Of course we have to see what else Blizz has planned but the evidence so far is quite strong that they don't understand their own Discard mechanism. Do they ever playtest these decks?
There's a gazillion cards that discard other cards. That leads to Warlock having hardly any cards to play except the 2 per turn from drawing and lifetapping. So at some point there are less downsides because you can play e.g. Doomguard 'free'. But then the synergies (rewards) in place are from actually discarding cards, not attempted discards. See the quest and the new 1/6 Legendary.
These two effects are fundamentally opposed to each other: they anti-synergise (and hence discard deck s area hot mess), but Blizz seems not to understand this - having only 2 cards in Standard that synergise with the act of discarding itself (Silverware Golem and the Clutchmother).
This + treachery + blood bloom + kara kazaam + defile is a pretty silly combo.
HO....LY....shit....thats just an insta concede...
Yeah, but that's 5 card combo, thanks to quest mage we all know how hard it is to gather 5 combo pieces in your hand. Not worth even trying, this isn't even necessarily winning you the game.
But you use 10 mana, 5 health, 5 cards, to make your opponent discard just 4 random cards and give a 3/2 to your opponent. Really?
Insta concede for yourself i guess
Note to everyone: I said it was a silly combo, not a good one.
40 btw haHAA
RIP Warlock 2017
Deathknight pushes disco synergy
6400 dust for not even 1/5th of the deck
play 2 games with deck
end up with 1600 dust
haHAA
The Mill dream:
Wailing Felhound, Treachery, Imp Gang Boss, Zealous Initiate, Defile.
Requires a tick from Emperor Thaurissan. Discards 6 of your opponent's cards from their hand. Can anyone think of a better combo?
Best combo man, also easy combo cuz it doesnt require many cards
Imagine that this is the only card in hand)
BEST LEGENDARY EVER!!!
On a side note, I really like warlock quest :( and hope it gets to see more play with more of these discard mechanics.
Nerf to Hallucination. There you go. Use it sparingly.
Treachery synergy?
good idea! but the isn't enough tool to deal damage to it after giving it to your opponent.
I was going to say this is just a bad card, your reminder has made my change my opinion, this is a funny card.
Spreading Madness good card, and if you're playing some spells with pyromancer too but you need PO :'( ! we have to wait till expansion goes live!
