didn't blizzard just blatantly state that they don't want to print cards that hate or steal from your opponent?
if it was for both players, it'd still be "fair"-ish, but this is just stupid design, sorry...
fuck the interactive game, lets make some rage quits
putting cards in a specific position in your deck is not allowed
Not allowed, but it would be a good thing to have
You see, that would both be much stronger and paradoxically cause less outrage.
I'd likely play such a card, unlike this one (because as it is, in almost all cases it is just a 2/3 with no effect on the opponent)
this will see a nerf in 1 or 2 months
More like, (as the revealed set shows so far) this will see no tournament play and be irrelevant ;)
Wa! Holy Moly!
I have thought about cards that affect opponent's hand and/or deck but I can't imagine it would come true
I wish I can Shadowstep it, Gang Up it, Brann Bronzebeard and Shadowcaster it lol
Potentially Rogue can Gang Up, after Warlock played this card, but this is a big hypo... so yes, they can...
Not to mention that Swashburglar can give you a copy.
It's doesn't had to be powerful card like Antonidas or huge legendary. Just small thing like "Fire ball , Sorcerer,Brawl or tar creeper etc." That is one less treat you need to deal with .And it give you the information how much resource the enemy have left . How is this gonna be useless?
Yes this card thin the enemy's deck but remember. People don't put card in the deck if they don't intend to use it for something.
Priest and Mages be like: "We have Kabal Courier"
Does this count as discard for quest and such ?
Since there is not a single Put/Copy/Move X to the top of your deck, this card is strictly equivalent to:
Against combo decks, if you burn a key card, it's gg. If you don't, you actually helped them thin their deck => Decent (but worse than Dirty Rat by far).
Against Control decks, you put your opponent ahead for fatigue damage and may have insta-removed a threat (not necessarily big) => Slightly good.
Against Aggro, on turn 2 it's a 2/3 (good), else it's a dead draw (bad) => meh.
TL,DR: might be seen in control decks, although I'd still run Dirty Rat over it.
It is NOT strictly equivalent.
You are burning the opponents topdeck, and he knows it. So more rage and salt will be generated when he knows he was 1 draw away from the card he wanted/needed.
Jokes aside, cards t hat manipulate card order might appear down the line, so it might matter then.
well it's still a 2 mana 2/3 tha helps with the early game of warlock and can potentially damage your opponent's strategies
WOW . . .
i love this card, i love you blizzard!
Warlock forever!
As a turn 2 play, even the information on the opponents deck can be useful. Nice card!
won't see play in constructed, good in arena
Because discard is when the card is already in a hand.
