So far the only deck I’ve been able to use him in effectively has been a tinkered headless handbuff build and even then the gigantic form goes to waste half the time. I wanna hear if anyone else besides DK found a strat with this thing.
Don’t think so… it is a useless Legendary… bad card design…

Eh, the mini made amateur puppeteer slightly more annoying. That’s… like the one use I’ve got so far. I was hoping someone would remind me something like trapdoor spider exists or something that could validate the other two’s existence. Heck I’d even take a weird priest attack lowering deck if they found something that was worth summoning a lot of at once
A common combo with the card seems to be playing its 5-mana version, followed by Shoplifter Goldbeard. This fills the board with copies, and based on the first Goldbeard summoned, they’ll attack and then die.

I found only 1 deck with the card in hsguru with good win rate (and that way outside the high ranks)
Ah it appears Hodir might be crazy good for it (next 3 minions have 8/8); I can’t paste it from in-game because I don’t have Hodir; from hsguru:

I have it in my hand buff paladin. Its useful in two ways here, one it acts as card draw because it adds 2 buffable minions to your hand and you can kinda manipulate buffs in a way to make his effect go off more consistently. Also just kind of a fun card to play around with then it goes off.
One combo i really like is to play the 1 cost replicator then play a buffed toy captain tarim into it! The 1 cost replicator turns into the same stats as the toy captain and the replicator then makes another buffed toy captain tarim!

I used it in a secret hunter deck with Mantle Shaper and Storm Giant.
The mini version is pretty decent in wild with Odyn in warrior. All You Can Eat will draw the Replicator-inator as well as Risky Skipper and Razorfen Rockstar. Play the 1 cost Replicator-inator, play Armorsmith, Risky Skipper, then Razorfen. You now have 140 armor
