Going straight into highlander rogue, 100%. This is going to be rage inducing, I can already tell you. Rogue already has a crazy amount of lackey generation, this will take it well past the point of insanity. Mark my words
It is very good for Chaman with the Quest and in Warlock by Dark Pharaoh Tekahn It is counterproductive in Rogue because if you are playing with Galakrond you will have a hand full of lackeys that may be the ones that add more cards to the hand
mage paladin hunter and druid can't play this legendary ard. Kronx is another leg that those classes can't play (among with all invoke cards). League of E. V. I. L. has a lot of support from blizzard I guess.
I'm just not seeing it. Yes there is an obvious fit with Dark Pharaoh Tekahn, but will that deck be any good? You have to Draw Tekahn or the deck is trash. But my biggest issue is with how slow it is. Its a value card for lackeys; which are tempo cards. Its a measly 4 mana 2/3 (weak) and to really get the value out of it you would need to play it on turn 7 or later. I'm sorry but by turn 7 I want do do more than play a 2/3 and 3 1/1s that give me small temp bumps or some random spells/dragons. I'm probably wrong but I don't think this card is that good. If it was a 3/5 maybe, but then its still slow- I just don't see it being worth the value.
Edit: So maybe this is gonna be good? It’s definitely going to be annoying... I hate lackeystone right now anyway and this is only going to put it into overdrive. Rogue is definitely gonna use this... ugh... more Rogue lackey RNG crap.
But here is my real issue now... it is pronounced Erkh (Eric) or Erkh (Erica), its starting to annoy me. I believe its the latter b/c maybe she’s wearing a dress? Regardless I am not going to enjoy what this card does to the meta. Chances this is gonna get a boring nerf.

What you have to realize is the reason for its insanity is you need only play one 1 mana card and this card generates 6+ cards. And you call the lackeys "measely," but they be great effects and generate great tempo gain.
This is not being overhyped imo, it's going to be very strong. It needs only a single lackey to get going and then you're just doing lots and lots of stuff while generating a ton of value.
This is almost like gadgetzan on 4 mana that generates far more tempo. The only downside is, as some have stated, is that 4 classes pretty much can't play this. The heroes better get some big love.
Edit: Also, imagine rogue going into turn 10 with this and spirit of the shark loaded. If you think that turn ain't gonna be crazy, you crazy.

This will see a lot of play imo. May tinker with a Warlock deck with this guy and Dark Pharaoh....
So does this mean that all four explorers aren’t getting hero cards?
I like this one. Seems like a fun card to play with lots of value but annoying for your opponent.
Will see play in rogue, shaman, and warlock decks.
Rexxar does have a hero card already, wouldn't mind the rest having their own though
That’s a good point! It also rotates out in 3 months though.
Lackeys are good, so more Lackeys is good too right?
Shaman and Warrior have 2, if they dont print a hero card for each explorer I will be dissapointed.
Fuck sake, stop with the lackey crap.
Seems like it should have a home or two. Rogue and Zoolock mostly.
Should have been a lackey. Obviously a strong card in any deck that plays a lot of lackeys.
Dependable loan sharks since 1960. We sink our teeth into every deal we make.

I don't think is particularly great for Rogue, but for quest shaman and zoolock it's great
