This card is a perfect fit for any deck that runs lots of deathrattles or continuous effect minions (Thaurissan, Rag, Malygos etc), so it's definetly going to see play. Midrange Hunter and all N'Zoth decks will love this card for sure.
Imo, this card isn't bad, it's really not, but I know for a fact people are gonna overrate the balls out of it. It's a good card in a lot of ways, but I still think it's not gonna be used as much as people think they're gonna use it. Kripp is gonna say this card is op #callingit
He could be super good in a 30-legendary deck!
How much the copy costs? If it has the original cost i can predict insane Evolve turns. And great sinergy with Master of Evolution and Recombobulator.
Now that you mention it, evolve is probably the dirtiest synergy with this card.
in the worst case, its a 4 mana 4/5 split into 2 minions. in the best case, the sky's the limit on what it can do. it is better tempo than both herald and shadowcaster, which is why it will most likely see a bit more play. i can see it being played in heavier midrange decks and control paladin/ warrior/ priest, and might be a decent minion to help this archetypes compete with the faster decks in the meta purely by virtue of it spawning 2 minions instead of 1 the turn its played, and sometimes the generated minion has a ton of value behind it. definitely a win-more card, but is on par with other cards at the mana slot in its worst case.
I wonder if this could be used in Tempo Mage. Very few minions in that deck don't benefit the board just by being on the board, for example, spell damage minions, flame waker, sorcerer's apprentice, Ragnaros, Mana Worm, and Antonidas. Only Yogg I think would be a bad pull.

At least he is not a class legendary, that means you can play him in N"Zoth pal. Too sad that he doesnt trigger summoned minion"s battlecry.
Yeah, because there so many class legendaries from adventures...
Yeah, you know, i was playing facehunter in wild for a while.
You could get a mini tirion.
He's really meh to me... He is a more RNG variant of Herald Volazj and Shadowcaster... Both of which I barely see in play... Blizz should stop making these kinds of cards IMO :(
I hope Blizz never takes your advice.
The difference between Barnes and Herald Volazj/shadowcaster is that the latter requires something to be on the board to get value. Barnes gets the value immediately, albeit with some RNG.
But those are class cards, this guy is neutral so can be played in like N'Zoth Hunter and Paladins for example. Obvious great synergy with deathrattle decks that run Savannah Highmane, Tirion Fordring+Ragnaros, Lightlord, Twilight Summoner, Sylvanas Windrunner, Cairne Bloodhoof, even some dragon/deathrattle hybrid decks that runs Chillmaw, Deathwing, Dragonlord, Ysera, Malygos, etc
This card better than Herald and Shadowcaster.
This card can be really good if most of the deck is about deathrattle for example Sylvanas Windrunner or effect that triggers at the end of the turn cardsSylvanas Windrunner or maybe strong spell damage cards like Malygos
Interesting idea, would it be too far fetched to make a deck with no other allies than Malygos and barnes? I mean, he could be used as a tutor/earlier wining condition, yet if you draw Malygos before you are screwed. Anyway, interesting card.
