Posted Jul 31, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)The mana cost is too high for a card that does nothing for a turn. It should have been 5 mana.

Posted Jul 31, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)literally unplayable as long as Purify is holding the meta hostage.
on a serious side: with Glacial Shard it can work, basically somehat like a new Entomb?

Posted Jul 31, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)This card is iffy. It would need to be something like "Freeze an enemy minion. At the start of your next turn, take control of it" to be playable I think. Cool concept but as is it probably won't be very good.
I like how it can act as removal for big 4 attack minions but there's a pretty heavy flaw. The reason mind control is not really played is because you have to commit your whole turn to it. With this card, you have 4 mana leftover on turn 10 to do whatever you want with it... but what would you even want to do with 4 mana? Heal yourself? You obviously wouldn't play any minions because your opponent would just trade off his big guy so you can't take it or would use it to kill your minion and weaken the one you're getting. Big value for him. So then what's the ideal turn 10? This and the 4 mana heal 12? Seems bad. Same issues as mind control. You devote your whole turn to this and passing basically but at least mind control immediately removes the card.

Posted Jul 31, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Man, if the minion that was targeted with this was secret (like with the druid card) I would actually love this card.

Posted Jul 31, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Glacial Shard + Embrace Darkness seems like a good inclusion in a Elemental Priest deck.

Posted Jul 31, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Way too slow and specific. This should have cost 4 mana at least. You can compare it with Mindgames
Versus agro both cards are useless
Versus midrange : you get 30% chance to get a good minion with Mindgames and you get instant board presence plus you get to play it next turn if it lives.
With Embrace Darkness you get 30% max to get the minion you've selected (if you're lucky), your opponent will likely silence it, kill it, evolve it or just kill you since you wasted 6 mana on previous turn, then if you still get the monster it will be on your next turn and this monster won't be able to attack until the next turn again.
Versus Control Mindgames gives even better results than Embrace Darkness
Mindgames is better than this card and nobody plays it. So I don't see any sense using Embrace Darkness

Posted Jul 31, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)it's not like mindgames. you steal enemy minion it's like sylvanas or in worst case corruption.
