The thing about the new discard lowest cards is that they all cost less than this. Which makes it kind of awkward. If you play all 4 there is a decent chance that they discard each other instead of your priestess.
I think people are overestimating this, because it seems more consistent than it will be. Still strong, but not crazy.
Occasionally gives helpful advice.
Since this card does say copies, I’m inclined to believe hand buffs work with her. If they do, I think she’s insane, since Soul Infusion and Keleseth and friends just push her to being an insane 4-drop. If she doesn’t keep hand buffs, she’s still good though, just not insane imo, mostly because she seems a little slow for most Zoo decks.
Lovely, dicard lock make sense now
Jeklik isn't the critical mass of good stuff - it's everything together.
Things that generate things have been critically underrated in HS basically every time. Things that can generate themselves doubly so.
"however isn't the only magnet for discard."
The thing about this is once she is discarded a single time, every other discard it becomes more likely that she's discarded, doubling herself. Sure, a 3/4 Taunt/Lifesteal isn't exciting (although it is probably playable in warlock without any synergy because of life tap). But free copies of a playable card is exciting. And multiple free copies is better.
I think the trap people are falling into is not being able to see the entire picture. Or they are comparing it to how the deck has played (and failed) in the past. This is understandable. But 25% of "Quest Warlock" is now significantly different. In a game where you only play 30 cards, that's a huge difference. It is not the thing it used to be.
Yeah, is pretty clear that Blizz is pushing the discard mechanic into warlock again. However, this new cards are really good and I think there is a pretty good chance that at least 2 or 3 of these cards pushes discardlock into a metadeck the same Draconid Operative did for dragon priest.
So you could just.......theoretically get a full hand of this card then? I will happily pair this with Shriek, thank you.

The problem mostly was that you did not control the card you discard but these new cards give little bit of option what you discard. But is that enough to make this meta? I hope so but we need to see all thecards first. (There are alot of buts in discard)
The discard support Discolock wanted in Frozen Throne.
3/6 Howlfiends
Get 2 of these in your hand via Shriek, then drop a Doomguard to get 2 more lol.

still a bad legendary
Even an Even Lock might use this card for the Taunt+Lifesteal.
Day 1 craft. Bern playing discardlock for a while but hasn't been working since imp went away. But this is much better than clutchmother. By copying you get more chances to hit so in the end this will make soulfire deal 4, draw a card. It will also protect your other cards and this is before it hits the field. Late game you will never run out of cards in hand. And this is without considering the quest. Drawing this will be so good in discolock and I'll be playing it til quest rotates. Then I move to wild ;)
And then you play Soulwarden to get 3 more, jesus christ, Jeklik Discard Warlock is the new Quest Rogue.

Card Design ChampionI didn't say that she MAKES the critical mass of good stuff on her own. I said that she doesn't belong to this group. And I also acknowledged the usefulness of some cards generating extra copies of themselves, which will minimize the danger of you discarding something important. I said it in the previous post. However I wanted to stress on the fact, that there is a chance that she won't be discarded, because you will run other cheap cards beside her. And since she is also a legendary, the chances of you drawing her early on are slim.
This sounds to me like a slightly different Phantom Militia: it has lifesteal and +1 Attack, but it costs 1 more and its echo isn't always there. You could argue, that having the flexibility of not being obligated to play multiple 3/4s all in one turn makes Jeklek good, but her overcosted small body doesn't make her a strong play in general. Especially when you have to do some shenanigans, in order to multiply her. She isn't threatening enough and a single board clear and voila. This is where the reward from the quest kicks in, but this is a different topic imho. We are discussing the scene, when someone plays High Priestess Jeklik as her normal 3/4 body and playing two of those for 8 mana seems a weak play. It doesn't matter if you generated extra resources - those could be answered by a single board clear.
Personally for me this card would have been really, really good, if it didn't have the legendary rarity. If we could add 2 copies of her into the deck, she would have been exceptionally strong. Her body could have been weaker, but her effect would compensate for it. I will share a video with Firebat ranting about draw RNG and Clutchmother Zavas.
The Bloodweaver Gul'dan for Diskek locks.
Unlimited resource to 3/4 taunt and heals with its lifesteal. And it actually requires skill
Excelent card, even that terrible crap 3/6 become amazing with this card.
If anything in this expansion receive a nerf will be her.
Man I crafted this card today to play in my heal zoo deck. I just replaced the lifedrinker that I had in there. She has been amazing I’m surprised I have yet to run into another person that played this card (that I know of). She has been surprisingly consistent and her lifesteal has won me several games in the first two hours of playing her. She should be in all zoo decks that run doomguard, soul fire, and soularium.
This card will strait up win games if you can isolate her with Soul Fires or Doomguards
so much refuel
So since Sunday when I crafted this card, Jeklik took me from rank five to legend. I added a small Jeklik package to my heal zoo and it made the deck so much better. I had only ever been to legend once before (June 2018 with Odd Paladin) and was impressed to see this deck shoot me to legend in four days. This deck is relatively cheap as I do not run a full discard warlock deck. It is still very much an aggro heal zoo deck, but it has a lot of late game value because of Jeklik. It was fun to play a competitive deck that I’ve never seen anyone else play. It handles hunters (all of them), priests, druids, and OTK paladin all really well. Struggles against big odd mage. I’m not posting this for any self promotion (in fact I have never made a deck on hearthpwn before this one) but this deck was just so fun I wanted to post it. So if you’re looking for a fun zoolock deck check out my link!
Jeklik is now my new favorite card!!
