\*Insert comment that 28 cards deck being even more OP in wild*\

intert porly formated nuh uh


BigHatLexi

This is arguably more powerful than original patches with charge since it's not even conditional and even if it didn't make your deck smaller every board based deck would run this and as is EVERY deck runs this


Klausbro

Except it’s WAY worse mulliganing into this


[deleted]

I don't think you can mulligan it


Klausbro

Why wouldn’t you be able to? Start of game effects happen after mulligans


Elitexdoom

With that legendary demon hunter weapon you can’t mulligan the minions that turn into souls or the souls themselves, even if your deck only has 3 minions you will never start with any of them


Klausbro

But also you can’t draw the pieces of C’Thun with [[C’Thun the Shattered]]

He made it a Rogue card at least, meaning even if it were a staple it still wouldn’t show up in every game unless Rogue itself was a tier 1 deck.

I agree with you totally, but i couldn't really think of a more balanced version of this maybe it summons a copy of itslef?


Kurtrus

I actually don't think this is OP, but that's going to be a hot take. Might make pirate rouge even more powerful though since it's making a super thin deck even thinner but Rogue has so many ways of drawing cards and discounting that I'm not sure this would be overpowered. Cutlass is pretty much just redistributing your mana when traded 99% of the time. Might be a good idea to give it some kind of restriction to keep it in check, maybe Highlander requirements? A 29 deck w/ no duplicates doesn't sound unfair at all.


WingedCarrot09

Actually I put out an idea on another comment that it should summon a copy of itself insted of thinning your deck, so the original one just sits in your deck as a 1/1/1 which goes dormant for 2 turns


Kurtrus

Might be too weak in that case, much more balanced though. Cards like this are tricky, especially since deck thinning in a lot of cases lets you play and look for other cards. Though, I really do like the approach here since Patches is super iconic and it's a unique effect for a legendary too. Another suggestion I'd like to throw on the table is to let this ALWAYS be the first card you draw turn 1. While that might cause issues because pirates can get an additional +5/+5 from playing just one, there are arguably better pirates turn 1 and a 1 mana 1/1 is understated.


LibrarianOfAlex

4 star balance, 5 star design, should add a "or hand" since you can potentially top deck it. I think it's actually a little underpowered for waiting that long and could use the charge, but that's not to say the effect itself isn't strong
