    I was once trying to make a fan made card that does bad thing when your opponent plays a discovery card, but benefitting the discovery card instead sounds like a great idea!

    Looks like a fun card, but it needs to stay survive or it will be worthless.

    Could become a thing in the future.

    How does this interact with Master's Call? I know you wouldn't play them together in a deck, just wondering.

    I know that it always draws 3 unique beasts (as long as you have atleast 3 uniques of course), because discover only shows unique choices, so there is a chance for a spaghetti code interaction here.

    My guess would be it doesn't reduce the cost of anything, but who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    maybe in highlander for zephyr? also there are many discover cards in highlander decks anyway, as well as being a well stated minion could make this card playable.

    My educated guess is they all get a discount because you are still essentially discovering even if you end up drawing all three. I don't think that 'draw' overwrites the discover or anything. Even if you just discover the one you are still drawing it because it is from your deck. We shall see

    Good question. Imho Chimera is right and you will get some discounts on the three cards. The discovery effect is there, but you just don't select anything, because all 3 outcomes are beasts and are automatically drawn. The real question is why run the Dwarven Archaeologist in a beast deck in the first place, because she might appear in the discovery pool and ruin the spell's second effect.

    Btw the moment I saw it, I immediately thought about how priests would try to abuse it with Shadow Visions. I know that Radiant Elemental already exists in wild, but the epic spell lets you generate an additional copy of a spell you want and you know you will get and you could play the elemental after already having reduced the cost of some spells. Just my random thoughts, but on a second thought Emperor Thaurissan and Vivid Nightmare on the 2/3 would be better.

    If it works like that, that all three cards get the bonus, then Omega Assembly is getting even stronger. And with the new Stonehill Defender and Elysianna it might actually be sort of busted in Warrior.

    Seems like a hit and miss card. If reduction was better.

    Exactly this.

    It is an interesting card, but what she does is diminishing the Tempo loss of a Discovery...

    But if your deck has so many discovery as to make this card consistent, it means you are playing a pretty slow game, and so you're probably better off with bigger, more significant cards than this one in your list.
