Template:Darkspeaker strategy
With a fairly solid body that will be swapped, Darkspeaker's Battlecry can be used to buff a weaker minion that has a strong ability independent of its stats, like Acolyte of Pain, Armorsmith, and Mana Tide Totem, or to take the stats of a powerful minion with a large drawback, like Eerie Statue, Anima Golem or any big minion that you've played a Power Overwhelming on.
Even if the Darkspearker swaps stats with a Totem, Imp, or other small minion, its 3/6 stats can be put to immediate use by the recipient minion (assuming it isn't exhausted), making it almost comparable to Charge.
