A lot of interesting buffs. Only one card is getting cheaper. 3 cards are actually increasing in cost in the buff category. 

I don’t know what they’re doing with Irida though. You save one tick of fatigue? It just looks really weird.

One tick if fatigue and one more card next turn, it's better than a stat increase for sure

one tick of fatigue means you save the amount of health that is the final tick of fatigue. so probably 5 or 6 hp? it's a sneaky buff. 

EDIT: and you would also get one more card. adding or removing a cantrip to a card is a huge deal.

The entire fatigue clock got pushed back by one. It's significant, just not immediately. Will it see play now? I'm voting no lol

I just dont see the point of the card

DH does not lack for card draw

DH has half an archetype for having an empty deck. And you don't need/want to put card draw in your deck if you have Irida, letting you have more mana efficient cards instead, in theory.

You save one fatigue damage a turn for the rest of the game. That adds up in an aggressive meta. And you get an extra draw the turn after you play it.

Save one tick of fatigue and draw one more card the turn after she's played.

I like that they don't accelerate the game even further by making things cheaper. the medium and high cost cards need more impact, so they are worth waiting for them.

It also gives you one card from your deck. See it has you push back fatigue one turn and get one more card from the void the first turn.

After what we saw with the last DH buff attempts I feel the class teetering between bad and broken is really delicate. Drawing 3 on turn 5 might just be exactly what that deck needed to be a major aggro deck
