This is undoubtedly good, but not OP or meta defining imo...
The only thing make me don't yelling for nerf right now is the legendary rarity, if was epic and a deck can run x2 then almost every game this card will be played in curve, legendary you maybe don't draw this card or can draw too late when all lackeys already played and dead.
But the power level of this card is insane, all lackeys are very good 1/1 minions for 1, 4/4 for 1 is absurd.
This will give people cancer seriously you start to the game as a zoo warlock and evolve into midrange warlock it will be a fkn perfect deck that has no counter.
No counter? Dude, have you met our lord and savior control warrior yet?
Rogue also counters Zoo pretty well, since it's just impossible to win early tempo against Rogue.
And Mage can win any matchup with the nuts draw anyway...

Yes, but Warlock gets 6 Lackeys per game maximum so far. And that's with Cable Rat which is a terribly statted card (bad for Zoo).
1 Mana 4/4s are insane of course, but it comes at a hefty price...
People seem to still have Quest Rogue PTSD, but Rogue hat infinite 4/4s (5/5s back in the day). Sometimes 3 of them at once (Giggling Inventor).
Hmm its a slow turn 5 play, and normaly you cant affor to hoard lackeys on your hand. If there is a good new generator this might be playble but its overrated af imo new lady in white/camelios,Lunas.
Wow, this is Juicy. If Zoo is an actual deck, then this will give it reach. Rafaam was alittle too slow and getting random legendaries wasnt that good it seems.
But getting powerful battlecry effects with a 4/4 body. Yeah, this is good.
Not seeing the hype on this one, reminds me of everyone going nuts over Lady in White which turned out to be bad, for exactly the same reasons. Even worse, we only have 2 lackey generators for warlock still (genius and cable rat), and I doubt a third is going to make the whole thing work. Worse still, the broken 3/3 that summons a 5/5 demon DESTROYS your lackey, so after this is played the card loses all of its strength.
This is on the same level as Luna's Pocket Galaxy or Skull of the Man'ari. You'll win almost every game you manage to play this, usually within the next couple turns.
Seriously Blizzard, why? Didn't you learn from the absolute dumpster fire that was the rogue quest that giving permanent buffs that make small creatures into significant threats is inherently hard to balance? Never mind that this is a single card attached to a body that isn't horrifically under-statted (a 4/4 neutral is worth around 3.5 mana) and warlock has access to EVIL Genius, which puts it right behind rogue in terms of its ability to generate lackeys (and thank god that this isn't a rogue card because Shadowstep + EVIL Miscreant would be terrifying after this card's effect is activated).

I think rogue quest was hard to balance because it was so easy to print really good quest rogue cards on accident. Any cheap minion with more than 1 keyword was automatically a good quest rogue card, for example. Wax Elemental was probably meant as pack filler but it ended up being quest rogue support for that very reason. It's way easier to balance lackies (which we won't get many more of) around this, than to balance every single card they print for two years around the rogue quest.
Am i the only one who thinks this card is not that good?
Quest rogue? WTF The Caverns below made ALL THE MINION 4/4! I mean,ALL THE MINION. Every single stupid 1/1,generated token or summoned shit...even the hexed or polymorphed one was 4/4!
What this card does? You need to generate Lackeys,and there are not so many ways for warlock right now. Than you need to Keep the lackeys in your hand or play them and kkeep them alive. Both options are pretty difficult to achieve.
Than you need to play an understatted minion on turn 5 five just to make the 5-6 lackeys you can play in a game 4/4?
No,i dont think this card is good. This card has nothing to do with quest rogue.

Only 6 over the course of a game is WAY worse.
This riminds me of a roque Quest make over for warlock lol
At least EVIL Recruiter is removing 4/4 of stats now?

I just hope it doesn't become the new SCARGIL
Nerf incoming

Ok I can totally see Zoo being really good after this expansion.

Chrystal core for warlock:
Play expired merchant, making sure you discard a soul Warden (dont put any cards over 5 mana in your deck)
Play reckless dire troll twice, making sure you discard a lacky (play all non-lackey one-drops first)
Play tekahn
Playing a soulwarden now guarantees you a new soul Warden and 2x 4/4 lackies
Wow, now that's a card.
Slows down early game lackey use if they want to get full value out of it but christ, that's insane.

I joke a lot, if you take anything I say seriously, well, shame on you :p

If Rng gods are on thief rogue's side they can and will abuse this card

Seems just... good.
As stated above. With only EVIL Genius and EVIL Cable Rat, this card is just ok. Needs more lackey generators.

OK but there is a problem that only six lackeys is the maximum in that class

It's good in a vacuum but I see this being another scargil
