This is an interesting card. You have to know your decks curve pretty well, and also which cards you have already drawn. I think this will see a lot of play since two mana draw 1 isn't terrible, and two mana draw 2 is incredible. And for most decks it shouldn't be hard to guess correctly.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
The fetish card.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was done by the same artist as Bloated Python
Living like that.
In a lot of combo decks that run many low cost cards and a few high cost cards, this is deceptively poor, because I assume that cards that cost the same are always not drawn, and they often run many cards at each cost.
In value based druid decks, usually larger draw effects like Fungal Fortunes are preferred.
Fun idea, but not sure it slots anywhere.
This post is discussing the wild format.
Feels like an aggro card to me since it's easy to guess between 1 & 2.
I don't think it'd work in anything with high costs, because you'll have too much diversity in your deck to regularly get the payoff.
This card seems good, but i feel like it will need some time to get used a lot. With some time, i mean after the rotation next expansion, so it's biggest competition at the 2 mana spell: "draw a card" slot: Rising Winds rotates out. (And Rising Winds can give tempo) But even then there still is Fungal Fortunes that get's preferred a lot more in spell heavy druid decks. But Guess the Weight will see some play in a while in more minion heavy decks.
But i do like the effect of the card. It's better in the hands of someone who is either: skilled enough to make good guesses based on the cards they know that they haven't drawn yet, or the average person that uses a deck tracker.
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.
The natural follow up to Lorekeeper Polkelt. Do druid combo decks even want this in standard? This combo might work in Quest druid to get to the more impactful cards like Cenarius or Hidden Oasis or something we haven't seen yet, but I remain skeptical.
I guess like Joust it will fail if the mana costs are equal. That might actually be quite relevant, especially in a class that doesn't need any more card draw.
With proper deckbuilding, you can definitely lessen the chances of making it a guessing game and actually make a consistent 2 mana draw 2. It works well with Lorekeeper Polkelt as well. It isn't as strong as Breath of Dreams, but perhaps it can be used in that card's place in Druid decks which don't want Dragons.
Most likely gonna become staple in literally every druid deck.

Properly considered, this is a bad card. Druid has never been low on card draw and mana, so what does this do exactly?
Its a fair card for druid, and when most druid decks are filled with broken stuff, this just will not make it. Unless of course, there's some card behind the scenes that basically guarantees the 2nd draw.
I feel like this draws you one most times, but gives you good information if you guess wrong. If you guess right though... this is pretty good.
2 mana draw a card is really bad, 2 mana draw 2 cards is fine.. but not spectacular.. also if the cards cost the same you lose(?) if not it has more of a chance to see play.
maybe if almost your whole deck is 2 cost cards (we saw 3 2 cost druid cards so far..)
I think joust was made to win on a tie a few patches ago.
Right now I can't really see if this will take place over other draw engines. Probably not, but in a high-curve deck this will often draw 2 wich is really good.
This looks kind of hit or miss to me. Paying 2 to draw 1 is going to feel bad. On the flip side, missing the guess does give you a hint about what card you will draw next.

Draw 1 card, flip a coin and you may draw a second?
Seems interesting, at the very least
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
A bit of a disappointment for an epic card, really boring in terms of effect. Probably best when situationally discovered by cards like Nature Studies and cast for 1-mana otherwise pretty average use of a deck slot
Don't kink shame blizzard artists!
I'll boop you

I think this has potential, if you know your deck chances are you are going to hit this right.
Some powerful draw tool if you manage too guess right
Druid had gotten a lot of low cost draw cards lately and I gotta say, I'm pretty stoked about it.
2 mana draw 2 is sweet, but 2 mana draw 1 is bad.
I don't know if that card will see any play. Maybe on Combo decks.
By The Holy Light!
Don't think every druid deck would use this, keep in mind, if your next draw is the same cost as the previously drawn card, you're guaranteed to get 1 card. So maybe ramp decks might find it useful if most of their deck is top heavy
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Druid has better options to draw. but maybe will see fringe play

Doesn't seem that good of a card, mostly because druid already have so many cards that draw cards. That being said, I still believe the card will see play when discovered from cards like Nature Studies.
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)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
I don't think this will be consistent enough to actually run in a deck, but its a nice spell to get off of random generation or discover effects.
Now that's a brave prediction. Quoting it to make sure it survives for future generations.
Actually directly rewards using a deck tracker.
Still seems meh.
Even if you don't guess correctly you have a slight advantage as you know roughly how much your next card costs
Disclaimer: if the above is factually incorrect or complete rubbish it is definitely both intentional and comedy genius.
gotta love the gamble on this card
TOTAL CORRUPTION
TOTAL POWAAAAAAA
Feels like an actual carnival game, with some skill but a lot of luck. I think it will be run. Deck trackers are gonna help a TON with this card though because then you know what's in your deck.

I think it could be super useful with polkett or deck trackers granted I have no idea what I'm judging these cards on half the time though since I'll most likely end up playing none of them.
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
I think that Druid already has a lot of efficient card draw options that an inconsistent one mana discount on Arcane Intellect that is hard to justify running in a Druid deck. There is no guaranteeing the two card draws as if the two cards are the same cost, then you can't draw the second card. I'd much rather run a Wrath or Breath of Dreams to get a more guaranteed bonus effect with the card draw.
For glory, honor, and gold!
It would have been great with “Corrupt: Repeat until you guess wrong”
Boring epic card, I wonder how the guess animation/mechanic works though.
Fun card that is also a potential 2 mana draw 2.
Good card and good idea for design porpuses
All hail the banshee queen.
This can easily be activated, so it will see some play.
Really good after a Polkelt.
Build your deck right, use Hearthstone Deck Tracker to assess what's left in your deck, and it's an easy 2 mana draw 2.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
THis should be easy enough to make consistent guesses about. I think it will be run a lot.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Assuming this doesn't draw a card if the next card is the exact same Cost, it feels like you would need to build your deck in a very specific way to make this more than just a worse Wrath. I'm not sure it's worth the effort.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Seems reasonably achievable if you know your deck well enough. I just don't know if Druids are actually that starved for card draw that this is something they really want.
Welcome to the site!
Awesome flavour, I really like what they did with this card. We need more like it!
