Putting this in a Discard Zoo deck with Treachery and Defile seems more doable to me.
You can play this on curve to bait your opponent to attack it and pull Silverware Golem, or...
You can wait until turn 6 and give it to your opponent, then send your tokens into it, making him discard his entire hand.
its not that discard is a trash mechanic in general, its just that Blizz keeps printing cards that dont help the archtype. Discard needs more cards like Silverware Golem, clutch mother xavas and Fist of Jaraxxus
WOW SO COOL I CAN'T WAIT TO OPEN SOME
Un'GoroI mean KotFT PACKSPlease cease the whining until the warlock Hero card has been revealed.
Treachery combo PogChamp
discard is garbage
please
stop
blizzard
The Warlock DK hero will definitely give you an option to get back some discarded cards.. maybe each time you use your new hero power.
Why can't Blizzard listen to the playerbase? We do not like this stupid mechanic so stop printing cards to support it. They decided to nerf Handlock and Zoolock to print crap like this? Come on man...
Warlock legendary hero would be:
"If you discard this card put it on play instead"
Hero power: summon a discarded minion.
Why couldn't this be 3 mana 3/4 lifesteal demon? WHY BLIZZARD?!
I have a better idea. Make Acolyte of Agony neutral so that warlock can use. Priest won't use it anyway.
Treachery is a good card because they gave it to the worst class
Now the warlock quest is playable !
Play this card, take damages, discard cards, accomplish the quest, keep taking damages, discard the quest, concede ...
I lol'd
You're exactly right. They need to change the quest reward to say "cannot be discarded" or like Silverware Golem, play it for free when discarded.
So, what I see here, a decent tech card against Evolve. Also works against Priest, since they can land this into their hand with Mind Vision or Crystalline Oracle. Similar effect can be applied to Rogue with Swashburglar.
And ultimate Treachery synergy.
This is going in my treachery decks for sure, even if you only run a one of, the potential to empty your opponent in a control matchup of any resources is invaluable and helps set up potential fel reaver mill turns even better. I think this card even has some potential in super discard heavy focused quest lock decks where you just play defensive till you get to quest. Still not good, since you have the 4 mana 3/8 taunt thats discard is more controlled but it could have potential if we have more "do something when discarded" cards added.
9 mana card combo with Spreading Madness
Yep, that's the plan. Twisting Nether curves into it nicely as well.
