This might just be the most foul, cruel and bad tempered rodent I have ever laid my eyes on...
This ain't no place for a hero
kill three minion for 10 mana ? seems not so useful ...
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
even that Hunter Card [Hearthstone Card (Vilebrood Skitterer) Not Found] is better at this. But I still won't play it for the cost.
maybe we'll get something to reduce it's cost.
Knowledge is Power
Don't worry. I am sure we will get a Holy Hand Grenade card revealed soon. And if not, we could always try to taunt it so that it becomes very angry and makes a mistake
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Maybe won't be played, but you can still get this by transform or evolve shenanigans.
What's the most powerful card in Hearthstone?
A credit card.
I know it seems crazy, but the fact that this card is neutral makes me think it may actually see some play somewhere.
One of the weirdest combinations of stats and cost I've seen. I don't get why this card costs 10 mana at all, its effect doesn't seem to warrant doing nothing else on your turn. It might not even clear your opponent's board.
Right now, it just seems like something to mess with evolve effects.
Disregarding the reference, I don't think that this is really very good.
The only time you'd play this is if there was an easy way to cheat it out, and most easy ways to cheat minions out can also be used to cheat out ways of dealing a lot of damage instead.
10 mana is a lot to pay for a removal effect that can't get around taunt.
This post is discussing the wild format.
Seems terrible right now, unless this get some dedicated support cards (discount, evolve?) it is an early contender for the Magma Rager award. Yeah it is neutral, but at best this card removes three minions (and your opponent can play around it quite easily). For 10 Mana this simply does not cut it.
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Maybe a new toy for Rez Priest? It being in ping range removes a lot of other options, such as pulling it with Commencement.
Probably won't see play, and it's here mainly to lower the quality of random 10 drop cards. However i can already forsee a trolden clip incoming of a mage casting Conjurer's Calling on Kalecgos, and generating a Darkmoon Rabbit, which saves that mage player their game by removing several HUGE minions. But overall it's not that good of a minion. And with highlander decks rotating out after the rotation, i feel like there isn't a "Highlander decks might love this minion, if their starved for big clears" excuse to call this card decent...
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.
As a minion, it can be resurrected, so I think it could see play in THAT archetype
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
In wild this can be cheated out with Oakheart, allowing you to clear 3 minions a turn faster.
Druid has ways to discount this minion or even just ramp to play it several turns early.
I suspect this minion might find home in a new N'zoth deck - this is a powerful beast to resurrect on turn 10 that can clear at least half of your opponents board. We'll just need to see what other minions you'll run in that deck.
Playing it by itself isn't too great, but there are a few ways to cheat it out that might make it really good. It might not seem too great at first, but there are ways that it can work.
On a side note: They finally printed a 10 mana 1/1. I wasn't sure if they ever would. All we need is a 9 mana 1/1, and it'll be possible to use Unstable Evolution on a Wisp 10 times and all 10 minions will be a 1/1.
Will be interesting if it will actually make it into a decklist or just annoying via random effects :)

I think the only reason this costs 10 is to nerf the evolve pool.
It’s pretty weak, there are better ways to kill 3 minions off for the cost.
Weird card... But I guess there are moments this could come in handy. Easy to play around, just place your taunts wide and you're safe.
Everyone who have seen re:zero season 2 is terrified of this card..
Honestly lol. Even the card art reflects its roots. Amazing that when it was revealed no one in blizz bothered to at least quote a few lines from the show where this came from.
I guess we'll be seeing paladin or priest get holy hand grenades then.
As a card however, its just arena fodder. No one in standard will be playing this unironically. Most 10 drops are expected to do two things if not win you the game; value trade, and go face. This card can do neither, nor can it win you the game too. Any deck that needs a 10 mana removal can and should be expected to do better than kill 3 minions with one card.
Extremely powerful, but too expensive. Plus, it is easily defeated by Divine Shield and several secrets.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
without new support i dont think wild druid will use this at all. a n'zoth druid wants hadranox no other beatss and for oakhearth which isnt really played youd prefer getting the 1/5 that douvles end of turn effects to pull more dragons with taunt from your deck.
No I mean the new N'zoth that summons 1 minion of each type, not the N'zoth that summons Death rattle minions.
and when I mentioned Druid I just meant plain ole "I'm ramping every turn" druid who'll drop a 10 mana minion on like turn 5 or 6 or whatever
It's a massive neutral removal, which I think we haven't really seen before and may warrant the high Cost. As some pointed out, this can be resurrected and used to further control the board. I don't think hope is lost for this card.
"Truth is in the shadows, waiting to be revealed by the light. But light only disperses the shadow." - Me
"If other people shared traits of those considered naive, the world would've become a better place." - Also me
Hadranox is a beast too is the thing
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
It might not be meta in terms of play, but it’s situationally good. Need to clear a few taunts to have a clear path for lethal with the minions already on board? And your opponent’s taunts are all right next to each other?!?! Send in the Rabbit!!!
Team5 has said they work with the idea that every card they design now should at least be playable. And meta depending, this is. It’s not the type of card that’ll automatically see play, but as a tech card if taunt filled control decks popped up, this could win by clearing a taunt or three like I mentioned.
Are there still better options?! Probably! But it’ll likely get played by someone at some point. But not necessarily be a staple in a meta deck(s).
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.
I thought you were being eloquent, before realizing you were flavorful ^^
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Only if the Holy Hand Grenade costs 5 (3, sir!).
"The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"
Or you know, Monty Python where the reference is from :
Obviously, nobody would be happy to pay the 10 mana for it, but cheating it out with Dorian/Plot twist, Darkest hour, Meatwagons, Kobold Illusionists, and what have you is what makes every Johnny's heart beats faster!
I only know 2 memes from that movie (this but a scratch, and the guy who licks a poisoned dagger), I assumed a murderous rabbit wouldn't be unique to re zero, so I guess rezero might have also be inspired from that movie I guess.
Anyway after that episode rabbits scare me.
Great result for evolution, and maybe there's a slim chance you could add it as your only beast in a Darkmoon N'Zoth deck? Probably too weak to see play, though.
I have no idea what that is, but I'm pretty sure this is a reference to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog of Monty Python and the Holy Grail fame.
If you haven't watched Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail then you are really missing out. It's easily one of the funniest, if not the funniest movie I have ever seen.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Meme references and flavor aside, this looks like a filler card.
10 mana to kill 3 minions is usually not worth it.
I think this will only see play as a (mostly) bad outcome evolve or a hail mary evolve.
Then its obvious you havent seen life of brian (from the same guys)
That is definitely the funniest movie to ever exist.
Look at th’ bones!
This seems to bad for 10 mana, maybe at 8 and you could kinda run it with the new N'zoth but I dunno. 10 seems a lot.
okay yeah now I see what they meant. Kinda feel silly now.
Warriors 'n Paladins have that Commencement spell that lets you potentially drag this out at 7 mana
When I used to play wow this boss level critter take a very solid raid to bring it down.
I'm no gonna lie, I waited this card to be a Legendary, and now I am a little frustrated becuase it get only an epic category.
As some people said, with a lot of giants or powerful minions that cost 10 it was designed to dilute an evolution or conjurer calling pool
I'd be scared to start evolving 9-cost minions on an empty board now... :D
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
I"m sure that someone, somewhere, somehow will make a deck that will utilize this card. It may be the only thing that the deck does... but someone will make a 10 mana 1/1 minion killer viable
If more recuirt/mana cheat cards are revealed, that card can see play.
But not actually. :)
By The Holy Light!
I think the situation you want this card over a big minion is pretty situational
Sure, but I was just spit ballin', you wanted to know how to cheat it out and that was the first thing that came to mind
Arena top end removal, but that is about it.

So, lets see, Foe Reaper 4000 can cleave because I believe that's what it does in WoW (not sure, but the name certainly indicates it), Magnataur Alpha can cleave because it has a gigantic swinging weapon, Cave Hydra can cleave because it has three heads and Lake Thresher can cleave because it is a dinosaur with a pretty massive tail.
Darkmoon Rabbit can cleave because.... reasons? Still like the card design, but it makes no sense to be put on a random rabbit.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

Cute effect, pretty strong evolve hit, but I don't think any one is going to run this. Control classes typically already have stronger board clear effects and this seems too slow for only a 3 minion removal, even with the potential for N'zoth shenanigans.
It does seem rather weak even though the effect is definitely strong. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up seeing play somewhere, somehow. Love the flavor though.
agreed
TOTAL CORRUPTION
TOTAL POWAAAAAAA
10 mana kill 3 minions sometimes could be worse could be better I guess with deck of chaos this becomes a mighty force though I guess
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
This doesn't give you any tempo advantage for having to spend your entire turn on it or cheating it out. Instead of removing threats and putting threats into play to create a swing like Reno the Relicologist for example, or removing all threats like Twisting Nether, you spend your entire turn trying to catch up but still end up behind at the end of the turn. No competitive deck will actively run this card by itself.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Stupid card, just sees play because of the dumb achievement.
Not very good, but I can see a scenario where evolving (or revolving) into this can save a game.
10 mana destroy 3 minions is just too slow. Id rather wipe the whole board with twisting or plagues.

I don't think this has much of a future. 10 mana, kill three minions, do nothing else seems steep. Interesting result off evolve mechanics though. And by interesting, I mean could be amazing or could be meh.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Love the reference, and by god am I going to try and make it work with Deck of Chaos, but realistically this is just too big and slow.
Welcome to the site!
Fun card, nice art, thematic, just wish it had divine shield too
All hail the banshee queen.
Good for an achievement. That's the best use I can come up with.
1 star for chances of seeing play, but the only 5 stars that matters is the flavor/reference.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
I love the artwork, but I think this card is just too expensive to be viable.
Nope. I hope I don't open this.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
This will be good mainly with the Deck of Chaos, I think. I doubt I'll play it any other way, but that combo at least should be fun.

Now we just need a Holy Hand Grenade card to counter this crazy rabbit...
It might have seen play if it damaged every minion your opponent controlled (which would be an effect worthy of a 10-drop, but perhaps too powerful considering there are a multitude of ways to pull 10-drops out of the ether). Just way too expensive to answer a handful of your opponent's minions and not even leave a body behind.
