Thing is though that the 2 minions you destroy is already something your opponent had invested mana into, the 2 cards you discard has not cost you any mana at all, so basically you are discaring a card to avoid paying the mana for something that traded with a big guy from your opponent [...]

It's pretty fair actually, so that's why it wont see much play in constructed, it's not unfair enough.

Except being card efficient is a lot more important than being mana efficient - especially in Hearthstone.

Let's say that your opponent has an Emperor Thaurissan out, would you rather use double Lightning Bolt or a single Lava Burst to clear it? The first option is mana-efficient (and gives you less overload), but the second one is card-efficient, even though it costs slightly more - and when it comes to card efficiency, it's better to have more cards - meaning you'll have more options to deal with your opponent's cards in the future - than having less cards and less options in the long run. If you play this card and discard 2 others then you have to win the game in the next few turns or you'll eventually lose because you won't have enough cards to keep up with your opponent - and that's why this card is bad.

Anyway, that's it from me. You'll be able to playtest this card in about two weeks and see for yourself if it's bad or not.

Doing that Shaman play you suggested there, Shaman which already struggle with card draw, especially if you compare it to Warlock, would of course be horrible and only save you 1 mana the turn you play this, you'd still overload for 2.

Discarding a card to save 1 mana and nothing more is of course horrendous, but discarding a card to save up to a whopping 14 mana (If both the creatures you destroy are 10 mana minions) AND gain the opportunity to immediately deal with something you otherwise might not have been able to, well that's a whole different thing now aint it? :P

Especially considering your hero power is draw a card, you can't really claim that Warlock is a class that will often lose due to 1 card disadvantage and be serious about it can you?
Well I guess you just did, but I don't believe you really thought that through before writing it^^

I'm not saying the card is good enough to see constructed play, but I'm saying it's not as bad as you might think, it's quite fair and balanced really, which is the reason you wont see it in constructed....it's too fair.

Very strong card for certain matchups.. Zoo could completly destroy Handlock with this for example but maybe to situational.

someone has a video of dark bargain animation please ?

Thanks in advance.
