I love him, he is precious to me.
Guess that justifies the 7-mana spell
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
and yet it's only good with it.. played from hand this never survives.
Works with the 7 Mana spell and maybe cards like Animated Broom to give it rush. Without rush it usually won't be very good.
Works well with the 7 mana Druid/Hunter spell, but I'm not confident that is enough to warrant running this card. The times you draw it it becomes too slow and clunky to play.
Not likely to see play, based upon other cleave minions that have been printed. This is the cheapest ever neutral cleave minion though, so maybe I'm missing something?
This post is discussing the wild format.
Probably not going to be played in constructed. Maybe in arena, but I don't really see any use for him. As 90% of the people on this thread have been very adamant to mention, it has synergy with Guardian Animals, but other than that it isn't good. And you could just as easily find another beast for Guardian Animals that is better to play from hand.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
I'm still waiting for Cleave to become a keyword, and also Elusive for that matter.
This is going to be really good in Arena, but probably not in Constructed where it's too reliant on surviving a turn for it to be good.
More like lake trash!
But not really, as someone posted above, it works well with the 7 mana spell from hunter and druid that summons 5 mana beasts with rush.
Guardian Animals, certified great with this card.
Decent stats, cleave, and its a beast. Very good stuff.
But outside of given rush, this is just an arena card. And I wouldn't put this in my deck just to make guardian animals sometimes work. But the potential is there, and in hearthstone that's already above average for a card.
you forget the 1-mana Hunter/DH weapon that forces minion attacks.
That one's absolutely huge with this.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I realy like the art!
Decent card but i guess it is only realy good if you summon it from the deck ! played from the hand i guess this will most likely never survive for the next attack.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
But then you don't have the druid spell you are running a card that can't really be played in constructed cause of 2 card combo? It's a good 2 card combo but it's incosistant. Specially cause hunter lacks draw.
Need to be played with Guardian Animals to see it potentials. Otherwise it's just too slow for everybody.
Amazing with Guardian Animals, and good in hunter & druid. Mainly in the control variants of the decks. Also we generally don't see cleave cards often, so finally seeing some good cleaves is really nice! I'm looking forward to experimenting with this card already!
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
You won't mind getting this from Apexis Blast, but you probably won't put it in your deck.

I don't think that this card is strong enough to be played in constructed. But this will be a perfect new minion for Bg
I never know what to think about this type of cards. Only usable with the DK
Love cleave effects

Decent with Guardian Animals, but I don't think it will make the cut.
The ideal scenario for this is to pull it off of Guardian Animals, but I don't think that spell will be very good in the upcoming meta. Not having a way to immediately activate the cleave makes this minion so much weaker as well.
For glory, honor, and gold!
It seems that druid is the only viable class to put this in. Without handbuffing or pulling this from your deck you don't really want to play this i think.
Meta definitely!

Meant to be used with Guardian Animals, as shown on stream. I just don't think that's enough.
Thats like double the stats from Cave Hydra so I'd call it a powercreep
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
You know, this might not be horrible in duel paladin. Pull this, hopefully destroy the enemy minion and their right-most one, plus it's a midgame body to play that could luckily clear the board if played with Wave of Apathy.
Nah, not that good.
Meh stats, effect can be nice but nothing exciting
All hail the banshee queen.
The only reason this might see play is because of Guardian Animals, but I don't think it's the best beast to combo with it so I don't think it will see much play.
Will probably see play with Guardian Animals, but that's about it. In fact, without this card, I'm not sure Guardian Animals is playable.
Outside of big beast Hunter/Druid, I don't see this ever being relevant.
4/6 are okay stats for 5 mana, and this minion is probably really strong in the arena.
That said, it's a little slow in standard, since your opponent will have a turn to either remove it or arrange taunts so it doesn't clear 3 minions.
It works VERY well with the Guardian Animals spell Hunters and Druids have, summoning this and another 5 mana best from your deck and giving them rush, allowing you to use it's cleave ability on the turn it hits the board.
Druids will be able to buff the minion in deck with Embiggen to make it a sturdy 6/8 for 5, and Hunter's draw spell Scavengers ingenuity grants +2/+2 also if drawn, and scrap shot can make this a 7/9 if played on curve.
Nice cleave effect for arena.
Nice beast that I reckon will see some play.
Tried in different sizes and classes already with no success. Don't think making it neutral or this big will solve it.
If this one is protected behind a taunt/pseudo-taunt, and your opponent has no boardclear (like rogue, paladin, hunter) this can stick. And then you've won! (But you'd also win with any other card.)
Since it is neutral, other classes can use it: warrior has the "give a minion rush" (called charge) card, which really fits here. Mage can freeze the board, and play this like a doomsayer for next round. Druid and paladin can hide this behind a taunt. But I guess it is hardly playable for DH,hunter or rogue.
Everyone is saying this will only be played with Guardian Animals but there's also evolve, discover, random card generation and arena xD
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Basically needs a second card to be remotely playable, and even with that second card it’s not that great
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Nice effect for big enough body especially with the 7 mana summon 2 beasts druid spell
-=alfi=-
Too slow.
Can be good with rush/charge, but that card is bad in constructed.
By The Holy Light!
Imagine a 4/6 being 'too slow' for today's meta, comparable to
What a time for meta.
With Guardian Animals this card have rush too.
Easy semi board clear. Good card imho
Good Guardian Animals synergy.
Thanks to denial, I'm immortal.
Cleave effects are rare (justifiably), but this could be played in a few decks, but it will probably not be a meta-defining card.
What happens when a Cave Hydra goes swimming?!
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.
A beast with cleave? Looks fun and effective to me. I'll be most interested to see who can use this well besides hunter.

Strong Arena card, perhaps Hunter or Druid will have new Beast archetype decks and if so, this would shine there.
Getting this as Zombeast from Deathstalker Rexxar.... yummie :P
edit: wait! which is the current state of this?? Rexxar is getting beasts from differents years than when he was in standard?

Is it weird that I think it's kind of cute? Don't think it's too strong, but it being a Beats helps immensely, so it may find its way into Druid and Hunter decks.
