My knee jerk reaction about this is that it is going to be nerf'd hard once they see how easily it will be to manipulate their deck. Being a Legendary means that it will be less likely to happen sooner than later, however it's not like the game has a history of being able to manipulate draws or anything...
I think the better explanation than the other reply about Spectral Sight is that Demon Hunters are unique in being the only class whose interrupt skill feeds their resource generation. In groups, it's theoretically prudent to "leave interrupts" to your DH since it benefits them in a way that it doesn't anyone else.
So yes, breaking up their opponent's play is kind of on brand.
I have to agree. I don’t usually say things like “this breaks the game”, but this card seriously might.
Paladin’sHoly Wrath is now a TRIVIAL OTK in Wild, and an easy 10 damage in Standard. The Galakrond Rogue nerf means nothing now that you can guarantee all your best cards are discounted.
Basically means that you HAVE to build your deck in such a way that this won't automatically lose you the game because you no longr have acccess to your cheap utility cards.
Secret Passage is very cool. I wonder how it works with cards drawn and generated. Whether they are kept or shuffled back is vital information for a class with lots of both.
Not so sure to be honest. This makes it so your deck has a fixed order, which, depending on what is still in your deck, can be a huge downside.
Imagine you're playing Warlock and play this because "eheheh, time to play only big stuff and abuse my Quest hero power"...and then you need healing and that second Nether Breath is all the way down and you can't get to it in time.
If this sees play it will be in a very specific type of deck...and I have no idea what kind of deck that would even be.
They also lose plenty of tempo by playing a pretty worthless, easy to deal with minion on turn 4, which is a very important turn for anyone, but especially DH after it got more and more power plays moved to turn 6, which means they somehow have to maintain the board, and playing a 4 mana 4/3 doesn't come close to doing it, so they will make a sacrifice. I get it, if you have Blizzard in hand and they get it (about 50% maybe? You're probably going to have 6 cards in hand by turn 4 as mage, unless you have minions on the board which means you're aready at a better spot) they might get you that way, especially if you're highlander. I don't know if I'd run that as DH when against only control deck I have a 50% chance or less (against say, Quest warlock) to hit something really meaningful that would justify the tempo loss. against any non-control deck, this is even worse.
With the support that Blizzard has been putting on the Rush ability, I can see this quickly being abused. Restless Mummy is probably the most abusive card in the meta with this... which if you think about it, if this dropped and survived T3, on T4, you'd have 2 Restless Mummys taking out whatever front line you created.
Amazing card aside this has been the most interesting and hilarious card reveal so far! Thank you Avalon for speaking to soon and providing immense amounts of joy
Just bases solely on what is available in the current meta, the only use I can see this is with Jepetto Joybuzz at best. The cost is way over done for the battlecry. This feels like filler which kills me because I love Warlock
It also guarantees drawing Mecha'thun so it can be dragged out with Dirty Rat. But of course it all depends on the players drawing the correct cards in time.
That underlined portion is like 50% to 80% of winning any TCG/CCG

but you don't need to play around Lazul because Lazul doesn't set you back. And playing around it by having RNGesus take the wheel is a joke anyways

Two New Scholomance Cards Revealed - Secret Passage (Rogue) & Wandmaker
Secret Passage. Kind of like an Evocation for rogue.
Gives stealth aggro (which is getting a couple of nice cards) a bit of fuel to throw down 2-3 minions on turn 7-8. ok.
New Neutral Minion - Wandmaker
Cobalt Smolkin
I like this a lot, it's way faster than Spellkin and goes into a lot more decks (Spell Mage, Quest Shaman, potentially even Demon Hunter)
New Rogue Spell - Secret Passage
That card will be a headache. Tempo Rogue can search lethals with that card.
New Rogue Spell - Secret Passage
so basically that one 0-mana spell from the Uldum Dungeon Run.
NOt bad at all, great for finding outs, answers or just generally filling your curve if need be.

Hearthstone's New Kel'Thuzad Card Back Had Some Fascinating Concepts
I like the middle top row one best, but I'm ok with the one that we got.

Someone at blizzard has been on r/customhearthstone while making this set. And i love it
New Rogue Spell - Secret Passage
Seems like a really fun card, if you exhausted your hand you get to draw 5 more and look at answers.
Reminds me of Myra's Unstable Element though.. about the lethal finding.
What happens if you cast this spell twice?
New Neutral Minion - Lorekeeper Polkelt
way to gimmicky in my opinion.

Secret tunnel!
New Demon Hunter Minion - Magehunter
It should work as Earth Shock.
If silences after the minion attacks, the card powerlevel downs a lot.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Magehunter
Silence is always good, this time with a body and direct damage. But DH alreadyhave other tools, this would be more important for other classes.
