It's pretty good. Lackeys have never really been a thing in priest, but priest can actually use the actual lackeys the best of any of the classes probably. Outside of.... Faceless. Which is their lackey, weirdly.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this card is actually.....bad.
I can't for the life of me imagine ever putting this in my deck as one of my 30 cards. However, I think it's only bad for priests. I mean, shaman would kill for this card amirite?
I think my main problem with this is a card like this requires a bit of extra synergy to merit a spot. Cards like Lyra the Sunshard skyrocket the power of cards like this to incredible heights. Right now in standard though, I feel Priest lacks that synergy. Until Priests get more support, I don't think this type of card sees much if any play.

I don't think you need extra synergy.
EVIL Cable Rat saw plenty of play, and all you got for your 2 mana (compared to this) was a lousy 1/1.

EVIL Cable Rat doesn’t see play in Priest and neither does EVIL Recruiter, which is a 2/2. That said, this is good in Nomi Priest.
Pops up off other generation effects. I know Lyra's a long way gone now, but it's a similar idea. And yeah, Rogue or Shaman would kill for this, big-time.

Disgusting how there are clearly open slots in priest to add a good 2 mana dragon explorer and the idiots designing the game put in this garbage instead. It baffles my mind that priest was the original starter of good dragon decks and they got the worst dragons this expansion. Even HUNTER and DRUID got an explorer but not a class known for having good dragon synergy??? This class has nothing to do with lackeys, what kind of a damn pack filler garbage card is this honestly. Sorry for the rant but this makes no sense and my plans for wild dragon priest have been ruined... Talk about class identity when there is a clear bias against priest. The 4/5 dragon didn't even get taunt...
It would have had to have been significantly more expensive if it had taunt. As it is, it's a very strong card that gives priest something it really hasn't had: good area effect removal for JUST the enemy's minions.
Honestly all the priest dragons in this expansion are great, and yeah, as others pointed out only the explorer classes got explorer cards. The EVIL classes got Galakrond. Which makes literally any control priest (dragon or otherwise) much better.

What priest deck runs EVIL Cable Rat?
This would be soooooooo broken as a Rogue card lul.

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure only the League of Explorer heroes got explorer dragons. The EVIL heroes got, well, stuff like this.
0 mana priest spell chains are good, and this adds to potential combos.
I love the new Combo Priest potential.
