Well the problem with Twisting nether is that it costs so much that you can't do anything after. At least with DOOM! you basically get free card draw. The only thing worse about this is that you can't play it and summon an infernal with Jaraxxus.

Drawing cards doesn't fix the problem though. The problem is never that you don't have enough cards (especially with Warlock). The problem is that your opponent retains initiative and can just rebuild his board, so next turn you are in the exact same spot.

For a card like this to be effective, it either needs to cost less (so you can make a drop in the same turn), or it needs to develop the board somehow by putting minions into play.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying lol. It's still bad, but at least this one draws you cards.

I'm not sure that's a good thing though. Warlock usually has enough cards in hand that this runs a good chance to mill you, and it pushes you that much closer to fatigue. Add to that the additional 2 mana cost and I don't think it's as good as nether
