People keep saying this, and I don't know why. Wild is going to get a lot of play, especially since you can still get season rewards through Wild Ranked.

I think everybody took it seriously, but it was quickly pointed out that even though it was kind of bullshit, you had to run murlocs to make it work.
This isn't necessarily a problem, but Paladin already had access to regular eboladin and secrets, which were always going to be more bullshitty bullshit. And this is how it played out.
Especially after week 1 when there are only two viable decks and zero counters to them.
Which could easily happen.
Standard works in theory, but the practice, as executed by Blizzard, remains to be seen.

I was correct, the context is above.
It might be a fun card right now, but so is Tinkmaster. If you want to play serious, dust that shit and make a mysterious challenger.
Looking at those predictions, I was really wrong about five cards. Museum curator (sort of), eerie statue and underplayed Keeper of Uldaman. Reno and Finley sort of found a home too. I'm kind of happy with that and at least I put something out there.
The big mistake in the past was Varian. I even crafter him but it just didn't work.

10 mana
10/10
Playing this minion spends your opponent's mana crystals instead of yours

The real question is why has Cloud9 not dropped Massan yet?

Maybe it functions like giant, it costs less based on your opponent doing something. (Hero power, spells, or whatever.)
Costs one less for every mana crystal your opponent did not spend last turn. *shrug*
The fact that America's Winter Champion played, and won, with Murloc Paladin kind of negates your entire point here
Neither is annoying
Looks like we will be getting a Corrupted Amani Berserker card. Wonder what the stats/text will be?

I haven't seen priests or patron in a while so I'm not playing keeper or equality. This has more consistent draws/damage. one equality helps against priest and patron. They are like the worst match ups, I'm just not bothering with those. Currently rank 3 NA with this.
Just bumping this because I am having a blast with it. Its pretty damn fun since people expect the secret pally deck and usually don't play around it till later

3 mana, 5/4: Enrage, give all enemy minions +2 attack.

Maybe some sort of Control Lock deck? I don't know if Handlock would run something like this. Super anti-Control deck card though, would really mess people up I think if they over-invest in a Control match-up. I guess Renolock might enjoy it.
Oh, and hey, that's the second 10-mana spell right? Pyroblast being the only other one (not counting Rafaam's summonable spells)?

That's one way to make a slightly different Twisting Nether.

Cool another RenoLock card.
Yeah, I see it as a replacement. Decent catch-up card, too. Kinda like an opposite-deathwing, in a way.
Edit: Also, I bet this is warlock's equivalent to the pally/priest/mage 'forbidden' card - it's an epic spell, so probably same 'slot' as the forbidden ones.
Anyfin and Mind Control.
I had two 28 minute games in a row that would disagree with you. Not saying there is anything 'wrong' with decks that can stretch out the game, per se...

I don't see how DOOM! is necessary. Warlock doesn't need help drawing cards, and there is a high chance to overdraw with DOOM!, while also pushing you into fatigue much faster. I think I'd rather just run Twisting Nether. Can't wait to see Reno discarded when DOOM! is played

Renolock is the worst.
The only thing I hate about Control Warrior is Justicar. I've lost 4 games to that card this weekend.
Love the idea behind "DOOM!"

Heavy control games that go into fatigue are the opposite of annoying. I wish I could queue up my warrior vs other CW all day every day.
Prediction: There will be a Corrupted Millhouse Manastorm, and his battle cry will give you the DOOM! card.
He is part of the Twilight Hammer at some point of WoW, and from this post on reddit, it looks like Millhouse was trying to use this card in the tutorial:

This is basically better than twisting nether + tap, with the disadvantage being that you can't play it sooner than turn 10 (or 9 w/ coin). Really depends on when you'd need a full board clear.
Reno isn't really a full turtle control deck, though. It is reckless and throws outrageous shit on the board with complete abandon and carelessness for the consequences, because it is capable of such huge swings that it can get away with it.

It also has the disadvantage that you could massively overdraw. When I play Renolock, I usually have a mostly full hand. If there are 4-5 minions on board, in order to clear it I might have to discard several cards, and one of those might be Reno

Hope you don't overdraw your combo pieces
You play to dump your hand like zoo before doom. The only things you save are combo pieces.

You'd have to plan your turns out very poorly to accidentally overdraw after playing Doom.
