It's not like these decks can't win w/o Alex. There's enough burn and inevitability with either medivh or Antonidas to finish from 30 just as well.
Not to mention that dirty rat is the much more effective card in that matchup

Not just your hand, a COPY of your hand, so you get duplicates.

I think he's referring to wheel effects, he just omitted the drawing part.
They already did discard your hand on astral communion and deathwing early on after all.
A discard your hand draw as many would probably be what's needed to make discardlock a thing.

Every deck has multiple win conditions now. And if it doesn't, it's not a great deck. Any single one of those cards can be recovered from to a degree. Keeping in mind that you included a crappy card to only maybe remove one of their cards. And in wild this card is probably less viable since it is just so bad vs aggro and midrange.
In renolock you're basically making your inconsistent deck more inconsistent and vulnerable to boost your deck in a direction it doesn't win by which is running your opponent out of their entire deck.
Aggro doesn't care about losing 1 card. Aggro is okay with losing many cards, see fel reaver. They'll never draw their entire decks. This is the whole fel reaver thing except you're the one sacrificing a valuable slot for an under-powered card to only remove 1 card.
Imagine that gnome said "remove the bottom card from your opponent's deck". Pretty shitty, right? Well, theres actually no relevant difference with that text vs the text it has now.
The people that think this card are OP are probably the same people that think Tracking is a bad card.

I like the warrior card though. It's like that warlock 3 drop that spawns 1/1s on taking damage, although much less value when it's 1 shot. I think it'll see play if tempo warrior does.
New hunter card.
3 mana 2/2 discover a copy of a minion in your deck.
Slow. But draw is good i guess. Value oriented.

Why are they making all these fatigue based cards when Jade Golems is still a thing?
Seems like such a waste of space.
Stitched Tracker definitely has potential at least.

Feel like this is the asterisk on basically every hunter card. "It's OK or even good but the whole class is a mess so it probably won't see play."
Good card though. If it were a mage card it would get discounted by 3.
this is made for secret hunter like yogg and load we had for a bit. you don't want to play many minions in that deck. The more you play, the worse this card is. This could allow you to combo secrets and enablers more consistently otherwise I don't think it's worth running in midrange. You don't want to discover alley cats and other low value cards when most of your deck is 1/2 drops.
you can just play these, Barnes, huntress and highmanes for example. You don't need anything else. Maybe Y'shaarj if you want to high roll here and there or Yogg. Call of the wild could be pretty good if meta is slower.
maybe malygos hunter can be a thing... hmmm...

They've also mentioned they might nerf Jades.

Hunter is pretty stacked at the 3 slot (and hunter runs TONS of minions so it's not going to be all that consistent), I like the card a lot but I doubt it will see play. The Terrorscale Stalker/Dispatch Kodo of the set, probably.
E: also, it's not a Beast so pulling Houndmaster isn't going to be a good choice to curve out.

3 mana 2/2: put a random Savanah Highmane into your hand.
Seems good. Shame 3 slot is crowded, but this is not really a curve card anyway.

In hunter you want to thin your deck. This doesn't thin your deck.
Well, we'll have to see someone do the math of that. Hunter does run a lot of minions, so it might not be as consistent as you'd think. It's also in a class that really wants to tempo out early turns. So I wouldn't say it necessarily crowds the 3 slot, since you don't want to play it on 3.

oh yes taking into account the rest of the class it's worse as it's mostly for a problem riddled archetype. When the intent is to hit a high impact minion you do not want to thin your deck of that minion though.

Mage in Arena is just too OP and broken right now. I don't understand how Blizzard can let Arena be this bad? Mage has an answer for everything. It's come to point where I just concede before round 1 just to skip the bullshit that is Mage right now.
Blizzard, fix your shit bro.
Blizzard, fix your shit bro.
Why? Some of the most powerful cards in the game thin your deck.
Mad Scientist, Arcanologist, Curator etc. Even got Hemet blowing up your deck these days.
Hunter would absolutely play more "thin your deck" cards. Like late game if they had a beast that was 5 mana and was:
"5 mana 5/6 Beast: Destroy all 3 mana and lower Beasts in your deck."
Hunters would probably play it because they want those degenerate Highmane top dicks in the late game to squeeze them out of a tight spot.
Welcome to Arena for the past 3+ years.

its a good card but it also suffers the huge downside almost every failed hunter card runs into; it's not a beast. so while it's alright it really breaks up the mojo of a beast deck. i still think it's good tho but that point has really killed a lot of fringe cards like terrorscale.
Equpping your opponent with "cursed" weapons is something I'd like HS to experiment. They've already gone artifact/relic route already with stuff like Medivh, it'd be interesting if you could equip your opponent with weapons they want to get rid of ASAP, like how Blingtron can sometimes give your opponent the Cursed Blade. Just a 1/2 or 1/3 would suffice, or make the weapon more efficient and damaging to balance for strong negative effect.
Reoccurring in Eternal.
Discard effects aren't bad, but considering the situation warlock is in, already drawing off hero power, discarding cards, jaraxxus... they're not playing a fatigue plan so why bother devoting resources to that effect.
Also, "Oh, hello there", says Set 2
Mainly a meme, but continuously recurring the effect through different void interaction is hilarious.

You'll all be amazed when Hunter gets its first draw card!
They want people to be excited and pre-order. You don't show off the class everyone hates to accomplish that goal.Every class has 3-6 revealed cards, except Priest (which is at 2 right now...)
wtf
Never.
