Plot Twist
Note I said as a meme deck it’s not a deck you play with expectation to win you play it so when you do win you can laugh about it. It’s always fun to beat someone with a really weird deck that really would be considered maybe tier 3. In wild this is actually easier to trigger if you can stay alive because of blood bloom into contract you just need 4 cards in hand before you would do it.
Plot Twist
The big difference between the two though is the fact that there ARE cards that benefit from you drawing like doll master and fell Lord in Yu-Gi-Oh there isn’t much of anything that works as effectively with that effect. There are cases where mallet and reload have there uses if say you ran a deck that had cards that moved themselves to bottom of deck. Reload was also an emergency card as a quick play in case of card similar to card destruction or exchange if there was a key card in your hand. I never bothered with mallet but reload was a good tech card with quick play because people I played against did use cards that affected the hand.

You know I just realized with this and Elekk control warlock has a viable reason to run the spell void contract. Cut both decks in half and then while have a big ish hand play this with Elekk to load up your deck with at least 2 copies of the cards in your hand go into wild and you could possibly drop 2 guldans. (ouch). I’m definitely going to try to assemble a contract deck using this set up even if just for the memes.

It has some better uses with dollmaster Dorian at turn 8 though 3 chances at say a voidlord from solarium and then at least 3 more chances at it when shuffle cards. Small field stats but has possibly high value if draw certain cards also this could prevent you from burning something important with solarium. Most threatening thing to this card is a daring reporter.

There’s alot of cards appearing that have terrifying synergy with cards that are in or going into wild. Untill the 2 cost spell for warlock was revealed the best hope for fell Lord was with skull of manari sense demons in wild which still is a better play instead of a turn 9-10 play we have now. The priest ressurect Lego is scary for big priest since at worst it can pull Barnes but it can also pull itself and the 8-10 cost as a rez. Overall I think this is one of the biggest boosts wild deck types have gotten since year if the mammoth.

The praise is due to the fact it can be considered a searching card say it’s turn 10 and you really need a twisting nether to turn the board around. Then there’s the uses in wild for even warlock that’s searching for twilight Drake and Giants. The fell Lord is basically a late game win more use of this card. Also it can help get cards to your hand you may not want to risk being pulled by a hecklebot or put cards back into the deck you do want heckle to pull.

Yup this is awesome and now fel Lord is great outside of wild btw this would be evil in wild even warlock if need to draw out Giants and twilight late game use with fell Lord works to. What would be more interesting is if this applied to your opponent as well could interrupt combo decks which seems to be a theme this expansion. On a side note this could be considered a usefull searching tool and way to drop the late game cards out of hand if Mulligan is crap.
Nine Lives
Hmmmmm. They’re putting out a lot of cards that would be rather terrifying in wild. Let’s look at that eggs, sneeds shredder, sylvanas. Do you need more? Not to many big value cards for standard ATM anymore outside of say tagging the kill random enemy deathrattle but we’ll have 5 more expansions with this card.

Vendetta
This is so beautiful a great removal card for anyone who plays the best rogue deck. Where’s the fun in knowing what cards you’ll have and this is easily useable in the early game for Tess rogue. One of the downsides of tess rogue was you could have poor powered minions this is a card that can be playable as early as turn 1. Could probably get away with running hecklebot in thief rogue with this to possibly remove the opponents minion in the same turn.
Magic Trick
Looks like small spell mage is a thing this with Ray of frost apprentice and Mana card on turn 4 big tempo value .

Attack my army of squirrels through my enemy into the garbage chute. ROFL. This is definitely for token druid.

Thing is big priest runs alot of control cards as well yeah as first out it may not be great but it’s a very threatening card on the board and is not likely to be left alone. 1 usefull thing teching this card can do is cut down dead spell draw since there’s a few spells you tend to not want to play from top deck. It’s a little more rng but pulling this out with shadow essense is alot better than pulling Barnes since it sets up a rez chain.

Being weaker doesn’t mean anything depending on what you take with this. Including wild we have sylvanas, obsidian statue, fuegan/Stalag, sneeds shredder. The big deal ATM is you can tag mechanical whelpling at turn 9 that’s 2 2/2 that can become 7/7s. There’s a few other of note but those are some of the big ones.

Rotation means nothing to wild format in that this is a perfect card for ressurect priest. Don’t dis a card just because it may not look good in standard there’s 3 game modes not just one. Standard, arena, and wild. This just makes ressurect priest even more irritating for wild.
Batterhead
You missed the thing that breaks this in warrior Akali turn 8 + spirit of the rhino at turn 9 with this that can be an 8/17 with immunity basically anything your opponent has is dead no questions unless divine shield. And leaves the 8/17 on your field as a threat.
Batterhead
Priest has best possible use of this also for wild this thing is pullable with oakheart. Sad part is this is coming in after Hunter spellstone rotates. Woulda been a way to stop that card for late game. Top options to play this are priest and warrior just imagine akali pulling this card. 8/17 with infinite rush basically clear a board on it’s own.
Problem of handlock is those time where the hand cards you want turn out to be towards the bottom of your deck yeas this loses one card but by the time you’d play it the Mana cost won’t mean much and you likely have enough cards anyway.
