    Frost Lich Jaina doesn't bow to Blizzard's Suppression


    Normal Jaina has a new dresscode enforced on her however:

    This is a fairly balanced card; which means it doesn't hold up against the very powerful options of the current standard set.

    Best case scenario: Drop it on the board; destroy (or at least damage) and enemy minion and retain a 5-Attack minion.
    That way, it would be like a cheaper Firelands Portal that summons a Magma Rager sized Loot Hoarder.
    Usual case: Using it as removal + draw a specific card -  it becomes like a Rogue's Starfire with immediate combo synergy.
    At worst: You could also just drop this on the board as 5/3 with DR: Draw a card; like a slightly bigger but even worse Polluted Hoarder if you need tempo.

    Currently it's outclassed by all the very powerful cards from Journey to Un'goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne and Kobolds and Catacombs. 
    With the standard rotation removing all those cards, we will be left with only the weaker expansions, it would be a completly new meta where cards like this might actually be played.

    After that, a deck with Captain Hooktusk might actually be a thing.
    Cursed Castaway is a decently sized pirate; alongside with Ticket Scalper and Southsea Captain and whatever other larger pirates they might print you could make a huge tempo swing.

    >Play Overload Combo Shaman
    > 0-Mana Snowfury Giant + Big Bad Voodoo + Lesser Sapphire Spellstone
    >Pray to RNGesus and get Grave Horror

    Feels good.

    (in all other cases use Ancestral Spirit though)

    Source?
    Because as far as I can read on the card, it's saying "draw them all", 
    but the wording hasn't really been consistent lately.

    Masked Contender for example has written "play a secret from your deck"
    but Blizzard confirmed in a Tweet that it works like Mad Scientist and does not work with Emerald Spellstone.

    Apparently, "play" is shorter wording then "put" :^)

    Last time I checked I cannot put Druid cards into my Warlock deck.
    And I am happy that Zoolock never got Mark of the Lotus, that would have been insane.

    It's a decent dragon. Powerful but situational Battlecry, though weak stat distribution.

    It's also a common card, which is nice to know from a financial point - if you wan to try a decent dragon deck, it's not going to cost you a lot^^

    Edit: Nope, it's epic. Good Luck getting this out of your packs :(

    The way I understand it, it is a Tracking for 3 mana that tutors minions; and it doesn't discard.
    It also always draws beasts you discover this way.

    This card... is INSANE. Carddraw for Hunter is always a dangerous thing to print, and this card can potentially be 3 mana draw 3 cards :O

    I am Happy that Team 5 finally dares to print cards like this.

    It's a new cheap value engine.

    Let's take a look:
    -2/2 = 4 stats. Worth 1.5 mana (vanilla 2-drop has 5 Stats), so the effect has to be worth at least 0.5 mana to be fair.
    -Discover a spell.* Would be 1 mana ( Babbling Book is a Wisp with the same effect  Edit: It is not a good example because it is random; better comparison would be Hallucination for the effect; Netherspite Historian as a minion with discover X). Since you bundle 2 cards together, your card draw becomes much more efficient; so you could put a 0,5 mana tax on that too.
    -*If you hold a dragon. This condition usually discounts about 0,5 to 1 mana.

     Edit 2:
    Comparable existing minions are 
    Servant of Kalimos and Primalfin Lookout; both have vanilla stats for a minion worth 1 mana less, discover a card on top and have a conditon to be fullfilled as a downside to justify the effect.

    You could also compare this to Netherspite Historian; which has similar stats and a dragon condition discover.
    While Netherspite Historian could snowball by allowing you to keep chaining dragons, 
    Spells are usually much quicker and allow you to answer a boardstate quickly.
