It's supposed to be the main thing of the card. You draw a ton of cards while also milling your opponent

It's not supposed to be a downside

I don't think this drawing a card is really a downside worth considering. It's like saying "Ah but this discards cards" in an Un'Goro Quest Warlock. Yes, that was the point. Your whole deck is built around the ability to draw cards and keep on shuffling without milling, so how is this a downside?

Yeah, yeah I know. (It's the only deck I've played this month :jaraxxus: )

Bomb Rogue can kill by Turn 5 in Wild with a good hand. I doubt it would ever run this card. (Source: used to run the deck, and it was disgusting)

Though maybe the Standard version could still use it?

Actually no, this is indeed too slow for Bomb Rogue.
DustenStein (creator)1 year ago
Ah ok. For that you mean. Maybe, I have no idea :chicken:

Bomb rogue? It's a bad research project for the first couple uses. Isn't bomb rogue more aggressive than that? And it's not exactly useful to fatigue people with since it draws cards for you as well so Rogues that draw a lot naturally won't be able to drain their opponent before they drain themselves

Since it'd be extremely easy to redraw the upgraded copies

Actually, i'm kinda scared of it in Bomb Rogue more than anything

I am not a big fan of Mill Rogue myself so I have no idea why I made this :chicken:
I justified its existince in Standard by the lack of support for this and wild can get the good ol' ban

I can't deny that this card is well thought out, and it would probably be well balanced if it were printed. That being said, I would HATE dealing with this alongside Door of Shadows and the normal run-of-the-mill Mill Rogue degeneracy.

I can't believe it's doing so well. I was sure it would get dunked on rating-wise for being a Mill Rogue card :boomS:

I hate this but it's definitely well designed

First off, this card looks really clean. Epic gem, nice purple art, cool name. Feels like a real HS card. Absolutely.

Even the design is something I could see the devs printing, even if it might potentially be busted (or banned).

Well done on the presentation. Not sure on balance yet.

Of course you would but that means nothing to me in this case

i like this better. i dont think you should look out for consistency in wording too much, blizzard doesnt thats for sure
DustenStein (creator)1 year ago
I could go with Ignite wording. Should I?

There isn't a lot of shuffle or mill support in standard rogue atm so this should be fine. And this is banned in wild if necessary. Thoughts?
