What is that feeling called when you read your own message and always feel you said something real dumb? :tinyfin: :chicken:

So it either:

A) Draws 3 cards for (4), that's quite a lot, but ok for modern HS I think;

B) Draws 2 cards and plays one - it's a lot too, be it an X/X minion or some kind of an AOE, it's just a really good tempo, to be able to draw 2 cards and do something possibly big for (4) mana only;

C) Draws 1 card and plays two - that's A LOT;

Worst situation for this card would be to summon a minion and then destroy it, but it's a big unlucky moment, most of the time it would provide a lot of mana worth of value + 1 card draw;

Removals don't really ruin the game for you, because you can choose when to play this card.
If you have a board advantage, you can just keep this card in your hand - you are already winning anyways.
If you have a disadvantage, this can either clear the board and draw a couple of cards, or summon a minion or two and draw 1-2 cards, bringing you back to game;

I am not sure if C is a lot stronger than B tho, because in C you have a chance of being unlucky, while B is somewhat more stable, you either draw a minion or maybe a removal, maybe some more draw, but you can't draw a minion + a removal on it for example;

The fact that this is efficient draw AND can cheat stats is too good imo. I'd rather see this at 5 mana

@Nekkro I wouldn't say "insane", I'd consider it pretty situational. In the case of summoning x/x amount of stats, Dark Alley pact does something similar without the risk of keep burning your stuff when played on tempo, and most of big Warlock decks also run several removals, would be a shame casting one of them while you have the board advantage.

Burn is not a real term in the game. Would be something like "Any that don't fit in your hand" or something like that.

And the card is insane. By turn 3 Warlock easily can have 9 cards in hand, then you play this in 4 and draw 1 + summon X/X in stats. It's not difficult to build arround and the Highrolls can be really explosive.

@Kapiork well yes but actually no, some classes are more prominent with certain mechanic and Warlock it's with card draw, also Warlock already have Backfire for 3 Mana.

Isn't "Draw 3 cards" worth 5 mana? I guess it'd be 4.5 mana according to Arcane Intellect, which could be argued that it should be rounded down to 4, but Nourish is 5 mana...

Very unique, I'd love a self burn archetype for warlock
