    At first glance i thought - meh - a meme card.

    But now i think this could be pretty strong. Saw some games with it at the Pre-Event and it looked pretty decent. Just random demons would be meme but the +2/+2 makes it strong.

    Fun memes, that might actually win a game once in a while.

    There are a lot of Imps in Standard right now, so I'm not really sold on its viability in getting bigger/cool stuff. It could be ANY Demon, though, and the Demon Hunter has a number of great Demons. Maybe you run this as a one-of in case you need the fuel.

    That's a fair point but there's not a lot of collectible imps in standard when this is available, they'll mostly be tokens.

    there's like, Flame Imp, Blood Imp,  Jumbo imp and Imprisoned scrap imp that will be collectible.

    The other demons this will be able to generate should be mid to high value, even more so because of the +2/+2

    Renounce Darkness for cowards. In truth, this is probably better than it looks thanks to that +2/+2 buff. However, random demons might be a lot worse when this card comes out thanks to a whole bunch of neutral chaff demons.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    I have a deck just for this card. Really think that 1/1 imps from Impbalming with plot twist can make some sick plays and of course with some huge draw and hand generating with cards like Jar Dealer, Infested Goblin etc.

    Even you don't like my deck, Just use Infested Goblin in your decks with Shadow Council. I guess it worths it.

    I think it's quite balanced given the rng and the buff. I guess stats is never to be underestimated.

    'Why is everybody in Outland replacing their hands?!' Yeah, there is a hand card, and the legendary paladin minion also lost one!

    But probably good as a last resort in arena?

    Can this generate the DH demons aswell? It should, shouldnt it. Some of those cards are pretty strong Even without +2/+2.

    But again, a lot of the classic warlock demons just plain sucks, aaand im not sure +2/+2 helps them. Guess its a gamble you could take if everything else goes wrong, but wouldnt it be better to just have good cards in the deck in general?

    Maybe you can build up a huge hand and make some big demons and have some fun, but it doesnt sound that viable.

    Well clearly this could do something AWESOME or TERRIBLE. Most of the time I guess it will be somewhere in between. You'll want to have a good size hand, though, to strive for max value.

    I mean, random cards are random cards. There isn't much to say about this, it is just bad. If nothing else this is a more playable meme card than something like Transmogrifier or Wyrmrest Purifier.

    I guess it could seem play, but with demons a good chunk of them have some detrimental effect on their battlecry, so there’s no avoiding that with this card, unlike with Galakrond

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    Seems quite random, but can be good in late game if your hand isn't the best.

    Obviously the drawback is getting rid of your good cards (plus rng ofc), but you get +2/+2 buffed demons which is very powerful.  I expect it to see at least some amount of play.

    This is more than a meme. A more controlled [Hearthstone Card (Arch-villian Rafaam) Not Found] for the late game when your hand is too weak. Demons are often strong and the buff is really good
