At first I thought it was too expensive, but compare it to Twilight Drake and it's incredible. This will absolutely see play in all Warlock decks except zoo.
Really amazing pay off... But that is going to be more difficult to pull off in Standard as opposed to Wild. In Wild, this could find it's way into Odd Paladin... but only for niche and/or meme players
Does this work with just 1 battlecry? Like drop this, then just Mutanus the Devourer and it triggers twice or do you need a [Hearthstone Card (penflinger) Not Found]after to trigger 1 additional time?
Cheap card that let's you play the same battlecry over and over. Going to end up busted at some point. Just the dungeoneer let's you draw 4+ cards for pretty cheap.

I understand that legendaries don't need to have flashy effects all the time (e.g. Aya Blackpaw, Infiltrator Lilian, and our lord and saviour Zilliax), but for a character as influential as Anetheron who led the Scourge in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, it's pretty underwhelming. The effect can potentially be very strong based on how quickly a Warlock can fill their hand, but it really feels like a Mountain Giant substitute for Standard.
My guess as to what happened during development was this was an epic or something, but they weren't able to balance it properly while allowing two copies of it to be run in a Warlock deck, so they made it legendary and slapped some canonically significant Nathrezim as a name.
And yes, Hearthstone doesn't have to be an accurate representation of WoW's universe (which is actually what makes the game's storytelling element more interesting in my opinion), but this card could literally have been any important bad guy. It completely fails to reflect his influence and his abilities in WoW.
This kind of effects are great, just using it to clear the board with Chaos Nova and Eye Beams is enough I think, or at least I feel that way since I like to play attrition games.
I really don't understand the hate, must every legendary have a keyword soup to be considered interesting? This is a build-around card worthy of its rarity, watch the reveal video if you lack some deckbuilding inspiration.
its an effect we have seen before, inclduing, last set on a epic in the same class.
Costing less with a certain condition isnt unique to be a legendary,
and they dont need a keyword, they do something speciall/unique/intresting/not seen before.
The Legendary Paladin Questline Has Been Revealed for United in Stormwind by Gamespot - Rise to the Occasion
Remembers me of The Marsh Queen and how the community had the exact same hype.
This will be no different i guess. I might be wrong tho.
New Warlock Minion - Anetheron
This card is good, but the effect doesn't feel legendary. It'll see play if demon seed or handlock are meta.
New Warlock Spell - Dark Alley Pact
Honestly, how hard is it to play control lock and NOT have a full hand?

New Shaman Minion - Bolner Hammerbeak
Not bad... but not super good either

New Neutral Minion - Two-Faced Investor
Trash filler card, but will be fun to watch how it's outcome affects games when it's randomly summoned
New Rogue Weapon - Counterfeit Blade
This has a lot of fun things that could be tied to it. Being able to repeat a Deathrattle that already triggered is pretty awesome

Best synergy is with a card cheaper than this so it can be played on curve. Ticket Master works well, but not well enough to build a deck around.

New Paladin Weapon - Lightbringer's Hammer
Doesn't have a whole lot going for it. Would rather play Underlight Angling Rod. Also, not sure the 'Can't attack heroes' text is even needed.
New Legendary Warlock Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Blizzard & Friends - Anetheron
If this was a Rare or perhaps an Epic, it would be fine. But for a Legendary, that's pretty bland.
Should at least have Rush, or some other secondary ability, to be worthy of Legendary status.
New Paladin Weapon - Lightbringer's Hammer
IF there is going to be some weapon buff, this would be pretty solid. Other than that I think it is a little meh
