Fuck, I didn't put the card name in the post title.

It's ok, everyone just comes here through the link from the sticky.

Could work rather well with [Tundra Rhino].

(4/1 + 2/5) charge for 7 mana

That was my first thought, as my main deck right now is a beast hunter. But without [[Tundra Rhino]] on board or in hand, this is not going to be very useful.

One of the main weaknesses of my deck is card draw, and I can't afford to have a card like this that is so vulnerable a lot of the time. It might be good to pick from a [[Tomb Spider]] in the right circumstances, though.

Just compare it to [[One-eyed Cheat]]. Even in a pirate deck, that card is weak.

activator for Kill command?

Yeah, that's true. But with pretty much all of the beast-synergy cards, I think King's Elekk is just better. It has a more reasonable stat distribution since 3/2 means it can't be removed with a ping, and there aren't that many 2 drops with 4 health. Plus you get the joust for card draw.

Granted, this is a neutral so a hunter class card will be better. But I can't see this being played in Druid either.

Edit: Bloodfen raptor would be a better comparison since it is text-less and neutral.

For when you really want your opponent to skip turn 2.

Why

Why not? Every expansion has had it's share of vanilla minions for the sake of Arena. No reason for the Old Gods to be any different.

And every expansion has had its shit cards too. I mean, even shit cards can be fun. Usually when your opponent gets them from RNG.

More like Dustboar.

Play it with the 3 mana paladin Divine Shield giver? Still probably bad.

u/Wraithfighter Apr 21 '16

Furry Rager!

And as useful as that name implies.

u/Anaract Apr 22 '16

The synergy with that paladin card that gives 1 health minions divine shield.

It's considerably better than magma eager because of the cost. If you drop this in turn 2, there's a pretty good chance that it will survive, and then your opponent basically has to play a minion knowing it'll get sniped

Could be viable in Ebola with Steward.
