My first impression is, I kind of hate it. Hand disruption has never been a big thing in hearthstone and I liked that about it.
But also it's not as insane as you might think. I mean if you're against control, they're jamming their cheap cards against your cheap cards. you spend 4 mana to play this, they send all their expensive cards back into their deck and draw 4 new ones, possibly a better hand and they get the first turn full of mana crystals to spend on them. In fact, it promotes them to just jam all their stuff and put you in a situation where if you refill, you refill for them to. only residentsleeper decks like priest have a lot of cards in hand that they don't want to draw back
think about modern demon hunter games. how often are you playing a game against demon hunter where you have a lot of cards in your hand and want to keep it that way, and you're not getting slaughtered?
it's super hard to evaluate this. but at the end of the day it's a Jeeves like refill for low curve aggro demon hunter so it's going to see play I think.
Easily the most controversial card of the set so far. This works as a combo delayer since it will force them to reshuffle their hand in the midgame after they played a bunch of their early card draw. It's actually an instant combo deck killer now that i think about it. Combo decks are already at a disadvantage against aggro decks. Forcing them to reshuffle will not only screw their draws and combo but it will most likely deprive them of their defensive cards as well. And against Control decks this is simply cancerous. Control decks like to slowly draw and hoard cards in hand. This will cripple them so much in the midgame as well... Aggro DH is going to overtake the meta solely because of this card. I'm 100% sure of it. And i'm not happy in the slightest. This might just be enough to completely kill my interest in playing constructed until this is fixed. Simply disgusting.
you can dupe this guy while giving it +2/+2, you can have it swarm the board with the basic totems.. for vessina as said.. or you can also dupe it with totem splitter..
seems like a fun card tbh.. kind of expensive and slow but it can be fun to play with.
A total tech card. But this can certainly disrupt control decks really hard, especially Priest and Warlock decks as they rely on being able to control their hand... and this card just resets their hard work at manipulating that.
The caveat to that is obvious, you go against Face Hunter and you're resetting their hand of hate for you.
The only real question I have is in situations when someone had triggered cards like Dragonqueen Alexstrasza or Galakrond, the Nightmare, will those card remain a cost of (1), or will it get reset? I would imagine that it would have the same effect as [Hearthstone Card (Shirvallah, the Tiger) Not Found] as those cards directly state that they will change the cost of the card to (1). Guess we will find out.

Seems insanely good for me, nice reload for aggro, while being a way to really ruin the opponent's day (maybe) if they have a big hand.. or maybe you just made them draw an answer to your board.
Card draw is supposed to be one of DH strengths, the downside is that he has no card generation and has to rely on it,so you can (in theory) run him out of resources
Oh my god this is going to be so fucking annoying! Why did they print this???
With the amount of card draw DH has, giving them the ability to put their opponent's cards back into their deck is just fucking insane. This card alone can win you a game by ruining your opponent's game plan.

Very hard card to evaluate, DH doesn't really need more card draw right now, but it's such a cool disruption tool.

Disrupt control decks? You'll never see control decks ever again.

Perhaps this with

I can't see how this card fits into a current DH deck, but I do love the shenanigans you can impose on your opponent's hand.

Conditional draw that often shrinks your opponent's hand significantly? It's waaaay more than good enough.
