    Another meme epic card, but they're fun to play. This would work best against classes with tons of low cost cards like Rogue and Mage.

    Funny meme. 

    It would work best on a deck with a lot of high cost cards when playing versus a deck with low cost cards.

    The problems with this card are multiples: paying 5 mana for a 6/5, the high inconsistency of the card, the fact that the opponent is going to be the first one to have a chance to play the card that he drew.

    Being a meme epic I'll surely open 4 of them, it's a trend

    This is one of those niche epics that you will open 6 copies of.

    Yeah this likely won't see too much play. The obvious usage is within big decks, but it doesn't really come out early enough for the mana cheat to be considerably impactful. Could be pretty nice to give your opponent a 10 mana Innervate though.

    In theory this might work in a deck with lots of heavy minions. But i believe it's not worth to play) Just a fun epic expansion filler. And i'd prefer another ways to destroy an opponent's combo - Hecklebot and Dirty Rat if we talk about Wild.

    Every deck has costs all over the place it's too inconsistent to be actually used, this kind of effect rarely sees play specially effects that are random And depend on your opponent's cards...

    Yes if your curve is high you can screw them but you won't be idle all early game for such effects.. Even Astral druid runs wild growth and innervate..

    Also, 5 Mana 6-5 draw a Card seems good enough for Arena.

    Seems to be another meme card just like Drakkari Trickster, but it could potentially have use in a crazy combo deck in the future. I wouldn't have guessed Ancient Brewmaster would be a staple in a paladin otk deck, and yet it was, so you never know.

    I'll try one in my wild Shudderwock deck to take advantage of faster decks, and potentially disrupt combo decks. However, I don't see this as a strong turn 5 play against aggro.

    I really don't see what deck wants Tentacled Menace. The vanilla statline helps it a bit, but the effect is really weird. I guess in a "Big" deck like Big Paladin you could use this to try and swap costs, but it's typically the case that "Big" archetypes still have to include lots of cheap removal tools cards, and Tentacled Menace really wants your mana curve to be bad/unplayable to make this work consistently.

    Maybe Big Warrior can get value out of this, because where other classes have cheap ways to get big stuff out (Paladin has Duel!, Druid has ramp, etc.) Warrior's "Big" payoffs are expensive (e.g. Dimensional Ripper, The Boom Reaver, and The Boomship).

    Revolves entirely around your opponent drawing a cheap card and you drawing an expensive one, and works against you in any other situation. Looks kinda bad

    Why are all of the neutral epics weird meme cards?

    It is a little frustrating how this card was almost an amazing card. If it made each player draw a minion, then you could play it in a big minion deck, or just in a deck that wants to tutor specific minions. This card could have been an interesting deck building card, but instead it will just be disappointing to open.

    I like mechanic and it could help in some big paladin or big warrior decks. The issue is that it draws any card and all decks will run some cheap cards. If this was draw a minon or a spell, it would be easier to built a deck around it. The effect is just too inconsistent and can backfire.

    I feel like as long as you aren't playing this in an Aggro deck its probably not that bad, and if you're playing some crazy control deck with lots of expensive stuff this has a lot more highroll potential, which is fun.

    Really disappointed in the Neutral Epics; outside of Kobold Stickyfinger they seem to all be meme-level or filler. This could see use in a Big archetype, but it probably won't because who really wants to risk it?

    There seems to be a lot of slower, Control-oriented cards in DoD. Swapping the cost of a beefy late-game minion with a 2- or 3-cost spell or minion is one of the best outcomes for this card. However, it goes both ways. Most spells that you'd include in your deck are on the cheap side (let's say, at or below 5 Mana), and having a key removal or combo spell's cost increased because of bad luck would be pretty frustrating. I don't think it'll have enough reliable upside to put in your deck.

    Very very interesting card. Hard to evaluate too. The statline/mana alone makes it competitive, so all you need is a greedy deck with predominantly high-cost cards and this will find a home there.

    Could be of some use in a Big minions deck, specially if your opponent is aggro...

    For you to play it turn 6 vs aggro means that your opponent probably has enough mana to play the drawn card, and he will thank you for the draw. Unless it hits giant or Shivala, but that's going to be your highlight of 1/10 games.

    Big minion decks use good big minions and little to no minion techs.

    Step 1 Draw own giant

    Step 2 Draw their combo piece

    Step 3 Win

    But in seriousness, I don't see this working too well unlesss all your cards are high cost maybe it could work with embiggen since that would increase the cost of your dudes but otherwise, this might backfire horribly

    This would be great as an effect of a 1 or 2-cost spell. As is, too unreliable to work, sadly.

    This card is not consistent enough to see competetive play, but at least it will give us some nice Trolden moments.

    Yea sadly there's no way this will be a viable card. That said, will be fun to play in highrolly decks

    An interesting pseudo-anti-aggro card. Play this and draw an expensive AoE, set its cost to 2 or 1 mana because it switched costs with your opponent’s small minion’s cost. Or if you are playing a slower, greedier deck, get a meaningful discount to win back tempo later. Probably ultimately too inconsistent to see play in the long run.

    Meme potential with deck swapping. Will be featured by Trolden at least once.

    Fun card for sure, but I feel this can make you loose more often. A risky pick even in arena despite balanced stats.

    If you're control playing against aggro decks, it's OK I guess. But you are drawing a card for them and you don't want that. And maybe the card you draw has the same cost as yours. It's the kind of card that when you get it in a pack you curse your luck.

    One of many meme neutral epics. It can be used in fringe big decks, but I have no hopes this will be in meta.

    Fun and interactive game.

    Unclear if this will reveal what your opponent drew, like a joust?
