*usually
turn 2 Witchy Lackey on an empty board probably not that great.
Well, yeah. You can still play it though. Sometimes it's better than passing even if it's not great tempo.
We will receive this one before expansion hits
what makes you say that?
Is that a guess or you got a link to back it up? I would've guessed EVIL Cable Rat if they were going to give us the Lackeys to play with early.
Isn't it a Legendary?

Dev said it in the AMA
The devs said we would get given A card. Not specifically this one. Is this your guess? Because it's not very likely.
seems good. turn 1 you use this turn 2 you can just use the lackey by itself covers 2 turns of play some of which arnt that amazing but since you only invested 1 card into 2 turns of play that in itself is pretty good kind of reminds me of Fire Fly in that sense a bit more expensive but a bit more powerful at the same time.
Really strong card to have on the first turn but only if you get one of the right Lackeys. Goblin and Ethereal Lackey are not quite as good turn 2 follow-ups, and Witchy Lackey is only decent if the Murloc survives.
But I'm sure in this deck Shaman usually has other back-up 1-drops
Just wondering where does he get the lackey from? ;)
This and Warlock's Lackey generating cards are more interesting than previously shown lackey-themed cards.
A Lackey generator that doesn't start with EVIL? Am I dreaming?
But he looks EVIL
Good synergy also with Likkim and insane value in wild with Tunnel Trogg
So, same statline as Murloc Raider which basically means we're overloading for 1 just for the battlecry. Seems like a steep cost but at least we get to play the Lackey on turn 2
A little late for the quest party but very good anyway.
I am not sure I like all this Lackey RNG...
Good in Murloc Shaman. Not sure about other types of Shaman until we see more cards.
very good if you get the lackey that summons the 2 drop. Decent if any other lackey
