Alright so the most obvious comparison is Lakkari Sacrifice which had the very annoying downside of having to play the Portal after completion and the imps being summoned at the end of the turn, making them very slow.
This fixes both of those by being summoned alongside a 5/5 while also essentially giving you imps with charge (since they'll just be resummoned at the end of the opponent's turn if killed)
Essentially this is a ticking clock that will constantly push the opponent off the board and punch him in the face. Basically a juiced up version of Jaraxxus if you will
The downside obviously is fatigue damage + the fact that it will take a while to get there. Not to mention that you have to find this before you start yeeting your deck.
Personally I don't like this kind of card because it's just a control killer and nothing else. All you need to do is burn through your deck while the opponent watches helplessly because they can't actually burn you down.
However, it does seem like they are no longer actively pushing pure removal control decks anymore and instead shift towards actual win conditions so perhaps those will keep the deck in check.
If not, then I'm just going to make peace with the fact that Warlock will be the only relevant control deck for the next two years
Not sure if its worth it to destroy your deck to have 3/2 imps. You will take fatigue damage every turn for 3/2 minions? They will be destroyed by zone attack or bigger minion that will trade and you'll die by fatigue. I'd rather two 8/8 than this.
first discard cards in hand ,now discard your deck ,future discard your hero .
This card can be played in a control deck and be your trump card for the late game.A deck that makes you mill yourself fast to get the effect i dont know.
To bad Archivist Elysiana .Maybe we get some new card/s that can put /shuffle card in your deck after you play this.
I kind of like this risk high reward card and i can't wait to try it.
New Priest Minion - Priest of An'she
If priest will be able to play for tempo, this may be great.
New Priest Minion - Priest of An'she
Great synergy with Xyrella
New Druid Spell - Mark of the Spikeshell
+2/+2 and draw a card. This is as good as it gets for 2 mana.
New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame
Shadow spells are just the worst
New Mage Spell - Flurry (Rank 1)
Its real value is that it costs 0 mana... other than that it is not too exciting. A shame Doomsayer is rotating.
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade
It would be good in standard if archivist elysiana was still a thing. In wild it's not worth the effort, better go for Mecha'thun
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Blacksmith
Token Druid
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
I wonder what the effects are
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade

New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade
This card is insane and the deck burning cards will be played. Polkelt to guarantee you don't burn this and win.
New Neutral Minion - Peon
Too slow, too boring
If it gave a 3 cost spell, that would be great
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
I miss old school Kazakus.
This is the same but with minions and a much lighter condition.
This will be an auto craft for me, even if just for the nostalgia.
New Priest Spell - Condemn (Rank 1)
Priest just has too much removal, it doesn't seem to get any other cards
New Priest Spell - Condemn (Rank 1)
Ehh.... you will want to generate that in the mid- to lategame but I cannot imagine using a deckslot for this....
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
Zoo warlock
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
People keep bringing up Ragnaros' Heropower but I wonder if that will actually work considering it is an untargetable heropower...
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade

New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
Considering how often you want to make sure deathrattles go off before they get silenced or transformed.... this seems like a good card to play.
New Druid Minion - Guff Runetotem
Great card too bad it doesn't buff itself
New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend
Boardclear for control decks if they only face aggro. It still won't feel great playing it I feel....
New Druid Minion - Guff Runetotem
Has some potential but now sure how good this will be.
I think this works best with big taunts.
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade
If Octopus card which draws 8 was in standard, this deck could have seen play.
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade
Good reward for depleting your deck and the method has some actual support. Looks interesting to experiment with!
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade
Whoops, you are right. Makes it a bit better, but my other points still stand.
