This card makes me laugh. The name + effect are a good combo. Sadly, for constructed this card probably is not that good: Unlike Crackle, another high variance card, the low roll on this is usually not that great, and the 1/1s are too easily taken out unless you get a lot, plus Warlock simply got a lot of other good cards like Crush and Fel Cannon. In Constructed, it just doesn't make the cut.
In Arena, I think this card will be significantly better though: It is much easier to snipe weakened minions with this effect's low damage in Arena, where trading and random 3/2s and such are more prominent, and the Imps are much more useful in Arena because they aren't great to be AoE'd (You just traded 1-for-1 with Imp-Plosion!) and there's less ways to just deal with it hilariously easily. I think this will be a solid if unspectacular pick.
This + Malygos = Board full of imps and one dragon. Shame its a two turn combo and not very good! But any spell power certainly helps with the variance of this card and boosts the number of imps summoned if the wording is to be trusted.
I really like the card, flavor wise, but I do not know if you would want to play it over shadowflame or hellfire in a demonlock deck. on average it does 3 damage and summons a full board of imps (if you use it on 3 enemies) This may be good enough in a more control style demon lock. You know what after reading what I just wrote, this card is a better consecration and I would run it, this card is very good against aggro.
I'm THINKING that 'overkill' damage counts. If you 'overkill' a hero on eye for an eye, the full damage hits your face anyway. Thus if you hit a 2 health creature and it goes 4 damage, it creates 4 imps.
So basically a 2/2 that does 2 damage at minimum for 4 mana.
Which...isn't that great put that way .
Best case is 4 damage and get a 4/4. Which is..very good.

Average would be 4 mana, 3/3 do 3 damage.
I can see zoo trying this out.
Well you can compare it to consecrate and it is a whole lot better. This card is gonna be good in a lot of Warlock decks. Also I do not know if you grouped all the imps together but you get multiple 1/1's, for example if you did 2 damage to 2 targets you get 4 1/1's....nvm i have been reading it wrong. I thought this was AOE for some reason lol. This card is not all that great then.

What about the card text gives the impression that you can target more than one minion? It's not an AoE unfortunately.
Talk about this card
Signature
Question: If you were to cast this on a two health minion and got the high roll for four damage would you get four Imps or just two?
This looks really cool for a Demon-based control deck. 2-4 damage for 4 mana isn't great but the Imps may help balance that out.
I WILL talk about it! It's great! Great to combine with Anima Golem.
Woo - finally some demon synergy is comin' our way. And that new Demon is sexy as hell.

Crush is a Warrior card. And Fel-cannon is laughable.

Yeah it should.

Too random to be consistently worthwhile.

Fun fact: I just made a spellpower warlock deck on my alternative account... Hah.

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.

I read it too fast thought it said that it dealt damage to all minions....this card would be ridiculous if that were the case lol

This does scale really well off spell power effects.
My bad, I misread Crush like a dumbass. I think Fel Cannon is pretty good, tho.
It's definitely a threat at 3/5, but 4-mana makes it so very...warlock :\
I assume it's to keep your Anima Golem on the board
