Because it becomes active on the opponent's turn (unless you're forcing the opponent to draw cards on your turn) it's pretty easily dealt with via hard removal.

Further update:
They're not 1 mana 1/1 candle creatures like the ones you get from Kara Kazam.
They're a 4 mana spell (Darkness Candle) that forces you to cast it when drawn and which then draws another card. So they have a little bit of a Loatheb-like effect to them that will make hard removal more difficult. Also they cost enough that they can't be removed by Hemet, Jungle Hunter.
Also I can't wait for the first highlight where someone plays Loatheb and then the opponent draws one of these, forcing the opponent to immediately spend nine mana. Ouch.

Does that mean that these:
Cost you 5 mana when drawn?
Because that makes the whole Deck of Wonders thing, SUCK.
I'd more expect that these cards don't cost mana when they cast themselves.

The Candles do NOT cost mana when they are drawn:
See 1:08:50, roughly, for a candle being drawn.

Expansion comes out in just two days. You may want to clear out most/all of your quests tomorrow to make enough room for any special quests the expansion might bring.

And evolve gets even worse
Is Evolve going to even be in standard much longer? I thought it was an Old Gods mechanic. So they're just screwing it up in Wild for no reason.
Death knight will around for 2 years more still.
Evolve as a mechanic is still a big part of shaman
There are still cards coming out in this very set that use the evolve mechanic
I don't like this set so I haven't been learning the cards much.
Though it occurs to me I'd better start learning as I'm still going to have to play against the damn things.

The Trapped Room can take it's traps, fold them until they're all sharp corners, and... 
Just play Dungeon Run forever.
Realized I should at least buy 10 packs for the legendary.

Poe tried to warn me, but I wouldn't listen, had to try it a few times for myself--Warlock quest is still weak.
Also, everyone seems to be playing Paladins and Hunters tonight.

Well, now we know the real reason why Charge was nerfed.
Also now we need to see the Misdirection/Mayor Noggenfogger highlights.

I got a golden Rin the First Disciple. I think Hearthstone really is trolling me with the golden cards it gives me.
I am loving the dungeon run mode right now. Some of the bosses can be kind of unfair if you are not preparing for them with your picks. The darkness is just wrecking me. I've beat it once but the other times I have fatigued it and then it board clears a couple turns it a row and I die before it can fatigue to death. (which is a lot of turns with 70 health)
Overall though most of the bosses are great with cute little gimmicks
Anyway I have a great warlock deck right now. I picked big minions get reduced to 5 cost. Then I got 4 mountain giants so turn two I can tap and play a zero mana mountain. Follow that up with tap and play 2 more giants and its basically over.

Time for another priest deck.
I need another nine slots just for my priest decks.
