What would placing a cursed card in your opponent's hand turn 10 do? They would just cast it the following turn, unless you're saying make the curse card unplayable, which is never going to happen.

Mana cost & damage are subject to change obviously. Make it a 4 or 5 cost, idk, it's not my place to balance the shit. What it would do is remove any low health deathrattle'd minions that still exist and prevent your opponent from playing a high cost threat if they value removing the curse. I'm just saying it sounded like a neat idea and curse cards seem to fit Warlock, yet there's only 1 in existence thus far.

You're too hung up on the idea that the draw is redundant to the hero power, but if that was the case then a ton of spells wouldn't make sense. Its an interesting card, hard to say if the meta or the available lock tools will support it right now. I think in wild its already worth trying in a combo based reno lock.

Not hung up on it, just saying it's weak for 10 mana. I love playing warlock and see no point for this card. Warlock have the most abundant and best removals in the game already, for cheap. Hellfire, Shadowflame, and even Twisting Nether.

This card could only fit in renolock but a renolock usually sits on 5+ cards in hand since you need to use every card carefully as you only have 1-ofs. You're not dumping your hand. I'm not going to spend 10 mana to remove 2-3 minions that can be dealt with easily with cheaper cards.

I think you guys are valuing the draw way too highly.

There is a reason why the current cursed card is unplayable and its unlikely to change. Just don't see them being too keen on forcing high cost detrimental cards to your opponent's hand.

Let me try a simpler approach.

Twisting Nether is a shit card that only gets run because Renolock can't double up on hellfire and shadowflame. Doom is even MORE of a shit card than Twisting Nether.

Got jaraxxus from golden monkey and just lost a game because I wasn't aware turning into jarraxus also removes any armor you have.

The only question of whether or not that card sees play is if Reno survives the gutting it's getting by losing Naxx and GvG. 14 card overdraw? Seriously? You understand you can attack with your minions before playing it right? The only plausible scenario that sees youforcedto draw 5+ cards is one where your opponent has a huge board presence and you have none. If that's the case milling is not your big concern.

Where did I say 14 card overdraw? I simply pointed out its potential.

In fact I've been trying to come up with a reason to use it as a draw mechanic... but without Imp Gang boss and Implosion it doesn't seem feasible. So yea, trash.

Where is the best place to see the new card posting? I've been ignoring Hearthstone lately...Just bored as hell with it.

Hearthpwn or go to the hearthstone reddit, there's a sticky with the new cards. The reddit post is kinda hard to read though if you use RES.

Looking at the cards on that site...

Only 2 or 3 look good to me...
Herald and Hoarder look playable...Solid value. Herald reminds me very much of Sylvannas in terms of value (not quite as good unless the deck is purpose built to support it.) Hoarder is solid...It isn't a 4/3 that drops a 2, but it seems like it could generate reasonable value in a toned down meta.

Doomsayer and Elder are probably playable, but depends on what other cards shake out in the meta. A 3/4 with a bonus ability seems workable...A delayed turn 7/7 would probably slot into the Handlock.

The Forbidden cards will see play I would guess...Especially the priest one, because people love their RNG bullshit and adjusting to random advantage is a mainstay of priest control.

I think I just played against 6 straight people who literally smorced the entire game.
