Hearthpwn

A serious question: Legitimately every deck i came up with in theorycrafting I would come down to 2 or 3 cards I need to make 30, and each time im like: Elise. She gives me a spell that can add 5 random cards, 1 guaranteed epic, to my hand. you don't have to visit Hearthpwn to see THAT Value Town (I swear no one made me tell that horrible joke i'm just awful)

So yeah just curious if anyone felt the same? This isn't so much "OMG SHES SO BROKEN I WILL PUT HER IN ALL MAH DECKS!" but like, do you agree there's no deck she would be considered "Bad" in?

Also Wild folks: How do YOU feel about Elise? You can certainly abuse her more (Hello Brann and the Echo Mage/ShadowStep Shenanigan players) but there's also a LOT of options for you all now. Deathrattle looks to be a gluttonous monster and I can't even picture the Warrior Ragnaros decks. Does Elise even HAVE a place in wild?

Definitely not in every deck... in aggro its not good.

Combo won't play it either.

Definitely not. 1 specific card is often much better than 5 random cards.

If you intend to play midrange/control shes a staple.

Well, I think Elise's role fits her LoE iteration.  She shines in control matchups, but her utility diminishes in shorter games.  For instance, I wouldn't include her in a midrange deck unless it really lacked the tools to replenish my hand.  I most certainly wouldn't play her in an aggro deck, because Elise Trailblazer slows down your deck by nature.

All things considered, I play Mill Rogue more than any other deck.  I won't find a game where I'll be able to fit 5 additional cards in my hand :)

Interesting. While I agree 5 random cards sounds underwhelming, i think the limited pool is an underrated variable. Much like discover, this card is going to make miracle plays and only grow in popularity.

While I agree that her greatest asset is mostly just chance pulls, I think that is most of the "good" hearthstone cards right now and she will have a place with them.

Definitely maybe.

it's surely a powerful card but there are decks that simply don't want her, Any deck running Hemet jungle hunter doesn't want to run elise because you can get rid of the map with Hemet, aggressive decks also don't want to play Elise and decks that can't sustain or survive until the late game *cough* Rogue*cough* also don't want to run Elise.

Elise definitely seems like a good candidate for a Randuin/Tyrando style deck.

In theory you could combine Elise the Trailblazer and Prince Malchezaar in a deck AND possibly get another Elise from Malchezaar? That would be broken (45 card deck) and could be a fun casual meme control deck / fatigue deck!

Yeah, I really like that kind of playstyle as well. Much more fun than aiming random cards from your deck at face.

Elise the Trailblazer is a much better version of Prince Malchezaar, I think. A madman might even combine both!

Old Elise is cool, love this card. New Elise is just a garbage.

That's what I figured, but would sure be fun. 

New elise is good but you cannot place it to every deck

Is it possible for Elise to pull a quest card???

all i know is she is god-tier in arena.  5 mana 5/5?  thanks.  2 mana draw 5?  yes please.  those 5 have increased legendary chances?  hnnnng. 1/14 of those legendaries will be another one of her?  *dead*

Gotta love hpwn polls where's the no option?

Good in control decks maybe in midrange. If the meta is slow enough 

It depends on the deck, for a lot of control decks i will probably include her, but for others Im just going to have to wait and see.

In arena she is almost an auto-pick
