A bad design stuck on a bad card, too random and situational to see play in a meta where discard still remains a hugely bad mechanic. All in all, donìt expect to be seeing this one anytime soon on the ladder.
A deadly shot with a discard upside.
Pretty legit in some control decks, works also with tamsin and the deathrattles.
So 4/5
Deadly shot litteraly sees not a single play, this card is so unreliable, saying its good beacause its deadly shot with an upside is like saying fierce monkey is good cause its silverback patriarch with an upside. Have trouble seing this in a meta deck.
powerful effect, but random removal is often too random to be useable.
It is a shadow spell, so it does have some shadow synergy, but I don’t think it’s the right shadow spell to recast multiple times.
It also works with tome tampering, where it MAY see some play, but it may not even be good enough to replace a possible ’10 mana minion discounted to 1 mana’ draw with a fairly bad removal spell.
Playing it by itself is just really bad 9 out of 10 times. I’d compare it to Deadly Shot, which I have not seen for a long time. While hunter may be a different class, it struggles with hard removal. The fact that even hunter can’t play Deadly Shot means Warlock can’t either.
2/5, I’m not sold on this card.
