Let's remember around 71 or so cards have been released out of 132. That's bit more than half. Wait until rest are revealed before doing something you might regret! Like disenchanting cards.
Unplayable trash.
I have no idea what they were thinking with this card, unless they made the card shit on purpose.
I haven't done anything yet, but there are only so many cards and day after day some type of trash is revealed like that Leper and the Hogriders.
All of the card pack expansions after GVG have been filled with noncompetitive filler cards. I always advice people not to buy many packs as it's better to just craft the specific epic/legendary cards that you need.
Of course if you don't have the dust to craft the cards then you'll want to buy packs, but then you should just buy packs that have common/rares that you want and then dust the extras and use that towards the new cards.

This card might have potential if a minion based Demonlock deck ever becomes a thing. One day it will be a powerful 3-drop on Wild, specially if they ever print a good 2drop. Buffing Voidwalker is already decent value. I like the card, even if it doesnt fit any current warlock archetype.
Regarding Bloodfury Potion, I think it's just a bad/sub-par potion card that's there to nerf the Potion-generating cards so that they don't always have only good options. They probably don't intend to make any more Potion cards after this expansion so they need to make sure that the pool of potions isn't too good or they end up with a Murloc Knight situation.
I'm not sure about that. Velen's Chosen was bonkers, even though it heavily benefitted from Priest Hero Power. Blessing of Kings is also a powerful card. I'm aware it doesnt scale the same way and this card is less flexible due to the restriction, but I think it might be decent one day.
Nah the value is there if you get the full buff. Blessing of Kings is a playable card.

Is this real life? Why would you want the game to stay the same?

Hm I'm the opposite miracle is the most fun deck in the game for me right now and cards for that is all I want from rogue. That thirst has pretty much been sated with the coin already though but I dread the day when Emperor rotates.

any good vod of the hero brawl with a cool deck? Need something to watch this am
If you want aoe in rogue, skulker is ok. It destroys zoolock honestly and it's not terrible against shaman either, it kills those basic totems, it's useful.
I'm not sure if having cards like that even are in this new "rogue identity" they keep babbling about, so when BRM rotates out you're pretty much screwed. Even hunter has better aoe options with unleash or explosive trap. Powershot is ok too actually just unnecessary.
Rogue would be the worst class for aoe damage when that happens.

I did Shaman and I dig aggro. And it's not like aggro Shaman is all that great anymore, it's midrange all the way.
I'm weird though, I know I'm in the minority for liking aggro.

You know, I respect the honesty. You like what you like.
Oh, im not sayin' its not fun, im just saying that Miracle is like the only viable deck type for Rogue.
I went and looked back at their blizzcon panel and I guess I figured what Jade Lotus is about.
Their main theme is that they're hoarding Jade items. Jade is a crafting material for magical items. Now druid is getting mana, I'm pretty sure shaman is getting more spell damage. Then you have the rabbit pickpocket in the trailer and all the ninjas/assassins, those are probably garbage rogue cards. I thought it's about mana first but this is probably more likely to happen.
Honestly all it takes for rogue to be broken is like 1 or 2 cards. If the new control cards remove decks like midrange shaman or board flood in general from the meta then you don't even need aoe. It's a possibility, they're finally printing good aoe and there is a lot of them in 4-5 classes now.

Seems to be pretty clearly about mana , the druid card draw is mana ramp, the coin is mana accelleration etc...
I like it a lot because it means that it gives way to decks to not be all about the curve.
Poisoned blade yo.
Gotta nerf that "give a random potion" card!
I don't think that Warlock potion is unplayable trash. It's comparable to Seal of Champions and that saw some competitive play. I think you will be able to hit a demon reliably enough and being able to trade up with your imps is something that Zoo always wants to do. I doubt it will become a staple, but it could see some fringe play.
It's obviously trash in non-Warlock decks though, so a nerf to the random Potion card in Priest and Mage decks.

Bloodfury Potion seems perfectly playable in a Demonlock deck. Not outstanding, but certainly playable.
it could have been worse, hello demonfuse. The only demonbuff that has seen play so far is demonfire, because it's flexible. This is somewhat same but still way worse. The warlock creatures are played to be expendable with synergies in your deck, you don't really want to waste a 3 mana card to buff one, you'd rather play another creature. That's harder to deal with.
Magma rager seems playable in a divine shield deck.
Bloodfury potion seems to be for a deck that hasn't been good for quite a while. The demonlock deck has been seriously lacking support since GvG and BRM so I'm not sure this is going to turn it around. That said, buffs are pretty powerful especially when we consider that warlock loves Power Overwhelming and that buff kills the minion. So a smaller buff that lets you keep your dude is not awful. But let's wait a bit, I don't think this is an amazing card, but it might be playable.

who plays demonlock anymore
Yes it's crazy. You rely on that Reno heal so much as Warlock that you cannot afford to have any duplicates in the deck. You keep Reno against aggressive match ups and you don't want to be on turn 6 with both POs in your deck.
I don't think Prep qualifies. Minion-based rogue decks don't run it.
You could probably throw Power Word: Shield in that list, too.
When you have a ton of auto include cards then that limits deck building.
The game already only has 30 cards in a deck, if like 8-10 of those are filled with "auto include" cards then that just results in everyone playing very similar decks. It's just not interesting. This is what happened with Druid pre-Standard.
That's how Blizzard sees it at least. I don't personally have a major problem with it but if they start claiming stuff like that then they need to have consistency across the board... not pick and choose based on metas like they did with Execute and Rockbiter.

Tempo Mage up to 2nd in popularity. Still miles behind Midrange Shaman

Yeah this was very evident in the Heroic Brawl at high wins. Still second against Midrange Shaman but not that far off, good match ups across the board and people were too scared to use Zoolock in the Brawl.
The Brawl did succeed in creating a hyper pressure meta (at least at high ranks of the Brawl, at low ranks it was a bit of a clown fiesta) and people very quickly realized that Tempo Mage is very good in this.
