Just thought I would share this idea that has turned so many games around for me lately. Almost everyone and their brother is running Emperor Thaurissan in their decks currently. I have been adding in a good old Faceless Manipulator. Any class that generally keeps a fairly full hand like Mage, Handlock, and Priest, I have been using Faceless Manipulator.
This has given me access to essentially double Emperor, even 2 on the board at a time. But at worst you copy another value minion, at best you can get a copy of your opponents out sooner if you haven't drawn into yours, or numerous other variations. Hands down won me several games. If you can find the room in your deck, give it a try. This isn't so much an OMG so OP post, rather a this might work well for you too and is worth a try.

I always considered faceless to be underated. The problem was the face hunter meta which stopped everyone from using it(since anything you want to target it on is most likely dead or silenced). Hopefully now it will see play again.
If you look closely, you can see this is a signature and not a comment. Why are you reading? Stop reading this. Did you read this too? Dang you must like reading.
Glad to see some others have thought so too. I have always liked using him and do agree he is under-used and somewhat undervalued. Though as someone said above an aggro heavy meta brings his value down significantly. But even aggro decks are now running Emperor Thaurissan and makes it a prime target, besides the fact that in any matchup except a FaceAggro there are many other prime targets.
He has become an easy 1'of choice in my decks recently. The recent meta has made him a card of definite value and I believe he is worth the slot.

Huh, I keep forgetting this card exists.
GJ entirely.
I'd been running him in Priest and some other control decks already pre-Emperor. Definitely an under-used card.

Works great in double combo druid
This is an extremely powerful card if you've got at least two cards in hand worth playing next turn.
