I wouldn't be so quickly judge this card as horrible. One of the main problem with warlock as a class currently is the lack of healing to make up for their hero power/card effects and this card somewhat provides it. Additionally, while I do agree the discard mechanics currently sucks, we still don't know if they have a very strong card that can significantly increase the archetype's viability (something of Drakonid Operative or Sunkeeper Tarim power level) that can eventually make even a card that has terrible face value like this be eventually playable.
The Issue with discard is that it is random. I don't mind it being a mechanic but making it the main warlock mechanic is bad because then warlock is all about luck. Luck of the draw + luck of discard + Other HS RNG = not fun
If I discard this thing and Cruel Dinomancer summons back, will be summoned with original status (1/6) or with increased attack?
It's not battlecry, so probably
Sadly, you won't know since you'll discard BOTH Cruel Dinomancers #HearthstoneLuck
Oh look, it's Mistress of Pain's older sister. Maybe she would see play if she were immune to discard, or silence, or both. But as is...
Would like to see some warlock lifesteal card that is more suitable for slower warlock decks. Healing is not making discard lock, as we know it now, any better. Of course there might be some totally new type of decks using discard mechanics rising in the next expansion, keeping in mind that Lakkari Sacrifice is not really playable at the moment so there might be a bunch of cards coming to boost discard mechanic.
Not saying this card is totally crap before I see all of the new cards.
If it works from the graveyard then its something to admire. Discard forever and it comes back a giant, once discarded and returned.
adapt for each card you've discarded this game SeemsGood
If there will be a DK Warlock passive - for the rest game you can choose card to discard, discard lock will be awesome
I agree
dislock would finally work that way.
This card is basically 5 mana Darkshire Councilman with discard and legendary tag. TERRIBLE!
Make it simple: Make her a Demon and say Demons cant be discarded , and BAM Discard Warlock is good!
Yes! More terrible, low-impact, discard-oriented Warlock cards that can easily be answered with no consequence!
Cruel Dinomancer existing makes this sick. I think if the Death Knight Warlock card has a method of recovering the resources lost from discarding, it just might end up an archetype. I don't understand all the complaints
Why did you think Cruel Dinomancer never see play beyond meme decks? it costs 6, too slow for a discard deck.
