Yes, sure. Why not make Warlock outright IMMUNE to early boards entirely? It's not like they are completely unbeatable in a value battle no matter what you do, on top of ALSO having 15+ damage OTK potential with Doomguards. No, truly Warlock is a beat upon class that has suffered greatly, and they NEED all these anti-aggro cards. Fuck every other class, by the way. They can be the victims of the decks desperately trying to counter Warlock with aggro, because they're not Warlock, and that means they're garbage that don't deserve to be viable. Is this what we're doing now Blizzard? You kill Freeze Mage so the natural counter to control Warlocks can't appear, then you make a deck that was already impossible for control to beat impossible for aggro and midrange to beat as well? This is it then, guys. I guarantee you that for the next two months until a nerf wave comes, this is ALL you will hear when queuing in ladder or casual:
Stupidly good. This will definitely see play in Warlock decks both zoo and control.
Seriously did Warlock really need another low cost board effect card? You can literally echo the shit out of your opponent's board and gain another turn with this.
Worst design then Ice Block since the opponent cant do jack shit and here people thought they were done with the entire uninteractive playstyle.
Blizzard's bias gets out of hand and they really need to stop this bullshit.
This is quite strong. It's better than pint size potion because it's until your next turn! Against an agroladin with full board, that's almost a free turn!
This lasts until your next turn. So it's a "Fog" effect by itself as well as a board clear combo piece. It erases your opponent's next attack unless they have charge/rush/buffs. This is frost nova for Warlock.
And vs aggro you don't even need the echo part because -2 to all their dudes is likely enough of a reduction to combo it with doomsayer. Warlock gets Nova + Doomsayer. :o
What's the point of this card? This has no synergy with warlock cards and you can just run Hellfire, Defile, Twisting Nether or Lord Goffrey to just "kill" enemies. This feels like a mid-range warlock card, where you have a strong early board presence, and make better trades, but even for that it's probably too slow. Sure it lasts your enemies turn as well, so you can maybe protect a card or receive less damage, but even in those cases a good taunt is probably better.
This is actually really good in a control warlock. Stalls for a turn into twisting nether, gains you some life arly on. If its core in the deck, we might see Mossy Horror . Void Ripper would be cool but its a demon so rip
Taking a close look at this card makes me think of Frost Nova instead of Pint-Size Potion. It looks most useful for control decks as a way to buy time, or to combine with Doomsayer or Void Ripper.
Your opponent could somewhat counter this by buffing their minions' attack, but effects that do that are rare enough that this card should usually keep you completely safe for a turn.
Insanely strong, this is nuts in control. You make the trades, their minions can't attack, very efficient to combo with defile (you make the best the life adjustment to minions after EVERY cast), can save you from lethal in midgame buying a turn.
Vs aggro its basically 4 mana, free trades + frost nova. Going to be super strong. What a lot of people missing is, it is not until the end of your turn like pint sized potion. Its working during enemy turn too.
Heavily disables any opponent going wide (tokens or full board spam). Also with many cards being rush vs charge you can reduce the damage to your face way easier. Useless against spell heavy decks or even win conditions though.

This card buys you a turn agains almost any board and lets you wait for your next 1-2 draws or 1 more mana to cast a crucial AoE. Very strong.

Or allow a zoo to trade without injuring minions.
this + Doomsayer can get rid of a whole board. Not sure if it would replace Defile, this is clearly better against Control than Defile though

kinda like fog from magic in some ways. great potential way to regain tempo or delay fatality for a turn
RIP Board :D

I will crush you!
Nice way to lower cost of your arcane giants so you can fill the board with them with the new lock legendary.

Warlock could make the most annoying 60 card deck in history right now.
More expensive Frost NOva
Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP

I mean, warlock already has so many good removals I don't think this would make a cut anywhere but we'll see.
Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
Watch the next hero catd be warlock just cause

I really wish they would start making good warlock cards. Its been too long since warlock was a playable class...
Said no one ever.
