I just don't get why they would print something like this and not something more about actual self milling.
Like...the gameplan for Self Mill Warlock is pretty clear: Yeet your deck then play the Portal guy and Imp rush your opponent to death. Burning your opponent's deck is irrelevant in that deck because you're not trying to win a fatigue war.
This could have easily been something like "deal 4 to a minion and yeet 3 cards from your deck".
I woudln#t even play this for the disruption, I'd just play it to burn through my deck and get my Portal online. The enemy burn is literally just "oh and fuck you btw" and will occasionally just win you games because you destroyed their main win condition.
I have no idea if that Warlock archetype will even take off but if it does it will eventually have to be nerfed just because of how aids it is
Destroy your deck warlock is so stupid as many others have pointed out unless you just draw fast and skip the destroy part. Either way this card is just bad
This is like Argent braggart but instead of copying stats you just steal them.
It's by no means a bad card when you're opponent throws down their finisher. If your opponent is going to flood the board you're already playing priest and have some board removal already in your deck.
I guess the difference would be that Discard cards have sinergies, such as "when this is discarded do this" "when you discard a card do this" "add to your hand a discarded card" i would say the others works same as when you try draw a card with a full hand, the card is just gone, the only way to recover would be an effect recreating your starting deck.

That card can work as finnisher like Savage Roar, so you don't want to buff a minion that can't attack yet.
New Rogue Minion - Apothecary Helbrim
Xaril, Poisoned Mind mixed his poison hobbie with weapons.
Xaril saw play, and that card is better.

New Warrior Spell - Physical Training (Rank 1)
Slow, but warrior can play slow, so can see play.
New Warlock Spell - Altar of Fire
I'm waiting for an epic spell that return X destroyed cards to your hand/deck.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Death Speaker Blackthorn
Cool card without support (yet).
Jinbae Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Legendary Priest Card - Serena Bloodfeather
I think you nailed it.
Kind of my own thoughts but you summed it up very clearly and to the point.
Tier 1 artwork though - what a shame...
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
Maybe a fun fact: in WoW Smythe is bald. The proof that Hearthstone can cure baldness?

Neeru Fireblade
OMG you're right

Fun fact, in WoW this character is bald: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=3454/cannoneer-smythe

YiLingShu Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Legendary Warlock Card - Neeru Fireblade
A better Onyxia the Broodmother but with the deck condition it does seem like it will be hard to get any consistency.
New Warrior Spell - Physical Training (Rank 1)
it will not see play in competitive deck. Too poor/ slow
New Rogue Minion - Apothecary Helbrim
it seems a very good card
New Warlock Spell - Altar of Fire
bah ... very niche applications. One star
Thijs Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Warlock Card - Altar of Fire
c-c-c-combo breaker. This is going to be loved by whoever uses it and hated by everyone else.
New Mage Minion - Varden Dawngrasp
This is a really good card. 1 mana 3/3 + frost nova + damage if they are already frozen?
New Warlock Spell - Altar of Fire
Ready to hate this card for the next two years. Thanks again blizzard, after Tickatus, we were hoping for an easier one to destroy opponent game

Currently the poisons in standard are :
Deadly Posion, NitroBoost Poison, Paralytic Poison
In Wild they include:

It's a buff expansion. So this will find his spot in some deck
Thijs Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Warlock Card - Altar of Fire
This is going to be so infuriating to play against. But think of all the Wild meme decks you could play with all these deck disruption cards.
Mecha'thun Warlock. This card is essentially a Russian roulette of either "draw" 3 cards without self-damaging or burning your combo pieces.
This card + Neeru Fireblade for a Hakkar Warlock deck that goes to fatigue.
Or ThanosLock with this card, Tickatus, and the infamous Void Contract.
New Rogue Minion - Apothecary Helbrim
Great support to the new weapon. Ooze always there to help
