    For a class that has plenty of draw already, this just seems too clunky.

    I see this as a kind of Divine Favor.. you empty your hand and then refill with this card.

    There are quite a lot of cards that refill your hand as DH so you never run out of gas without life tap.

    Not sure about this card. DH already has some fantastic draw, and this seems a bit... bad. Which is weird, guess it's because DH is just such a powerhouse of a class. Also Acrobatics really seems like it's supposed to be a late game draw option, because late game it's easier to fulfill the condition. And DH loves to use cards like Skull of Gul'dan in aggro decks, so if you pull that with Acrobatics you might as well have used Spectral Sight instead.

    Standard: I'm not sure about this card. But it does have some potential... i'm guessing this sees experimentation in aggro DH and Soul DH. But that's it.

    Wild: ODD Costed, so it can go in ODD DH. In ODD DH it actually seems pretty good, surprisingly. 

    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.

    This card will definitely be played. At it's base it's good, but if you are playing a relatively low curve, this is 3 mana draw 4, which is insane.

    At the start of scholomance, a super-low mana curve aggro DH was shortly popular before soul DH got mainstream and it relied heavily on constant refills. This seems better than other card draw engines in that deck so it might work in a deck like that.

    Arcane Intellect+, seems strong.  The late game potential for this pushing lethal seems massive. I already roll my eyes at Skull of Gul'dan when it gets played, this will tilt me so much as a late game topdeck.

    No, DH does not need more draw. What the heck even is this?

    DH already has good draw, this is a good card but I don't know if it'll replace the other card draw options.

    Welp, this convinces me to make an at least 25 1-drops odd demon hunter.

    If you RNG into a really awesome draw that allows you to drop 3+ cards in the turn then it's amazing.  If not... well, at least you're drawing fast

    If I recall correctly, pure aggro DH dropped Skull of Gul'dan in favor of more aggressive cards and Voracious Reader. This card could easily fill a role similar to Skull of Gul'dan in the deck while being more versatile and simply be used as an Arcane Intellect.

    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)

    Its another bait for that hyper aggro Glide deck where you basically play 15 1 drops in your deck.

    The best way to evaluate this card is to simply ask if this can replace Spectral Sight. And the answer is no. Drawing 2 for 3 mana is what I would call fair, and dhunters are particularly allergic to fair cards.

    It's an interesting design for DH, but it feels too hyper aggro, like you'd want to build your deck around low cost minions. You could also just add one of these copies and just play it very late in the game, at 10 mana, but currently there's no existing archetypes that would want to do that

    Decent - another Buff for Tempo DH i guess. Could also work in Bigger Lists but i think Tempo would benefit the most of this card even tough DH already has lots of draws.

    Now this card is obviously quite strong, but I'm not sure it'll even see play simply because Demon Hunter already has a lot of strong draw, so they don't really need this.

    Love the art, an lorewise I think it's the first saberon on the game and as a demon Hunter, maybe a hint?

    Great design, Strong effect.  Will push aggro DH more, though you cant run a soul fragment package because it wont allow another draw if one of the cards is a soul fragment.

    I think it is a bit clunky you might not be able to play both cards and then you miss out on the bonus draw or you might get 4 cards who knows!

    The issue with Acrobatics is that it sort of works against itself. The nature of the ability lends itself to aggressive strategies as having a low cost deck allows for the bonus effect to occur more often. However, aggressive DH decks want to play cards on curve, meaning Acrobatics is a bad on-curve play and competes with Skull of Gul'dan for mid-to-late game draw. I think Aggro DH already has efficient card draw with Voracious Reader and Skull that they don't need to include this.

    Great in a low-curve odd demon hunter. Might help make it relevant again.

    Do Demon Hunter's need more draw? I don't play them but when I play against them they seem to go through their decks pretty well.

    Arcane Intellect with upside. It's kind of funny that I have to question whether a card that is unquestionably better than a staple card-draw spell for Mage can even make the cut in Demon Hunter, but that is where Blizzard leaves us. Probably at its best in a faster Demon Hunter deck that can expect to get the extra card-draw most of the time (but the fail-case isn't terrible...)

    3 mana draw 4 at late.

    It's not better than Skull of Gul'dan, but can see play.

    In a low curve deck, this can easily be a 3 mana sprint as soon as turn 6. This card has insane potential, if aggro DH is possible to exist in a world with Soul DH this card will be one of the best cards in the deck.

    Strong enough card that won't see play because Demon Hunters already have good card draw and don't need it.

    (Please don't be wrong again like I was about like, every DH card ever).

    Three mana draw two is already a playable card. The option to draw four makes it even better. You can get acceptable value early to mid game and good value late game.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
