Darkshire Librarian

Darkshire Librarian is a rare warlock minion card, from the Whispers of the Old Gods set.

Strategy
While this card has a strong Deathrattle, the unpredictable nature of its discard effect is a heavy downside, often negating or even outweighing the card draw. It can be turned to the player's advantage though, with discard-related effects like Tiny Knight of Evil, Fist of Jaraxxus, and Malchezaar's Imp. In combination with any of those, this card has a "positive" Battlecry, a positive deathrattle, and is decently statted.

If this card is played while your hand is empty, it is essentially a more powerful Loot Hoarder.
