    I was considering of voting Pepe but I still stand to that the card is extremely overpowered. On paper it's just a weak minion that gets maybe a few hits in before removed but if you actually build a deck around that thing, it becomes lock-down a board while you win by attacking with it. Even if it would get removed, you have already bought so much tempo that it hurts.

    Concept of deck thinning is so powerful that some card games put too good ones to their banlists.

    Pot of Greed, draw two cards. You can imagine it was pretty much auto-include usually in Yugioh.

    Patches the Pirate is almost as good in Hearthstone. You can play it without penalty of its own cost (usually.)

    Considering battlecry triggers from card being played, not summoned, people already knew that the card would be great. However if you want a big catch, you should have way to effectively remove whatever it summons.

    Since combos require a lot of mana, it's a good idea to wait and not play it in a curve.

    I think many people miss the part about it only damages the enemy minions, that's why the card is considered good AOE compared to many other options. If your deck relies to board presence, that's awesome.

    I evolved Fire Elemental into Baron Geddon.  He destroyed my board and lost me the game -__-

    Actually the whole seven mana spot is pretty awful, I should really stop evolving fire elementals even when they need a heal...

     You know that EVERY young Fire Elemental wants to be Baron Geddon when the grows up. Their true dream is to evolve again into Ragnaros the Firelord, though.
     EVOLVE, INSECT!
    - Ragnaros the Darwinist (2016)
     Ragnaros the Evolver should be an actual card.

    Blizzard puts out cease and desist letters faster than they do expansions

    Even if this somehow gets made and released as "full version" (which is extremely unlikely,) I have doubts it would feel as polished like the "real thing."
    Certain very polished games have lately been coming out but they got released because they didn't advertise them in public (ten years of doing a game in secrecy and then releasing it before cease and desist.)
    Probably why I don't get really hyped about mods before they actually come out. Those rarely get finished.

    I disagree that Lightning Storm can be treated as five mana spell. Overload doesn't work like that.

    Overload cards are actually good due more the card relies on overload, cheaper it's to cast when you actually need it. In many cases it outweights the overload "penalty" which has been lately been rather neglectable due how the cards are balanced.

    This is just what Hearthstone need, more abilities to mess with enemy's board outside of dealing damage.

    This is insane, you can get a minion on board plus shuffle three of them to your deck with only one mana if you have Fandral (or play Fandral at same turn which is less risky.)

    Then Gadzetzan Auctioneer can help you to draw them.

    However there are weaknesses, like shuffled cards ending near bottom of your deck and stuff like that. You end up shuffling them too much to your deck and you can't spend your mana effectively, but if that 1 mana minion via spell has high stats, mana effeciency is thrown out of the window.

    Yugioh! is basically a game for you. Matches can drag on quite a bit because opponent draws their next delay to put on your way. Definitely a game I rather play vs AI. Hearthstone works better as competitive game.

    I really dont think it will flat out assassinate a minion because if a minion is at full health it would heal for nothing. Hence it would deal 0 damage using auchenai effects.

    It would though if the effect is: restore health equal to a minion's max health.

    If the effect is consistent then it will assassinate the target.

    This card scales a ladder.

    I suspect this "feature" was their idea of making new expansion more desirable. Aka it will be intentionally quite powerful so you want to throw that real cash on screen.

    I guessed it would use similar mechanic to C'Thun and it seems that I was right.

    I think Jade Golem is even better, due you can keep tempo up especially if you can have more than one of them on the field.
