My personal experience after the 10th-ish game of putting this card in my handlock is that roughly 7 of those games (ofc depending on mulligan and whether I am first or second) I tap on turn 3, fill my hand and put an 8/6 on the board. Quite good for me, since it dropped from a pack, but I honestly don't think I'd craft it otherwise.

and i know what free legendary i will be getting this pack.

Battlecry: Steal ALL stats from enemy minions. Gain  Taunt and lose attack possibility.

Well her we go....the worst Legendary of the Set, Ladies and Gents.

Wow this is BAAAAAD, I didn't expect a worst Mountain Giant at legendary in 2021. This is a legit downgrade vs a 2014 epic.

10 cards in hand : 1 mana 8/6 vs 3 mana 8/8 ... I'm not even sure which is the best since 6 health is so much easier to kill with 2 early game sources of damage. 8-8 is not super easy to kill on turn 4, 8-6 is way easier to deal with.

9-8-7 cards in hand : not even close, MG is always stronger for less mana.

6 cards in hand or less, both are trash vanilla minions.

1-2 cards, fine you can't play MG, but if you have 1-2 cards in handlock you're fked anyway.

At least give it some keywords like Shirvallah.

I actually kinda like this card! Seems like they're pushing Handlock more and more, and while this is useless before your hand's full, it is amazing at sustaining pressure!

This looks super mediocre and really boring.

Is this a legendary? LOL An obvious legendary filler...

What's going on with this, Blizzard? Legendary cards are progressively being devalued and increasingly insubstantial. They are less... legendary!

My proposal for fixing this "legendary":

So I did the math for an average warlock player. In the average case scenario were you don't play anything and just wait for this card to activate it would take until turn four for both the person who went first and the one who went second (with life tapping every available turn and holding on to your coin). best case scenario like getting back fire and he could be played turn 3 by the player with the coin or turn four with the player who goes first. The question with this card is if its worth it to hold onto playing anything in order to play a 8/6 on turn four.

I would think he would act like a warlock strong-man, being played after some removal to keep tempo, this card won't see play in aggro.

pretty much powercreeped by Dark Alley Pact. Either you play a card that's only good if you have a full hand for 8/6 stats, or you play a card that's good if your hand is full enough and summons a 9/9 at maximum.

If you're going for Handlock, with Valdris Felgorge, there's no way you'd run Anetheron over Dark Alley Pact

Thinking about it, playing Anetheron and dark alley pact on the same turn early on would probably win games

Anetheron costs 1. Dark alley pact costs 4.

Easy to tutor at exactly the right moment (or fill your hand if you've already drawn it), but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

Kurtrus has been making all that fuss over THIS guy?

Let's see if they make some interaction between them.

By the way, could see play on Even Warlock on Wild. If it's not enough a turn 3 8/8, could be a turn 3 8/6
