      (2/3) We initially tried some designs that were specifically anti-spell tech, but that didn’t make for a compelling deck archetype, all too often feeling too reliant on what your opponent is doing.

        (3/3) We had one clever design package that didn’t quite work out, but we are saving for another time. Instead, we went with softer synergies here, going for good cards that could slot into a wider variety of decks.

      @Celestalon "Discard" seems rough and this will be a game of keeping cards in your hand/playing sunwell. I feel like shuffling into your deck is better? A strange example would be if rogue resummoned this and tripled it with the Shaman spell out you'd instantly lose your hand.

        @RandyTreibel We previously had it give the discarded spells back when it died, but it was just so much weaker.

          @Celestalon Will single target silence ever be great again? The fact that it no longer exists outside of some druid builds feelsbad.

      @Celestalon I'm wondering if you considered the spell steal as in taking buffs that they did way back when. I have no clue if it'd be good or even possible. Just my only real reference besides there very cool looking armour

        @caibythesea Aye, thought of that, but it's even more incredibly niche. We explored that gameplay once before, back in Darkmoon, and put it in Priest.
