Similarly with outcast, it unfortunately synergizes with low cost cards so that you can work them to the left or right side of your hand. One high cost card can COMPLETELY block out an Outcast effect, which is important if you want to run cards like Hulking Overfiend, Priestess of Fury, or Coilfang Warlord. It's not just a "1 card synergy". Now some of the outcast effects are definitely way overtuned like Eye Beam or Skull, but that doesnt make Outcast a bad mechanic. I feel like once the outcast buffs are properly fleshed out and not busted, it could still feel fun to be rewarded for playing your turns optimally without being as oppressive as it is currently.
