In the 0.9.3 patch notes, regarding to change to The Harrowing, the LoR devs explained that:
Generally, we don’t want players stealing or utilizing opposing champions. LoR’s champion-centric design and deckbuilding can make it extremely frustrating to have your own champions used against you
Meanwhile, the new set brings with it cards that can "draw from the enemy deck".
My problem with such cards is that they don't specify drawing non-champion cards, meaning that, however RNG-based, it's theoretically possible for these cards to draw champions from your opponent's deck.
The fact that it's not marked as a keyword has me worried though.
If this is true, I really don't like that design choice.
Yeah yeah, I know. "But it's not out yet!" "Wait and see."
Seeing as these cards aren't available to play with yet, I sincerely hope I'm wrong about this. Or at least that you can't draw enemy champions from their deck until they have no more non-champion cards remaining.
I may be jumping the gun too soon, but I would rather raise this potential red flag now and be wrong than say nothing and let a potentially hazardous oversight go undetected / unaddressed.
However, if I'm correct about this mechanic allowing you to draw enemy champions, it feels like the kind of RNG-related oversight that doesn't happen very often, but is incredibly frustrating, demoralizing, and not fun when it does happen, somewhat similar to (but perhaps not as egregious as) the old Troop of Elnuks when one player lucked into pulling 2+ additional Elnuks from their deck at no extra cost.
