Man they are really not kidding with that Handlock support. This looks like the kind of proactive stuff that deck needs (although I wonder if it might be too much at this point and maintaining a big handsize just isn't possible over the course of a game and so these cards become bad topdecks)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
You say Handlock, meanwhile I'm hearing "Mortals are so... squishy" all over again.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Decent Handlock support!
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Ask yourself what a 5/4 rush is worth, then hold that many cards. Easy.

That's a big boy for Handlock support. Really weakens the 10 drop minion pool though.
Going to be strong for handlock. Very nice card.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
Its handlock support, because outside of highlander decks chances are good you'll never get this to a decent 4 mana outside of it.
The bar for this to even be decent is 5 mana. Can hands contain 5 different cards on turn 5? Yes. Does that mean you'll play this? No. Because I'd rather play Razormane Raider over this anyday.
Actually quite good, not just in Handlock but in multiple decks that draw a lot of cards. Also good nerf to random 10 drops.
I don't like this much. Just make it a 5 cost card and be done with it. If you don't reliably have a large hand in the late game, this card is going to be trash.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
IF you are playing a control deck, it still wouldn't make the cut because you'd want a taunt instead of a rush minion.
Pf not even worth it in handlock I think, 1/5 stars
If only it cost 9 to synergize with evolve.
The unique way to make him useful is with EVOLVE (or REVOLVE)
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Evolving and spitefull type cards hate him. Also too boring in my opinion to see play.
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Good for Handlock
Rogue DH
I really cannot calculate how good this will be? Will it be worth including in handlock?
Another staple card for Handlock. When is the time for calling out that too much support is added?
Surprisingly strong card if your deck is built to support this.
Can't wait to try out this deck. I'm absolutely positive that Goldshire Gnoll will shine in here!
Arena > Wild > Standard
Makes Athletic Studies worse for handlock crap.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Warlock card in disguise? Other classes like Rogue or Priest could also take advantage of it as they can create some big hands, but I don't think those classes would really bother with this minion. Least it screws up the evolve pool in standard, even though 10 drops were bad anyway.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Obviously fits in a handlock deck, and any other archetype that often has big hands.
Always glad to see continued support for one of the most iconic warlock decks ever.
Compared to Mountain Giant, you get -3/-4 but it also costs 2 less mana and has rush, which seems like a perfectly fair tradeoff.

Seems like solid handlock support. Not sure how soon you can get it out, but probably soon enough. It also has rush, so it has immediate impact. Maybe some control priest decks also run it? They often have plenty of cards in hand because of generation. Of course thats assuming control priest will still excist next expansion, which im guessing is a big fat NO.
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.
''Hey Gul'Dan, tell us what a big hand is worth to you ? ''
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Thank god the 10 mana pool gets more diluted.
Even tho, it's got rush so, it's not THAT bad.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Aside from handlock, discovers or card generating in general will be playing the Goldshire Gnoll. It's not the best, but it have immediate effect on board
Seems rather weak. Even with a full hand, it's still only a 5/4 with Rush. I don't see how useful it'd be, considering the setup required to reduce its cost.
Kind of weak, but I think it still might be good enough to make the cut in a Standard Handlock attempt. Though they did get a lot of other support, so maybe not?
