    I think this card is just too slow. Even the best condition at 10 mana only summons 3x 3/2 body which is way too late already. Zoo warlock won't include this I think.
    I could be wrong, since not all cards has been revealed. 2/10 for now.

    Eeeeh.. It's alright, but I don't enitrely think that Warlock will actually car about Imp Swarm, simply becuase we see it as Too weak, at least for now.. THough at Rank 2, and surely at Rank 3 may say my thought about it otherwise, I just don't entirely believe in it. But... Who knows. It might be good.

    2 Stars for me, though.

    If it summoned 3/3s it might see play but that's overstated then.
    I think even if this got a boost at 5 and 10mana to summon an extra imp it still wouldn't fly, but it's always interesting to see a minion summoning spell as it alloys more freedom for cards that can pull it effect minion cards.

    Nope, just no. Terrible card.... 1 star.

    Theoretically this could serve as Zoolock's midgame, but the issue is in the current meta if Zoolock still hasn't killed their opponent by midgame then Zoolock might as well have lost.

    1/5, I see literally no reason why you'd want to run this.

    This looks like a solid card for zoolock, the early version is passable if you've nothing better on T2, and it gets much better by T5. The last version may not be so relevant generally, but if needed, it should help close out games that have gone on too long. 4/5, should see play in any Standard zoolock, and is even better if explicit support for a board-flood style is printed.

      *unless the meta is dominated by faster aggro decks

    Eeh. We had a Quest that had a a Rank 2 Imp Sawrm every sime it was Warlock's turn, and look at that deck now. Your most likely never going to see a Rank 3, unless you somehow survived quite the play in hearthstone, so, It's more a a 2 man 6/4 by turn 5. Which is absolutely scary, the more I think of it. Okay, Zoolocks will use this, nice. 4 stars.
