One word card: Nerubian Egg
This will probably be played with deathrattles or zoo style decks
Jesus f*cking Christ, what are they doing with Zoo? The deck is already pretty nuts with all the token buffs, and hand reload (even though expired Merchant goes away so maybe it slows down just a tad)...but now it gets AoE too?
I'm not sure Zoo should be allowed to completely shove other tempo decks off the board while developing 4/4s and stuff.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Well we have couple of eggs in standard, this might work

warlock omelette anybody?
I was trying to think the best current target for this, but then again I only needed to get to the comments
Well this is pretty insane.
Disclaimer: if the above is factually incorrect or complete rubbish it is definitely both intentional and comedy genius.
For zoo can works fine
Good token removal and totally in flavor with Warlock
Token-based Controls decks are probably going away with the rotation of Galakrond, the Wretched and Plague of Flames, but a deathrattle zoo with Nerubian Egg or Boneweb Egg could make nice use out of this against other token decks.
Seems pretty good. Its sorta like mini shadowflame but it will always do 2 damage rather than being based on the power of the unit.
Ok, so this is a zoo deathrattle meta, with eggs and everything.
I like it.
Really powerful. Obviously, there are many minions you'd be happy to sacrifice with this (like Nerubian Egg).
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Pretty darn good for Zoo. Maybe a comeback for some Egg-Action :)
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
This looks very strong. There are lots of times you want to kill your own minions, and they payoff is just huge.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Card is amazing in all deck types, but I think a zoo deck is going to utilize it the best. Fear the legion
These sorts of cards (low mana to destroy a friendly minion for a powerful effect) have always seen play in Wild warlock decks, so I expect this one will, too.
Zoo, eggs, go face, and remove stuff. I like this.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
can be good on zoolock as a board clear against lots of little taunts
now I see why eggs are in the core set.
This could also see play in Control decks kinda like Plague of Flames. It only requires one friendly minion.
OBLIVION!
Galakrond as source of cheap minions is leaving, otherwise this would be OK
-=alfi=-
there are enough good board clears for warlock already. this looks like overkill
Strong card, aggro or control.
There will be a new egg in standard, + a few imps and you have the new sulfuric flavor of zoo.
I like it, can be used in both zoo and control archetypes.
By The Holy Light!
Hearthstone is very clearly moving toward a more board-based atmosphere, yet people are still surprised when Team 5 pushes Zoolock. smh
I'm gonna make a BLT with this Egg Lock
Banned for spamming.
With the eggs, this should see play.
Well, I've always said Zoolock is aggro-control, so...
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 already forgot that. The card might be much better than I initially thought.
very good as anti-aggro.
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Geez, as if Zoo and eggs and deathrattles weren't powerful enough.
I really like this card. Suits Warlock bigtime.
Amazing card.
Can be good in a controlling warlock deck, but with the loss of Galakrond we don't have a good token generator anymore.
Very strong card! It's cheap and in Zoo can break egg card. Maybe not 5 star since 2 damage for Control Lock deck are not enough
I guess its a card that need some imp or deathrattle minions to be trully useful. Not sure that control decks will run a card that deal only 2 and need a sacrifice, they can run better cards with an expensive cost.

Amazing card, not to mention the age is enemies only!
Seems good for zoo, since you can use it to clear the enemy board and push face on the same turn
Eggselent!
We need more eggs and token generators!!
warlock need board claers and this one is pretty good
Great card for any kind of aggro mirrors that Token/Zoolock will come across.
Its basically going to trigger your deathrattles and clear most of the board, or its just going to do 2 damage to everywhere in exchange for a token. Either way, this card is better than it looks.
Maybe handlock can use some deathrattles like Nerubian Eggs or just plain Loot Hoarder to go well with this card.
This is a great card for AoE damage. Bring on the Deathrattle minions for control!!!
Great tool for Zoolock, will see play
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
cheap board clear with the spell damage demon
Rogue DH
Now that's some saucy spell for zoolock!
Destroy an egg to inflict 2 damage aoe is good. Even needing to destroy a 1 mana minion for no additional effect is good.
Ribbit
Not convinced about this one, but will probably see play with eggs
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
I'm pretty sure 1 mana deal 2 damage to all enemy minions is good. And the downside isn't much of a downside, as there are a number of good deathrattles available.
Zoolock baybeeeeeeeeeee
4 Mana 7/7
This and (Chef's kiss)
Eggscellent trade off!
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Good card, as long as you have cheap noobs to sacrifice.
Seems beautiful. This condition on effects usually end up being playable.
And Nerubian Egg is being added to Core, which is an amazing target.
The fact that this aoe will only damage enemies, it's a safe card to add to your zoolock, and ofc everyone else beat me to it with the perfect card to sacrifice: Nerubian Egg
Expect to see this card played. A lot.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Oh great let's give warlock some more easy clear spells
I'm not online it's just your imagination
classic walock effect, low cost and good effect, i like this one
Will see play in a variety of decks, zoo included (and it could be one of the top offenders)
Zoolock got removal. Nice addition to it's arsenal, a shame that right now it's not really a powerful archetype.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Hmm with all the zoo tools going away, i think it will see play in order to destroy eggs and get another benefit out of it. Not sure if it's good enough to make zoo strong enough though.
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.
This could be good, or garbage. Depends on how Zoo fares.
Very fitting for warlock
Nice aoe!
Hmm, we will see how this works, but i would have rathered a board wide buff
Great board clear and only for 1 mana, so might even see play in some agressive zoolock that wants to sacrifice some value deathrattle minion.
Extremely powerful card
Breakfastlock is back boys
Great for zoo can we get some new deathrattles?
Seems just straight up good.
This seems pretty decent to go along with all the other Warlock cheap board clears. There are enough utility one drops available that makes it a simple enough thing to pull off.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Just what a zoolock needs. Should fit right in there.
Yeah looks like a good card for Zoo

Nice simple board clear early on. Not too hard to have a 1/1 or deathrattle minion you want to pop to clear another aggressive deck. Definitely will see this.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
I really hope a zoo deck with Nerubian Egg will be any decent. It's been too long since a sweet Void Terror play. Of course, Grimoire of Sacrifice will be in there as well.
Arena > Wild > Standard
Looks good for a deathrattle activator.
Every class is getting cheap early AoE. This is Warlock version
Looks really good to me, Zoolocks can easily get a couple of sacrificial tokens on board.
Power
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
Nice addition for Egg Zoo Warlock.
I hope this makes some kind of Egglock viable
Zoo, Egg, Face, Win.
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.
sounds about right for a warlock card
With galakrond that would be good, but now... i'm not sure
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Good in both formats, both standard upcoming egglock and wild cubelock. Great card.
Good card in Galakrond, Zoo antiaggro tool. Not bad at all.
Considering how often you want to make sure deathrattles go off before they get silenced or transformed.... this seems like a good card to play.
Zoo warlock
Zoo card, where there will be no shortage of cheap minions.
Now I'm happy to have nerubian egg in core, 'cause i can't buy the adventure with game gold
For The HORDE!
good for zoo
NIce
Good for the eggs/ self-destruction kind of cards. Nice cheap board clear as well with consecration for 1 mana only
good
Could be a useful tool for Egg Zoo, but only if the meta is comparatively aggressive. Seems like the kind of card that's a meta call rather than something you plan on putting in your deck without knowing the meta.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Perfect for wk
combo with DR in zoolock decks seems reasonable usage of this card - nice one
Really cool card, works great with Deathrattle minions like eggs
Pretty strong, mainly when fighting other aggro decks.
Acceptable cost to slow down aggro.
Nice aoe
nice cheap aoe + combo with deathrattle cards in zoo
Cheap aoe spell. Good in zoo with cheap minions.
A good tool for Egglock. Seems pretty clear cut that this'll be included there.
Welcome to the site!

I was hoping the grimoires would become a theme in warlock, the way librams were for paladin. Regardless, this seems like a nice little board clear, especially in something like an egg-lock deck.
Traditionally these self-destroy effects have seen play when they are tempo oriented, which Grimoire of Sacrifice isn't. Control Warlock already was School Spirits and Fire Breather for AoE and Zoolock doesn't care for the AoE. Overall, I just don't see what Warlock wants to use this card.
For glory, honor, and gold!
