Anka, the Buried
Actually there’s a ton of support. Nec blade and vial would be insane if you hit mech welp or something powerful. Even worse you could hit mecha’thun, draw your entire deck with Myra, then GG.
Desert Obelisk
Well technically you can do something along the lines of discount this via florist. Then copy it using Elise, bounce Elise with brewmaster or put a copy back in deck with banker, then the second Elise would make four copies. If you run all the bounce effects along with baleful it means you could have a full board of these for zero mana, then just board clear and OTK. Problem is of course druid’s lack of removal to make this happen and the shear amount of set up required. Maximum memes can happen with this card.
Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron
Most underrated card of the set, everyone has been calling for nerfs to the Giant + CC combo. If those nerfs do happen I suspect this card will be absolutely stupid. This set alone has multiple big board clears and there’s dozens within the other classes outside of mage, which means statistically speaking this should clear the board at least 90% of the time.
Plague of Death
ummmmm they already do? Pyromancer is especially good in priest, Noami priest kinda proved that one…

It’s honestly not discard lock that I find concerning with this but more so zoo. Sure silence but most decks only play one copy and that doesn’t come down until turn 3 at the earliest. Just because silence answers this doesn’t mean it’s bad, because every card has a weakness; and it’s all a matter of how common silence is in the meta, which as it turns out only a small handful of decks even run in their deck.

Problem is warlock lacks the control pieces required in order to make the game long enough for Elysiana to have any impact. It works with Shaman and Warrior simply because of Hagatha and Dr 7 respectively. Warlock lacks any overly good AOE, and this will be an overwhelming problem to nearly all the aggro decks currently being used; which given hearthstone’s history will only get faster after new sets, prior to nerfs coming down. You potentially get more copies of Elysiana than Shaman (which has two minimum), but lacks the infinite value hero power that Hagatha basically has. I think this card may be super nasty in zoo, as you discard a card and get two copies back; and getting double leeroy or two magic carpets would be enough to win the game.
Or you can run a miracle deck similar to Naomi priest. Problem is rogue has no board clear and vanish was removed.
