I can see this starting to come together. It's almost like a taunt zoo...which is a weird phrase to type. I'm not sure how good that is since we haven't really seen anything like it. I'm hoping the Warrior quest isn't taunt related again, but it's looking like it might be.
Also, super noteable is how well buffed taunts work with Bloodsworn Mercenary, or whatever that card was called.
hand buff taunt zoo is coming - thanks RandomGuy =D
I was thinking of token druid, but the card is way too slow there, right?
This is why they keep me around :-p
EDIT: I initially thought this was a Warrior Class card. Holy shit, neutral! This card is REALLY good. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes one of the most played cards in the set.
It is actually kinda shit for anything but hand buff decks, very slow card that costs you tempo. Maybe it can help with Mountain Giant, so warrior/pally decks can throw those in just cause, if those would be easy to reduce to 4-5 mana consistently, who knows.

it doesn't really cost you that much tempo, just 1/1 stats. But look at all the synergies it has. It does a lot of little things that make it worthy of consideration in a bunch of different types of decks. Tokens for token decks. Card generation for Mountain giant decks and hand buff decks. Deathrattle for deathrattle decks. Beasts for beast decks.
I feel like this is the type of card where you're looking for a 29th and 30th card, and you see this and think, "yeh, that could probably work here."
I'm not sure how to evaluate this. In a vacuum it's borderline unplayable, but I can see it being good enough with the right support.
worst community ever
I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.
Good card overall with multiple uses. Beast tokens and taunt all in a neat package.

Into the Fray approves.
Not quite Saronite levels of good but definitely up there. Generating multiple small/medium sized taunts from a single cheap minion is rarely bad.
Maybe, but im a bit skeptical about this one in that regard.

Remember Infested Tauren in Quest Rogue ?
This card can be a good replacement of it. Or just can't replace Infested Tauren, but worth to give it a try.

A neutral 3 drop taunt that generates 2 more?
With some pretty good story telling artwork, what is not to be loved?
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Did you mean Igneous Elemental, cuz' Infested Tauren was never used in Q Rogue. I browsed through the internet for some 2019 decklist examples and in neither of those I found the 2/3 Elemental:

Imho unless we get another minion, which generates Scarabs, the Infested Goblin won't see any play in the aforementioned deck. And even if we do, the wild meta might be too fast for an understated minion with a deathrattle effect.
it was before first nerf to get some protection against aggro and was not used for completing quest. For 5/5 taunts and the token that leaves as 5/5 on board. Actually it was also before Saronite Chain Gang. So maybe you are right about it because it wasn't used since Un'goro. :)

Intresting that many don´t see this as a good card. Ok not in all decks maybe but for me it´s very good.
