FINALLY someone understands. Have a look at my theory craft deck :).
Why not Scarab then?
Because of Power Overwhelming, Soulfire, and Mortal Coil. I'm not sold on peddler though. We'll see.
seems ok in zooish type decks.
has to compete with many strong 2 drops for a spot tho...
Decent in a zoo type deck since you really wanna flood the board and avoid tapping as much as possible until your opponent is almost dead. Unplayable in Handlock since you never want to play a poor 2 drop when you can tap to make Mountain Giant cost less.
Expect to see this guy a lot...
Can replace Ancient Water in Handlock, who play it sometimes for silencing to contest with Early Aggro/Shadow flame. The advantage to this card is this can trade with a 2 drop and still doesn't shrink your hand too hard. For example, with coin pro handlocks tap turn 2, play something turn 3 and play Mountain Giant turn 4. This card can change that curve and might actually improve handlock curves. You can still tap to get Giant out earlier and keep this in your hand, but now this is an option against aggro. Which is really good.
The Ancient Watcher wasn't that important for the Shadowflame synergy as Handlock run 3 aoe at most, so 2 Hellfire and 1 Shadowflame.
Also instead of getting an Awkward Jaraxxus turn if you play him when you have 10 mana crystal. You can play a 1 drop with your Jaraxxus. Not that it matters much.
Novice Engineer was a really op card post nerf back when it was 2/1 and although that was because of Rogue. Discover seem like a better draw mechanic, and can actually increase the Reach of Aggro rogue as well. With flexibility and unpredictability. Really strong card overall.
This is The turn 2 play for tempo
Hmm, can see some good tempo play with this in a Zoo deck, especially as a follow-up to knife juggler. I hate Zoo wholeheartedly but might just try this card out mainly because it looks cool haha :P
This could find its place in a zoo deck I think
Pseudo draw without losing hp, might fit somewhere, but still don't think so.
it's still a 2/2 for 2 that kinda draws a card ... don't rule it out that quickly!
This is just not worth playing. If you play it on turn 2 still not that good. I was expecting something better for Warlock...
It could combo with the other new card Reliquary Seeker or Gazlowe.
Being a Warlock class card does mean you can potentially select some best 1 mana cards in the game however:
Flame Imp
Voidwalker
Power Overwhelming
Soulfire
All amazing cards in the right situation, even things like Corruption can be the right pick sometimes even if you wouldn't put it in your deck normally.
Blood Imp?
soulfire is so far from "some best" 1 mana cards it's hurt. And the reason flame imp and voidwalker is good is because you can play them on turn 1, which is not possible in this case.
