So, does anyone remember demonic project breaking the game? No? Than this combo definetely won't

 Demonic project is a completely different and trash, RNG, game losing standalone card that disrupts your own hand. This comparison is totally unfair and irrelevant.

The more I look at this card the more I think it will be very powerful as a standalone card for control warlock. It's kind of a "reverse Sap" in a way. It doesn't matter if the opponent gets the minion back later, the truth is you're going to deny and delay a lot of plays just by removing a minion from their hand temporarily, especially against aggro and midrange, because it's a minion that could/would have been played immediately the next turn if it had not been discarded and they have to deal 6 damage that won't go face to get it back. And by the time they get back their minion in their hand, it's 1 or 2 turns laters and you stabilized.

I still don't buy the brewmaster combo though, unless you really try hard to snipe combo decks but I would just do the usual Tickatus+Yshaarj instead and hope they didn't draw their combo yet.

My god you guys are so toxic.. The op is being respectful and reasonable, says things like "it SEEMS problematic TO ME", can't you just tell him why you think he's wrong ?

I like how everyone thinks of himself as a great card evaluator but in reality every expansion we are horribly wrong about most cards, we think we learn to be more accurate every expansion but in reality game mechanics and cards combinations evolve much faster than our ability to review them.

I don't see this particular combo as being problematic, but I can absolutely see a world where someone makes Felsoul Jailer problematic in some way or another. If you can make copies of it, silence it or whatever, it can quickly become a crazy anti-control/anti-combo card.

Comparison with tickatus is also unfair, the reason you don't brewmaster tickatus is because you can felosophy it instead, and also because it already costs 13 mana to corrupt and play. And it burns cards from the deck, essentially having 0 immediate impact in exchange for bigger impact later in the game. Felsoul jailer has immediate, potentially massive impact if he burns the right card, so brewmaster makes more sense.

In the grand scheme of things, it's like Tickatus, never going to be problematic because Hearthstone will always be an aggro driven game, but i'm positive a lot of hearthstone toxic members and great card reviewers are going to cry a river because Felsoul discarded their wincondition and they couldn't get back the card in time.
