At least CheeseEtc will get an inspiration for his Chef class.
Hell yes, I couldn't believe it when I saw the card. he would have fit perfectly both flavor-wise AND mechanically! I did make cards for an empty-deck archetype. I wanted to include Nomi but used other characters instead.
Problem : no aggro decks play myras at turn 5 They will play myra only after their hand becomes empty or when they don't have any fuel to finish their opponent. Thus comes myra's, and it's likely to draw chef nomi in the process, bringing the win condition the aggro decks lack at the moment. Its so much stronger than bringing leeroy that can be easily killed. At this stage, the opponent won't have enough removals to deal with chef nomi. Myra's was strong in odd rogue by bringing the final push through leeroy or some 3 or 5 drops. Here Myra's can bring 40 mana of cards with only one card thanks to Nomi. Broken.

This card by itself justified the nerfing of Genn and Baku; even blowing up Cold Blood wouldn't stop Odd Rogue with Myra's and Chef Nomi from being top tier, since the setup for Nomi is perfectly synergistic with Myra's. In Wild Odd Rogue might supplant Kingsbane as the go to aggro deck again...not sure that's a good thing honestly.

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
Someone had mentioned pairing this with Unstable Element, which is a neat idea but I dont think a pile of stats at the extreme tail end of the game is really worth it.
Alana didnt really do much, and this is roughly comparable on effect.
There are gonna be way more uses for this other than just Myra + Chef. Plus you’ll need a 3 card combo, two of which there is only one copy, it’s gonna happen pretty rarely that you have these at a good time. I’m not saying it won’t be fun or legit, just hold your horses.
I think this card will shine in Wild. Maybe another Miracle Mill Druid companion?
And if you're going to keep this in your hand until you have no cards in your deck is your end game win condition then you might prefer to use Hakkar, Mechathun or Toggwaggle instead.
Maybe it can be a thing in tempo rogue. a board of 6/6s isnt easy for most classes to remove with the cards that will currently be in standard. Maybe with a shadowstep you can threaten to end the game against slower decks that might not have enough clears.
However, it probably relies way too much on drawing and playing Myras. Aggro decks can't stop a board of 6/6s but it's also hard to give that much tempo up and not die to them. Control and combo decks may be able to deal with the board of 6/6s, so it won't be too easy to set up either way.
I can see this working in wild format with Frost Lich Jaina decks, particularly Big Spell Mage and Odd Mage.
A preferably second act to Dragoncaller Alanna, as her and the dragons won't heal you but Nomi's elementals will.
And considering the freakout over elementals opponents have, it's unlikely you'll run into someone with a fourth big clear, let alone third.
The question is does BSM/Odd Mage survive in wild, as it generally is home to OTK/combo decks or those that can crank out an all-star list of big stuff, rather than aggro decks the duo is used to negating on the standard ladder, and both have difficulty with deathrattles -- if N'Zoth gets popular again, eek.
If your deck already goes to fatigue and often just needs one more big threat to win, then this card is an auto include. But how often is this the case? I think it's hard to say without knowing what decks will generally end up looking like this expansion, but this card has some potential for sure.
for those who says "Play mechathun instead", mechathun requires an entirely different gameplan, you need to gather combo pieces, you need to throw your hand, this card can be played with Myra's Unstable Element, and following it with Academic Espionage, without the need to include combo pieces nor throw your hand.
Here's a pretty neat card to us Seance on.

Sadly the card likely isn't viable :(

People keep saying this is irrelevant with Mechathun, but there's two key differences:
1) It's FASTER because your hand and board don't have to be empty
2) It doesn't require that you keep any combo pieces in your hand

It is a powerful card just draw your entire deck play this and then DMH

Feel like Dragoncaller Alanna or Boommaster Flark + Feign Death does it better.
And if you're going to keep this in your hand until you have no cards in your deck is your end game win condition then you might prefer to use Hakkar, Mechathun or Toggwaggle instead.
Not sure if hyped yet.
instant gold craft

Bad, since it can never get popular, because then people will just play more aggro/ midrange.
This card is such a meme.

It is worth mentioning- a lot of this aggro stuff and stuff that makes giant freaking boards is going away after rotation.
I'm not saying it's going to go away so much to accommodate Nomi, but I AM saying it's a reason I have my eye on Mecha'thun Warrior, so...
Kill rogue before turn 10. Quest accepted.
I'm not dead yet!

Myra's on 5 turn.
Chef Nomi on 6 turn with shadowstep.
Academic Espionage on 7 with prep. Play again Nomi on same turn if board is cleared.
Looks like a dream scenario but I will try it and BM also everyone that said is garbage :D (just kidding)
