Test 1. Can Barnes even pull such a card? If so I'm guessing that I will briefly get a non-interactive 1/1 that immediately goes dormant.
Test 2. Just for validation purposes, if Barnes can pull this and it starts dormant, play the real one to get the three candles shuffled in.
Test 3. That the candles draw effect the Barnes created copy and when fully drawn, you have two 20/20 on the board.
Test 4. Get it destroyed some how. Cast Eternal Servitude, pick it (if it is ever even an option) and expect another dormant card, now with absolutely no way to copy the Candles without some serious tricksy card copy/card theft. Have a minion slot on the board taking up space.
OFC I have no proof but I bet The Darkness will act differently than Sherazin. As you said, for you to get a 5/3 Sherazin from the 1/1 it has to die, and then the dormant token is created with new stats, ready to be revived as a 5/3.
Now, if Barnes can pull The Darkness out, it would be a dormant, 1/1 version of it. Why should awakening it change the stats too?
I don't think it's the awakening bit that will change the stats, I think it's the going dormant part that will. I'm not saying you're wrong necessarily, I just take exception to speculation stated with the confidence of fact. I do still intend to test my hypotheses and if you're correct, I will come right here and say so because that's the standard I hold myself to.
Probably the most overrated card of the expansion.
But one of the most fun if you can find a way to pull it off! In my opinion.
Hello highlander decks.....

Rez would summon a dormant 20/20 with no candles left in your opponent's deck to activate. If you rez this you are basically just saying "I don't need a seventh spot for minions, it's fine!"
I'm guessing no, since Ambush! from Beneath the Grounds gets burned instead of creating a 4/4 if their hand is full.
Darkness Candle
4 mana candle that you're forced to cast? This will totally destroy your curve. It's ridiculous.
This belongs in a dungeon boss deck.
It casts when drawn so it won't use your mana.
