It is bad against aggro, because for them it either makes their hand bigger and gives them fuel, or it is not outcasted and then it is 4 mana draw 2 at best, because you need two other cards in hand for it to be not outcasted...
this card will be annoying, but fortunately won't see any play in tempo...I don't think
Tempo DH can easily, EASILY empty their hand to play this before turn 5. It's not a tech card. It's not something you think about playing with an effect that could inconvenience you. it's 4 mana draw four, screw over your opponent.
Probably won’t see it too much in Wild because it is even costed at 4. But if a non-Odd DH gets traction this plus an Augmented Elekk can disrupt opponents by not only shuffling cards back into their deck, but should also give them copies and turn off Reno effects. It then also gives the DH copies of what it shuffled in, making for a pseudo card generation tool when used with Elekk. I’d be interested to see a type of control or disruption variant of DH come around in Wild. But again... it’s not odd, and Odd DH is still pretty strong without Warglaives. And it’s likely just way too slow for Wild anyway. So my dream is likely just a meme!
Obvious insane power of this card aside, I think we should consider how consistently will this card be really effective considering it costs 4 and disruption only happens on outcast. Sorry, I haven't really played standard after the nerfs but I got the feeling that the class has been slowed considerably.
Tempo demon hunter can empty their hand before turn 5 for this card EASILY. It's not a tech card. It's not something you think about using. It's draw 4, fuck you opponent.
Part of me wishes this had 1/7 stats (with a lower cost of course) so that it would have the combined stats of all 4 basic totems. Kinda like a Splitting Festeroot except it breaks into Totems instead.
4 mana draw 4 that disrupts your opponents hand in an aggrocentric class. BULL.SHIT.
remember guys hunter and rogue couldn't have good card draw for YEARS, because they were the aggrocentric classes. And now one of the most cancerous aggro classes in the game gets 4 mana draw 4 that disrupts their entire opponent's hand. You're a mage and you were saving that blizzard or flamestrike to use against the DH opponent? Woops they ran out of cards on turn 5 because they've been tempo-ing you out all game and now they play this and you don't have ANY AOE AT ALL in your hand to deal with them anymore.
People in discussion thinking this card isn't batshit busted lmao. People be like....."i don't know if it'll even be played" XD
God bliz really hates people like me that enjoy playing control man. Control warlock tapping so dark skies actually does damage and then DH plays this card and you go from eight cards in hand down to four. and you still have to deal with their endless spam of bullshit minions. Dark skies does 4 damage now it's literally unplayable and you did 8-10 damage to yourself for them. That's right, i don't know if people missed that bit, but it's not magical mallet, it's not plot twist. Your opponent draws back to four cards. I don't know if you've ever played this game called hearthstone before. But i have, and i have played games where i have needed to draw, to get an AOE against a tempo opponent when i had no chance and YOU ALWAYS WHIFF THE DRAW. That's why mulliganning is so important. But this fucks that right off. Who cares about anything anymore. Who cares if the game is fun to play against. They're playing DH.

Full disclosure, and an apology - I clearly underestimated how polarizing Demon Hunter has been as a class. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this card was: a Wild match where you could shuffle your opponents completed mage quest reward into their deck - something like that. Seemed like a good outcome in that limited context.
Demon Hunters usually have quite big hands, definitely more than 4 cards, so I'm struggling to see the value in this as a draw tool. Perhaps to find combo pieces?
As a combo-wrecker, however, this is fantastic, and interesting. It could make big hands smaller, or just change up what might have been a key small hand. I never expected something like this to be printed though, and I worry it'll be abused in some way.
Now, seems that the Warlock/Priest cards effects are more easy to activate on Warlock than Priest, or maybe Priests will receive self damage tools (Masochistic ones). This is a potential free summon a 8/8 on turns 5+
I was actually thinking of odd shaman. It’s had a few very powerful tools, but not enough for a great deck. This definitely helps with the swarm bit a lo
There's a lot of space for this in Wild. Maybe a combo with Windshear Stormcaller is finally possible? I'm also really sad that Tuskarr Totemic was ever nerfed. Can you imagine this popping out on turn 3?
In standard, Totems have received support in the form of buffs that this could capitalise on. However, I think Shaman needs a little more than a 4/5 that makes a few bad 1-cost minions to push it into S/A-tier.
A card draw that is best in aggro and can potentially screw with control deck? Yikes. Plot Twist WL hard counter, pls finish my quest for me, why dont you?:)

The funny thing is:
That the card is already broken without reading the Outcast effect. I mean, Draw 4 for (4) is busted as hell. (Divine Favor RIP)
The Outcast side-effect is a joke. I dont want to belive that they printed this for DH, it isnt fair at all.

There is no way that this card is not getting nerfed in the first wave.
It's beyond broken. It should not even have been made.

This is not about card draw. This is a refill, Draw 4 for (4), seriously?
Plus if you topdeck it, it disrupt your opponents hand and strategy.

i have 2 things to say:
1- this is one of the most absurd and filhty cards ever made;
2- save your copies for the day 2 nerf guys.

Well, at least there will be some dark details of the real Scholomance in this goofy expansion.

It could be a utility card when you have Pit Commander in play but most of your big demons in hand.
But also just nice if you’re low on cards. If you’re top decking and your opponent has an almost full hand this is nuts!

divine favour on steroids. it must be a DH card then
