I don't know how anybody can see this as anything but meta-defining. It isn't great alone, but it's presence in the meta shuts down singleton decks, particularly in open decklist tournaments, and so it will distort the deck composition around it.
You just dont get it right?
Imagine this card in Quest Paladin , you copy it and you play against a Highlander (or actually against any other deck, you kinda deny them 4 draws.) Imagine the giggles! imagine the rage !!!!!!!!
Now tell me again this is not meta-mindblowing-defining.

Err... you did not seem to understand/read correctly what jsager99 has written.
I am not native English speaking, but I understand that jsager99 means/writes meta defining (maybe in complicated way saying "anything but meta defining"). Correct me if I am wrong

You are exactly right. My original comment was simply to say that this card doesn't define a new meta deck, but it is undeniably meta-defining because it reduces the meta viability of other decks that otherwise would be much more powerful.

Why are highlander decks being punished? Is the deck building restriction not payment enough for the three good cards you get to put in them? Bomb Warrior could have always risen up if highlander decks ever became a real problem.
Are we gonna see a card that resets all the Invoke charges? Or is a silly bird gonna neuter the linchpin plays in my deck as I sit back and watch lackey after lackey be generated, and/or Galakrond consistency with his new tutor buddy?
It's neat tech against highlander decks and it's got value for cost, but the three mana slot is very competitive in general. This getting played outside of decks designed around it really depends on how dangerous highlander decks end up being.
Don't worry. This card may not actually be very dangerous for those decks. Most of them have lots of draw, so pulling out one of the duplicates won't be as hard as you might think.

After alexstrazsa reveal giving this was an ass move from blizzard. Also I don't know why gave a tech card against highlander decks they are generally least problem in a meta.
But as I see in upcoming expansion highlander decks will not be that common this will be like any weapon tech so no problem.
You just got one of the most overtly broken cards in the new Alex, if they're going to pump up the power level to obscene levels, I'm at least a bit happy something like this exists as counterbalance; I don't like over the top OP'ness, Highlander decks with 2 huge power spike win the game on the spot type cards deserve to have some hard counters at the very least.

I joke a lot, if you take anything I say seriously, well, shame on you :p
Meta Defining, everyone will run this at the beginning so Highlander decks with their new toys get shut out immediately.
Also THE Zephrys solution

anti-single tech, thats fine.
pollutes draw pool too, which is good

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
Highlander busting tech card... probably an auto include- even in Highlander decks
I see this card in memes and in aggro decks, it is interesting to ruin the rival's top deck or decks highlander, I am a fan of decks memes
