It is also looks okayish against fast decks. Sure, 2 mana do nothing against odd rogue is meh, but aren't you usually happy to turn that Leeroy into a random demon? (as long as they don't get a Doomguard)
Either meta-defining or useless depending on the meta. Im not sure why is it class-specific though.
all I can think is there might be something else similar that is a vanilla card maybe? or possibly this is just to help with control lock maybe in that it gets a way to deal with combo decks. control lock has slipped recently due to all the big combo decks out there. this gives the archtype a new chance at winning against them, although this goes against the rock, scissors paper format.
I mean unless it's intended for aggro decks, but aggro are already favourable against combo decks so it makes more sense that this would be a tech card for control to me.
I doubt it will see much play and totally don't understand amounts of hype given to it. Unlike Dirty Rat this one is awful against agro decks and this is a huge difference
This one reminds me of Rebuke. Insanely overrated when in fact it's just a fringe tech card for a combo-infested meta. And it's always a gamble. Did he draw his Malygos yet? Or maybe he will draw it next turn and kill you right away. Or he has 5 minions in his hand and the wrong one gets transformed. Or you give him a Doomguard for exact lethal.
The only thing that's for certain is that it will be really frustrating to be on the receiving end of its rng.
Not totally sure how to feel about this. Zoo won't run this, they already have good win rates against combo decks and it doesn't really do anything for them. Evenlock might run a copy, it has a positive WR against Shudderwock and barely positive winrate against Maly. I'm not even sure how worth it it would be in Even. You have a big hand generally and you might turn something good into a shit.
It could be pretty good in control lock or maybe demonlock because they can cheese it out with skull.

Is it? Do you mind turning their minions into expensive demons disrupting their curve? I am not saying it is what you choose to play going against aggro but it is not a useless card in those matches.

Like others said, it doesn't provide any tempo + it's a bad top-deck in those MUs. Also also, you might transform a 1-drop, so Leeroy is still going to get ya.
[edit] Disrupting aggro decks' curve? Haha, no. They run so many cheap stuff, that it will be a miracle if you actually slow them down.

Love it... Some tech against combo decks.
Only for warlock though... wondering if we will see a vanilla tech card that is in the vein of dirty rat as well?

I hate this card

A combo breaker card was needed, but a NEUTRAL one. If that is Blizzard answer for what is now missing in Standard, they missed the point.
For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?

loving this already
wouldn't you like to know?
MY CLAWS THAT ATTACK FOR 3, MY JAWS THAT SUMMON 2 MANA 6/6 INFERNOS
Only for Warlock... that hurts blizz
Personally triggered by it not saying *random* demon. I misread the card and thought it just added a demon tribal tag.
Not sure this is worth 2 mana, I think it should have been accompanied by atleast 1/2 body minion. Feels way anti-tempo.

Big fan of potential combo hate cards
The new Dirty Rat
Arena experiences:
A worse Gnomeferatu, won't see too much play imo. But I would love to see a similar neutral card. #makedirtyratclassic
Bye bye Shudderwock and Hadronox, finally.
No brain - no pain.
