2 mana 1/1 is pretty bad, but the lackey seems pretty useful, so there's that.
This as a 3 mana play on an empty board
a) 2 1\1s + random 2 drop. This is a good 3 drop (see microtech controller) b) 2 1\1s + 2 damage (this is slightly better than that 2/1 deal 2 damage mech) c) 1\1 + 2\1 rush ( slightly worse than aforementioned mech d) 2 1\1s + discover a spell (OK value 3 mana play) e) 1\1 + random 3-drop That is a an OK arena 3 mana play. Maybe some token decks will even play in standard
AND, unless you are desperate for immediate tempo, if you get the rush option (c), you'll probably save the lackey for a more impactful play later on. So even the "worst" case is pretty good.

WHAT THE F^@& IS A CABLE RAT!
It's a device used by electricians and IT people to thread cables through tight spaces.
I guess I can kinda see how the fuzzy little guy in the art would be rigged to do that?

It will be awkward if this saw more play with defenders of dalaran than league of evil.
I feel like this card belongs 2nd expansion of the Year of the Dragon.
Lackeys should have been restricted for E.V.I.L for this expansion imo.

Memedeck-seeker. Always tries to build new decks. Hates tournements, streamers, netdecks and poor-o players. ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!
1/5 chance to get the rush buff and make your Immortal Prelate completely broken with the new lifesteal card. Obviously thats not good enough, but it is interesting
I had a shortage of low-cost minions in my Priest deck. This has been useful for that reason, and because of the value of lackeys. For example, I find the Ethereal Lackey, the one that discovers a spell, especially useful. The only Priest card I know of that's roughly equivalent to this lackey is the Shadow Visions spell, which is an epic card. The difference is that Shadow Visions restricts you to spells in your own deck, while this lackey can discover other spells within the same class. And of course, Shadow Visions is a spell, and this lackey is a 1/1 minion, which counts for something.
It’s a good beast from DK Rexxar in Wild

pretty arena, but swarm decks will like it regardless its base stats
Might see play if togwaggle needs it. Otherwise, I’d be surprised if it is used.

Really depends on if the deck requires lackeys, but this won't see a lot of constructed play otherwise.
I think it probably won't see play, it's too weak, unless rogue doesn't get another lackey generator and really wants to activate togglewaggle at 6.
pack filler. The lackeys are definitely not 1 1/2 mana better than a 1 drop.

You obviously don't play a lot of Rogue.

lets give immortal prelate rush

Turns out Rogue got only one lackey generator so.. if you want to play togglewaggle consistently you need to play this card
I feel like this should have been a 1 mana card as the lackeys aint that good.
This is kind of dumb, but I just realized last night that this is a Beast and thus has synergy with Dire Frenzy, which makes it slightly better.

This card got underrated a bit we underestimated just how powerful Lackey's can be.

Further proof this site is simply poor at card evaluation.
