Has some potential but now sure how good this will be.

I think this works best with big taunts.

If Octopus card which draws 8 was in standard, this deck could have seen play.

Good reward for depleting your deck and the method has some actual support. Looks interesting to experiment with!

Whoops, you are right. Makes it a bit better, but my other points still stand.

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.

HAHHAHAHAHHAHHA... HAHAHHAA.. IT'S THE Lakkari Sacrifice QUEST REWARD (Nether Portal) on a battlecry! With as a condition that your out of cards! hahahaha. The WORST quest reward from Journy to Ungoro is back hahahhahaha. It's so unfortunate that Archivist Elysiana isn't in the core set, otherwise you could have played her after Neeru Fireblade.

The worst Ungoro quest: Lakkari Sacrifice hardly ever saw play, because it didn't synergize that well with discardlock. Mainly because Discardlock is an aggro deck, that doesn't want to waste 1 card in mulligan. Neeru Fireblade however needs you to draw your entire deck. We do see some synergy with it in this set, and Tickatus uncorrupted can help destroy 5 of your cards. Control MIGHT slot it in as an alternate wincondition, because playing Neeru Fireblade after/before Lord Jaraxxus can help you turn your control deck into an aggro deck real quick. But still untill then it's basicly just sitting in your hand, useless untill you run out of cards.

BUT there still are a number of problems with Neeru Fireblade. 1st of all: It's just Nether Portals effect, summon 2 3/2 imps isn't that good when your in fatigue. 2nd reason: you need to have Neeru Fireblade in your hand, otherise you risk milling it with Tickatus, Soul Rend and other stuff. Reminder: Deck of Chaos has the exact same problem of "you don't draw it until late into the game". To me it seems like a deck build around Neeru Fireblade will have trouble with removal and recources, because they will burn most of their own cards.

I don't think a Neeru Fireblade focussed deck will work that well unless it gets a lot more support. But hey it might be a bad, but really fun to play deck though. And honestly i feel like some more kinda bad but at the same time REALLY fun decks is what HS kinda needs right now.

OH and in WILD it will see 0 play, because there already is a WAY better card that likes fatigue: Mecha'thun. Why summon imps and slowly kill your opponent when you can OTK your opponent while watching that beautiful animation?

Edit: Oh it fills your entire board each turn, well still it's hard to trigger. So i still think it wouldn't be that good, the only thing i changed my mind on is giving it 2 stars instead of 1, just because it fills your board. 

If Soul Rend sees play, it will be due to this card.

Soul Rend into this is the best scenario. Opponent needs to deal with the board from their hand.

My brain is too small to think of a deck for this card

If only Archivist Elysiana stayed in standard.

Quote From Erodos

This card is incredibly trash. Let's start with the stats: 5 mana 5/5 is not worth playing without the effect. So let's look at the effect: you have to have an empty deck. There are two ways to do it: either you destroy your deck yourself, or you draw through it like a madman. With the first option, not only do you destroy valuable resources, there's a very high chance that you'll discard Neeru Fireblade. With the second options, it means that you have to run a ton of cheap cards and draw to get through your deck quickly. That requires a very synergistic deck (think current Zoo with getting a bunch of Hand of Gul'dans), for which drawing a 5 mana 5/5 can be disastrous.

Let's say we manage to do it: Our entire deck is gone, we still have some resources in our hand (even though there is probably still some card draw in there) and we managed to not burn Neeru. We play it and... get some imps. Our opponent removes them, and builds a board themselves. We use our resources to remove their board, take some fatigue damage, repeat. We start running out of resources, fatigue damage builds up, and it turns out that our opponent's cards are better than 6/4 worth of stats every turn. Our imps can't trade into their big boys, we don't have resources to remove them, we die.

Just play Lord Jaraxxus.

A board filled with imps is a 21/14 worth stats, not 6/4. That portal isn't the same as Nether Portal.

There's Soul Rend. Not the quickest way, but it gets you there. There's also Blood Shard Bristleback that synergises with discarding your deck, but I'm not sure about that one.

I smell the "summon 200* Imps from a portal" achievement.

As it seems that there are no ways to draw your empty deck win conditions reliably, this won't work. It's a really fun concept though.

They use their resources to deal with the imps, our fatigue damage keeps building up, we die.

Just play Lord Jaraxxus.

hm, could be fun

mwah for now, will definitely try out a outpost deck somehow

interesting, will be fun to try out a outpost deck but not sure yet in which decktype / class this would fit.

expensive, no rush.... too difficult to set off the frenzy without beint killed AND having  board?

has potential but emptying your deck + creating tempo + staying alive hmm we will see

perhaps good in libram paladin

freeze mage is back

probably broken

perhaps someone will find a nice deck for it, but im not seeing it yet

Sadly the albatross has left us, making it impossible to play around this.
