2/2


A pretty cool card for a discard deck. 3 thats a possible 4/4 with fear + having your opponent discard a card.. pretty cool.

Ain't a late game card either so as if it's 4 or 5 mana when your opponent pros already played all the cards in their hand.

The Duck's Rating: 3/5

A nice card for a discard deck, as long as you can get them to discard a card each turn. 2/5

 

[Sergay Wang]

Not particularly good.

Discard decks almost always lose steam or the opponent will just go into Top-Deck Mode, which has on many occassions lead to victory.

2/5
