I did itfor the grin. Guy looked so happy I figured it had to be a good card. Turned out to be wrong.
Which is why it was much more likely to be a good card.

New card:
Why?
People hardly use Demonfire/Demonheart as is, only seen them used in that Mistress of Pain deck. You also cant use it to damage an enemy, what a piece of shit.

Wonder if the downside is too much. Seems like it would be pretty crazy on a Mistress of Pain or Imp Gang Boss. But at that point why not just run Demonfire.
HahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhaaaNew card:
The fact that it's Demon only means that you can't use it on that new 3/4 Legendary.
Like it might've been OK without the negative penalty. Then it would've been comparable to Demonfire at least:
You are getting +1/+1 stats but not the option to deal direct damage with the spell which IMO would've been fine.
This card was simply not necessary in the Warlock arsenal. It's boring, doesn't promote a new playstyle/deck and cards similar to this already exist.

I would love to see him do the equivalent with digital cards. He would find a way.

I was just thinking this. It's less attack, so it's worse at finishing than Arcane Golem, and it can't be played straight from hand without prior set up because you have to have a demon on board ready to attack to get any value from it. I thought they learned from earlier cards like Felguard and Succubus that these cards with a crippling draw back for a minimal gain are just unplayable. They were doing well with cards like Imp Gang Boss, Floating Watcher, Mistress of Pain, and Mal'Ganis on making demon cards that are just good cards. Dark Bomb has been great for Warlock, and Demonwrath has a place in Demonlock, bu this is just useless.
It being targetable on an enemy minion for damage AND it being able to buff up non Demon minions (both you and your opponents so you can play some BGH plays).
Like you could maybe then use it as a secondary Darkbomb or use it to buff up your Nerubian Egg in Zoolock.

New card:
Wow. Now this card is bad.
I definitely think this card is bad for arena. It's a conditional demon only buff on top of that not being targetable on enemy minions. And if that wasn't bad enough...... it gives your opponent a mana crystal...
This might in fact be the worst card of the set thus far. Like all the other cards had some niche usage or were at least Good Enough for Arena™ but nah this card is just straight up awful.

Voting for the Blood Elf idol thing. That's a microphone right?
No one likes trolls anyway, Blood Elf vs Troll is not fair at all
Ben Brode says to vote left but says the right one is "way crazier". I have to imagine crazy means bad, so I'm voting left.

Now that's a shitty warlock card. Hopefully priest gets better spells than that to make them more viable.
well, you could hit that on voidwalker or flame imp and they would be pretty good. It's not really that terrible, it's just that zoo doesn't run demon buff cards like these.
edit: and yeah, arcane golem is just better at finishing than this, this is probably meant for early control and aggro not a finisher.

Or you could use Demonfire instead and not give your opponent a free mana crystal?

My idea of early control does not include giving the opponent a free Wild Growth. You might have slightly stronger board presence, but you're not controlling anything in that situation.
What's crazy is that wild growth is 2 mana. So this should be 4 mana worth of value. Would a +4/+4 be playable? What about +5/+5?
It's the same stats/ability as Arcane Golem, but it requires you to have a Demon on the board or playable from hand... so bad...
Giving up a permanent mana crystal is so huge.
