Card’s a joke. Oh look, cost discounting is good! Card draw is good! Let’s combine them!
…on a 10 cost minion? Yeah no. Demon Hunters do this sort of stuff for like 2 mana while also accidentally doing like 7 face damage, why does Shaman have to shell out 10 mana to do it?
Games end by turn 7, but shamans gotta wait 3 more turns before they can join the game.
Farsight on a 10/10 body.
Meh. The only way this is going to be good is if you play this guy at a discount.
Could be combined with Shudderblock but that would be in Wild.
Let’s wait how the other cards look like.
…maybe I’m in the wrong, but this actually doesn’t seem that bad.
It’s draw cards until your cards are no longer free.
Sample scenario
10 mana 10/10 draw a 5 cost minion, it’s free, repeat because still have 5 left, draw a 1 mana spell, repeat because still have 4 mana left, draw a 3 mana minion, repeat because you still have 1 mana left, draw a 6 mana minion and it’s reduced by 1 and now stop drawing.
So for 10 mana you got 10/10 body, 5 cost minion for free, 1 mana spell for free and 3 mana minion for free and a discount on 6 mana minion.
People have been paying 7 mana so they can play Fyrakk for 1 mana. This dude can essentially do the same and draw Fyrakk and play him for free.
In wild you can make your deck ordered high to low via Polkelt, play this, it draws Shudderwock which is free and draws another card and discounts by 1. Then you can immediately play Shudderwock, who will also draw the next card and make it discounted by 10 and draw more.
This is cracked in wild
EDIT: And holy moly if Rogue gets this with Imbue, that’s GG

Does it? How I understand it that this draws 2 cards.
The first one can have it’s cost reduced by 10.
Then a second card is drawn and the leftover cost reduction is applied.
Cool card, but it’s 10 mana and doesn’t immediately impact board.
Probably slots in as Elise activator for Midrange Shaman archetypes if Elise isn’t completely killed.
Really glad we’re getting this after Turbulus + Parrot Sanctuary rotation though could you imagine dropping this on turn six.

Like the other repeat effects this expac it goes until the condition no longer applies (0 mana left to discount, or 0 damage to deal with the warlock card)

It says repeat so it will keep going until it gives a full 10 mana discount across cards it draws.
So, it could theoretically draw 10 1-mana cards and they are all free.

I see. That makes the card even better.

Especially win Wild. It’s cracked in Wild for Shudderwock Shaman (which was ALREADY good)
So you can play this, play shudderwock free, who will then draw more cards that will be free and those free cards will let you bounce this and Shudderwock back for free. It’s gonna be nasty.

This seems way better than players are acting like to me.

The closest thing that was printed Previously to this is Varian and Varian didn’t do much for Warrior when it was in Standard. The Shaman version is better though as it can get more then 3 cards and has more freedom on what you get for free.
Mabye theres a bunch of shaman cards like overplanner coming that will let you make this card a consistent thing or some elemental discounter card.
Otherwise its an imbue rogue card and everyone should be lucky aviana is rotating out of standard. Mabye if highlander comes back this can see play or mabye its card 30 in an elise deck.

Don’t think It is that good.
In my opnion is something you include in a deck that plans to reach 10 mana anyway but you for sure don’t lose time building around It.
I think about it as a expensive card to cycle your deck while also providing you something to do on your turn.

10 mana
Draw cards to reach your Win condition faster while also doing something on the board so you didn’t lose.
I can be wrong but unless blizzard pull their shenanigans with some Dumb deck shuffling synergy this see 0 play.

It’s shaman. The class will see 0 play, again, because Blizzard hates it. It’s not allowed to be good. This card would cost like 4 mana for the same effect and stats if it was in Demon Hunter. It would cost like 5 corpses if it was in Death Knight. It would deal damage to things in addition to its effects if it was mage.
But no. This is the definition of a 10 mana: DO NOTHING, all because its shaman.
I suppose it’s nice that you nice that you can run a sharp eyed scout to watch the next card you are about to draw. 10 mana just seems like a lot to ask the class.
Maybe playable in deck but Oh my if you discover this…
