Not sure why people are comparing this card with Sprint to try to make it look good. Had it not been a Rogue card, Sprint would have been horrible to begin with. Rogue is desperate for draw and combo's sprint with prep. Warlock has plethora of draw for way cheaper

Not saying this card is awful, just that saying "Sprint with a 4/4 body" doesn't make this look impressive.

Yeah, 7 mana draw 4 is the same as Sprint, as others have mentioned. So the fact that it has a body already makes it a VERY good card. Add increased hand size, and cards that care about hand size .... Handlock is definitely coming back in a big way.

This is way too similar to Vilespine Slayer to not see play. Vilespine was an absolute staple card in almost every rogue deck. This card is very good and it will definitely see play. Unconditional removal attached to a body is far too good to not be played; this WILL be played. Probably a lot.

Could have at least put the old Adventures for sale :( Sure I don't need them and many long-term players don't as well, but still.

This does seem like it would be rather simple to complete, and a 2-mana 3/6 taunt is pretty good. Thumbs up!

I'm not 100% sure how it works with the Reborn, but I like the idea of HS introducing an exile mechanic (MTG players know the power of exile).

Kinda reminds me of Elven Minstrel.

Better Stats and stronger effect, but a more specific use. 

It will be interesting to how this affect actually affects the game. As people are discussing, if this effect interacts with the graveyard, then Resurrect Priest will be in for a shock. And if this card affects your own cards, the ditto will be quite interesting in standard and wild.

Question - Does "hand size" = "cards in hand"?

Both new cards are using same wording - "hand size" and Valdris one means "total number of cards u can fit in hand". 

Mountain Giant, Twilight Drake and similar cards have different wording.

So that means it always summons 10/10 (sometimes 12/12) for 6 mana. 

Valdris Felgorge refers to 'maximum hand size', so no, I doubt this would always summon a 10/10 or a 12/12. Not only would that make the wording inconsistent, it'd be fairly insane in terms of power level to get a guaranteed 10/10 taunt for 6 mana.

I don't think we've seen a card refer to "stats" in the game before either. They might be changing formatting standards or they might not care about the older formatting standards.

Phantom Freebooter from Frozen Throne refers to "stats".

I have been keeping an eye on this card the whole day... I am still not sure how it will go... I think I will have to try it in game and see myself. Good for big priest but not sure about other decks

Sleeper of the set if Galakrond decks are good

Good auto-taunt if you have an on-board threat, or great with time out

Gravelsnout Knight - Hungry Ettin - Muck Hunter - Hungry Dragon

These cards that summon small minions for your opponent while you get an overstated minion have never worked out all too well except for maybe Cornered Sentry. The only difference that I see with this card is the fact that it summons 3 minions.

You could try to use it with Mind Control Tech to try to steal a specific minion (with a small succes rate...) and other minions that benefit from your opponent having lots of minions like Mogu Fleshshaper and Sea Giant.

Or you can use this to counter resurrection priest. if resurrection priest becomes a top meta deck, this card could end up being a nice tech card.

Definite auto-include in any non-zoo warlock deck. Can't wait to see the memes.

It’s like Possessed Lackey, but less randomness and it’s a battlecry.

And Lackey was good enough to warrant a nerf.  So... I like it!!!

Even with 6 cards in hand, 5 after playing this, doesn’t seem too bad.  Better obviously with bigger hand sizes.

Finally I can take revenge on all these Druids playing Sathrovarr!

Also, nice Video!

Yeah.

Thats because I miss him so bad and I refuse to forget those goodtimes

Visit here to pre-register, and hope that you are allowed into the closed beta when it opens sometime in Q1 2020. It's that or wait for the open beta, sometime later in the year.

Some of us sadly didn't make it into the preview patches, and are stuck waiting :(

Torn on this one.

On one "hand" drawing 4 while also increasing Handsize in a class that likes to draw a lot is pretty strong. This makes both Plot twist and the Quest a lot better.

On the other hand, this is a 7-mana 4/4 that does nothing the turn it's played, meaning you'll usually have to set up a Doomsayer turn to play this and even then it's a pretty weak play by itself.

Although we finally get to play 1-mana Mountain Giants.

The real question is whether this works in combination with a dragon package, because otherwise I don't see Controllock working out.

Would pre-nerf Ancient of Lore still be an auto-include? Yes obviously because of Ossirian Tear, but even standalone it's still a good effect. Creating card advantage while putting any body on the field is a great ability. The extra hand space is just icing.

It's also worth noting that it is a Common, so it's a safe craft for Budget-Decks if you need a good stand-alone Card.

I completely agree with you on Valdris Felgorge. Despite what people seem to believe, I don't think this card will be useful for HandLock. As someone who played nothing else for almost a year I can safely say that card draw isn't an issue for the archetype, and the handsize thing is negletable imo. I do however think this card is useful in something like Quest Malygos Warlock, potentially opening an OTK (Soulfire and Nether Breath), since the cards drawn cost 0 after quest completion. Just hoping for some more good Dragons for the class and the deck seems viable :)

Glad you liked it.

Regarding your question - this particular list cost me 1600 dust in the past. This is because the only card I was missing back then was the one and only [Hearthstone Card (Madame Lazule) Not Found]. The other thieving legendaries and epics were acquired throughout the expansions. My earliest attempt in building a defined Thief Priest deck was back in Un'goro and it was inspired by Le Dawg's Toy Stealer.

Well it's a Sprint with a free 4/4 included, so I'd say it's pretty good.

This will most likely see play, it's good as long as you have 5+cards.
