Problem is in current meta difference between 2 damage and 3 is huge, most of the minions you want to remove early are 3 health minions. Well Bash saw play in warrior, maybe this will be good enough in warlock. Atleast it is good against early murlocs.
Warlock desperately needs heal. So, I think this card is playable. But I am not sure what you could kill with 2 damage. Most of early drops are 2/3's and 1/3's. The best targets for this card are obviously Enchanted Raven and Murloc Tidecaller. And for all other situations, this card is not that good. Because Mortal Coil is so much better to deal with 1 health minions.
If they would print this as a 3 mana deal 3 with Lifesteal, this card would be definitely better. A bash that cannot hit face but has better synergy with spell damage. A little bit disappointed, I must say.
I don't know. I think you obviously play tainted zealot with defile, so this may be getting some spell damage in the decks it's good in. maybe even the 0/7 trickster which is also very good with defile.
0/7 demon? I don't know man, that card is really baad. I mean really bad. Tainted Zealot is a card with potential, and might be playable with Defile and this card I agree. I didn't say this card is bad. I just said that 3 mana 3 damage would be better.
I can use the only playable Spell Damage minion in the game, Bloodmage Thalnos, to deal 1 more damage to a minion and restore 1 more health to my hero, for 1 less mana.
Now I understand why they couldn't just change Drain Life to have Lifesteal and make any different card for Warlock instead.
Really good just because it's Warlock and that card needs all the healing it can get. It's better than Earthen Ring Farseer for slow lists since it's more reactive.
Something some people dont realize is that this can add reduduncy to highlander warlock. Now you can run 2 x Drain Life effects. Same how Crackle made Lava Burst better.
Yes redundancy is good, but blizzard had the opportunity to change Drain Life, instead they used a warlock card slot that could have been used for something else, and warlocks have been struggling lately and most of their basic cards aren't used especially compared to mage.
Exactly. Like 3 mana 1/1 - your opponent discards a card. Or really anything. This card is just silly. Warlock was given such bad cards this expansion that people were calling the new 5 mana demon "insane, as good as azure drake" like a hostage allowed to see the sun.
There are plenty of interesting things, like every class got in this set, that they can print moving forward with some new cards, but that's like next expansion at best. And I don't know how long I can keep playing the last week of each expansion and the first week of each expansion and still get excited to play. There's not a lot to keep people playing. Laughable reward system, hollow ranking system, no tournament play. A game as shallow as HS can only be "fun" for so long.
Drainlife wasn't good enough, Demonfire wasn't good enough, their bastard child isn't good enough ...
lul demonfire is staple in demonlock
Because that deck sees play ...
daemon fire is actually really good it's in fact better than volcanic potion since you're more likely to not damage your own demons than having your opponent have demons. The problem is the lock class sucks in standard. In wild EVERY reno lock plays it and it's one of their best cards to get in the opening hand vs aggro. Reno lock is still very competitive in wild.
Card is bad 2 mana deal 2 damage. Life steal is just way over valued by blizzard at this point. Any good Hearthstone player knows that board control is more important than life total.

But Volcanic Potion is AoE and costs 1 extra mana.

2 damage is NOT good for 2 mana .
Might still see play because warlock does not have many good removal options .

OMG, so many stupid posts! It is not power creep, because Drain Life can damage heroes!

What drain life should be from the start.
Oh, my god, this is like Drain Life, but better!
I can use the only playable Spell Damage minion in the game, Bloodmage Thalnos, to deal 1 more damage to a minion and restore 1 more health to my hero, for 1 less mana.

Wow, I feel so dirty.
Delete Drain Life from the game now and replace with a new card.
Drain Life can hit face. Drain Soul can't.
Drain Soul heals the hero as much as it does damage with spell damage. Drain Life doesn't.
Conclusion, hitting face just cost 1 more, while the life steal spell damage synergy is just the way it was meant to be.
Really good just because it's Warlock and that card needs all the healing it can get. It's better than Earthen Ring Farseer for slow lists since it's more reactive.
something useful in warlock 2 slot
I suppose, but they reprinted as a common. If you are going to print your own money, shouldn't you make it $20 bills and not pennies?
wish Drain Life was given Lifesteal but I guess this works.
