Zavas! At the disco

This card is going to be so much fun to play with. Finally some decent discard mechanics to make discolock fully viable!

OP

A high variance Edwin VanCleef. Is the power level of Discolock worth gambling on having and discarding this 3+ times a game, or is it better to just play a nice, consistent Sea Giant zoo?

This card alone make the Warlock quest totally worth play.

2 mana 4/4, 6/6, or even 8/8 seems well balanced.

The important part is the card comes back to your hand after you discard it, the stats are irrelevant in most cases. I'm not sure you'd even want to play it unless you had to.

I have a feeling this will be my first craft from the expansion. Looks like an incredible card for discardlock.

Actually love the intention of this card, despite it seems to be broken.
But basically it is a card like Brann, just insta-drawing opponents' (hard) removals.

Edit: I read the card wrong, sorry. So the original text is worthless.

One word Deathwing

Duck and cover, Disco meta CONFIRMED! 

PS. But seriously, isn't blizzard going a Liiiiiitle too far stubbornly supporting and then forcing this archetype?

not really, Blizzard has already said they want to introduce more class "identity" i.e. rogue-combo, druid-choose one. Warlock has demons that dont really do anything unique aside from the demon tag. I think its good theyre at least trying other things because for the last few metas Warlocks only identity was its hero power. All the top decks just ran strong neutral cards

Imo it's same story as with overload.  Discard should punish you for playing under costed powerful cards.  Overload was the same, gradually becoming stronger and stronger to the level where it became an advantage to play overload cards or you can cancel the effect altogether.

While I understand discard is more of a RNG fest, it seems to me unfair to play  a powerful discard card like the new felhunter for 3 mana, drop a silverware golem and buff another card in your deck. Like overload, it seems that the discard mechanic is starting to become more of a reward than punish effect.

An incredible card for sure. The stats and mana cost are almost irrelevant, just keeping this in your hand to not discard other cards is more value than playing a card can ever be. And if you happen to have this in hand and a Malchezaar's Imp in play, you're just drawing free cards left and right.

This is so good for any deck that runs discard effects: including the current, aggressive Discard Zoo that is not interested in running the quest. In fact, Discard Zoo might end up being the better discard deck over the quest variant.

I have also examined the discard archetype in more detail in my blog: http://www.kilkku.com/oldguardian/2017/03/an-early-look-at-discardlock-in-journey-to-ungoro/

Isn't this mechanic working only when the card is on the board?

Niye cuguluyorsunuz?

2 mana 8/8 here we come.

This card will probably be more successful than all the other handbuff mechanics. Grimy Goons lol
