I kinda love this card. People also seem to be missing that this is a 4 mana 5/5, and a pirate. Creates an interesting mind game too, like if you discover their hero card; do you take it, or do you take something worse so they don’t draw their hero card? Or there’s the interesting side effect of finding a premium removal spell when maybe you need one for an opponent’s minion; but taking it would give them that card as well.
But, people…it’s not card disadvantage, which I think some people are missing. It’s card neutral.
As a disruptor for “Need things in the deck” is quite week compared to just, destroying the opponent’s decks with Tickatus;
for everything else, you might get a copy of something good so it can work in Value games;
I think this could just somewhat shine in Wild thus far, tho by getting Kingsbane or other stuff from the opponent.
Huh, so they finally started powercreeping the old statlines.
So you both get the card. But why… exactly? Mill, maybe, but even then it just feels so awkward. Maybe it’s more to do with what Info your opponent has more then what you want from your opponent. This seems ooo-kay…? I guess. But I’m scratching my head for who really wants this, especially as a Scan-style Deck. I’m going to give this 3 Stars, but in the lowest 3 stars possible. It’s got usage, but as of right now NOBODY wants it. So much so that a lot of players are just dumbing it as a 1-2 star, and for decent reason as well.
