I have now tried several decks starting Idarran. He can be a good card, but I’ve yet to find him overpowered. Usually, if he survives, he quickly locks a row with relatively useless junk. When he can spawn something useful, he’s likely to become a clumsy, out-of-place unit consuming important space, while the units spawned are awkwardly placed.
I have not tried him in a blue stripes deck (I assume he works with scouts) because I don’t own Pavetta — that is the most likely broken combo I can think of.
I just tested the basic premise of an Idarran — Blue Stripes deck. Despite the wording that Blue stripes scouts spawn a copy, Idarran does not work with scouts — probably just as well for balance sake.
I also note it took 6 games to even try the combo either I could not draw Idarran, scouts, and a bronze card in the same round or Idarran got killed before I could try it — despite packing my deck with removal decoys. When I finally could try the combo, it was on a round 2 where my opponent dry-passed. While it is true that I own neither defender nor tutor to support the combo, I think this experience highlights the limitation of Idarran in general.
