On top of that, the Courrier gives you a discover effect, so is 3 times more likely to give you something useful for the current situation. Besides, its cheaper cost means it will be easier to cast the additionnal spell in the same turn.
Also, the 4 drop slot is very heavily contested in Renolock & Priest, while Mages have much better cards to get additionnal spells, like Babbling Book, Cabalist's Tome or Ethereal Conjurer..
i think it's people's general excitement for how good the potions are or will be that has them liking this card.
The game is harsh for 3 health minions nowadays, and this one doesn't seem to be particulary exciting : Gnomish Inventor seems more powerful in a vacuum...
This is a really great comparison. Inventor is a 2/4 for 4 draw a desirable card. This is a 3/3 for 4 get a random potion. Inventor sees zero play, ever. I think this card is a dud. People will hope they get a dragonfire potion (really the only one we've seen so far that would make this card worth it) but there seems to be a large enough pool of potions that's unlikely.
Putting a 3/3 down on 4 is a deathwish unless you get an immediate turn 5 answer (ie,,. kazakus and his amazing 5 mana spells.)
I think this card sees zero competitive play.
You could be right. But, then I think about how Ivory Knight gets played and I'm not so sure. Maybe in the right deck this works just fine.
yeah, there's definitely something to be said for adding cards from outside the game. also, ivory knight heals you which i think is what takes it over the edge into playable territory.
IDK if you want to put an extra 1/2 mana minion into your deck if you play it on curve, just to draw it late game. In reno mage its too slow imo. Its a so so card. Don't think it will see much play really.
reno is a slow deck anyway so i don't think this will be too much of a problem. a lot of the time you're not playing reno on curve anyway. usually you're just waiting for block to go off.

i suppose we need the weapon version of this ability as well. i certainly hope this isn't the only mechanic gadgetzan is introducing.

not really a big fan of the direction blizzard wants to take warrior. i understand it, i just want more control warrior cards.
