combos with Ancient Watcher to give you 2 4/5s on turn 6 where one has taunt and is weak to silence while the other can't attack and is buffed by silence.
What happens if you copy something buffed with power overwhelming? Looks like a good combo if it works.
Maybe, but too much conditional, you must to have a minion for attack, have this card + power overwhelming for work, the minions more useful with power overwhelming like nerubian egg is out of standard, I have my doubts.
In control warlock with giants it's see possibilites, but I prefer Argus instead, it helps in same situation and is better in others...
Quoting the site 'According to developers, it felt strange when you played a buff deck and it just happens to get countered because you happen to have two Silences innately built into your Druid deck.'
What the developers saying is that the Keeper of the Grove has a build-in silence effect no matter what deck you build. This is kind of not fair and thus may receive nerf. Not hint on silence effect will be nerfed.
Pretty cool card - though the wonkiness of it is that it'll take some work to get it to be an 'on-curve' 4 drop (either the coin, or an earlier minion with above-curve stats like Ancient Water or Blackwing Technician). Having said that, like its Faceless brother, it offers cost efficient stats when played later (I mean, Mountain Giant can be played on turn 4 in Handlock, and Molten Giant can later be played for free, but I don't think you'd begrudge two extra giants in your deck even if they'll always cost 4 mana and won't ever be 8/8 on turn 4).
The biggest issue, however, as I have no doubt has been brought up, is that it'll likely get absolutely wrecked by silence (depends how they work it, but I have to imagine it'll fall in line with current similar effects). Like, silence on this guy is effectively Polymorph (and who wouldn't play two Owls and two Spellbreakers if their battlecry read "transform target minion into a 1/1 non-beast sheep".
I think it's worse than a Sen'jin Shieldmasta or a Faceless Manipulator, he is too weak against Silence, and you can't do a lot of thing with him this two cards can't do themselves.
Pretty standard card. Might see play in a taunt warrior. Not sure about arena. You can use it to boost+protect your board but it's pretty useless during topdeck phase + it's better to be proactive than reactive in most cases.

They said that they look to change silence, so maybe it won't work against him.

Cool card. Should be a 3/3 so you can play this on curve without a board and still get a Ironfur Grizzly. Would match the stats from the Faceless Manipulator too very well. Right now, silence destroys this card :(
man this card is the easiest 100 dust ever. For 1 extra mana i can copy Ragnaros Ysera or Buffed Charger To win games. This is complete trash, if you need taunt even annoyotron is better, because it will 100% survive at least 1 attack. By the time this shit is played there will be minions on your opponent board that will most likely kill it with no problem.
Man this is so insane garbage. Just realize it: you can't play it on turn 4 because what will you copy? the best 3 drop you can copy is a death lord, which trades awfully with most 4 drops. Better just to play yeti.
Another stupideness: to play it YOU must have some good minions (even not damaged) on board which means you are ahead from your opponent. Why for the god sake you'll play taunt in that situation?! People play taunts when they are about to survive you know. An in most scenarios that means you have no or little board presence.
Man the stupidity of design in this one just got out of control. Hands down...
This is the 3rd card in the last 2 days with a 1/1 base statline, and 4th if you count the created minions from Herald Volazj. All of these minion either have to do with the Old Gods in general or N'Zoth in particular. Now 1/1 has not been a common statline in playable minions up till now (I can think of 5 off the top of my head) and all of a sudden we get this many more. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if N'Zoth had some sort of interaction with 1/1s that either buffed him, or buffed those minions, that changed how we viewed these cards.
Good observation.
In fact, the developers has once said they want to make card like Magma Rager with 1 health work. So I guess legendary buffing 1 health minion will be included in this expansion.

If u look beyond dropping it at turn 4, the possibility is insane. If BGH is nerfed then 2 PO plus this in warlock is indeed OP.
Heckler is a good taunt for 4 mana, IMO better than a situation support with the same cost. Maybe better stats or different cost, 1/1 taunt won't save your ass when the your board is empty.
This is not a bad card - people just need to stop thinking of it as a taunt replacement or something that you would play on curve. It is meant to be a value card in control decks with biggish minions to be copied. Sure it is vulnerable to silence, but it is pretty cheap as silence bait goes - would you rather have your Tirion silenced or this 4 mana silenced?
I didnt want to criticize this, but after seeing a bunch of cards from the new expansion, I cant help but feel that the card design is really lazy and unoriginal. Too many of them are just revamps of existing cards and mechanics and there is hardly anything new. Blizzard doesnt want to issue reprints, yet they keep releasing cards and mechanics awfully reminiscent to stuff that we have already seen before. I am dissapointed.

It will see play in the N'Zoth 1/1 deck.

Hmm, i don't know...

That Skygolem Nerf thought!
Senjin is already a guaranteed 3/5 at 4 mana. This is too draw dependant.
Cool card.

This is a worse Faceless Manipulator. You cant copy an enemy, and doesnt even copy deathrattles or effects. where is this going?
