If there aren’t any other supporting cards for this archetype, I predict this is going to be pretty awful. First of all, a 4 mana 7/7 with no other effect is not what aggro decks are about anymore: it’s just plain stats and a downside. And btw, control decks can freeze it, transform it, silence it….do a bunch of other stuff which negates its deathrattle. I get that the combo they want you to do is to play the new 2/2 weapon right before this card so that you can refill your hand immediately, but do you achieve by doing that? Dropping 7/7 stats which can’t attack until turn 5 and having a mediocre 2/2 weapon which just kind of replaces a hand of cards you already had before. Not to mention that the cards you had before were the result of a mulligan, and therefore better on average than just a random set of cards. I don’t know, I simply don’t see this card being useful in the slightest, at least if that’s it for discard synergies.
it’s a very good card, you can manipulate how you use it, play it for absolute tempo vs aggro or as a final threat with empty hand, along with the new card magnifying glaive
all in all it’s a great card
I think people overestimate how good overstatted minions are right now. Playing a turn 4 7/7 which does nothing but sit there doesn’t strike me as the most powerful thing ever, exceptionally so when the enemy can just stall you out and deny you the 3 cards drawn. I will admit that with Dispose of Evidence being revealed a few minutes ago, I can see that the likelihood of this card being played has gone upwards by quite a bit, but still, I am not crazy over it.
Hopefully there’s some kind of additional support for either the draw or discard part. Otherwise this would only be really good in aggro.
Haha four mana 7/7 they must be laughing their asses off at this one
This could be really good or the next Commander Ulthok
3/5
Warlock would die for this 😀 That said, pretty good card for any form of Aggro Demon Hunter (except Odd, of course).
In a low-curve deck with Glaive for refuel? Perhaps. Probably not though.
Hey, thats pretty cool. We didnt have many aggro cards for DH lately.
