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.
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.
The problem is you have to have a lot of mana for this card to be any good. It's just not as crazy as people make it out to be.
Exactly... this only good as a late/mid game card. In fact it is horrible in a tempo mid-range deck. And thats important b/c thats where Rogue lives. At best, in the early/mid game its a conditional 1-2 lackey generating 2/3 soft taunt? So this is a late game card, i.e. it doesn't fit in aggro decks and it is a bit tricky in any tempo or midrange deck. Yes the late game possibilities for reload are amazing but what late game card in those classes are you gonna sub out to put this in? Thats my issue. Its not anywhere near auto include for Lackey classes... its playable to bad.
Yup don't think we're gonna see hero cards for each explorer. Was a great idea... but just a fan idea. Though, I am looking forward to putting Reno Hero in my Hydra(Highlander Dragon) Mage :) I just hope we don't get fair to meh cards but rather get at least 1 more awesome legendary and/or a couple of cards that create a whole new deck archetype... but I am aware the holidays are over

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.
