up on them gives me goosebumps.

    It's quite unlikely that it will see play, but 0 mana minions are quite rare in the game, so it's always kinda cool in a weird way to see one. We just need our 0 mana 1/1 Elemental, Totem, Dragon, and Pirate now and we'll have a full set.

    I agree, we always see either the 0/2 taunt or the wisp.

    1/1 for 0.

    A small niche in warlock with Demonfire maybe?

    Otherwise, a poor inclusion. Can't even work with Magic Carpet, sadly.

    Only see this working for Zoolock or in combination with Felosophy for example.

    This card has single-handedly dilute the demon pool right, like from discover or sth. It's okay, the little dude has done a great job.

    Intersting card. Good with [car]Felosophy and Disciplinarian Gandling. But the best thing i.m.o. about this card is that it messes up Galakrond, the Wretcheds summoning pool! This card will see experimentation but i'm not sure if this powercreeped Wisp will see play after that. 

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    The cutest card in this expansion for sure.

    It dilutes the Demon pool (if you are looking to discover a demon / summon random demon), but other than that - some zoo / hyper aggro / + some buffs shenanigans may like that. Just to smorc you before t5 I think.

    As far as Gandling fodders go, I still prefer to sacrifice Snowflipper Penguin over Desk Imp. Why would the HS community make Snowflipper Penguin card the posterboy of cuteness instead of Murloc Tinyfin, I will never know and I will always be resentful for it.

    I un-ironically love this card. 0 mana cards have always had some interesting application in some way or another and it'll be interesting to see what/how this one will be broken. If anything it seems like a fun goldfishing card and I always love that type of stuff.

    The Demon upside over Wisp is only useful in Warlock and DH. Even then, both classes have better cheap Demons if they wanted that synergy like Spirit Jailer just to name one.

    I think this was created purely to mess up cards that discover a demon or add a random one to your hand.

    a 0 mana 1/1 usually doesn't have much impact on the meta, they're usually just cute and sometimes added in zoo or tempo decks for an additional tiny threat on the board.

    With this set, however, both Priest and Warlock have Disciplinarian Galding, whose passive ability destroys friendly minions played and summons a 4/4 in their place.

    The imp can be discovered by Demonic Studies, but I feel like you don't want to discover a free demon.

    Felosophy has a strong synergy with this card if the outcast effect is activated, giving you two 2/2 that cost 0 mana to play.

    This minion is cheap and flexible, and unlike other 0 mana 1/1 of previous sets this has synergy with enough cards to see some constructed or fun casual play

    At first, I thought this was going to be very strong (like Murloc Tinyfin for Murloc decks).

    But then I realized that demons don't really have synergy that benefit from a 0 mana 1/1. Perhaps Felosophy will love comboing with this, but not sure there's a hyper-aggro demon list that will be good enough to want that combo.

    Pack. Filler. 
    Other than weakening the demon pool, this serves no real purpose.

    This and Wisp will make for a fun 9/9 minion on turn 5 when combined with Blessing of Authority.  Which will make for a confusing bit of fantasy when a Paladin has a 9/9 demon on board!

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    Really wanted to write a comically verbose review of this card, expounding all its many virtues but... it's Demon Wisp. Maybe some weird variant of Zoo runs it, I guess.

    Just pointing out snowflipper penguin saw play in token/egg druid I still play it in wild, the tag is sometimes good enough, I think that you can make a really powerful opening with felosophy and it does has a lot of synergy is zoolock, mostly to sacrifice for lackeys or failed students.

    Wisp with Demon Synergy. Not great, but I guess Warlocks can make use of it in some way.
