"Finally, I expect we will see some kind of neutral synergy with lackeys, such as Gazlowe with spare parts, which could potentially make any of the lackey generators significantly stronger."
6 mana 5/4, Lackey Overseer. Effect: Whenever you play a lackey, add a new one to your hand.
If this said Discover a Lackey, it might see play. But I agree with most here, this is a worse Blood To Ichor. While some of the Lackeys could be useful, they are too situational to be in any consistent deck.
for sure an enabler card that generates a card. The real question is does Warrior need such an enabler card, and are lackeys on average good enough to be worth generating.
This card might beinteresting considering that more lackeys will be added throught the year. Might see some fringe play. Doubt that it is going to make the cut with baku going out
That's a list of good cards that will almost certainly be seen in any rush or control warrior (or sometimes both). This card works so well with all of those, I can't imagine that it isn't played.
This is a better execute activator than Slam in control Warrior because it maintains the same 0 for 0 value, without thinning your deck in control mirrors. Depending on how the lackeys shape up in practice it could also be useful in midrange/rush builds, though I'm less inclined to think it will shine here. Overall I think this is a very good card. It isn't going to shape the game around it but it has great utility.

The only issue with this mentality is that you are doing a 2 for 1 effect when there are better options. Although I do approve of it since I would like to see more enrage minions in genral.

It's a 1 for 1 since Improve Morale generates a card (the Lackey). Depending on the Lackey and the situation, it can be a 2 for 1. Ditto with something like Acolyte. Basically, the only time you will play this for negative value is with Berserker or Grommash which are ending games, so the value matters less.
But my larger point is just that this is an enabler for so many good-to-great warrior cards that it seems likely to see play.
If only Enrage was a thing, then i'd consider this card decent. We've seen the power of lackeys which are pretty good so this might make a decent aggro tool, who knows?
Blood to Ichor was played when it first came out. this is more of lategame value card, but it has some decent synergies in a Rush deck. COuld be used to activate Redband Wasp for example.
Its better than Blood To Ichor, a 2 mana deal 1 damage + lackey effect 1/1 is better than 1 mana deal 1 2/2 vanilla (especially in the mid-game). That being said its not good enough to compete with other stuff we are getting.
It really depends on the powerlevel of the lackeys being consistently good to make this viable or not.
Currently, warrior doesn't want a lot of the lackeys that have been printed. If they print something like a lackey with a Whirlwind or Execute effect, this could be considered playable. Still, the lack of an option to discover the lackey will always hold this card back.

Is it a typo or a "lost in translation" type of an error? Am I the only one bothered by the missing "to'? :(

As long as Warrior can get some decent enrage minions, this could be worth it since the Lackey's all seem pretty stupid fun/good

this should be 0 mana to see any play
Cheap enrage activator, gives you a lot of high value cards. I think it'll see play in Rush Warrior.

I tried having fun once. It was awful.
Why does it say "add a lacky your hand" and not "add a lacky to your hand" ?
can combo well with Frothing Berserker or Redband Wasp in the early game

If Mortal Coil see play in Warlock, this will see play too. Both replace it self.
Dust again, and again...
