    I do not know how much play this will see, but I really like this design. Not being a battlecry or anything makes it difficult to trully abuse. Even though you have cards that can really disturb your opponent. A lot.

    The bane of combo decks, though this kind of disruption isn't as bad if you can keep combo pieces safe with ETC. Although, if this hits your ETC, you're screwed then too.

    The ultimate combo killer deck.

    If your opponent hasn't have this card in hand, and dont have their combo pieces, the game is practically over. A particularly harsh killer of classes like druid or rogue, where most of their wins come from drawing and playing tons of cards per turn.

    Fortunately, such grief will likely be curtailed, because this card is just theotar all over again. It forces the opponent to need this card or suffer the consequences of having their deck yeeted out. Wont be too surprised if this gets into ETC at the very least, or more likely it'll just get nerfed to 6.

    Imagine conceding from this card, not pleasant to say the least.

     

    Edit: Well, I think Im missing the mark here. Its not a battlecry, so the effect overturns if it dies or gets silenced. So much for that argument. Why'd this card be 5 mana then is beyond me, because in what world will anyone bother playing this card? So you can steal one card off your opponent? Bear in mind that you spent 5 mana doing that, and your opponent didn't, for the same exact result.

    In wild this is going to be very interesting.

    Warrior: The Fires of Zin-Azshari and Explore Un'Goro  in combination with our friend Steamcleaner

    Priest:  Resurrect + The Jailer

    Bad meme, might break Wild but will probably just end up being banned there.

    I don't get why we have to do this again when Togwaggle already did.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    As soon as you kill it, you get your deck back, yes?

    This should be interesting. The finale guarantees you steal at least one of your opponent's card before this dies, which is nice. Not that I'd want this do stay alive for long as I think I would rather play my own deck.

    Tony, King of Piracy + The Fires of Zin-Azshari = bronze rank 10 due to the generated cards being better then most warrior cards. Finally a good warrior combo. :(

    Edit: Steamcleaner is a thing, so nvm that combo might be decent.

    Okay now seriously, this will see a bunch of play because some classes can abuse this card for some mean strats. One of these being The Jailer + Tony, King of Piracy. I think some warlock deck that uses The Jailer + Mal'Ganis might use Tony, King of Piracy as well as a back-up strat, in case the opponent manged to remove their board with a Twisting Nether like effect.

    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.

    Tony prefers sailing on torrents rather than streams.

    I want this to be bad, because I don't want to play in a meta where Tony Warrior is actually good.
