  • So...aggro, meet your new overlord.

    I guess that'S how they nerf Demon Hunter...just make every other class be Demon Hunter too

  • Jeeves Card Image has taught her well.

    Even Hunter card draw will benefit greatly.

  • Insane in aggro decks that don't have card draw, like Tempo Buff Priest and Totem Shaman. It allows those decks to have reload after they dump their cheap early game hand. Not a staple in all aggro decks, but the stand-out card in aggro decks that need it.

  • Are they for real? they had such effect being behind symmetrical effects before they really pulled the trigger on card draw this expansion..

  • Cheap refill for any hyper aggressive deck, seems good.  Just the card that Tempo/Zoo Priest needed to get going.

  • Not worried about Glide anymore. Since this is way better for draw in DH in every single way. Now it can only be added for tech, and aggro doesn't use tech cards.

  • 2 mana jeeves, a jeeves for the modern age.

    This is great. Looking forward to using this in just about any aggro deck.

  • this card is crazy powerful even if it only triggers once, it is just straight up insane if it triggers multiple times. This card allows aggro decks to be as trigger happy as they want and not lose cards. It will definitely see play in standard as well as wild, it is just too much value not to play.

  • Aw, she doesn't eat the books? She's not very voracious then (and that was your shitty joke for the day).

    Seems like it would be really strong in super, super face decks that vomit their whole hand no problem since it's an easy refill of 3 cards.

  • I really don't understand why this doesn't also work for the opponent, it seems super nuts.

  • Oh poor Jeeves, got outclassed at last.

    face hunter, tempo dhunter fodder.

    Nothing else I can think of. Its still a tempo loss at the end. And jeeves was in a meta much less threatening that the ones we're seeing nowadays where aggro can kill you within 5 turns.

  • Good card for Aggro and Zoo Decks. Decent Stats too. 

     

  • It's crazy how much better than Jeeves this is. Unless you're trying to mill your opponent of course.

  • Just great, especially can be played from T2 (or T1 w coin), can even make secret pally a thing, i hope..

  • This card is INSANE. our poor classy mech Jeeves finally got powercreeped. Also Jeeves to this day still sees play, so that's why i'm guessing Voracious Reader will also see play in a lot of decks. Here are a few examples of decks this will probably fit in perfectly:

    Murloc Shaman, Murloc Paladin, Egg/enrage warrior, Burn mage, and spell-damage shaman? The best deck for Voracious Reader is probably burn mage, because they often run out of spells or don't draw their combo pieces. (Which is why Burn mage & secret mage decks in wild use Aluneth.)

    Also in WILD: THIS IS EVEN COSTED! This will certainly fit in decks that blow outta resources FAST, like Even Hunter and Even Shaman. (Just to name a few) This will certainly replace Jeeves in most decks, but not all. The exceptions are: Mech decks (they want to mechnetise onto Jeeves) and of course: Fatigue decks.

  • Aggro is getting even more aggressive? Control is getting sick value/discover cards and Combo is just all over the place...

    I wonder which one will prevail once the dust settles.

  • Shameless power creep is shameless (and yes, I will be posting this exact same text on similar power creeping cards).

    And in this case, it's broken shameless power creep. Poor Jeeves.

  • One of the strongest card of the set. This is so op in agro deck. Autoinclude and 5 star easy

  • I like to play aggro - but this card is just broken. x_X

  • Pick a card... Any card

  • This might come really handy with aggro... Rogue legendary spell saw a lot of use, this is gonna see some action

  • Nerfed within a month or 2. This is the second strongest card of the set.

    Yeah, this is broken. 2 mana draw 3 with a 1/3 body, seems legit.

  • Broken as can be. This will be nerfed.

  • Jeeves human form

  • OP

  • CRAZY powerful card! This card will carry aggro, it's bonkers. This will get nerfed, heed my words.

  • Ridiculously strong card--Jeeves but better. Aggro/Embiggen/Pirate Druid in wild just got a little scarier?

    Hyper-aggro lists will love this card, and I expect to see this in aggro lists that lack card draw.

  • Oh Geez they reprinted Jeeves ^^

  • A very powerful neutral card that a lot of aggressive decks can utilise for refills. 

  • Look how they butchred my boy Jeeves.

  • 1 mana 1/3 is VERY weak in stats.

    However, this minion allows for a VERY aggressive playstyle that will allow you to empty your hand and then refill it at the end of your turn.

    Decks such as Tempo Demon Hunter and the Zoolock will adopt this minion for sure, and Zoolock's imprisoned scrap imp will make this minion a healthy 3/4 that can draw 3 cards if they play their hand correctly, allowing them to not have to rely solely on Hand of Gul'dan being discarded to draw minions.

    Tempo Demon Hunter, while already having card draw with Sigil Outrunner, Spectral Sight and Skull of Gul'dan sometimes just want...MORE. It'll be interesting however to see if DH uses this minion over Glide, since Glide can draw 4 AND force your opponent to shuffle their hand as well.

    With Mage also getting what looks like an aggressive shell this little minion may be adopted by Jaina as well to draw their cheap removal and efficient minions

  • Really good in aggro, since the way you win against them is by lasting until they have to start topdecking

  • Aggro deck staple?

  • May I help you, sir? Why yes, Jeeves. Yes you can.

  • I will run it on my wild mech hunter, poor Jeeves. He had accomplished his purpose

  • I really like the artwork for this card. I'm not sure why but the gnomes are just so cute. I think the effect will be welcome in aggro decks.

  • poor Jeeves crying in the corner. Aggro decks got so happy

  • Better Jeeves.

    Tempo priest can draw cards now.

     

    Autoinclude on every aggro deck.

    • Yeah, everyone's already talked about how OP this card is and how it's better than Jeeves, so I"m not saying anything new here.

  • I struggle to remember how good Jeeves was, but judging by everyone else's reaction to this card I'm gonna say it was probably decent enough. That makes this card absolutely insane.

  • Great tool for aggro decks, specially for classes with card draw as their weakness.
