1-mana "draw a card" is usually good value. 1-mana "look at three cards in your opponents hand" + "draw a card" is nuts. 1-mana "look at thre cards in your opponent's hand" + "draw a card" + "win in fatigue" is really good.
Because Priest now has a critical mass of zero mana spells, wich enable them to cycle like crazy with Auctioneer.
If your point is, that people could use Lazul's scheme as a cheap cycle tool, then yeah, I won't disagree here. However priests can always go with their well-known Northshire Cleric shenanigangs (feat. Wild Pyromancer, Acolyte of Pain, Circle of Healing), so it's not like the class lacked a good draw engine or anything. I won't disagree that Lazul's Scheme is still useful, but the question is - in what kind of a combo deck will it shine?
In my previous post I just expressed my disagreement with Toast's statement, that this card would enhance Inner Fire priest, because players would combine it with Shadow Madness. To me that's a really weak combo, because it's slower and clunkier to the one I proposed. Let's compare them:
I find the second example way better, because instead of waiting for a good Shadow Madness target, you can literally do the same thing with the Stormwind Knight. Whether that's a reliable combo and whether they will be other obstacles to overcome (like taunts), is another topic. If Potion of Madness and Shadow Visions were still around, I would have had a different opinion about this whole thing.
Where else do you think people could use this spell (outside maybe Cabal Shadow Priest decks)?
Exactly this, Priest already has a super strong draw package, and if you wanna get excited about 0-cost Priest spells enabling Auctioneer, let's talk about how Regenerate sees absolutely zero play.
On the flipside however, with much of Priest's existing package rotating, I think the addition of this spell does make me want to try and build around Grave Horror.
This should have been an epic at best. Dragonoid Opperative was a rare and did basically the same thing. Chameleos allow you to continually "look" at their hand, so having it be a legendary makes sense. With a 3/2 stat line, this is a waste of a good Legendary.
"Basically" the same thing? How the fuck? One adds a card from your opponent's deck, the other lets you see three cards in your hand and put one into yours.
In a lot of cases, this is just "Discover the rest of your opponent's hand" if you've been paying attention. And knowing what your opponent has is incredibly useful. The 3/2 body is just icing on the cake. Where Chameleos only shows you one card at a time, this hits you with most or all of your opponent's hand.

I hope the next card reveal is actually a reveal about the new casual mode.

0/10 will never see play, hot trash, worst expansion ever, because it doesn't win you the game on the spot or beat aggro.

I feel bad for the players who think their opinion is better than everyone else's.
