    So...aggro, meet your new overlord.

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

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    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.

    For glory, honor, and gold!

    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.

    Living like that.

    2 mana jeeves, a jeeves for the modern age.

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

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    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.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    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.

    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

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    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.
