    This is insane. Lackeys have proven their worth, especially in Rogue decks. The combo potential here is through the roof. You can play Leeroy and Shadowstep him, then next turn play Leeroy for 3, prep Scheme, Galakrond and draw 4 free Leeroys. Also, stick a Spirit of the Shark the previous turn and it's 8 Leeroys. Hard to set all that up, but massive potential.

    Considering toggwaggles scheme and Myra's exist it's hard to imagine this doesn't enable a bonkers combo with maly or leeroy or something.

    Powercreep. Just compare this to Sprint. Ridiculously strong. Have to see the rest of the set, but overall, very scary and indicates an overall raise of power level in the expansion.

    Good for tempo and some shenanigans combo with shuffling cards into deck with banker.

    This is a very good candidate for an early nerf. It may not happen, but drawing that many 0-mana cards is scary and can allow some degenerate combos. Malygos+Toggwaggle´s Scheme?

    Could be absolutely amazing.  And now we know that lackys are actually pretty cool, too - getting those when  you invoke gives some early tempo.

    The tempo Rogue dream.

    Rogue having their Invoke activators giving them Lackeys is already very powerful, top that off with this cards battlecry and you will have some huge tempo swings available. Compare it to Wondrous Wand and you can see how this card will see play.

    Powerful combos are back? Anyway, this one's really good for rogue's card draw... It may be nerfed?

    Holy moly thats a terrifying card.  Rogue has an easier time Invoking from bounce effects and Spirit of the Shark and arguably make the best use out of Lackeys.  This card can go into a value, combo, or just midrange.

    Very powerful and fun, so much potential combos with this bad boy. Also, a hero power that gives you a lackey? Yes, please!

    If/when you pull this off it’s going to be silly, I just wonder if the support cards are going to take up to many slots for the advantage to be as impactful as it seems it could be
