Calling Mr. Ku'gath. Mr. Ku'gath, there is a call for you on line 2.
First thought that came to my mind.
I dunno, I thought Kith, who has the tools and deckshape for card choke already, and who can run a great DE/chaos Elite deck. Mind you, it'd be hard to displace better cards.
If you are running cards like Ominous Wind you could potentially run one of these cards and be able to dig for it.
Maybe not be that great of a card in the Elite Meta that we are in.
This is for Urien. In an elite meta, good luck working around power from pain. If you are caught with power from pain followed by this, you'll be at a disadvantage against Urien the whole game. (discarding down to 0 cards)
I doubt it's for DE or Eldar. Most playable alites they have access to have 5 cost. and 5 cards is not enough, especially for late game. So currently I see it only in Kugath elites, with his Helldrakes
If you have no Units in play, do you have to discard any cards? I only ask because if you have no Units to compare Cost to, you don't go to step 2 of discarding cards?
If you do not have to discard, I could see the following scenario happening:
DE goes first, first Action play Workshop.
Opponent now does the following if he has no deploy stall:
1. Plays big Juicy Elite - you potentially counter with Power from Pain
2. Plays a 1~2 Cost unit - use Workshop make them discard down to 1~2 Cards, and you do not have to as you have no units in play
3. Player 2 Passes because better to have cards in hand and none on field then having a Rogue Trader in play and no hand.
EDIT 1: I R Dumb, it is a Headquarters Action so the above cannot really happen.
EDIT 2: I posted this question to the Rules forum
