    I don't know but this effect seems worse than letting your opponent draw 2 cards...

  2. DireRaven103

    Turn 4: *new* Immolate Spell to light opponent's hand on fire
    Turn 5: Commander Ulthok to let your opponent dump their entire hand at the cost of life as long as they also kill the 5 cost 7/7 that is ALSO threatening their life.

    3/5 depending on how the meta shapes

      *play aggro*
      *opponent plays 4 mana do nothing*
      *play your minions out & pressure face*
      *Opponent lets you spend your life on finishing them*
      *play Mr Smite & kill them*

      Don't take the bait on this card. It's shockingly similar to Temporus, another card that read "Battlecry: lose the game (unless you're going to win anyways, in which case this card makes you win extra hard".

        I totally get agree, but the Hearthstone must've had some intended purpose right? Maybe it weaponizes Abyssal Curses even further by making all the curses cost life to get rid of?

          my brother in christ blizzard makes a lot of cards that are just bad regardless of what their intentions were

            Well, I'm atheist ????‍♂️

    Cariel's dream

    Warlock confirmed as the class with the most trash cards this year xD

  5. Sidus

    What? This card is absolute cheeks. I guess it is supposed to be like Loatheb or whatever, but the Warrior is still going to Brawl or Shield Shatter you.

    Millhouse-like effect with millhouse-like stats might as well called it commander millhouse

    1. Nightfall

      At least you can watch your opponent do some amazing plays while you're dying.

  7. Mzop

    people are underestimating this card. its not a tempo card. you dont slam this down on turn 5 and loose. you use this as a finnisher for when your opponent is low to lock them out from playing cards. decks like curselock who benefit from burst damage will use this card.

    1. Nightfall

      That's right, but is it worth playing a card that is absolutely dead unless you're winning, at which point this card is just a win more card?

  8. DeadlyBlinke

    Trust me this card is gonna make a lot of people pissed off. It shuts you down for playing cards especially expensive ones. Seems like people think opposite that you just play it immediately and give your opponent free tempo. A decent warlock player will make his opponent locked out from playing cards late game.

  9. TardisGreen

    Paladin can go infinite with Holy Maki Roll after this is played. Hysterical.

  10. WingedCastaway

    Should be "Cost health as well as mana" with a worse statline imo.

    1. Morituri

      I like that idea, maybe split between mana and health

  11. Morituri

    Nice niche use card. Would be better with a "as long as it's alive" like Okani.
