During the reveal, I thought it was an easy 400 dust... But there are a lot of card that can be nuts with it... If you can get lucky enough to draw it reasonably fast, and have the luxury of playing without dying, then it could be good

People seem to be panicking quite a bit because of this card in Odd Paladin but that deck is super fast and it has another way to give dudes Divine Shield: Steward of Darkshire. This card might be able to create some midrange variants of the deck that use some of the slower synergy cards (like Vinecleaver) but it probably won't make any difference for the current fast versions of the archetype because 5 mana is too slow for those.

This card could bring dudes back into relevance in standard but i think we need at least one more dude generator to make the deck more consistent. If we get just one more then the deck could be quite scary. Otherwise, it might not have enough gas to sustain its token shenanigans.

Reminds me off Luna's Pocket Galaxy.

It's a joke......

Downvote me all you want but you know I'm right. Its assassinate, but tweaked slightly to go with the "new" shuffle style rogue is getting. And in the comments it's the same old argument of "but is it better than sap tho" Its uninteresting and bland and it doesnt encourage any new thinking or way to play the game. It's just another form of removal for rogue to randomly discover and shit on you in game with.

Despite it's cost, I am 100% sure control decks would love this. Changing the cost and attack is very good on many cards warlock has.

It might not be as strong as Pocket Galaxy, but as a walock user, I would be happy to decrease cost of the cards I draw for future comeback.

And there are so many high cost minions with low attack, so the trademark is not that big issue if you can go through it after using the spell. 

Sure, it is clunky to use it, but we have seen Clunky turns for Mage with Pocket Galaxy and they still are be able to win due to drawing "1 mana" minions. I Believe it is the same thing for warlocks just with various costs instead.

If you can survive a turn after using this spell, you could be in a very strong position.

Good luck consistently getting holy wrath in a warlock deck

Since the worst case scenario is a fair card by most classes standards, I think you'd still use this if you have a significant amount of shuffling going on. If Libram Pally continues to be a thing, you'd want to keep Saps too, but that deck has more than enough big stuff to destroy if you are playing a slow game.

The real question will be how it compares to Coerce. Maybe a reliable 3 mana cost is good enough, or maybe having it cost 0 to make that Shek'zara turn 6 much less slow is important.

What the heck, this card is insane. What warlock cards all have much higher cost than effect? Lord Jaraxxus? Archwitch Willow? Voidlord? Of course, who could forget the potential of a 4-cost Malygos?

No jaraxxus lol he is still gonna be trash and you spend 6mana doing nothing.

Malygos for wild mechathun will be easier and faster and more reliable.

voidlord /dreadlord uh we got voidcaller and skull already

ALSO 6mana do NOTHING to board AT ALL.

and standard warlock lakcs big demons for willow.

Interesting, in a C'thun deck (the new one that is) I assume this card starts as a 1 mana Assassinate. 

but its 1 mana (:

Play this with The Darkness in your deck. Play polkelt. Play holy wrath. 

Its bland, but definitely strong. Most of the time this will be 2 mana or cheaper, but the real question is whether Sap is simply the better card here, especially given that the condition, while not necessarily hard to accomplish, is still a relevant obstacle for a removal card.

Could we also consider Deck of Chaos an old set callback, as it's the original concept for The Soularium?

big ol meme card.

it's like Lady in White but worse with no body.  just a first impression, i'll think about it more but it seems like a meme.

Soo Malygos. You can play Maly-2x Breath and 1-2 Soulfires dependant on discard. Or just 1 RoF 1 SF. Okay this card will not make Jaraxxus great it will make Malygos a thing again again.. again... Reminds me of pocket galaxy.

I think a large part of the issue is that the Paladin class is just so narrow as a starting point, and we're seeing the same thing with Demon Hunter too. I don't blame the HS team for going beyond Warcraft Pally lore for the sake of making the class a little less same-y, but it does irk me when there are sensible choices for legendaries but they instead choose ones that aren't even on Azeroth.

Its basically Luna's Pocket Galaxy in warlock and back in standard. Unlike that card though, this one don't just straight up win you the game, and you've have to have a really mean way to getting back tempo, since warlock can't stall with freezes and the cards are cheap, but not broken cheap.

Definitely a built around card for any midrange warlock and above, but with warlock still having trouble getting cheap taunts out on the cheap in standard, I wouldn't hold my breath that this one becomes tier 1 anytime soon, especially since we're definitely sure dhunters would likely be on top.

Really fun effect! I just wish there was a reliable way to tutor this card. I feel like Lorekeeper won't be that effective at fetching this due to all the high cost cards this deck would probably be running.

Speaking of which...would you need to play Polkeit before you play this? Or does he arrange by OG mana cost?

Very uninteresting card. That mostly everyone saw coming.

Ou yeah, 3 mana Lord Jaraxxus incoming.

It fits with tons of minions.

Void Drinker,  Enhanced Dreadlord, Batterhead, Zzeraku the Warped , Ysera...

And any egg will be OP, 0 mana 5/3 Chromatic Egg...

If warlock can survive playing a card that "do nothing" at turn 6, that card will be OP.
