Verdict: Shadow King currently profiles as a strong current-meta option and is best treated as a archetype card.
Best fit: On Reveal
How to use it: Use Shadow King in On Reveal shells where its text or stat line advances the deck's main plan instead of forcing a standalone include.
Common mistake: The common mistake is jamming Shadow King into decks that do not naturally support its role; the card gets much better when the surrounding deck already wants this effect.
Token advice: Consider tokens only if you already play the archetype and the card is still performing well in the current meta.
