Did they nerf something or do I not understand the effect of this minion?
- I have one Replicat-o-tron on the board and it transform one of my minions into a copy of it ==> having two Replicat-o-tron now
- Next turn: I place two minions in between those two Replicat-o-trons. At the end of the turn only the first Replicat-o-tron copies itself while the 2nd does nothing.
As a 3/3, this is just bad as is. If damaged, the copy will be damaged which means diminishing returns and easy to kill off.
BTW what happens if 2 are next to each other but different? left to right order of actions?
Probably older one goes off first
So, it this a problem with zero mana Librams or is that too slow? Zero mana spells have been problematic for Hearthstone in the past so I'm a little worried. Also, Kael'thas Sunstrider plus Librams give free Paladin buffs to multiple creatures. Hmm...
Good with a class that makes a bunch of lackeys?
Hmm, seems to be the usual experimental epic that, if overtuned can break the game, so get what looks like an under-powered version to see what happens.
Outside of some slow magnetic shenanigans in wild, I don't see any way for this to do anything, but throw a zilliax or wargear on it and we are talking. But again, that's pretty slow, and this guy can ruin your own board if he feels like it. Still, I'm glad they went with caution on this one, as he could have very easily been a problem if he was overtuned. Probably could have been a 3/4 though and been safe.
Adjacent...neighbor...adjacent...neighbor...
Why can't they be consistent with the wording?
Then I remember this is HS. Consistency is almost out of the question.
Seems good with wild with magnetic :o
Not entirely sure how this card fits into the theme...
Kangkors army would be busted with this one lol

Great for token boards and another way to remove invading Hellfire Warders.
ASSIMILATE, OR DIE
Because it requires some assistance to be strong enough for competitive I'd lean towards it not seeing play, but stranger things have happened. The fact that you can buff this into a monster - that would then replicate into other monsters - is a big plus.
In some respects it's a much weaker Faceless Corrupter - Losing 1/1 for 1 (which is normal), but also not having rush. But then, again, it can copy itself onto others, so there's upside over Corrupter there which only has the battlecry.
It would be curious to see how the EoTs interact when you have multiple out - I'm assuming it will be timestamp order (when they entered the battlefield), but it could make for some shenanigans depending on which one copies onto which minion.
Paladin staple
This card would be a lot more fun if magnetic was still a thing in standard but this card has some crazy potential in priest and paladin.
