Well I hope this expansion brings fresh air to HS

Interesting card for the specialist format I think . Especially in control mirrors.

man that's insane! in control vs control you can play this when going into fatigue, potentially putting yourself ten cards ahead of your opponent.

this card may not be the most competitive card, but it does look pretty fun, and a good card if the game starts going south. but you would have to play this card ahead of time because it is a little slow.

also you could play this along side Myra's Unstable Element. 

*edit* also has some synergy with Hakkar, the Soulflayer, but that card is still too slow to see play. if only we had some cheap way to cheat it out, *cough* Oblivitron *cough*

also with Shudderwock this replaces your deck with 10 random cards, so that's something.

Looks like a really fun deck. I might try this day 1.. I'm only missing the RoS cards, and this would be a fairly cheap craft to try out. I try to save as much dust as possible in the beginning of a new expansion, until the meta settles down.. so stuff like this is exactly what I look for.

Won't be nearly as good as big priest in wild, since you don't have the same rez effects...

I am no Control player, but I do play draw-heavy decks, including various iterations of Aluneth Mage, so I will definitely craft this kind Archivist, and enjoy her flavour with books and stuff.

The effect is interesting but its cost may be too high, making any syngeric play too slow. It should have been smaller and cheaper.

You are correct. The kinds of tribes that would want to make use of those types of tokens are mostly aggressive or tempo based.. Just feels too slow. I still like the card, and its definitely a solid arena pick

Heavy Control Warrior based on going to fatigue.. This + Hakkar, the Soulflayer. Hakkar might seem like a win more card in a deck like that, but it will speed up the process, and give you a more active win condition, besides just "outlast"

This is a less consistent replacement for Dead Man's Hand

Really cool card but seems to be kind of a meme. Might be quite good in a heavy control deck though.

I mean just by stats on board, it's good (5/5 for 3). If there turns out to be token decks that focus on a tribe, like murloc or beast or totem token decks, this will almost certaintly be in it, offering two tokens to buff for one card.

I think its actually really solid, depending on the meta. A control warrior could run this, especially considering that dead man's hand is rotating out. It might also be worth throwing Hakkar, the Soulflayer into that same deck. Hakkar might not be necessary, but it would speed up your win in the late game.

Glad this is printed as Deathstalker Rexxar rotates. Having this create yet another out for hunters would have been too much.

The meme Queen has arrived.

Probably better than "replace with Legendaries" as a value effect, since the average Legendary isn't great and you could get useful spells as well, though you're also limited to just 5 choices. I think it'll be better used as a Fatigue counter if Control decks consistently last that long.

Need some synergy?! Here you go! 

Nice list there. I tried it out (for only 1 game though) last night, as I was super bored with the typical dragon package and needed a "fresh" warrior. Worked out pretty great against the luckiest shaman I ever saw :P

I changed Tinkmaster with one MCT. 

Will play a bit more with it and see how it goes.

Reminds me of old Elise except this is potentially better but also required som foresight and strategy

Imagine this in a Control - Fatigue Warrior along with with Chef Nomi. 

You play Nomi on an empty board, fill it up with 6/6 and next turn play this card and get 10 cards in your deck.

OR, play it after Hakkar, and destroy the bloods

Kinda sad it doesn't say shuffle into the deck. Then Elekk would be so good (and possibly borderline broken).

Another super optimal situation, if Elekk gets to live for 1 turn would be to have Elekk down, then next turn play Elysiana and shuffle her in with a banker. 

I think this is a great card with many possibilities.

If fatigue control decks like control warrior of old will be a thing, they'll run this simply for value. Very flashy and creative way to delay fatigue, I like it!

This will see a lot o f play im sure, in some crazy control decks that go for fatigue. I love the card and will try it for sure, maybe even craft it golden!

Haha no idea, seems kinda bad replacing your deck with kinda random cards, but good in fatuige match ups maybe, for control decks as Thijs said.

Edit:Crazy card! :) 

First thought after looking at the card: tavern brawl invades constructed ;)

Digging the art. I bet the golden version of this is gonna look incredible--shiny flames are almost always cool and that book is literally RADIATING knowledge.  That's the most awesome librarian you'll ever see right there.

not sure how good it is, tho.  Replacing your deck with discovered cards seems pretty risky, but as a late game anti-fatigue tool I can see her having a place. 8 mana 7/7 isn't exactly a tempo play but it's a big body and potentially a useful battlecry, so if fatigue match-ups are fairly common I'd expect her to be a fairly common sight too.
