Outcast should not work with only 1 or 2 cards in hand since all it does is drawing cards and adding more face damage most of the time. DH is so frustraiting to play against and since they already have countless tools to just ignore everything and go face it just feel awefull when they vomit their hand and get rewarded with infinite card draw from their outcast cards.

Even despite that, the whole mechanic’s a fail. There obviously needs to be a reward attached that makes it better than a non-Outcast card, but Outcast is so ridiculously easy to activate that it may just as well be the card’s normal effect. NEVER have I seen a DH - or MYSELF when I play as DH - have to make an inefficient move to move an Outcast card to the side (and I know, I can’t see the DH’s hand, but note I also included myself when I play as DH, and inefficient moves really aren’t hard to spot).
And only on top of all that of course comes the problem you describe: it works with a hand of just 1 or 2 cards. Something DH excels at because it’s THE card barf class.
Let’s ask Blizzard for another nerf then. Kill the class you think you shouldn’t lose game to.

One half of outcast is dumb – the half that awards top-decking.
It’s a legitimate penalty in Control DH decks it’s just that those barely exist. Shame they were determined to make DH so aggressive and still wanted to give it Outcast as a mechanic.

Outcast prevents control from using it as you will have high cost cards in hand you cant use. So thats a mechanic an archtype can never use so DH is stuck being aggro 4 life.
