Strong for the mana and how comparatively easy it is to complete.

Very nice in a renolock.

I have missed the good old hand-lock archetype in standard. These new reveals might help it make a come back.

does anyone know if hand size means # in hand or total possible in hand??

I'm almost certain it means the # of cards in hand after playing the summoner. If they meant max hand size they'd add the word "maximum" like with the new WL legendary. Not to mention a guaranteed 10/10 taunt for 6 mana seems busted AF.

I am not sure, but I think this card will summon an 11/11 demon with 12 cards in hand....if that is the case this will be good

I dunno, a 3/9 with taunt, a 3/3 and a random 1 drop, ~21 stats for you and ~ 6 stats for your opponent for 7 mana seems pretty good in my book.

jesus christ. never thought they'd go this far. will handlock be a thing?? hype

shudderwock cries in wild... hard counter to animation shaman :((

Will this summon an 11/11 demon if played with 12 cards in hand?  Am i understanding that right?

No, but you have the right idea. Hint: Infernal doesn’t really say anything, focus on other hints

So, it was meant to be powerful and live forever, with infernal implying demonic power. However, it turned out to be weak and not good enough, but may be better at some point in the future. 

Maybe Lord Jaraxxus?

Got the gold about 5 mins ago, not the packs just yet

 

Same here, maybe when the new quest enters we also receive the packs.

2x nether breath, zilliax and 2x khartut defender might be enough tho. Ziliax is a very good card and  khartut defender is also a decent inclusion that already sees alot of play.

Auto include in any control warlock deck for the remainder of Hearthstone history. Renolock smiles upon this card. 

I think that the synergy will be excellent with Bloodreaver Gul'dan.  If you create a few large demons and just bring them back again... that could spell a major pain.

When this set goes live N'Zoth and Buddies rotate out, don't they?

Yeah he rotates. This is just a present meta example of what this card is capable of. With Togwaggle's Scheme existing, this card can be devastating to certain win conditions.

This just made me sooooo incredibly happy

a month later.....

It will destroy all copies on both player's board, hand, deck, collection, in every region, and it will effect all hearthstone players everywhere, it will also go to blizzard headquarters and destroy the cards files, then it will erase the card from everyone's memory, and it will also delete all games where that specific card was played.

Yeah, I may be being a bit unfair to Abyssal Summoner here - there are ways to fill your hand with generated cards like lackeys. I'm just not convinced that at 6 mana she'll be consistent enough to see much play. Handlock tends to be controlling, and there are lots of control cards at 6 mana that I think make the cut first.

If this means you summon a minion at the end of the turn you played it it's just insane but I assume it's not working like that. Hopefully it works with not taking damage on your turn. Otherwise it's pretty meh

Skorpionex, that's a misreading of Valdris Felgorge. He impacts your "maximum hand size," whereas Abyssal Summoner's battlecry is impacted by "hand size," much the way that "hand size" in Astromancer's text uses number of cards in hand to determine the cost of the summoned minion.
