Freeze mages that can nuke people for 8 damage, totally free, the turn a Doomsayer goes off. If you still think this card is bad, read that sentence a few more times. Free, means that you can do this the same turn you Alexstrasza. Or Antonidas. Or in conjunction with fireballs for 20+ damage a turn.
Or on turns you need to iceblock/barrier/heal to stay alive. Freeze mages often end up in situations where they don't have the mana to both stay alive, and set up lethal. This lets you do that.
People talking about token decks, Onyxia, trading in minions, etc. are all bad and missing the point. This card is amazing.

If I play 4 rogue cards on a turn, it's cause I'm killing my opponent. What the hell do I need a 5/3 minion that can't even attack till next turn for?

Copying some extra patrons/axe flingers isn't super great unless you can also copy whirlwinds effects.

You're (almost) all bad.
