Fact is, if you could do this effectively and consistently, wouldn't you rather just be playing [card]heartbreaker hedanis[/card] instead?

One of the problems with Overheal as an archetype (and strategy in general) is a serious lack of payoff cards.

I dont think its lacking …

Its a card you'll hate and hate alot to see when facing priest.

Bad enough that control priest is a pain in the arse to deal with, now youre giving them flexible healing options that heal for a ton, for very little mana.

One point of commentary. I dont think this card actually triggers overheal because the description …

At first I thought this card is overpowered.

Then I think to myself, how many times have anyone actually seen [card]heartbreaker hedanis[/card] in the past 6 months. The answer being very, very few. I personally never seen this played against me, though I have played it myself.

The problem is that its actually pretty difficult to overheal past …

I really dont know how to judge this card.

On one hand it'll more consistently give you what you need off your opponent and they will always need to be on their toes as to what they give you.

On the other hand, its cost more than [card]identity theft[/card] and its more likely to overdraw you while giving …

Its not good, in fact for 4 mana its actually gonna do less than most priest removal options. If you think about it, why indeed would you play this over [card]the light! it burns![/card], or just [card]holy smite[/card], which are cheaper and more efficient.

You can remove two minions for the price of one card, for 5 mana. You …

To me, this card is trash. But Ive stated before that you can never disrespect lifesteal, so Im forced to concede that it might actually see play.

So you create a bunch of tokens on board, and your opponent scratches their head thinking what are you gonna do with these tokens. And there isnt really an answer, because priest …

Whether intentional or not, this card is an instant pick for aggro decks like shadow priest, who already plays plenty of 1 drops.

It does have synergy with pip the potent, but its usage will be largely in tempo oriented decks. Unless there's something that takes full advantage of 0 mana cards, like copy effects etc., this card is …

Unless Im very much mistaken, the quickdraw effect allows you to steal your opponent's spells from their deck.

Either way, Im not that optimistic about this card's chances because the better card already exist in the form of [card]identity theft[/card], which although does not steal cards, allows you to pick two cards of your opponent's hand/deck. In the grand …

Unless youre very specifically going against an OTK deck or a big deck this card is completely worthless.

I dont think it'll ever see actual inclusion into decks but really out of discovers is the only chance it has. There's just no reason whatsoever to play this card over the many other cards available. It neither wins games nor …

I dont know how to assess this card because its certainly a powerful reloader and I always feel cards that copy specific cards in your hand must be respected because it'll always end up becoming some sort of OTK at some point. The fact that [card]funnel cake[/card] is in priest as well means there's always a chance.

But at …

I kinda forgot about [card]prison of yogg-saron[/card] because that card hasnt been seen again ever since [card]yogg-saron, unleashed[/card] was introduced. Ironically its because prison of yogg is superceded in its usage by yogg himself.

Now, with the nerfs, Im even less optimistic about new yogg's chances because Id just play prison of yogg instead. 9 mana mind-control or board …

I dont play much wild admitably. But I feel you can easily tech [card]skulking geist[/card] and/or [card]archivist elysiana[/card] for that, aside from just killing them faster which is entirely possible in wild. But more to the point, its never a good thing to play a card that will have only one good matchup. You cant even just play it for …

Guess the funding for team5 must have been severely stretched, because these harken us back to the brode days when nerfs more or less remove cards from the game.

Because the nerf to jailer, yogg and tony is about as unimaginative as it can get. Jailer now gains immune as opposed to giving it out, not even a stat …

I think the main problem here is beyond simple explanations like monetization, staleness, both of which are valid points. But the main issue to me is simply burnout. There's just no reason why I would want to play twist more than I would standard or wild. Certainly not both, unless youre a particularly obsessive player of hearthstone. Many times I'd …

Its actually a well design card to be fair.

There's nothing specifically wrong about it. You get a removal option when this dies, and this is a mere 1 drop, which can be plunked down on 1, always a good thing.

Will it see play outside of highlander, well that's a bit harder to judge. Id say that …

This card will easily see play because its effect is persistent until triggered, and getting one extra spell is always good (except plagues, bombs etc.)

Its easier to list down decks that wouldn't at least consider this a card for inclusion, because its viability is near universal. The only point of contention being that this card is weak on …

Its a decent card that'll replace itself with a useful taunt. But its real usefulness is in receiving dragons so its instantly a good card to consider in a dragon deck.

But its so vanilla, doing very little. You cant even play that taunt in the same turn just to fill your mana cost because for some reason this …

Its a long shot, but its very likely the one trump card you need in an elemental midrange deck.

Such a shame that there's so many elementals you'll likely never get the ones you want but for a chance at getting something like [card]kalimos, primal lord[/card], or something along that vein, its worth playing this card anyway. Its not …

Tempowise, this card is excellent. You get two minions for the price of 3 mana, and both are likely to be pretty decent stats.

However, consistency is the main buggering thing. 3 mana cards aren't exactly very common, and if you miss out on the conditions, this card is just a brick in hand. In fact, its viability is …

It looks great, practically [card]plot twist[/card] on a stick.

But the question of course remains. Why'd you want a plot twist on a stick to begin with?

Plot twist itself was never played until the quest made it mandatory. In a way, we can already see what the win rate of this card would be, its going to …
