I look at this as a more expensive, but more powerful version of Thoughtsteal. If Nefarian misses (i.e. you get two unusable spells), at least you developed an 8/8, so it's not a total waste. Plus it's a Dragon, so there's value there. If Thoughtsteal misses, on the other hand, you just wasted a card and 3 mana and got nothing for it. And Thoughtsteal is generally considered a pretty good card these days, because more often than not it can get huge value and give you access to cards you wouldn't otherwise be able to have. Nefarian is essentially the same idea.
Like Ysera, it's probably too slow to play on ladder for most decks, but I think this will be a fun new option for control Warrior. An Equality to combo with my Whirlwind? Why, thank you. Savagery + Gorehowl? Yes, please.
Playing the decks that already exist right now are a perfect counter to most of the cards in BRM.
yea sure, but you know how this game works right? few cards become popular and people start running them... then others start running counter cards/decks.. slowly but surely the meta changes and in one moment you have no idea wtf happened but you are playing half the bRM adventure in your deck..

Except that won't happen because the gvg decks that already exist are more efficient than any of the cards released. Every card shown so far is too slow or nowhere near as efficient. BRM is too slow and bad to change the meta.
Adds 2 random spells to your hand from your opponent's class - so you can get any spell from your opponent class even if he doesnt have it in his deck right ?
Yeah, sorry Nefarian. I want to be your bro, I really do, but I would take one of the above cards over 2 random class spells any day. I will just craft Ysera and imagine that she is the reward for getting full BRM :)
Maybe this is really a catchup card for new players or so.... but then again, BRM equals 35 packs...
Because you can flurry a gorehowl after you attacked..
As someone else said, you can attack a minion first. Even if you don't attack a minion, you can do 10 AOE damage to everything. Even if that somehow isn't AS good as possible in a given situation, it's fucking awesome and at the end of the day what else matters?
Why do people whine about stuff being able to be killed by a Big Game Hunter all the time? Just because something can get killed by a BGH doesn't mean it's not good. There are a lot of great cards with 7+ attack that see play; Neptulon, Alexstrasza, Dr. Boom, Molten Giant, etc. Most of the decks that could use this probably have multiple BGH targets anyway.
That said, I think this is one of the most fun cards I've seen in a long while. So many epic moments to be had.
Love it, really fits his blackwing lair raid mechanic :D

I'll be awaiting the day that someone gets double Tree of Life.
Put your faith in the light!

So what happened to less RNG in BRM lol? Still think it's a cool card but not sure if it'd see much play.
Nefarian into Unstable Portal into Nefarian again...
Put your faith in the light!
Meh, this "follow the WoW lore" thing is killing the possibilities for hearthstone.. This dragon feels like a filler.
"The light shall burn you!" - heals face.
of course :/
Don't think that this card will see a play outside of fun-decks but well yeah, looks funny to play.
Who can take your trash out?
Stomp it down for you?
Shake the plastic bag
and do the twisty thingy, too?
balllllllllin'

35!!!
I cannot deny how BA this card looks I cant wait to add it to my collection!
If you can't beat them, join them
yes you can if you attack a minion
Time is money, friend.
The more I look at this card the more I am convinced that this will be our new Trollden number1 card.

"I hate Hearthstone. This game is a joke. Let's go play a real game." - Xixo on me beating him with his own face hunter list

nefarian has a battlecry which gives it immediate value. there's no certainty that ysera will give you that second dream card
i prefer handlock over zoo.
Id rather have a full RNG game than another season of Gameplay = Hit Face!

This card is pretty terribad against Paladin. They have the worst spells in the game, excluding the staple ones.
