We understand that part. 1 Mana doesn't mean turn 1...
A warlock card with decent stats, a good effect and no downsides? One would expect it to be a legendary card.
does the effect of happy ghoul work while in hand? or does it need to be on the board first?
nevermind i read the text wrong lol. I understand the effect now.
Everyone seems really excited for Happy Ghoul, but I don't really get it. Sure, if it's a two mana 3/3 battlecry heal your face for two that's good.. But if your opponent has no turn one play you won't be hurt going into turn two. Later in the game, it's a one mana discount on Acolyte of Agony with slightly less healing, battlecry "You can't use your hero power this turn", and none of the potential lifesteal synergies. The only decks I can see this card being good against are Pirate Warrior and Quest Hunter, but I'd much rather have a Golakka Crawler against Pirate Warrior and I don't mind only having two attack from any normal 2 mana 2/3 against Quest Hunter.
It's not just from hero power heals though. Presumably this works with lifesteal as well.
If you're relying on something other than Lesser Heal to activate ghoul, it's usually going to take a while to get the discount, or you're going to play it as a three mana 3/3. In that case, I think it's not much better than a Nerubian Prophet.
With "super unique hero power of Anduin Wrynn" you can summon 2 of these. ALSO it's not like this card is too competetively viable
Opponent discard would be awesome
no it wouldn't
So far the Death Knights have had little to no synergies with their respective class legendary minions. Since warlock has a discard oriented legendary, I hope we'll see a demon style Death Knight

second card reveal 19:11
Mistress of mixtures turn 1. Tap on turn 2, trade mistress, 0 mana 3/3.
make midrange warlock great again
the 10th can't come soon enough.
A playable Demon? You're slipping Team 5.
All i want now is that sounds of Happy Ghoul will be as funny as the art :)
I would play that card just for flavor, just as I was happy playing Master of Ceremonies attacking shout - "Ready to RUMBLE!!". Definitely card doesn't need to have awesome stats to be played:)
