I feel old remembering this box from the crossroads.
You could run this in any rogue deck, but I think it will want to go in a more midrange control style deck that may not exist yet in rogue. Have to watch and see what happens
NO I wanted weapon rogue to slow down, not gain more traction. Personal bias aside, this is a good card, and the limited number of poisons in Standard would make this insane
Good against any combo deck, can be played to fatigue your opponent while you shuffle infinite primes into your deck and the new discard your deck archetype.
Alright so i'm probably not the only one seeing this and thinking "ugh handbuff Warrior again? It never works." right? Handbuffing is only good in 1 deck, and that's in Wild in Handbuff Paladin. That's it.
That being said it does have a bit of potential. It MIGHT be good in control warrior though. A strong card to buff with this are taunts that copy themself like Mor'shan Elite and rush minions, which warrior has a lot of! Blademaster Samuro is also a good target. But the most juicy target for this buff is for Carnival Clown, BUT warrior does need a 10 cost card in order to corrupt it. And warrior doesn't like playing Scrapyard Colossus, Darkmoon Rabbit or an old god in their decks. (Well Big warrior likes Scrapyard Colossus, but that's because they cheat em out for 7 mana.)
Another problem for this card is that warrior is losing A LOT of draw (Because of Battle Rage and Shield Block are rotating), and warrior already lacked draw. And guess what warrior needs in order to get a lot of value and buff a lot of minions with [Hearthstone Card (Physical Training (rank 1)) Not Found]? Oh wait draw. I beleave Iksarr said in a AMA that classes that lacked draw will get some draw options, but untill we see those draw cards i don't think [Hearthstone Card (Physical Training (rank 1)) Not Found] will be a card that will at most see occasional play/experimentation. But once warrior has plenty of draw, i think [Hearthstone Card (Physical Training (rank 1)) Not Found] will be a lot better!
does not destroy the minion, does not silence it, meh. reducing the targets stats to half wouldnt help that much. thinking about Humility or Aldor Peacekeeper, this seems much weaker.
This card has potential, but we've seen the Portal before, and if discard had more synergy than deck emptying, I don't think this will be a popular card
The really troubling thing is that upon rotation warlock is going to be the only class with any good way to shuffle things back into the deck (Cast when drawn cards don't really count). Not even rogue will have anything. So if you want to play a slow deck that doesn't just lose to having half of its cards deleted, you have to play warlock. Such great design...
very hard to rate. Tickatus is played since it has no drawback. I still think you wouldnt want to destroy your deck as well. so I would say this "destroy your own deck" warlock will be a fail. it may come as "draw many cards" warlock with other synergy cards tho.
I think this has a serious chance to be a win condition for a Control Warlock. The class has an easier time than most other control decks reaching fatigue thanks to Life Tap. Once they hit fatigue and play Neeru Fireblade, they can play Envoy Rustwix or whatever ways they can duplicate that deathrattle to avoid fatigue damage. A free board of eighteen damage each turn can quickly outpace even the 6/6 Abyssals from Lord Jaraxxus and will be harder for opponents to keep up with than the 6/6 Abyssals. This looks crazy and scary and I can't wait to try this out!
I like the Rustwix Idea, so I think just Rustwix is better since if you have Neeru and did not have an empty deck it becomes a dead card for a pretty long time.
The problem with this strategy is that I think you want to empty your deck as soon as possible, and chtun pieces don't help on this and also most of the new cards that empty your deck target random cards. It seemed cool though.
New Priest Spell - Condemn (Rank 1)
With this name i thought it was a shadow spell, i don't remember if holy nova is still on standard but this can be even better!
New Priest Minion - Serena Bloodfeather
It's interesting, not strong but it seems flexible, it's strong against Rattlegore for example.
New Warlock Spell - Altar of Fire
Not again. First tickatus then this? Alright, I guess I will keep playing aggro just to kill all annoying warlock decks.
New Warlock Spell - Altar of Fire
Don't think this will see any play :D Lovely if your opponent gets this from Yogg though
New Rogue Minion - Apothecary Helbrim

New Priest Minion - Serena Bloodfeather
This could be absolutely insane in the right matchup, and depending on how the mechanic actually works out, it could be a 5 star card
New Warrior Spell - Physical Training (Rank 1)
warrior kinda lacks card draw now. and besides, handbuff is not good after early turns, so I think this wont be played.
New Warlock Spell - Altar of Fire
Wait for the card that gives you back X destroyed cards and the circle is complete..
New Priest Minion - Serena Bloodfeather
Good design that fits almost any deck type. Won't win the game, but will definitely help win the board.
New Rogue Minion - Apothecary Helbrim

New Warrior Spell - Physical Training (Rank 1)
Maybe we're getting good handbuff cards! After Feat of Strength came out, I had hope for handbuff archetypes again.
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade
Old quest warlock on a stick. By itself, still not impressive. Needs another good payoff to go with it like burn or opponent deck destruction

New Warlock Spell - Altar of Fire
Auto include in almost any zoolock, I would run this in a control warlock deck but I'm too afraid to burn key cards

Isn't loving/hating yourself the core identity of warlock? Here's a 3/2 (ouch!). I want a card (ouch!).
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade
now this is a card that you wanna build a deck for it
I really wish warlock would get its own Academic Espionage someday.

Still not sold on deck destruction warlock. Hope they pkay it today to see how it fares
