Rush/Aggro probably wants this late so their little rush guys can be big rush guys. I played that a lot, and from time to time one gets a hand full of the "Here for a good time, not a long time" guys, and this buffs them way up. It's a minion heavy deck, so there's always something to hit. Work the card in whenever you'd armor up anyway. Just spit balling here....
Well, this will be fun... for me :) Can someone explain to me the difference between "discard" "destroy" and "remove"? I find it a little unnecessary to have cards with various names since the effect is the same
I play Warlock because I hate being Tickatused and prefer to Tickatus my opponent. Now I can fill my deck with Soul shards and destroy them while destroying my opponents deck, then refill the deck with primes. I both love and hate this card.
Altar of Fire is a decent tech card against combo decks, but will only really see consistent play if this new "Deck Destruction Warlock" archetype is good. The support is there, the payoffs are there, but since you'll be putting yourself into fatigue rather quickly, the big question is "can you get out of fatigue to survive long enough to make the payoffs work?" The "Prime Gaming" package is still available, as is Educated Elekk, so maybe there's something there. Regardless, it looks like a fun archetype to play (although maybe not as fun to play against).
You have to draw this while destroying your whole deck and not die. This is a dead card sitting in your hand the whole time and you also die to fatigue. To many variables to be good enough.
Well, now we just need a 100 % guaranteed way to tutor out Neeru Fireblade and we're in business. Cause you sure as shit can't play any of the deck burning stuff before he's in your hand.
Not sure how viable it'll be though. I don't get this "mill yourself" archetype they're pushing for Warlock, it just seems so damaging. What if you burn Neeru Fireblade, or your other win conditions?
Oh god, I don't know. They are printing so much support for this "destroy your own deck" Warlock, but what if you burn Neeru Fireblade and he was your win condition?
Warlock will shuffle a ton of Soul shards into deck so it will destroy them
People are gonna cry about this. I don't think a burn-your-own-deck warlock plays this on 1. Wait until the imp guy is in hand, then BURN IT ALL DOWN! HAIL SATAN, or Sargenterass, whatever. BURNINATE!
Its either going to be played in miracle warlock along with Neeru Fireblade, or its going to be played simply to shit on the opponent. Either way, I'm not exactly sure why this card need to exist, since Tickatus is bad enough, but to make it a 1 mana card, like c'mon team5.
I can still defend tickatus since a setup is needed and he's a 6 mana dude that doesn't have taunt or rush. But this card is indefensible. Just play it whenever and wherever. Its not like controlock never floats mana anyway.
Handbuffing is typically weak, because you can’t afford the tempo loss for a later gain. But 2 mana isn’t that much of a loss. I think this one will actually work out.
Interesting card, might be included in several decks. In Wild, this can destroy Reno Priest after the opponent plays [Hearthstone Card (Loremaster Polkelt) Not Found]. Even without having seen Polkelt, this getting rid of 3 cards from your opponents deck is potentially game breaking to any combo deck.

Targeted Anti Big Enemy Minion Card. Worth playing

This seems pretty good with or without the new weapon will see play for sure.
