I like how it work out in big priest, Your shadow word removal get ignored if you play this on an empty board, can fish out mind control or free from ember and get epic ass Shadow Essence. You can keep the buff in there and this would still be decent just to thin out your cheap spell and cycle if it draw the 1 mana draw card +2 hp with this. Actually this just slot into big priest. It can win you a game if you cheat this out with shadow essence and it mind control a enemy 6 drop.
Big priest has better cards,so its difficult for this card to take a slot.
Isn’t this very good in jade druid? Most of the spell you don’t choose target anyway. Swipe only hit enemy. And I don’t mind UI damage to face because you will gain armour anyway
please more rng cancer cards.we hadnt enough.what is this game becoming?
Haha this expansion is really hating on free from Amber so far
technically speaking it could work in the right kind of deck. realistically you're playing an 8-mana 4/7 that might not even do anything useful at all (oh wow, i wasted my turn 8 to get a secret from my deck into play, such value)
Would be a lot more interesting at a lower cost, but 8-mana is just too much
Some cards nice to have in deck with this one that can't backfire: any secrets, any card draw, any enemy only mass clear (mostly Shaman) and
Priest: Mind Control, Free From Amber, Shadow Essence, Devour Mind, Holy Nova, Eternal Servitude, Mass Dispel
Hunter: Call of the Wild, Ball of Spiders
Mage: Greater Arcane Missiles, Flamestrike, Blizzard, Cabalists Tome
Rogue: Sprint, Thistle Tea, Assassinate
Paladin: Avenging Wrath
Warrior: Ironforge Portal
Warlock: Kara Kazham!
Druid: Webweave, Evolving Spores
MAybe add Elise the Trailblazer to up the chance that you will have a spell left in your deck
i am still w8ing for some kind of card what will have some kind of power to change the random target to target of your choice that would be cool
that would make cards OP, the main reason they are random is to they are 'balanced'.
My small mind cant think of any kind of deck that would want this card.
More cards for Shaman?)
Can we just stop with these kind of cards?
Wow, that's such a piece of crap that i'm sure it's gonna be that one super bad epic which i'm gonna open around 4 or 5 copies of while still missing the ones i really wanted, like usual.
Yeah, i got 4x deathaxe punisher and 4x glacial mysteries but i still had to craft 2x dead mans hand
This gets the award for worst art ever, feels like a 2014 custom card lol
Next expansion's this will be the new mechanic "recruit a spell" LUL
I MUST FEED NOW!!!
(most of druid spell has no down side)
you do realize that if you cast UI at the end of each turn you will lose dont you?
This seem realy good in a priest deck that has mind control , holy nova, free from amber etc... but im not sure if its worth it to build a deck around this
think of it like this, you play this on an empty board on turn 8, you either get a 4/7, a 5/5 and draw 5 cards, or you get a 4/2, a 5/5, 5 cards and 5 armor not to mention that it can also land on your opponents face, might not turn out to be a crazy powerful card but it sure has potential to shape the meta if someone figures out a deck to abuse its effect
