This card has similarities to faceless manipulator but it won't be used for OTK. If you read the text this becomes a 3-3 copy of the minion so it will not retain any stat modifiers. IMO the effect will not end up being worth the cost of not including 3 drops
Maybe I'm too exhausted, but I don't see how this card has value whatsoever and certainly not with that restriction. O_o Even as legendary with the same effect without the restriction, I can't see any use other than Murloc shenanigans or death rattle interactions and it would probably not see any play. Hell, this could be a rare or epic and would probably not see play. Wtf am I missing here?
This will see no play until someone will build a OTK combo deck around it, then it will infest ladder for a couple months till the nerfhammer will strike it into oblivion
What exactly would you want to combo with this? Some sort of powerful deathrattle? Some spell damage effect? You can't just copy a big body, as it's a 3/3 unless you silence it.
I don't think this is going to work.
Also, is it just me, or is the power level of this set well below that of Un'Goro? It just seems that way given the cards revealed thus far.

FreezeMage never dies, it just sleeps from time to time. Also, in game, I'm just DrPyro, just sayin'.
Is this like Reno? Can I have the effect after I draw my 3 cost cards? If it is so then it can be great in mage since the only 3 drops mage wants in the deck are ice block and barrier. And you can fetch them with arcanologists.
Then copy Antonidas or Malygos to finish the game.
I don't like this "if your deck doesn't contain" mechanic. It really limits your deck it's not worth the effect. With Prince Keleseth you could at least add Hemet in your deck so it has some good synergy but this is hardcore combo card for some insane value like Malygos or smth that will hardly see play
There's clearly going to be some broken combos that can be pulled with this. I'm not totally sure what. And I don't know if they will rise above meme level (in fact, I think I hope it doesn't) but certainly there's going to be SOMETHING worth doing with this over the next year and a half of standard. So I voted playable.
Also I think no 3 cards is probably less harsh of a thing then no 2 cards. Classic 3 drops are very weak, although some other stuff fills them out in some classes it's not chalked full of "must haves" like the 2 drop slot. So it'll be a lot easier to fit into decks.
By the time you have Malygos or Prophet Velen on board, you would already have enough mana to play a faceless manipulator on it next turn (if it even survives that is). Having a hard time seeing why the extra 2 mana on the second turn of the combo would be better in any situation. Double Mind blast costs 4, double Eviscerate + sinister strike costs 5. You don't need more than 5 mana
This makes me want to cry I grinded so much gold for this. Unless you can transform into something from your deck, hand or field and it's not random this card is bad..... I rather just play faceless it's an epic and you can use 2 without having to sacrifice 3 cost deck slots. People are saying it's cheaper but they don't seem to see the overwhelming cons.

G=Good B=Bad Do you see the pattern? Every second expansion is always trash.
And the effect is surely not worth the drawback....
maybe a
3/3 Sergeant Sally(no 3 mana card °°') or a 3/3 Angry Chicken or a 3/3 Patches the Piratelol :)

Paladin as weak 3 drops so it can work but the thing its on what deck type we have to see more cards 1st i guess
Interesting card but can we just get some more Death Knight reveals please Blizzard?

seems just about as good as this, and you don't need to leave the 3 slot open.

Seems gimmicky, relies too much on established board.
Will be fun to try, but I dont think it will work.

Fun potential: High
Ladder potential: Low

Just a Mirage Caller for everyone with very rare better senarios.

So he becomes a minion from on the board or a random one from the deck?
Seems like a fun barnes + malygos combo or something.
