The reason I don't care for it is because of how situational it is. It's a card that, by itself, does nothing. If you're in topdeck mode and you draw this, you're hosed. If you have shitty minions in hand, you don't want to cast it. If you're playing against Control, it's a gamble. This is one of those times where you're better off putting in a solid 4 drop like Yeti.

How about something thatdestroysa random minion from each player's hand? That would at least have some lulzy potential and would make sense with the engineering theme.

So...maybe it's just badly worded and both of the random minions end up on your side? Or it's total crap and worse than Mind Games...whatever.

Meh. I actually think Mind Games is better. Yeah you have zero control over what you get, but it's asymmetrical and doesn't cost you an additional resource from your hand/deck.

Games could be so fast if people played at a decent pace. Every turn doesn't need to take you forever to think out, the game isn't that hard I promise. I just played a Priest on ladder (I'm using control warrior) that lasted 15 minutes. I won and had only taken 4 minutes on my turns, that's obnoxious really.

Also my right shift key is broken, man that sucks. Always using left shift for the fucking lose!

Show and Tell was considered pretty bad for a long time in MTG too.

This will find play someday, might be another expansion or two though.

Thing is there is a lot of hand, library, and graveyard manipulation in MTG that is not present in Hearthstone and probably never will be. Closest we've got is Tracking.

60 Rogue, 3/4 of the way through last level of Hunter.... can't keep playing though. I even made up random Hunter decks to make it more interesting and I can't, I really don't like this class right now.

Meta shifted again and I've rode a bonus streak down to rank 8 with Face Hunter. These games are simply ridiculous though. When I've done 18 points of damage by turn 4, a lot of games are simply inevitable because, worst case, I'll just hit them with Kill Commands and Steady Shots to the face and run out their clock.

I'm not a fan of fucking with someone's hand in general.

I always liked Black and Blue or White and Green decks. Green with it's mana ramp was awesome (Birds of Paradise, elves and then start dropping those cheap forest djinn guys).
