Overload is a part of any spell it has. So there will be overload.
I doubt it will see play since it can backfire badly on you. A misplaced buff or fireball can give more value to the opponent than a Doomsayer popped from a Shredder. That might be enough to tip the game on their favor.
ow that shredder is falling out of standard, can we just change that card to have a 50-50% chance of popping doomsayer? I have been burned by this more than once but the tears do give way to a chuckle after I have a chance to accept my insta-loss.
I mean...are there reall that many bad outcomes?
The worst thing is probably something like mark of the wild/nature on an enemy minion or fireball your board.
Not saying that it's playable in constructed, but it's certainly a fun card and not just a suicide card
I see people that like Randiun Wrynn (like this) and mages can try to do their Jaina Randuimore.
Astral Communion Kreygasm.
I will try i out it will do good RNG in 1 of 10 plays I will stop play this card.
Trump, who revealed the card, claims it will do not-harmful to good RNG 60% of the time (good 30%)
Blizz card design process
The spell you get from conjurer is not cast instantly. The card you draw from Drake still costs mana. The difference is huge. I'm not saying this card is great, I am saying those are not good cards to compare it to for anything other than mana spot.
In a tempo race this has potential to be better than either of those two, we will have to see how it works out on average and if it ends up as a positive spell something like 55-60% of the time, then it will see play.
You can't cast traps for your opponent so your odds are not 50-50. Trump broke down the odds about 4 minutes into his video. If you think he's wrong, check out all spells that are 5 mana or less yourself and count the ones that are worth the gamble and the ones that aren't. I feel it's closer to 60-40 or 70-30 considering there are a lot of spells that you can't cast for your enemy.
the compare is fair take a conjurer and a theoretical conjurer that casts the first spell given randomly, would you rather have that spell in your hand, or free with a 50% chance that it worked for your opponent?
I would prefer my dust instead of servant, please.
Mage: Sht this zoolock is killing me and I got no cards! Servant of yogg-saron : DOOM!
Me: Yes!
It works the same way Yogg works, the spell is cast by the card, no player (a new mechanic in the engine). Just how Yoggs spells dont count towards playing him the second time, this card wont "buff" him either.
I don't think this will see any play. Why would someone play this instead of Azure drake or Ethereal Arcanist

Awesome summary, I'd love to see someone with a few more brain cells than me do some theory-crafting on what an "average" result of this guy and Yogg-Saron, Hope's End would be as well as the chance of either an insta-kill.
You forgot Call of the Wild
Well they sent it to trump because they knew he would analyze it, and he did a chart on the effect based on Board/ no board.
