Used this card today and pulled an Emperor Cobra and Acolyte of Pain. A few turns later I used my second card and pulled an Emperor Cobra and Acolyte of Pain. He had already played 1 cobra before the first Thoughtsteal, so I know it was a dupe. The acolyte I can only assume was the same.

Thoughsteal- I have never played this card

This funny thing happened yesterday againt a frost mage. He was delaying the game because he didn't get alextraza to finish me off. And I manage to thoughtsteal his Alex TWICE. So when he finally played it, I holy fire'd it and then he later conceded before going to fatigue.

That being said, I personnaly think that random is random.

It could be explained by people running a lot of legendaries (because good value) and people mulliganing them because they cost too much for an opening hand. 

But hey, maybe Blizzard rigged the RNG to help the poor priests out there, i don't know.

If you want to see people rage over something that's their own fault, just use Mindgames against a Ramp Druid or Control Warrior.

I've mained Priest ever since I started playing the game, and I've never seemed to get Legendaries more than any other cards. I mean, it's nice when I do 'cause I don't own any (except Murk-Eye), but it doesn't happen that often. You're just luckier than me :C

I've pulled Ragnaros the Firelord, Ysera, Leeroy Jenkins, etc just as often as I have Shield Slam, Deadly Poison, Starving Buzzard, etc.

i dont think this needs explanation

I've run some RNG priests. It's really funny to beat a opponent with he's own legendary. Especially when you use a Mind games. A Ragnaros on turn 4! 

But RNG IS what it is... Random.

Check out Noxios Randuin Priest deck. Or at least some of his plays on YouTube. Good for a laugh or two.

And one more thing... The later you use Thoughtsteal  or any of those stealing / copie cards... The more change you get to copie a awsome card... The cards he already used, wont be in his deck. Thus you won't copie that card anymore.

Just to put some math behind it lets assume you cast 2 thoughsteals (priest games tend to last quite long so it's a fair assumption). Your opponent has 3 legendaries in his deck and decides to mulligan them away if they come up (very few exceptions). 

The chance of you pulling AT LEAST one legendary are  1-(24*23*22*21)/(27*26*25*24) =~ 39,5%

So your 50/50 numbers aren't that far. This is of course assuming you get both thoughsteals off and if the numbers hold up on a larger test sample it might indicate people are using more than 3 legendaries on average in their deck.

The amazing thing about thoughtsteal is the fact,that it practically extends your card pool from 30 cards to 32 (or more in a mirror match). You get alot more value against control matchups,but it rarely gets no value at all *looks at 4x deadly poison*
