Thoughtsteal powercreep, will literally steal cards with new legendary
I think people is not seeing the big picture here... you are not only getting cards, you are getting "inteligence".. you will be able to see 3 cards from your opponent's hand and predict next moves...
I remember it, it's better in thief archetype (meme) or maybe some controllish (quest doesn't need it though, but situationally it may be useful here, especially in mirrors). On Meati's stream reviewers gave it marks from 1 (bad) to 2 (playable), btw.
It is a discover effect, being able to choose the cards you get is huge. Thoughtsteal saw plenty of play when it was 2 mana (just because it was super cheap card generation). This is arguably better than that.
don't you remember Thoughtsteal? This is exactly that but better!
It's like 3 mana draw 2, if I understood correctly (with discover instead of draw and opponent's cards instead of yours). So, relatively slow and situational, as usual for a priest.
Discovering the two cards is such an insane advantage over simply drawing them.
Next time you play solitaire instead of having to play the third card off the top, "discover" one of the next three cards to play and see how it effects your win rate.
So you get two cards? Thoughtstealpowercrept into oblivion I guess.
Thoughtsteal was 2 mana when it was relevant. So it's not strictly power creep.
Does this mean you get 2 cards (one from hand and one from deck) or does it mean you discover 1 card but it can come from both hand and deck? If it's the former it might be OK - if it's the latter its rubbish!
I believe it's one from their hand and one from their deck since of the "and". Also since it's Discover you have options so it's a lot more flexible than something like Thoughtsteal or Mind Vision
Finally some hand copying! I'm seeing a Control Priest deck coming together.
Fun card!
