Pretty sure it will be played in almost every warlock aggro deck^^
why pick it over argent squire?...I mean, there's almost no difference between the two, that's why it's so weird.
it's basically a minion we already have
Differences between this card and Argent Squire (besides better with PO, worse with DoA)
You can power overwhelming on this card and stick one creature on board
The shadowbeast it summons might be a demon, which would make sense and lead to some demon-tribe synergy
I imagine that the Shadow "Beast" is a beast..? Perhaps it's a demon? :P
In any case, it's a weak version of Haunted Creeper.
Where is the token? i need to see the token. IT'S DEMON?
Nope, it's a plain token

How is this different than Argent Squire?
It gets two deaths, which adds synergies with cards like Void Terror (slightly) and Power Overwhelming. DOOM! and Twisting Nether also don't fully clear it, so it's got quite a lot of synergy specifically for warlocks compared to Argent Squire. It will then also benefit from deathrattle enhancing cards in Wild, as would be expected. Overall, it's got a lot going on for just a 1 drop.
There's also pretty nicely curved Knife Juggler synergy (assuming nothing drastic happens to his soul during the Year of the Kraken nerfs).
It's deathrattle activates Knife Juggler, and you still keep a 1/1 if you use Power Overwhelming.
But in the case where you would give it a permanent buff, like with Defender of Argus, the Argent Squire would be better.
as a shadow beast
Any chance a "Shadow Beast" is in fact a Demon?
The absolute madman.
His expression is both silly and terrifying. Quick, someone photoshop a KrippO onto his face.
Seriously, this is too awesome. To think my first post is just to say "well played sir, well played"
