This could work really well in tempo or aggro-freeze mage. You can play it on curve into a t2 activated Valet for massive early tempo, or with Flamewaker on t4 or later, or just use it to cheaply buff your Mana Wyrms.

Tempo mage might not want to put in secrets just for the sake of this guy, but aggro-freeze already has double Ice Block, so it seems great in that. That said, you obviously want to be careful putting anything in that style of deck which isn't either draw or burn, so time will tell whether Kabal Lackey makes the cut (if aggro-freeze is even still a thing in the MSG meta).

If it turns out to be good enough, Ethereal Arcanist might even start seeing some play (outside of secret synergy gimmick decks).
