Seems like a very good card for control warlock when going up against other control decks.
Ribbit
Pretty lame overall, but I guess no deck Warlock will run it. Fireblade is just that good.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I do not think it is worth to run
-=alfi=-
I don't really think this will be good enough to run. It is strong when you have the right situation for it but I feel like you usually will find this more awkward than expected.
They're really pushing empty warlock, and I am okay with it
4 Mana 7/7
Well, I guess the lesser cards the faster their tempo will be the question is how fast till they get there without burning key cards.
I'm starting to believe in self-mill warlock, and this card would fit well there. Also Warlock can get to < 10 cards very easy.
I am still not sold on the deck sacrifice warlock
Some more support for 0 deck warlock is nice.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
Now that everything is revealed: Burn Warlock is not good enough. So this won't be either.
Self destruct Zoo will help this along I think
when your deck is <10 card, to save a few mana is normally not so important
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Not worth it imo
Very strong when it's 1 mana, BUT i still am not sure about this archetype. Seems way too unreliable.
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.
too slow and by the time you can even drop it at 1 cost it probably wont be really useful
Well, it looks decent, but I hope it won't be showing up too much, cos burn warlock is an awful archetype.
Part of me really wants this "Fatigue Warlock" deck to work, but I just don't know if getting a few powerful minions is enough to make the deck work. If nothing else I will have fun trying to make it work.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
nah. it wont worth it
6/6 taunt at the end of game is not what i want to draw
good
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Not sure where it will fit, but a decent card
I feel underwhelmed by this.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
pretty good for deck-discard warlock
Too bad you burned this three burnt cards ago, dummy.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Sloooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

How fast can we discard our deck lol? When this costs 1, it wouldn't matter that much, I think.
OBLIVION!
Idk how good will mill warlock be, but I will play the shit out of it!
Still not sold on sacrifice warlock but it is getting close
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Maybe in Zoo?
I hate warlock. It's nice that they have such a supportive minion, helping them against averse circumstances. (That they've brought on themselves)
Nice
The requirement is to steep, when you reach this point the effect is not worth it
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
i dunno if there is enough there for this warlock archetype
I just don't believe in "Burn your own cards"-Warlock at all, including this card. The stats are too bad for the cost and the effect is too unreliable.
Strong in the specific fast draw deck.
Deep Warlock has some really interesting tools this expansion. I think the archetype shows a lot of promise, and this works really well to help it survive or put big stats on the board in the late game. Not sure if this archetype will be strong enough, but I certainly want to try it out. Doubtful this card makes it into other decks.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
You can only cast this very very late to matter i think.
Now this is an interesting card to add to the "destroyDeckLock". Still doubt the deck will be viable
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Strong card in fast drawing deck, providing defence when it's most needed, close to finish. But not very imaginative.
you better make sure this wasn't one of the cards Destroyed
No deck warlock?maybe for fun but need more to work .
This is an auto-include in "Empty Deck Warlock", but I don't anticipate that deck to be good right away. Needs more support.
Second best warlock card this expansion. I like this new Warlock archetype which Blizzard want to show us.
good idea but clogs ur hand
Ok I'm starting to feel this kill-your-deck warlock. Maybe we even run Tickatus and just don't corrupt him?
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Yikes, so they are super serious about this archetype. I'm too lazy to go back are revise my other ratings, but I would do it if I cared. This one pushes the whole thing into "possibly legit" territory for me.
Really cool package, but I've got no clue how strong it'll actually be. Could go either way, so 3 stars to be on the safe side.
Arena > Wild > Standard
So more support for YES! Warlock.
I guess it's not that bad, but it's a growing archetype which is not sold on me.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
So many better cards to use without conditionals
This could easily see play in the "deck destruction" archetype if that deck is strong, but it's not the reason you play it, and it's frankly not that exciting. I doubt the value here is all that important in a more traditional control deck.
The cost discount definitely seems like bait. (1) 6/6 with Taunt sounds insane, but unless you annihilate half your deck quickly, it'll come too late to have any real impact.
It's really difficult to trigger this discount.
Warlock is getting some really interesting control/late game tools. I'm still not picturing how to recover when so behind, but with card like these, discounted or upgraded, there is some potential
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Ok card.
I doubt no card warlock will take off - but if it does this will be part of it. But likely by the time you really trigger this a 1 mana 6/6 is likely less hard to deal with
goes well with the burn your own deck gameplan
Well said.
The support for the archetype is definitely there but you can just as easily end up burning your playoffs cards and lose to your self-milling. And just a stat stick late in the game, no matter the size, shouldn't be too hard to deal with.
Meh.
The other epic card of that archetype is sightly better, that one looks weak.
By The Holy Light!
Just a meeh card
I'm not online it's just your imagination
I like this deck burn Warlock they're pushing. Hopefully it's decent, and not like when they tried pushing Discolock in Un'Goro.
Incredible for Control
Well , could work pretty Well in the New Warlock Archetype that kills it's own deck but not too sure that it will be a thing so i guess its pretty bad.
I mean 6 Mana 6/6 could be ok ...
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Its not really a bad card, but its true potential is obviously in a sort of miracle warlock which burns through their deck quickly.
If miracle warlock is good, then this card will be good. Just keep going through the deck and play this as a final coup. Why not?
But outside of that, the stats is just vanilla and will therefore never see any play.
useless for now
Good addition to the deck depleting archetype. Could be played on curve if necessary.
Blizzard really want warlock to draw their whole deck...
We saw similar statline work, but all depends on condition here

1 mana 6/6 taunt? Just OP.
Murlocs <3
Empty deck warlock is getting some interesting tools. I am waiting to see how it performs
A 6/6 taunt for 6 is not that good, and when you've discarded all your card, I assume you'd rather find something that will win you the game, though I assume it will probably still be included in discard deck Warlock archetypes.
Destroy your deck is just way too inconsistent you desroy the payoff cards and uninstall.
good
Doesn't seem that great, it'll sit in your hand a lot for just a 5 mana discount
1 mana for a 6/6 is super good, but the condition is not that simple to achive. Also i'm not a super fan of the Deck Destruction Mechanics since you can destroy your win condition easly
I'm interested to see where this empty deck warlock goes.
Just hope you draw it when you're deck had 9 cards
I still don´t like this idea of burning your whole deck, this one might see play in some decks.

The thing is, if you're destroying your deck for Neeru Fireblade, you want either cards that can draw him or cards that destroy your deck. You don't really care about any more synergy.

Good card once the cost is reduced, so might work in the Imp portal style of deck
Really strong in self-mil Warlock and potentially decent in a regular Control Warlock.
No deck Warlock. I'm still grasping for how it will work. There needs to be a fine balance of cards that function with little to no deck remaining and cards that let you get to that point while still having enough life and resources to win the game.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
This looks to be a decent payoff for those destroy cards in you deck spells. Assuming you draw it before it gets destroyed itself.
Considering Warlocks alility to cycle through their deck, this can see play. It doesn't even need to be in a pure deck destruction deck, Tickatus control Warlock will do fine.
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
The issue with this and Blood Shard Bristleback is that they have anti-aggressive effects, but you can't have these effects for anti-aggression in the early game. These remind me of the omega cards from the Boomsday Project where people thought they could justify running omega cards against aggro because they were decent stats on-curve, but they ultimately proved to be inconsistent in reaching their effects.
For glory, honor, and gold!
ehhh worth more in dust
This is one of those cards that Trump rates 5 stars and that doesn't see any play afterwards.
good card
Cheap taunt for control
Don't underestimate a 1 mana 6/6. Warlocks like drawing cards and thinning their deck. Does have significant anti-synergy with soul fragments
Control lock says hell yeah. Will be interested to see if the deck burn can be a real threat.
I can't quite get a feel for how this archetype (deck destruction warlock) is going to work. Maybe this fits and is great, or maybe you need better cards than 'just a 6-6 taunt for 1 mana' as your deck disappears...
no idea if this archetype will be good, but I'm definitely trying it with Mecha'thun
Great value later in the game, although at that point warlocks usually have a lot of value anyway. If the game goes that long, I think there are a number of other cards that I would rather draw into. Overall, not a bad card, but not one that I'm super excited about. Not a game changer by any means.
Feels better in aggro decks than fatigue, honestly. Actually it's bad for aggro, but maybe if a midrange draw-heavy Warlock emerges, this will be important. I doubt it though.
5 stars in Fatigue Warlock.
Do you need this in a deck where you are destroying your own deck? Probably not.
no faith in it
Good if you don't mill it yourself lol
For The HORDE!
Not good enough. A 6/6 endgame minion is not good.
Strong in the archetype they're pushing, but I'm just not a fan of deliberately burning through your own stuff with no way of recovering it. Some people like that kind of tension in their games, but I don't.
Welcome to the site!
Empty Deck Warlock will probably be a thing and this will make the cut for sure.

Pretty good, even in a fast deck that uses a lot of cards, this will see play.
