Excuse me if I'm wrong, but it's been confirmed somewhere that it's 10 mana, right? If so, I expect the battlecry to be something extremely powerful like "summon every minion you discarded this game," and the hero power to summon a random minion you discarded. It makes sense flavor-wise, and it seems like something they'd do (they always push an archetype until it works, and currently discard does NOT work). I still don't think this would make much of an impact on the discard archetype though, considering Warlock can't even make it to turn 10. There's still a rare and a common however, and as far-fetched as it may be, maybe one of those will bring the whole deck together.
technically the battlecry as summon every minion you discarded is pretty balance really not OP.
Well, yes, I agree. At turn 10 that battlecry is honestly weaker than a lot of things they could print, but at 6 or 8 it would probably be absurd (1 card generating a near-full board, possibly with charge minions like Doomguard). I just meant that because it's 10 mana, they can make the battlecry pretty ridiculous, we'll just have to see what it is.
This is what i've come up with so far from all the suggestions.
I've found it to be pretty good, anyone else?
I know that none of the DKs so far have any synergy with their quests but this is just for fun until the final live stream starts.
I think it's good too, but the more I look at cards like this I can't help but focus on the giant "10" in the corner. If it really is gonna be 10 mana, it better be a hell of a card.. maybe with some survivability worked in? I really hope one of the two remaining cards is a powerful lifesteal or taunt minion, that would be incredible.

The problem with that battlecry is that since the hero power doesn't do the discarding, you will most often have problem getting benefit from it like "Lakarri felhound" doesn't discard anything since you don't have any card in hand.
Hero power is also pretty slow depending on the current discard card right now. Warlock need a whole expansion around it to work out...
Omg why can't people understand a simple freaking things, if you make a 10 mana hero discard related, it won't see any play, because it's freaking 10 mana card, It will be discarded most of the time during the game. I hope atleast Blizzard understand such a simple thing.
His battlecry will disable the opponent's concede button. Now he is defenseless and forced to taste your full wrath when you crush him. But, like a little moustache dude once said: Just wait till I get to 10 mana.

Guys, what if the Warlock DK hero power is a passive one that reads "Add any card you discarded this turn back into your hand", that might save discard warlock. But it would be kinda OP since it removes some of the danger of discarding, but you would lose that card for the rest of your turn, and your opponent would see what cards you have in your hand. So that might balance it back out
How about 10 mana, Battlecry: Summon all discarded minions. And the hero power is return a discarded minion to your hand.

I would say that any kind of discard related DK would be really frustrating considering the fact that the discard mechanic is reaching the point of being flat out retarded. They need to move on to a more Demon related flavor in line with the new 5 mana 4/5.

You know shit's bad when you miss Midrange Shaman.
It will not be related with discard mechanic. It will be a demon synergy card, I presume.

It will be a lifesteal related hero. Druid heroes battlecry really relates to Malfurion in the comics, he is surrounded with spiders and scarabs. Rexxar in comics stiches beasts together. And Gul'Dan in the comics is life draining vampire.
battle-cry - re-summon any minion that die on your turn
hero power - steal the text of a friendly minion and add it to your hero ( hero text is replaced each time you use it) could also see this getting used to get rid of negative effect off your cards as it will silence the minion.
this would help make sense of all the kill your own minion cards they have been releasing this expansion and would work with the hero vampire theme as well.
with the hero power you would not be able to gain stealth or you would not be able to gain stats with a card like Gruul as that say gain stats heroes don't have stats nor any that say give this minion as you are not a minion.
cards that i see working with this card not including the one's you mite just want to silence are -
anyway just a idea i had which i thought would fit the warlock theme and would work with all the new cards coming out for warlock, let me know what you guys think.

It will be something with Dreadlord/Vampiric abilities for sure.
Hence there will be some self-healing involved, possibly lifesteal, but not necessarily.
If it is truly a (10) mana, i also expect a big turning point with battlecry and/or passive hero power.

I doubt he will go along with discard.

Battlecry: Discard hero. Hero power: Passive, Replace end turn button with concede button.

for the hero power

anyway just a idea i had which i thought would fit the warlock theme and would work with all the new cards coming out for warlock, let me know what you guys think.
Something like that maybe ?
There are 2 options (IN MY OPINION) to bring warlock to meta :
1.Change "discard" keyword to targetable or sth else,
2. Really good DK e.g. special effect when you discard it
Yes. It is lifesteal and a really strong hero.
Already built a demon handlock list. Will post the list as soon as heartpwn updates the deck builder.
