Compared to Mirror Entity this card leaves you with a 1/1 behind on tempo. It also doesn't benefit from the large amount of removal mage has at it's disposal (in the sense that you can remove the minion played onto Mirror Entity and further benefit from your copy of it).
On the other hand it is largely better against combo pieces, like Thaurissan, Malygos, Chargers and other non-Battlecry minions that impact the board the momment they are played.
If the meta is extremelly combo-oriented this could see play over Mirror Entity, otherwise I don't think it's useful.
Too many people think this is good. It's playable in decks that haven't enough cards yet, but beside of this, this is actually one of the worst secrets. Against aggro this mean's nothing, and against Hunter this might be actually negative value since it gives him Beast-Synergy. So in the end this will be countered like mirror entity; only that with Mirror you actually gain a minion; and that's always better.
screws with late-game decks, which is something to have in account. and this will see play in wild to prevent people from playing valuable deathrattles..also.. PRAISE YOGG!
I must be missing something, as this is one of the first cards I bothered to rate that I actually rated "bad".
Isn't this just an expensive Snipe? All it does is transform your opponent's worst minion into a 1/1 sheep. It's so easy to check for. I suspect that most of the time, this turns a 2/1 into a 1/1. Of course a lot better in a pure control meta, but that won't happen.

Against "late game decks" you actually want Polymorph, and both of them are better than this. With this secret you can't control what you poly, it does give negative value and so on. And against Deathrattles: if the mage has a secret, nobody plays a valueable deathrattle already: you don't even need to change your playstyle compared to mirror image, since they are both the same: only that you need to deal with mirror image with the minion afterwards, and that can be very awkward. In Wild you don't even need to deal with the enemy minion, you still have a 1/1.

As good as Mirror Entity, which people already check for, now their small drop will kill 2 birds with one stone...
Love The Art!
feels pretty weak, thank goodness its a rare card
Awkward af to get off of Kabal Chemist, assuming this is the only potion secret.
Better than mirror entity if you consider things like Leeroy or Ragnaros.
Kabal Lackey says "Screw you Malfurion and your Innervate shenanigans!"
This is only really weak vs. aggro. Versus control? Well watch their Ragnaros, Ysera, Grom etc. be transformed into a cuddly, little sheep.
Does this work before or after battlecry?
Mmm
Can't see this making the cut in Standard.....Will be decent in Arena and Wild tho.

In a control deck this is probably a fair bit better than Mirror Entity. Comparable to Snipe which the current Secret Hunters usually use.
How does the order work with Mirror Entity? Do you always get a Sheep, a real minion or is it based on play order?
Op
can be strong when discover it
