So this is essentially a 2-mana cheaper Faceless Manipulator, that is always a 3/3? It's stronger when copying low-mana minions, but weaker when copying high-mana minions (unless you're just after the effect, then it's simply an improved Faceless)
It could be fun as a combo card in some weird wild deck, but as a card in constructed? Really bad. Prince Keleseth has uses in Handbuff Paladin, but this has nothing.
Thinking about popular decks right now, they all have very good or nearly essential 3 mana cards. It's a cheaper Faceless Manipulator, but for two more mana I would rather just run that and other good cards. Like I said, fun as a combo card (PO/Leeroy/Faceless combo with this? Emperor Thaurissan tick on every piece including this, it becomes an OTK instead of 20 damage oh right 3/3 copy nevermind it's even worse), but bad otherwise.
Do you have to copy something in play, in your deck or...how the shit does this card work. If it's in play it doesn't specify friendly, I'd like to point out. But no three cost cards is rough :(
If your deck has no 3-cost Cards (that part is clear)
transform into a 3/3 copy of a minion (that part is not so clear)
He is already a 3/3. And in which minion is he transformed?
Okay. I get it. But the text is still crap. Is the copied minion on the battlefield? Or in a deck? Chosen or Random? They really Need to employ someone who goes over their wording...
Seems like this could work in multiple variations of rogue deck, there is definitely some insane combo OTK deck to be had with priest too. Patches value lol?
On board , like faceless. So you have to forgo all your 3 drop just to have a 2 mana cheaper faceless?? wHICH deck can get away with that. Only druid maybe.
If think the requirement to be pretty excessive. No 2-mana cost is ok since you have the hero power, no 3-mana cost is kind of tough. Maybe there's a class where it could fit but I don't see any yet.
This just seems bad. REALLY hope Blizzard is burying the lead on this set. Even if so, whoever coordinated the spoiler rollout for KOFT needs to be given a sit down conversation.

This would be fun to combo cards with! The 3-mana slot though, hmm...
Some clarifications after asking a few questions:
It's exactly like Faceless Manipulator, you select a minion on the battlefield to become.
Congrats on getting to reveal. :)
The card might see some play? It's hard to say yet. Could be some neat combos out there to discover.
bad on turn 3, nice otk potenzial later in the game.

Can someone suggest some strong plays with this? I'm blanking. Maybe a 3/3 nerubian egg. But I'm more about standard.

im getting afraid that this expansion will be so bad, we have to wait we havent saw more than 15% of the cards yet
We'll now need to see the whole set before arguing on the playablility of this card... Slot 3 is hard to avoid ...

The effect can be good for sure, but not good enough to limit yourself to a deck with no 3-drops... surely?
