    Pretty good card, nothing flashy.

    Most good warlock spells are shadow so the DR will find value. As with most mana cheats, may be a combo piece down the line.

    This card is weirdly positioned, because for something that cheats 3 mana you'd think it'll be the best card in warlock this set, but because of its inherent anti synergy with Tamsin Roame it can end up backfiring on your arse. Just imagine your Dragged Below being 0 mana now, so that's one curse card lost because of discount mechanics.

    But as usual, anything that cheats mana will always get a second look. I wouldn't be too surprised that this see play, but how impactful? that's yet to be determined.

    Another good minion for curse warlock. I have a bad feeling about this...

    I am seeing only pros with this.  Will there be times that you play this and it will make your Mortal Coil reduce?  Sure.  But there are dozens of other cards that it can hit that will make people cringe.  Having someone drop a Twisting Nether that's been discounted by this and that damn weapon is enough to validate using this for me.

    Useful in nearly every Warlock deck because mana cheat always breaks everything, so 4 stars.

    Normal stats, powerful deathrattle.

    It's very solid for a shadow synergy deck

    Pretty great. The effect is targetted so you always know what it will hit and can plan around it. Probably really good in Curselock because it sets up easier combos (and makes Abyssal Wave not be complete shit)

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Well, this might be good. Nice mana cheat card, anyway.

    Interesting, this is both good and BAD with Tamsin Roame, which is a must-include in many warlock decks. At least you actually have a bit of control over what gets discounted, but if it discounts a 3 or lower cost spell your probably annoyed because you miss out on Tamsin Roame value.

    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.

    Think you are right on this one, it is simply a question of time before the right combo pieces get discovered.
    This has the potential to be abused ; mana cheat always see play!

    5 mana Twisting Nether does sound scary...

    It has decent stats, so it might be worth running to take advante of the strong Deathrattle effect.
