Mhm - it's an interesting mechanic. I can't say further, as I don't have any knowledge of the card sets.
If someone asks me this mechanic is better in aggro decks (since those cards are cheap and you don't have that many impressive plays the more the game progresses). If this is also somehow implemented to small AoEs (SHAMAN PLS), then this will work too - combining smaller ones into a one huge clear. But nevertheless imho echo doesn't work optimally on 4+ mana cards, so for now I don't see how this would be impressive in a control/slow deck.
And regarding this card - Saronite Chain Gang is more reliable and powerful than this.
If cards with Echo keep handbuffs it could be very good. Otherwise it's probly just okay (except in arena, where it's good). But I could see someone finding a broken thing to do with it
Good in quest warrior, quest rogue and maybe evolve shaman. It really depends on how it works with handbuffs. Keleseth could be the thing that makes this card work. Also valanyr.
This certainly feels like the boring reveal to explain the Echo mechanic, but I could imagine this being viable, perhaps in Quest Warrior where Baku the Mooneater is used to improve early game defense and to synergize with removal tools like Shield Slam and Reckless Flurry. Those removals will be more important after cards like Sleep with the Fishes rotates out, and in that kind of Control Warrior you won't want to run Scourgelord Garrosh or many other of the 8 drop legendaries from Warrior.
This card feels bad when compared to some of the broken nonsense that some classes can pull, but it could bring back quest rogue and with enough support, echo warlock could end up being interesting.

HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON?
Good for Quest Warrior (which is terrible for the game because f*ck that deck). Could be really interesting if a class has an Aviana-like effect.
I tried having fun once. It was awful.
Hot Spring Guardian didn't even cut it in elemental decks. I'm very skeptical of this card. Weak to AOE just like Warrior and hunter spellstones.
Trading Meat wagon into a minion--> summoning portal, then 6 of this for 6 mana, Spreading Plague for Warlock! :D

Echo will be a blast in Arena: pure unconditioned value. On constructed this card is not particulary interesting, but let see the other ones.
For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
Never underestimate the power of a card with options.
also... The Caverns Below
Echo minions + Val'anyr or Prince Keleseth .. value
I like the fact that is an odd manacost card, this might see play in some sort of control warrior with that legendary that upgrades your heropower.

Mike Donais (Prinicipal Game Designer) explained in a Reddit post that Echo does not work with handbuff/mana alteration etc.

Just wait until Druid plays 4 of these on 10 mana with double Innervate.

The powercurve can't be bad right?
Squirming Tentacle
It might see play in taunt warrior. I guess

Poor Silverback Patriarch, it's power creeped in every single expansion.
You should have Silverback Power creep in card reveal bingo.

I actually had a Summoning Portal zoolock I was toying with in casual earlier, and this card slides right in. Thank you Blizzard! <3
