Hearthstone

Because harvest golem trades with so many 3 drops before its deathrattle goes off? But yeah, I can see how you could potentially really screw yourself if you still have a weak minion in hand and it summons it.

Fuck I just found out it doesn't work. Jaraxus' battlecry never triggers. So it's a 5 card combo for a turn 3 3/15.

It's a terrible card. Warlock demons are cheap because they typically have negative battlecries. Yes you avoid the battlecry by utilizing the deathrattle, but since it requires the demon be in your hand and the best value you can get out of it is a 4+ mana cost demon, it means you've had a dead card for 4 turns.

Felguard or Doomguard would be the only good summons, I think. Though maybe combined with Rivendare it'd be interesting?

The phrase 'combined with Rivendare' is all you need to hear to know an idea is bad.

But then you have to put a fucking Felguard in your deck. If you have to put garbage in your deck to build around the card it's a bad card.

I still don't think felguard would be worth running, but succubus might be worth considering, but pit lords, dread infernals, and doomguards(besides illidan) would all provide ridiculous value.
Also consider playing against it, it puts yourself in a hairy situation, if you don't have board control and you don't have silence you absolutely can not afford to use removal on it because you just spent your mana on removal AND you might give them a big demon. Should you choose to ignore it than your opponent can doa it or demon fire it and it is much more formidable.

I have Voidcaller in play. You destroy it and I have a few demons in my hand. We are assuming I get to pick which to play? How long do I get to decide? This is the only card that forces a player to make a decision during the opponent's turn right?

The player doesn't get to choose what demon goes into play. It's random. And that's a good thing because we don't want the opposing player holding the game "hostage" on their opponent's turn.

Ok, that card is unplayable then.

Just opened my third Ysera. FML

I have never gotten a ysera yet, one of the last two legendaries that actually get played that I still need, her and Mukla.

Ysera was my first Legendary. I bought the $10 7 pack deal and got her followed by Antonidas in the next pack.

I'm missing the Black Knight. My heart is heavy.

Eh, there are quite a few cards even in the current limited card pool that people said were unplayable, but that ended up in top tier decks. Sure it isn't a good idea to stick it into the current Zoo or Handlock decks, but there could be a new mid-range demon Warlock that uses it.

I agree you don't want unplayable demons in your deck, but the only demon I'd say for sure is unplayable is felguard.

Doomguard was considered unplayable.

I think succubi are iffey, losing a card isn't the worst thing in the world for warlock if you had to play her with the battlecry and she's big enough to get plenty value from the new card, sense demons could possibly fit into this deck and make up that card loss if you had to play her from hand. Felguard I don't see his unplayable status ever changing just because if you play him turn 3 you aren't really destroying one mana crystal you're destroying 7, or at least 1 + however many turns until the game ends before 10. Pit Lord, his battle cry is playable, although flame imp is better in the grand scheme of things and you can't take the hits from both flame imp and pit lord, that is why you never see pit lord, but pit lord may work granted you circumvent some of the battlecry damage from those two cards with the new card + you have sacrifical pact adding new life. Dread Infernal is absolutely playable, he just doesn't really fit into zoo or handlock.

I don't know if it'll work, but the new card at least brings the unused warlock cards into the equation.

They really need to announce pricing. I'm sitting on 2,000 gold I've been saving up for a while now, and as a free player who doesn't bother with arena, it's very frustrating to be grinding for weeks without ever buying packs due to saving for Naxx. Lot less fun when you don't get to look forward to opening a pack at the end of an evening of games.
