That is an enticing lizard payoff. If this curves out right, it's a significant value (and maybe even tempo) swing in your direction.
Slow and has no board presence. You better have really good payoffs, or else this is pretty much just an expensive Sign In Blood.
Solid attacker in limited and decent value. By the time this dies, you've surely played a two-drop by then, so it replaces itself.
Seems easy enough in this set to control any token at all.
Double spelling with this and an adequately good valiant mouse might be worth the virtual card loss of this aura. That would be very all-in aggro, though.
Onboard trick alert!
It's really nice that this is the second Thermo-Alchemist effect we've seen in the set. And the other one has offspring!
When the Wilds are Evolving
I wonder how many more cards will have the torment effect. If there are enough in limited, you might want to hold onto duds to discard.
It's nice to see how simple the bat and lizard themes are and how elegantly they overlap.
The baseline is slightly below average but it scales up greatly. I imagine it would be easy enough to have food by turn 4, then you play this as part of a double spell turn or go for offspring. It would be an okay play even if the token didn't get any bonus.
