This isn’t so much control lock as a pain lock there’s several warlock cards that work through causing dmg to self one of which gains lifesteal when you do. Add in the minion that damages your hero when it attacks. With the support cards given nuking board and healing big if holding a dragon I could see a dragon based painlock appearing.

Wait what! What the hell is this that’s not funny. We’re definitely seeing a huge supporting card for painlock. This is basically a card you wouldn’t play until turn 10 but once you do you can guarantee at least 1 6/6 dragon spawned minimum. Add in a few other cards that gain abilities if you’ve taken dmg and your set.

So what your saying is quest shaman can now smash you in the face with a 7 Mana pyroblast on a 5/5 stick. That sucks and quest shaman typically runs a few overload cards or can generate them from Lackeys and other minions. You’ll basically see this run in every single quest shaman deck. And we may see a return of overload shaman.

You know alot of people dissing this card but there’s one thing forgetting warlock decks have run Rafaam this is basically a condensed version of Rafaam that doesn’t effect your ENTIRE deck it’s a good option if your more of an aggro and got stuck with an opponent that has stalled you.

Here’s a combo that has value though. Warlocks can now use the card that kills a minion and puts worthless imps into the deck then play this with sense demons pulls out 2 imps and transforms them into random legends. This works if you DONT run a lot of other demons.

So basically a card that’s only useful against rogue and warrior in general BUT this is Galakrond era so you can steal the second attack from fully invoked galakrond for yourself.

Wow and look who joined the running for most broken card award. First off it supports the Hunter side quest of summoning 3 rushes. Second this card is ASKING for you to use dire frenzy on it. Why not use a card to put 3 copies more in deck with all having ability to tutor out the next one from the deck.

So we’re looking at a card that works best if you can clone it let’s see Hunter mage and rogue can do this but Hunter is only one that would get something out of doing it due to beast synergy.

Its a good card that helps priest survive the early aggro if you run bigger cost cards.

So considering this year is about dragons there’s only 2 possible reasons to add this card. Either it’s to throw a bone to wild or it’s a setup for pirates appearing next year.

I already stated you won’t see it in res priest.

Voone is better to use when it’s buffed.

Your forgetting also drawing from Galakrond.

Voone*

Then gotta think of all the bull crap that can occur from Specific classes running this for the class dragons. Mage pull a kalecgos get free 4/12 then a free spell or say Hunter pulls Emeris. Then you have possibility for a Highlander warrior play this and follow it up with say Boone get 4 0 cost dragons and if lived could use the 2/3 get a copy to hand then clone for 2 more alextraza and 4 0 cost dragons…….

Ok I talked myself into it I’m making a Highlander warrior.

Would only kill the 5/5s that were on the board does nothing if summon more after. And this card can be triggered before turn 5.

The problem priest also had was that it couldn’t always trigger the weapon that easy till late game. With this for mage you could summon at least one 5/5 and this card together as early as turn 3 with the right cards in hand. Play this coin into a 1 cost play the 0 cost reduce cost of elemental and drop the 2/2. Granted that’s the BEST case scenario making opponent have to deal with 9/12 in stats on their turn 4. And you’d be refunded 3 random spells.

Except making them use resources to counter this is also kind of the point considering that 8/8 dragon that will give you 2 0 cost dragons the more removals they waste early on the less they have for later.

You know with a card like this dragon rush will be interesting add in Akali and you have something nasty technically giving 5 potential draws at this card coming out and summoning 2 more big rush minions. And if galakrond draws Akali all the better.

OMG I love this it’s an auto include for Highlander mage even if you don’t run any other dragons because even if you low-ball the dragons this can put 3 minions on the board with one guaranteed to be big. If it survives you can use the 2 cost 2/3 to add a second one to your hand and do it again.

This will see play in hand decks particularly warlock hand dragon to maintain condition for the hellfire on a stick.
