I mean its neat but I don't think this with kingsbane will be as consistent and easy to pull off as one might think. I could be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if it's less insane than one would expect.
Creative ability. It's not too great if you have to play it, and then pop it, but it at least it's always an option you can use. Discarding it though is obviously quite nice.
You can really see what an impact discolock finally has in wild when after making "draw 3 cards" (~4.5 mana) in the previous expansion, they make "summon two 2/1" (~1.5 mana).
It only looks weak because it looks boring for a Legendary, which I fully admit it is.
If I look at it as a 4 mana 4/2 Stealth with "Deathrattle: Deal 4 damage to a random enemy", it doesn't seem so bad. The 4/2 might even survive if it targets face.
It isn't the strongest card in the good, but it's just "good", and sometimes that's enough. So, maybe it might see play. If anything else, I'm excited to see some Stealth Rogue support.
I like this card for pushing Discardlock, an archetype I always want to see more of. If you can discard it early enough, it'll be a solid 2-drop. However, the longer the game goes on, the less value this card has. The value of this card really depends on whether or not we see more support for Discard mechanics.
I agree that this is not good in Wild Discolock, a deck I grinded over 200 wins with during the last 2 months. It's decent enough if you manage to discard it, but if it gets stuck in your hand, it's a dead card. A problem that doesn't occur with Silverware Golem and Fist of Jaraxxus.
I really admire the creativity of this card, and I haven't quite seen an effect like this anywhere before.
The effect is pretty neat, and has pretty cool utility for both classes. Perhaps both classes might get decent weapon buffs in this set? That would just make it all the better.
This card definitely has potential, but I don't think it reaches it knowing what we know so far. Serpent Egg give a better stat spread on hatching and there arent actually that many cards that will hit this from discard since many of the run effects target the most expensive card, which will almost never be this. Warlock also doesn't currently have much in the way of making use of more bodies since Grim Rally rotated, but I remain optimistic in the Warlock reveals to come.
I'm sorry, I thought it would be clear enough that I was referring to the (IMHO) underwhelming effect, rather than the character depicted.
Thanks for this unnecessary explanation, tho.
EDIT:
Also, I don't think that you are going to see her attack in the opponent's turn very often, since it has Stealth; I think that her gameplay will be similar to Restless Mummy, just less reliable since doesn't have Rush and the second attack is random.
Super duper easy to activate in both classes for little to no investment. Warlock likes hero powering anyway and priest has more than enough tools outside of their hero power to use this. It also pushes both tempo and control in both classes, which I am a huge fan of.
I think this is a pretty decent card and is not dissimilar to Restless Mummy, but with more rogue flair to it. Feels weird seeing an effect this tame on a legendary though after Rattlegore was revealed.
People are thinking about using this to summon really high cost minions but I don't think thats what its made/going to be good for. Seems like a strong tempo on curve type of play. If face rogue that uses weapons is a thing, this is a strong card.
Just curving after a Hooked Scimitar is strong. 4/4 + a random 4 drop is good tempo, and four drops have some good highrolls. Even if it's just a deadly poison on your hero power dagger, 4/4 + a random 3 drop is reasonable.
For warrior it kind of depends what new weapon they get. Not many decent attack weapons for warrior right now, most of them are played for their effects. I suppose its not bad if you curve after a war axe (ideally after you played Imprisoned Gan'arg on 1) but that definitely isn't a reason to play the card.
It would definitely need some early weapon support for both classes but we're obviously still super early in the set.
I like this card. Although I am still salty about DH's running all of AoO meta, I like seeing DH pushed towards a more control-y direction. It even supports the swarm DH that never took off.
As it currently stands I don't see this card being too relevant in standard. Weapons don't get that much attack right now in either class and while not much is needed for a good play, the investment and unreliability make it too clunky to run over more consistent cards.
Crushing Walls came in way too late and Rolling Fireball as well, and it wasnt always clear where it would go. This is a 3 mana card that can kill enemy 1 and 2 turn play at the same time. Big difference.
This has potential. Discard aggro in wild is pretty strong. Not sure if this gets played there. Maybe this is better than the 3/3 but i'm not sure. If we get some good aggressive disco cards in standard i'd love to see that be a deck.
it's going to be in standard with the rushing 5/5 and hand of guldan, which, especially hand of guldan, is the card that makes disco lock viable.
Pretty meh but will see its time in the sun sooner or later. It rounds out to be two slow shadow bolts for 4 mana which isn’t so awful really. Would have liked it if the summon had stealth too in case it hits face.

For both classes, the requirement can easily be fulfilled with your Hero Power.
Strong removal option for both classes. This will be good, no doubt about it.

I play a fair bit of disco lock in wild, and don't think it's good in that deck.
Given that I think that and can't rate cards properly, that probably means it's really good.
Seems good for zoo though, which also means it probably isn't.
