    Don't know if it's good. Maybe some extra gas for zoo but more likely value for control. Seems like it'll be fun, though.

    Fun card.  Guess warlock is gonna reign supreme in fatigue with this card to reduce their own fatigue count+Tickatus to accelerate their opponents.

    I've been playing a lot of value based Reno Lock recently and this card should slot in nicely. The problem is what to drop? 

    Cocked, locked and ready to rock...

    I think this will fit into a control Warlock archetype. Although the minion does not do much to further the control gameplan, the payoff most certainly will. Almost all of the primes will contribute towards controlling the board, especailly since they will most llikely be a fresh burst of value once the planned interactions of either deck have started to dwindle.

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

    Deathrattle makes this card much more interesting as you could do some disgusting value plays like Teron Gorefiend. Probably won't affect much but it's worth mentioning. Seems like this card is made to support the Demonlock archetype we got this expansion.

    Take my words with a grain of salt. I'm unranked and only play casuals lmao.

    Interesting anti-fatigue card. It's pretty slow. Primes are slow cards as well so it won't be great unless the game slows down and burn disappears from meta. But burn strategies probably aren't going to disappear so... yeah. I doubt this will see any play outside of memes.

    This looks like a lot of fun!  Doesn't fit in the current top Warlock deck though (or does it?) so we'll have to see a new archetype over take it.  Which I'm fine with Darkglare ZooLock going away.

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    I love it, but at the same time I understand that not having a bit of an impact against aggro is really poor at that cost.
    Still, many of the prime cards deal well with Aggro boards.

    INCREDIBLE card, so much Value! It can also go "infinite" with Kanrethad Prime! This is a must-include in Tickatus warlock, because you can stall fatigue even more, even in mirrors! Also it's probably important to note that because the Primes are a bit expensive it might be worth it to run Supreme Archaeology to mana cheat them out. Envoy Rustwix seems like a fun card, and i'm not gonna lie, i wanted Rustwix in the game as a card ever since i saw him in the "Felfire Festival" event trailer! (Darn, now i'm bussy rewatching that video again 10 times.) Worth noting though is that it can give duplicates, so Highlander decks probably won't use Envoy Rustwix.

    Standard: Pretty much a must-include for Quest/Tickatus warlock. Probably will cause some salt, because of the random Solarian Prime, Kargath Prime, Kanrethad Prime and Murgurgle Primes.

    Wild: Here is where i think it wil be.. tricky... Because it can shuffle duplicates Renolock won't use it, unless it's a more memy Renolock build. Cubelock and Mill-lock probably do want it though. Envoy Rustwix probably will see only experimentation in the worst case scenario. But hey maybe Envoy Rustwix might create a completely new "Primelock" deck that's all about ressing Envoy Rustwix and playing prime minions? Sounds kinda fun!

    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.

    Probably not going to see play. Not because the card is bad, but because warlock doesn't need cards like this. Tickatus already ensures that you're always going to win the value game outside of rogue, and Cascading Disaster is 4 removal cards that destroys just about anything. So where does this card enters in as a win condition?

    Also, its a deathrattle so its a 5 mana do nothing. So what is this card good for again?

    Sacrificial Pact has a new buddy... or maybe Robes of Protection could be used.

    I love this card! Fun and random, but also potentially a lot of late game value!

    The effect is so interesting that this will definitely be experimented with thoroughly. The "obvious" best-fit would be value-oriented control decks that want to go the distance, but I don't really see how this helps fill in the weaknesses of those decks (since Tickatus already helps you win fatigue matches). This might be the type of Legendary with a cool effect that don't mind discovering and tempo-ing, but might not include in your deck.

    For "oh crap I ran myself out of cards" zoo decks, this probably takes up a slot you'd be happier to have go to a lower-curve card, but I could see trying to make it fit into zoo with some success.

    It's a good pull from Archwitch Willow but may not see play yet, possibly in the next standard rotation when there's a smaller card pool. Right now it's just unpredictable value
