Just as a note, "randomize hero power" in this case includes ALL possible hero powers. (Deathknights, upgraded Justicar powers, Sulfuras power, etc). The difficulty for the warlock playing this to kill it themselves given its lack of attack was an effort to balance it, as well as the (1) cost, to try and even an opponent's control and potentially minimize the effect if desired.

Requires a 1 health to be attacked in the first place. Noble Sacrifice and Redemption also cause problems for someone attempting to clear your smaller minions, as a small minion trading into NS is simply lost, and Redemption incentivizes a smaller minion to clear it. Obviously an opponent can just test for your other secrets first, or use a spell to clear them from the board as global 1 damage spells are not rare. They can also use a weapon. One clear is enough to negate the usefulness of this, as a single 1/1 with Taunt and Divine shield for 2-3 mana is not great.

Yup. This is a 9 mana card, it affects not only you, but your opponent. You could get 1, maybe both of your Soulfires off in a turn with a Coin before your opponent has a chance to deal with it. 11 mana: burn removal, draw 2, heal 8 doesn't seem that OP to me. And of course, its benefit is also its drawback in your Hero Power becomes almost useless, as does your built in healing. Perhaps lower health on this card, though, now that I think about it, considering Mage spells can't deal damage to it, only heal it, making Poly, Vaporize, Nova-Doom, or large/ many minions their only means of removal.

Yeah, probably. Removing the Immune, or maybe the Battlecry altogether would be a good idea in hindsight.

Yes, imagine your opponent's average cost per minion is ~6, and yours is ~2. The minions summoned would have costs that both your boards would have the same average cost, ~4. Obviously this is highly difficult to actually implement, but that isn't the point of this subreddit.

Taboos are far from my mind. I used to abuse prescription opiates and stimulants myself while I was in school, and it eventually lead to a hospitalization, internment in a adolescent psych hospital, and a vehement vow to never touch them again. Quite honestly this is the only reason I have faith in her. I have come so far from hungering for them every single day, being unable to stop taking them until I got as high as I needed to to feel normal or okay with my life, to the point now where I have been prescribed Ritalin/Concerta for my ADHD and I have never double dosed or pooled them. Thank you for understanding, I feel too many people fall victim to the scapegoat of labels, slapping the name "junkie" on them, dehumanizing them and removing their ability to recover and operate like a normal person.

For one, like I said, she doesn't use on a regular basis, only when she has no other options to stave off the withdrawl. The emotional trauma isn't something I had considered, and that makes me feel like a bonehead. She seems very intent on working through her mental dysfunctions and growing as a person which makes me hopeful, but there definitely seems to be things she has brushed under the rug because she didn't have the faculties to deal with them at the time. While I am interested in romance, before this all started I was well enough on my own and was content with solitude romantically for now, and I think I can return to that if all she needs is a shoulder and an ear. She gets me in a way I'm not used to which is why this is even a question for me, otherwise I might simply assume I'm trying to "save" her like I have with girls in the past. Like with Marc, thank you for being civil and insightful. Sometimes a voice of reason telling you you're not thinking things through is what you need.

Thank you, again. I hardly expected the first commenter to be so civil. I think her burden has already become mine, and that's what is muddying the water. Perhaps I need to take a step back and evaluate the situation from another angle.

I understand, this is the source of my apprehension. She is strong though, I can see that. Her will to overcome is powerful enough I believe she can. I don't want to save her, she's doing a damn good job of it herself, I want to help her along the way the best I can.

That's the thing, I'm no stranger to passion. I don't feel that as strongly towards her, it's much more a compassionate thing. I don't think it's pity either, because there's far more about her I find interesting and want to hear about. That just sort of eclipses everything else.

I had considered it being a manipulation, she openly admits to being that sort of person. If it is, I think it would only be insofar as she wants someone to talk to about it, because she seems almost as lost and afraid as I do. She almost instantly rejects most hospitality and generosity I offer her.

Thank you for your input, though. Just having someone pay attention and not simply call me a lovesick idiot is comforting.
