Strategy
Although this minion`s drawback is severe, it`s possible to avert it entirely. Due to Unlicensed Apothecary`s obscene stats, playing additional minions will usually not be necessary to control the board. Slower decks like Handlock A warlock always has something up their sleeve... Handlock or Hand Lock is a type of warlock control deck that commonly has a high number of cards in the hand, thus earning the name Handlock. 
can take the most advantage out of this. Renolock can even play one or two minions while this is on the board and recover later using Reno Jackson Reno Jackson Set: The League of Explorers Type: Minion Rarity: Legendary Cost: 6 Attack: 4 Health: 6 Abilities: Battlecry, Restore Health Tags: Deck-related, Health-related Battlecry: If your deck has no duplicates, fully heal your hero.Reno

Notes
Unlicensed Apothecary is a Summon Resolution Step trigger. This leads to the following interactions:
- If you summon an Unlicensed Apothecary and other minions in the same Phase (such as by summoning many demons at once using Krul the Unshackled Krul the Unshackled Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Minion Subtype: Demon Class: Warlock Rarity: Legendary Cost: 9 Attack: 7 Health: 9 Abilities: Battlecry, Put into battlefield Tags: Deck-related, Demon-related Battlecry: If your deck has
), the Unlicensed Apothecary triggers for each other minion summoned. - If you play a Battlecry minion with a transform Transform is an ability which irreversibly transforms a minion into something else. This removes all card text, abilities and enchantments, and does not trigger any Deathrattles. Transformation is not an enchantment but rather a permanent effect, any Unlicensed Apothecaries will trigger both for the played minion if it`s the same controller (following the On Play Phase) and also the post-transform minion if it`s the same controller (following the After Summon Phase). This means, for instance, that a Faceless Manipulator Faceless Manipulator Set: Classic Type: Minion Rarity: Epic Cost: 5 Attack: 3 Health: 3 Abilities: Battlecry, Copy, Transform Battlecry: Choose a minion and become a copy of it.The Faceless Ones are servants of Yogg-Saron, and will trigger your Unlicensed Apothecaries twice. (This might be a bug, as a similar bug with Rumbling Elemental The subject of this article is due to undergo changes soon. For details, see below. Rumbling Elemental Set: The League of Explorers Type: Minion Subtype: Elemental Class: Shaman Rarity: Common Cost: 4 Attack: 2 Health: triggering twice for Faceless Manipulator targeting a Battlecry minion was hotfixed (and the hotfix later accidentally reverted).)
- Because heroes cannot recover from fatal damage once the current Phase ends, playing a minion with a healing Battlecry (eg Reno Jackson Reno Jackson Set: The League of Explorers Type: Minion Rarity: Legendary Cost: 6 Attack: 4 Health: 6 Abilities: Battlecry, Restore Health Tags: Deck-related, Health-related Battlecry: If your deck has no duplicates, fully heal your hero.Reno ) while at 5 or less Health with an Unlicensed Apothecary on board will result in the hero being destroyed, even if the minion`s healing should allow the hero to live, because the hero is dead before the Battlecry Phase begins.
