You do realize you still have to buy packs to play the game right

Interesting concept but I can't really see this being useful outside of long control vs control matchups. If the meta is very control heavy, this'll help give warlock an edge to outlast the competition, but between this and the removal card that burns cards when you kill minions, I hope they're not trying to go for some deck-burning warlock archetype.

4 mana do nothing lol

Aside from the genuinely very pathetic thirsting over a very small piece of art of a mostly clothed woman in a card game designed to give chinese children gambling addictions, can't really anticipate its power level until we see how all the spells are going to be classified. I'm generally very sceptical of these "spell school" cards, but if Cascading Disaster, Siphon Soul etc. end up being shadow cards, this could be useful.

Somehow I don't think so. Most of the time you'll be wanting to play it around turn 5, where it's 0 mana draw a beast. I don't think that's going to be enough to push some kind of "beast druid" archetype.

How the hell are people complaining about this??? It's a solid control tool that pushes mage towards control and offers a solid response to midrange decks, especially paladin. Is that supposed to be a bad thing??? Is it a bad thing that mage is getting a really solid, functional control card because you play midrange and it might punish you for not playing against it??? Holy shit.

Is this what the people who are still playing this are like??? Are you sincerely complaining that this card is overpowered because it's good against midrange decks??? It's a control card. Control needs more than just anti-aggro. It needs tools to stall midrange and value decks into the late game where it can win. Jesus christ, who are you???

If only mage had tools to get rid of low health minions

People are really losing their minds over this card as if it's not just going to be an okay power level auto include for every priest deck this set. No, you're not going to instantly win the game if you drop it on turn 5. You're playing priest. You probably don't even have anything on the board before turn 5 and have to drop this on turn 5 because you've already somehow lost 12 health. No, you're not going to lose the game if you put this in your deck. It's a 5 mana 5/5 with taunt that requires you to heal yourself once to become an 8/8. You're playing priest. Either you're just going to wait til 7 and hero power face with it or you're going to play one of the 8 cards in your deck that heal you or your minions and play this alongside it.

It's not going to break the game. It's not instant dust. It's just an okay card. I know the past year hasn't really had "okay cards" since everything's been either overpowered or unplayable, but this is an okay card. Just...breathe.

Gotta say it's been a while since I've heard the argument that a card is badly designed because it stops braindead aggro decks with no removal

Nope

Nah.

The control card warlock desperately needed for a while. Now to see whether it's going to be enough to elevate the class

What a mess demon hunter flavour has turned into, 4 expansions since the introduction and they've already given up and started poaching obvious hunter cards. This is on par with Deathmatch Pavilion and Pit Master being shaman cards.
