I honestly dont see how people are hating on this design. Cult Master requires you to have a boardstate before you drop him where as this guy is the inverse of cult master in that he requires no board state to drop. If you do have board control then dropping him in means you can use him to trade up potentially. Personally I think its a good design in that its got enough power to be relivant in trading and does not die to hero powers. When you look at 3 drops and 2 drops most of the ones that see play are minions with 3 power and 2-4 toughness so this falls in nice where he trades with most minions that cost less than him still but he can also trade up with his high power.
I think he is being sold short. He might not be the next format defining card but I think he is better than the comments I am seeing.
Agreed
He has 2 life, so he won't die for free to a single hero power. With 4 attacks he will usually trade 1 for 1. So I see this card as an interesting option for those, like me, who accept to trade tempo for card advantage.
He can be strong in some non-warlock/non-hunter aggro decks that fear to run out of steam/cards. Or in combo decks that want to draw faster without concedign a free board.
Sorry, but he is simply a worse version of Cult Master. She's a 4/2 too and can steamroll far better than him. Yes, you get guaranteed a card, but that's not enough at 4 mana. He might even get silenced.
Terrible card, no reason to play it over gnomish inventor, or even over the original loot hoarder. Should, at the very least, be a 4/3 to be playable. With only 2 health dies to way too many things, and the tempo loss isn't compensated by a card.
If they would double the card draw aswell this card would be a bit broken for cycle decks though.. but there's little reason to play this card over any other 4 drop.. Gnomish Inventor is better
Well, that's a perfectly wasted card. I understand the idea behind "learning curve for new players", which should be the reason of this cards existance, but this is just stupid. Mogor's Champion level of stupid.

In Arena this card is really strong.

K now we just need madder scientist Kappa
Gnomish Inventor and this have serve different purpose, guys.
Inventer literally has 2 attack.
Can't say that it's terrible. It's just a normal, regular card. Why are there so many hate comments?
You guys don't get it!
This card has incredible synergy with Baron Rivendare!
Oh wait...
Actually it should draw 2 cards, all numbers a doubled except this one.

Everyone will say it will see no play, but this card is in fact really good. Except to see it in a lot of decks.

If it was a 4/3, it would be decent. As a 4/2, it's even bad in Arena, not just constructed. I think it's probably around Ice Rager power level.

Anoher comparison is to azure drake. The drake is 5 mana 4/4 with card draw battlecry and +1 spell damage. Much mich better than this 4 mana card IMO.

It´s neither outstanding nor terrible. It will see play definitely, but won´t be a staple.
Slight nerf to Museum Curator.
My question is, does this replace Loot Horder in Standard, or run alongside him?

it will be fine in deathrattle decks. We are losing so many deathrattles in standard that stuff like this might make sense
