Its decent removal option for aggro boards. Lest we forget that playing around Reno and dyanomatic was practically everywhere in standard once.
Unfortunately, it will only be decent in either a plot twist deck or handlock, and once you start putting your own minions on board this quickly becomes garbage. Kinda sad as I was really looking forward to seeing whether warlock gets any more decent board removal option to really make handlock viable again.
This being an epic card doesn't help much either for experimentation.

Do you think this works with Gadgetzan Auctioneer? So if you have 5 cards in hand and use this when Auctioneer is on board you draw 5 cards? I don't think it works like that :/
Seems a bit OP to always have it target enemy minions. Just time it wisely to get the same effect.
But yeah it is a good card for handlock. I play a lot of secret mage in wild and I know for sure I am going to hate this card playing against me on turn 3.

No, you don't get to have any cards:
Step 1: Play wild.
Step 2: Play Howlfiend.
Step 3: Play Treachery on the Howlfiend.
Step 4: Play Dark Skies with as many cards in hand as possible.
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit.
Almost Hydra otk:

Now we only need a way to make warlocks spells lifesteal.
why do most epics have to suck so much.
Handlock's volcano?
maximum is 11 damage. (EDIT: it's 12)
nope its 13 since it is repeat and auctioneer helps

i think it should have been only to enemy minions
