    Im actually not too sure how to rate this card.

    On one hand it actually does what warlock wants to do, which is to gain life and dealing face damage is decent if not a good bonus. But its high cost make this a little forbidding. Because assuming most controlock decks would play curses, where does this card even fit in?

    Its only redeeming factor is that its not a bad card at all. In fact, its good enough that even playing it doesn't feel all that wrong. But the only deck I can see this appear in is XL decks.

    I imagine this most likely isn't staying alive more than one turn, but damaging the enemy hero and healing yours for 6 should be pretty good if you can use the healing. It's a source of even more healing if you opponent doesn't use spells and trades their minions to kill this.

    Well, ofc this is a must kill minion due to the free Death Strike at the end of each turn. I'm glad this minion cost 8 mana coz it's definitely more aggro orientated but could also help you stabilized if you're almost dead. Might see play in a control warlock of some sorted, doubt it'll see play in Curse Implock though.

    (8) mana seems like a lot for this card, but the effect is pretty valuable and does help you survive, so it isn't completely a waste of your (8) mana. Seems like a good control tool to have on hand, as well as a must kill for your opponent.

    Imagine giving Warlock a worse Ragnaros in 2022.

    HOly shit, just print some whacky Discard support, at least that's fun.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    It's a one turn vampiric effect for 6 that costs 8 mana... it's semi-vulnerable to most classes, and Gods know that no one would want to run into it with their minion(s) and give you more health back... I'm on the fence.  As a die hard lock player, I want to like this... I really really do.  The cost is the killer for me since you wouldm't necessarily put it in an aggro deck, and there are other options for control that are more cost effective.

    Seems good because you can cheat it out with Amorphous Slime, buff it with Twisted Tether and ress it with Infantry Reanimator. This might be a mini-sleeper card that will be quite good, but not broken. 

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    I think this card will be great, since it enables some fun OTKs or combos in wild. Like this one below, should be possible and rather easy to pull off.

     

    Baron Rivendare 4 mana (3)

    Drakkari Enchanter 3 mana (2)

    [Hearthstone Card (Amorphus Slime) Not Found] -> Dar'Khan Drathir 5 mana (4)

    Shallow Grave on [Hearthstone Card (Amorphus Slime) Not Found] 2 mana (1)

    14 mana (9)

    = 4 x Dar'Khan Drathir + 1 x  Drakkari Enchanter
    = 4 X (6 x 2)
    = 48 damage

    One tick of Emperor Thaurissan or reduction from Runed Mithril Rod should be enough. or reduction from Tome Tampering + imp.

    Obviously, you can't have other undead in hand, but that could be handled easily with proper deck building.

    Really like the art and the idea behind this one, just not sold on how good it'll be.
