The hate that a card has is never based in if the card is good or bad, is based in how the card makes you feel. And most Hearthstone Classes don´t like Dissruption.
But most of the Heartstone Dissruption cards are pretty mediocre

And honestly Theotar isn't that bad unless you run a specific combo deck. I've been playing control mage and I've had my Dawngrasp, Mordresh, Kel'thuzad and Denathrius stolen several times, yet I've still managed to win many of those games.

I figured that out lol :annoy-o-tron:

To be honest with you, this would be probably the same Rating of Theotar if was a custom card. :qWOW:
TheArcanist (4.4) (creator)1 year ago
Huh, now that they printed Theotar, this doesn't seem as ridiculous as people thought. Granted, a Banana is worse than one of your cards, but this doesn't give you the win condition you just transformed. I guess this as a Legendary would be a printable card. Maybe not in the same rotation as Theotar tho. :annoy-o-tron:

For example, I don't think anyone would complain if this were on a 3/3/3 "Deathrattle: if it's your turn..."
That way you need to at least work for it and ask the question "is it worth it?"
Caesar (4.1)2 years ago
But yeah, 8 mana 3/3 is an exaggeration...this kind of effect should just come with a condition (like Shenanigans...though it sucks) or at a high cost, but with more stats

I do agree this isn't that fun to play against, and that this is a better mutanas in almost every single way. This is by far the best disruption tool hearthstone would have, and you could run two of them. While this hurts combo decks the most, it also does incredible collateral to big decks. The fact that it does discover also means there isnt any counterplay.

Are you exaggerating with 8 mana 3/3?
Because I strongly disagree

On 8 mana it would be better, as Aggro wouldn’t play it, and it wouldn’t be good against Aggro. But if we ever have even remotely a control/combo meta, this is a 2 of in every single slower deck. Even as an 8 mana 3/3. Being able to discover and remove a card from the enemy hand is ridiculously powerful. The amount of play mutanous, who doesn’t discover and can’t hit spells, is proof of how powerful hand disruption is.

Hmmm.....what if it costed 8 mana? Then would it be balanced?
Spacetime0419 2 years ago
@poon yes, but this card goes beyond this. It doesn’t need any shenanigans to be completely toxic. It’s insanely anti fun to have your legendary/removal spell turned into a banana. This, for MOST scenarios, is just 4 mana 3/3 “Battlecry: Discover a card in your opponent’s hand, they discard it.” Bananas are extremely negligible most of the time. This is op. This would be one of if not the best card to ever be printed, and I’d happily challenge counter arguments. Aggro can use this to get rid of removal. Control can use this to screw over other control/combo/Aggro finishers. Like people in this thread have said it doesn’t work against Aggro. Play this against hunter, get rid of rhino. Get rid of Aimed shot. Whatever. This card is stupid.

Cards like this that increase in value exponentially with cheese should be avoided at all costs. If you use this with Shudderwock, the game ends because your opponent now has a bunch of bananas instead of cards. If you use this with Shadowstep and copy effects, the game ends with a bunch of bananas in the exact same effect. It's just not a healthy effect.
Spacetime0419 2 years ago
This would literally see play as a two of in every deck. Even Aggro. Rogue would shadow step this to hell, and destroy all removal in the enemy hand. MAYBE just Aggro hunter wouldn’t run it, but everything else would. Like the more I think about this card, the more ridiculous it is. So so broken. Again, to reiterate how op this is, it would see an abusive amount of play EVEN if this didn’t discover, and just did it at random. It can even hit spells, which mut can’t. LOL like what even....
Spacetime0419 2 years ago
Lol this is better than a 4 mana 3/3 against anything aggressive. Way better. EVEN against Aggro hunter, you can hit their rhino that they just wrangled. This is so blatantly overpowered, that counter arguments are pointless. It’s better than mutanous without question, because this is also good against tempo. And control should pay the price for otk? Like you just casually drop this and snipe a hero card or big leggo. But hey, have a banana.

D-do you really not realize how broken this is? :qnikkoWOW:

I agree with you, it was awful, but this is to strong as for an epic

You remember how pathetically horrible and useless the Scholomance Legendary is?

SO op

Do you remember this dh scholomance legendary? That one, that shuffled cards into deck? This powercreeps it, this is not an outcast and it destroys the card
TheArcanist (4.4) (creator)2 years ago
This is pretty much a 4 mana 3/3 against anything aggressive. Even with the Discover, you're not guaranteed to hit a crucial card. Mutanus is a stat bomb and specifically targets minions, so it's easier to snipe a Mozaki, for example. And we really, really need strong disruption if we don't want to see the same solitaire meta for another year.

Think its insanely little drawback for an INSANE amount of upside. I think that this is so overpowered, that this would see play as just a 4 mana spell. This would see play if this didnt discover. This is Mutanous for 4 mana, except infinitely better, as you get to discover, and its not legendary. This is just insanely overpowered.

Yes, I hate uninteractive combo decks. Thoughts?
