Aggro decks will love this
-=alfi=-
Great stats for its cost will definitely be in more aggro style decks
Well...I guess we're here. Boulderfist Ogre no longer has good stats for its cost.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Meh not sure about this. Seems like a Silence priest kinda card, or just a card for arena.
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.
Silence priest
4 Mana 7/7
Good for antiaggro meta
this is amazing stats, but doubt its enough.
I mean, Soulbound Ashtongue saw play (and you were often dealt 4 damage), and this is just more impactfull.
Arena fodder at best
great stats for the cost, and the deathrattle can be largely silenced off.
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.
Pit Lord cries in the corner as a class epic card...
that are a lot of stats. but maybe too slow for aggro
not enough silence synergies
5 damage are sooo much. But seven health are too. I really can't decide on this card.
5 is a big price to pay for the stats
hmmmm, if you can silence this, it'll be very strong.
Could be alright. I don't think its as insane as it looks though.
5 damage is too much ... unless silenced
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
good
Kenny's little poet. 😇
aggro decks will love this
I think overall the cons outweigh the pros and unless you can play this right on curve the extra stats won't be worth it. You could silence it or something, but at that point it is too much trouble to get a slightly better than average 4-drop.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Interesting for greedy decks, but too risky! Good for silence priest
Just play it with silence
Rogue DH
Uhhh, not a 4 mana 7/7 but might see play
wow this is such a good tempo card
Remember when Chillwind Yeti was considered a good card?
If you are playing priest you can just heal yourself not silence i
Drawback is not that bad for most classes
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Nice
This will see play
Nope.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
great with silence but even without it's a big stat line to deal with
This card might be good in priest with Focused Will? It's just a big ball of stats with 5 damage to your hero otherwise, which won't see much play.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Excellent stats for aggro decks!
Good arena card, terrible in constructed.
Ah, Duel Paladin
I predict niche play in some tier 3 decks for this card
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Arena card .Could me used in priest ?maybe even warlock?
5/7 for 4 is pretty insane, but I feel most cards that deal damage to you as a drawback are not that successful which gives the card a negative association.
Could actually make it in Deathrattle DH. They have lifesteal cards as well.
OBLIVION!
Good - for 4 mana have 5 attack. Nice in agro decks.
Can actually be good in aggro. A better Pit Lord, it didn't see play, but it was bound to a class that was already damaging itself.
Just run it with Silence effects or the forgotten Deathwarden and watch your opponents quake in fear of a fully operational 5/7 for 4 Mana! It's a pretty dangerous card to run in most decks, and I don't think it does enough to make up for the downside.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Incredible stats.
For DR DH, it would be insane with the legendary, but in all truth... Filler...
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Aggro style or priest card maybe but 5 damage is really a lot Vs aggro deck. Bad card
Silence Priest? Or just aggro decks cuz your health total is irrelevant?
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Come on, guys, there's not even enough Silence in the game to make Silence Priest work, let alone Silence targets.
Fantastic card in Arena. Won't see play in constructed.
Arena > Wild > Standard
Nice card for pain lock
SMOrc all the way.
ehhhh, it's alright.
I have yet to see lots of deathrattle for this set, and this doesn't seem nearly as exciting as I was picturing deathrattle for the next meta ..
Oh well
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Ok card.
Heavy aggro tool arguably better than pit lord for neutral - think it'll probably be tried just for the sheer stats.
would hate to have this on my board for some random effect
Well, probably will see it out of some evolve, revolve, devolve shenanigans.
I never like self-damage cards and never will
I'm not online it's just your imagination
God for aggro and... Silence Priest?
Nice Aggro/Zoo-ish support but also for the new Deathrattle Demon Hunter that summons 4 Cost minions.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Silence priest food? But There is no more support for it.
By The Holy Light!
If suicide had a Hearthstone card
Good for Aggro decks.
in midrange meta it will be awesome otherwise useless
Poor Pit Lord cries in a corner, but this is still not good enough i think

Nah.. A bunch of stats with a punishment. Won't make the cut in constructed.
Great arena card? Especially for priest!
I really like this card. Its obviously meant for Death Speaker Blackthorn, but taking 5 damage each? Well, that's too much to ask in my book.
Unfortunately, with so few good deathrattles around, you'll likely see this in deathrattle dhunter, and little else other than arena. Outside of that, this is just hot trash.
Deathrattle demon hunter loves this others not so much. You don't care about your health with deathrattle dh so seems pretty strong.
Premium stats for it's cost, difficult to trigger the deathrattle
Any aggro deck and silence priest
Probably not worth it, maybe not even in Silence Priest.
In a silence priest you can add health to this then swap attack and health and go face for a big amount of damage
Murlocs <3
good
Reminiscent of Hench-Clan Shadequill, which wasn't really good enough to see much play. This is a little better in terms of pushing damage (since it won't remove its own damage), but it's still probably not good enough.
Great stats and will stable card in all aggressive deck in my opinion
Another nice 4 drop for secret mage
Ribbit
Good target for silence priest, not sure who else would run this.
♡ u 4ever 2008 - 2022
Great stats, but the Deathrattle makes it look worse than it might turn out to be.
I don't think this will make a big splash.
Arena card for sure. Can't really think for a use in it Standard.
Its REALLY good stats for the cost, very difficult to remove that early in the game. Probably seems play.
Even with the drawback this has, it's still crazy strong for its cost. Looks like it might see some play in aggressive decks
Seems pretty okay. Great stats. Silence priest hasn't gotten anywhere though.
not worth even with these stats
Stats very strong, downside is irrelevant since this will be in aggro decks.. cheese it out with deathrattle dh and you will have considerable board presence to push face
You only need 1 Health to win. Any more health is BM. That's why aggro won't care about the DR. And the stats are huge for the cost. The only reason I don't see this seeing play is that pure aggro decks will probably prefer to have Kazakus, Golem Shaper as their top end if they don't have any essential 4 drops.
Also, it's a decent payoff for DR DH. the DR is negligible for a class with so much Lifesteal.
Now, I'm not saying this is a great card. It's just not as horrible as some people think, as people tend to believe you need to silence this for it to be good.
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
Overstatted, yes. Obvious downside, also yes. Good enough for the + to cancel out the -? I'm not sure.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Probably the one card that's kind of holding Deathrattle DH together right now.
good card
I think it may see some light play, but I doubt it will become relevant in most cases.
I think the 5 damage will prove too much for play unless silence decks make a comeback.
Decent value for aggro decks, I would also consider using this in a silence priest deck, since it's not the end of the world if the effect goes off and it can only get better from there. I feel like Pit Lord is crying in a corner, though.
this doesn't seem fun. I'm sad because I don't like hitting myself and my opponent is sad because demon hunter is broken again.
Bittertide Hydra was great, and this can't be cheesed into losing. However, the attack is much less threatening.
Normally I'd say silence is a joke, but Silence Priest got support in the core set, so maybe?
Apparently you're supposed to use this in a Deathrattle Demon Hunter. That will most likely never happen and other than that it doesn't really have a place in Constructed.
Give it +2 more Attack...
I think you are going to want to silence this. Or maybe use Deathwarden, except if you have deathrattles you want to trigger.
Hey! I thought deathrattles in this set would be good for demonhunter!
This is not good
For The HORDE!
Might be played in DR DH, if it ends up fast enough to not care about their own health.
~ An expertly disguised dinosaur
Could work with deathrattle demon hunter.
Mostly an Arena card, with a maybe for topping out an aggro deck if they really need it.
Welcome to the site!
Nice stats for cheap. Downside isn't too bad. Could see use.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
This reminds me of Bittertide Hydra for having scary stats for the cost with taking damage as a downside. I see aggressive potential for Darkspear Berserker, but I also get the feeling that the stats don't matter as much in modern Hearthstone. If your aggressive deck doesn't run that many four drops, then I'd consider trying to fit in Kazakus, Golem Shaper over this. If there is ever a way to cheat Darkspear out (besides DH), then maybe it'll see play.
For glory, honor, and gold!
