Battlegrounds minion in constructed? 😱This will technically keep attacking till it's dead or until no more enemy minions on board, much like Deathwing, Mad Aspect
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Unless there is some good Frenzy synergy, this will likely never see play. This is just Rush, only random and requires extra steps to pull off. You would be better off running almost any other removal spell.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
I don't frenzy will proc after hitting face.
Its basically a rush minion which allows your opponent to sometimes decide for it.
Is a 5 mana 5/6 rush good? Probably not in standard. Unfortunately, since frenzy doesn't trigger more than once, I'm hard pressed to see this as anything else other than arena fodder.
I think the best way to look at the value of a random attack would be Imprisoned Felmaw, which is fairly strong despite being on a 2-turn delay. This runs into the problem that it costs a lot more for an effect that is not a lot better.
I imagine that any frenzy synergy will probably be more based around triggering it easily than letting you refresh frenzy on your minions. I don't think they've ever printed an effect that replenishes 1-time effects.
This post is discussing the wild format.
Good for Arena - i guess decent for standard but not sure tough. Looks ok but depending on what decks will emerge out of the New Expansion and stuff this could be better then expected.

Pack Filler power creep, RIP Pit Fighter
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Actually Frenzy only triggers the first time it takes damage and survives, so its luckely not so bad
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.
Seems like a worse/neutral [Hearthstone Card (Imprisoned Fellmaw) Not Found]. Oh and in this case it's a worse version of Rush. Seems only good for arena, and that's it i think. Unless they print some insane Frenzy synergy card.

Are we sure frenzy procs only once? If it doesn't this card + inner rage + bladestorm on an empty board = profit
Looks like a good arena card, mages can ping It for an inmediate attack.
By The Holy Light!
5 mana, and does nothing when it's played? I'm not having a lot of hope for this card. I guess it might be good with Animated Broomstick, or all the ways warrior has to damage their own minions. Can't say no to 5 free damage to face (maybe).
On its own this seems not that good. However, I could see some crazy OTK in Wild using Carnivorous Cube to summon a bunch of these guys, then pinging them all at once.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
If Warriors have Inner Rage in the core set, then I can see a serious case for this card having competitive viability. Pseudo-charge effects shouldn't be discounted like with Imprisoned Felmaw; however, Razormane Raider costs more and its effect isn't self-contained like Felmaw. While I'm not saying that Raider is a great aggressive midgame option, I am weary of labelling it as pack filler.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Windfury, only .... not
See in arena, pick in arena.
All generalizations are false.
This dude parties too.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Weak sadly. I wish that these 5/6 stat lines were enough at this point but they aren't, and the effect is minimal even if it goes off. More often than not this will die in one hit though.
On paper, looks like an underwhelming card for me. This feels like dropping a vanilla minion on turn 5 which has no immediate effect. The only upside it can land an additional hit to face if your opponent can't kill it in 1 go.
She was worth absolutely nothing while she lasted
These guys don't seem that great, but also not the bad either. I'm sure someone smarter than me will come up with a Wild combo deck that uses these and hand buffs to somehow OTK an opponent.
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.
Not particularly exciting, but maybe it will be useful in a self-damaging warrior deck of some sort.
Not the worst, with the lack of burst damage in the new core set this may be where aggro decks have to stoop for a potential finisher, seeing as it can hit face with it's Frenzy proc
Is this just a fancier chillwind yeti?
Well, the vanilla cards these days are much stronger than they used to be. That's nice!
In WoW, do the Razormanes and Quilboars do anything with beasts? Despite never having played the game, that feels natural, and I was thinking that we might see a few in Hunter or Druid.
Better call Thrall!
Does Frenzy work on enemy turns?
-=alfi=-
packfiller, maybe for arena
A possible fun counterplay to explosive trap, I think we'll see a couple of lethal clips with it
great arena card but dont think it will see any play in standart
Not true - she was worth 5 dust.

I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.
Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
no rush? I don't think it will be useful ...
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Good for Arena only!
Could be good some of the time but feels pretty weak. Might be useful in Arena I guess.
Disclaimer: if the above is factually incorrect or complete rubbish it is definitely both intentional and comedy genius.
That screams arena card to me.
Average
It's a filler queen :D
Don't think this will be viable.
F I L L E R
Very fun effect! It effectively has charge if it attacks a minion that doesn't kill it and there are no other minions on the board!
Vanilla minion that will see play in arena .We haven't seen all the cards from the expansion maybe we will see a card that generates other cards when frenzy is activated.
Good enough to see experimentation, great in arena. Not convinced but I would like to see where this goes.
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Looks like a decent Midrange Minion to me. Like, it has good stats for its cost and can go 2-for-1. Or it can go Face in an Aggro/Midrange mirror when trading, helping with the Face-Race.

Underwhelming
Good Arena pick? Idk

Razormane Raider is surprisingly playable with Animated Broomstick - if you line your trades up right, he could clear an enemy and deal 5 to face. That's probably not enough to get this card to see play, but it's something.
Pack filler. Needs to be activated on your turn or just a waste of card space. Not impressed.
Seems quite underwhelming
Rogue DH
Too slow for aggro decks, too "do nothing" for a control deck. Typical card who is not bad but fits nowhere.
Murlocs <3
Can be played as top-end for some kind of Aggro deck, but most likely just pack filler.
RIP Pit Fighter. Neutral 5 mana 5/6 with upside (although the upside may not always be preferable to activate).
It doesn't seem like it does too much, but it could possibly be used to get some extra face damage in some type of Aggro deck. Likely not though.
I'm sure someone will make an OTK deck in Wild. Empty board of opponent, 6 Razormane Raider, a Whirlwind effect, 30 damage. Probably will require so many mana reduction by Emperor Thaurissan.
Razormane Raider + Carnivorous Cube + 2x Faceless Manipulator + Deathwing
Empty board and 6 Razormane Raider lol. Since you discard your hand, you might also need Scourgelord Garrosh's hero power or something like Explosive Sheep to trigger Frenzy.
Plague of Flames or Cataclysm could also work as a cheaper option.
OBLIVION!
Not too interesting at first can be sleeper tho!
Yeah, was looking for the arena comments to not repost, but I really don't see this card anywhere else.
One of the more exciting pack fillers for me. Probably won't end up seeing play as it makes no instant impact but the potential of trading twice in one turn is there, and I like it.
Maybe they will create a Tavern Brawl where you can't use class cards. That's where I see this card doing some work.
Or if you think a "7-mana 5/5 Battlecry: Attack a random enemy" is good, that's what this is in Mage.
On turn 6 with Animated Broomstick it´s like rush/windfury board clear
This looks like a good card for warrior with enrage cards, possibly hunter.
Arena card, and a solid one at that.
Feels the type of card that or you deal with it, or a highroll might happen.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
On paper, or the digital equivalent, it seems rather weak with a minimal effect if it triggers.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
Stats are ok, nothing really special about it. Arena filler.
Pack filler? Maybe not, I cannot tell.
Seems too weak. Stats are meh, but imprisoned fell hound is much better
I think it looks hopeful, but unless the new meta is significantly slower, then it is not fast enough.
I guess you can say that Pit Fighter is "in trouble now".
I'll see myself out.
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)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
I doubt this will see any play in Wild, but this would be fun to play alongside Animated Broomstick to get two attacks the turn it is played. I also expect to see this card on Trolden; someone with a Knife Juggler on board is going to play an important combo piece when their opponent has a full health Razormane Raider, then be sad.
I rated this card three stars because it can be good coupled with cheap self damage cards such as Inner Rage and Backstab. However, even then it just feels like a lesser rush minion since it attacks a random enemy when the effect procs with the occasional face hit. I see potential for the card if a deck is able to clear the board consistently for this minion to hit face.
Ribbit
This make me question their showcased selection to promote the set ...
This isn't exactly glamorous - it just shows how far HS has come for base statline since vanilla tho
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
They always have something kind of basic in the first reveal. Cult Neophyte was one of the first Scholomance cards they showed off. Also, Ticking Abomination was the only KFT card we knew for a few days.
A man is lying on the street, some punks chopped off his head
I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.
Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
Isn't this the newest good stats for the cost?
really strong in enrgae warrior and some slower aggro
this card makes me really hate that frenzy is a one-time-only keyword. it would be crazy to be able to trigger frenzy multiple times.
Could be interesting to ping this as a mage and have it go straight face against an enemy.
Eh seems vanilla. Possible combos if you can give it rush where it can clear a small minion and go face - but probably unless frenzy has specific support this might be a pack filler
Fair remarks, so I guess I'll rephrase : these make me question their ability at selecting cards for a promotion ^^
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Not bad for arena, can clean up several threats easily.
Pit Fighter +
The fact that you have to deal 6 damage or if you deal less one of your minions dies or even take 5 damage to face is really good.
Sick
Amazing arena card, will pick this :)
Great against low attack minions
Just a rush minion imo, don't we have enough of those already.
I'm not online it's just your imagination
Turn 5 quasi-Rush. Great for Control Damage Warrior?
I think it's quite good. Especially for aggro decks- clear one smallish minion, and then get 5dmg to a random enemy- Basically deal 5dmg twice, and with any luck you get to keep a body.
Decent in arena and pretty meh in standard. It could find a home in some decks which have access to cheap damage triggers, but surely you'd just take a rush minion instead.
Started playing HS in May, 2015. The bad news: I missed the excitement of 'Naxx out?' and GvG. The good news: I never met an Undertaker.
Weak new keyword minion like in every expansion.
Pack filler. Might resemble Imprisoned Felmaw a bit, but it comes really late, and in reality you're just hoping for it to get an unreliable Windfury. Bad.
Awesome arena card
I feel about this card the same way i feel about automatic cars.
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
It could play some werid combos on wild, maybe in druid with the gelatinous cube and/or that 10 mana spell that buffs everything...
For The HORDE!
Feels like pack filler
Good stats for the cost !
but will only see plays on combo decks, if there is any
Pack-filler, but its pretty spicy for pack-filler. The frenzy effect makes it kind of annoying to remove since you need 6+ damage or hard removal to prevent the free 5 damage it deals otherwise. Also curious how this works with Freeze effects.
Could work ok, but needs something to give it rush. So maybe an ok include with a rush-heavy deck that also includes animated broomstick. But why use broomstick if already a rush deck. Fun idea, but don't know if it will show up in standard
At least it's not understatted. Looking forward to the Trolden clips of this guy killing people through a wall of Taunts.
I feel like this is pack filler at best. Maybe can get some use when generated, or in arena? I don't play arena so not sure.
It's a good amount of stats? Idk I don't think you'll run it unless you really care about the frenzy. Maybe in an enrage warrior?
very godo card whit broomstick and if it is in bg even better
broomstick synergy
Has potential in some face deck I guess.
Banned for spamming.
Too slow... pack filler, unless there is some really self damage centric deck that needs a somewhat fat body

Too weak since it's only a one time effect
Top end finisher for aggro? Can see a lot of deck options for it otherwise.
Give him rush and he'd be alright. Nothing flashy but a 5/6 body is decently to two for one.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
An alright arena card for sure, but will pretty likely never see play in standard.
Stats are OK. In standard mode nothing promising; in Arena mode, O.
Good card for aggro decks!
power creep of Pit Fighter. I don't see why someone need to play this card istead of some rush minion. Filler card unless there will be some crazy combo with it
Garbage. Basically Pit Fighter, but sometimes gets an extra attack to face. Opponent can sometimes setup a kill on it by triggering effect in their favor.
I think any rating of new keyword cards is just a shot in the dark for everyone. We will have to see how Frenzy plays out before giving this a good evaluation.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Arena card
solid synergy with warrior enrage mechanics
i think this is an arena card but i dont usually play it i dont know if it can be a good card there too
At least your opponent risks face damage. Maybe bring this out past 5-mana.
Not that good
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Decent arena pick
Good enough for Arena, nuff said.
Arene card? with rush this would be 5/5.
just ok, although decent stat line.
Good arena card, but in standard... maybe not enough
This card is stronger than it looks, yet won't see any play outside of Arena. The effect is very aggressive, but the mana cost is too expensive for aggro decks.
Arena > Wild > Standard
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
The fact it can go face might just be important (Overlord Saurfang?), but I doubt this synergy is more than a meme.
This is a 4 mana card. No further questions your honour
4 Mana 7/7
Could be useful for some trades. Hovewer since it has to survive damage to proc probably won't see much play.
I doubt this will see any play. The one-time random 5 damage is really not valuable enough to spend 5 mana doing nothing and hoping the opponent doesn't just kill it in one shot.
Sure, Warrior could damage it itself for some potential burst, but even then there are better minions for a pain/Frenzy deck, even without seeing the rest of FitB.
~ An expertly disguised dinosaur
With the introduction of Overlord Saurfang, this might see play in some kind of Frenzy Warrior deck. Even then, it's still pretty meh despite the fat stats, if you can't trigger its frenzy the minute you plop it on the board.
Nothing to see here, just a filler card to show the new key word
Seems expensive without at least rush.
If you can swing it, this minion can sometimes gain a two-for-one. Or, if you can give it Rush it can attack into a minion, survive, then deal 5 damage to the face. It's a bit janky and probably too unreliable to see a lot fo play, but it's nice to dream.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Invalid Deck IDNice
Useless card. In arena should be chosen
Doesn't look that great, might work in Arena but not more than that
Pack filler
completely useless in constructed
Looks like a filler Neutral. Too slow for aggro decks.
The fact that it can go face is mildly exciting. This card may end up in some wacky combo - but maybe it's just too expensive?
Possible face damage 😀
Arena card
I guess it can hit back if the opponent doesn't kill it straight up, but I wouldn't want to waste a card triggering this myself.
