    5 corpses is quite the ask, but if there are a bunch of strong midrange deathrattles this could be alright.

    Obviously you can just commit to Cage Head, but I'm not sure that's all that good.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    This seems like a perfectly balanced minion.  Honestly, it asks for 5 corpses with Unholy... that is beyond easy to do with that rune.  The stat lines are meh, especially when you only can play this effectively after something with a great deathrattle has dropped dead.  Combine it with a late game Brann combo, and that could be a backup kill for the deck.

    Dont know what this card realistically aim to do. Cage Head is too slow, egg is too much for 5 corpses especially if youre going either for marrogar or Grave Strength

    Perhaps there's going to be a 3 mana deathrattle that may make this better, but I doubt it. There's almost no chance an unholy deck manages to accumulate 5 corpses by turn 4 and expect to take any board.

    5 corpses seems like a lot to trigger a single deathrattle a second time, considering cards like Marrow Manipulator, or Grave Strength if you have a board.

    It's potentially two additional times, because the Boneshredder triggers it immediately and then gains the Deathrattle for themselves to set off later. Is that enough to make the card great? I don't know, but just wanted to add some clarification.

    5 corpses seems like a lot. But Unholy DK can probably afford it. Also Rainbow DK might just use this as well, as long as there is a good enough deathrattle to repeat. (And in Rainbow DK it also upgrades Climactic Necrotic Explosion.) I'm not 100% sure about this card, but it does seem pretty good.

    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.

    Trying to copy Cage Head deathrattle seems ambitious, and I'm not sure if you want to hit Eggs when you're spending so many corpses. Though activating and copying the deathrattle does make it a rather sticky body.

    They are very subtle in their push for that Blight Boar to be a thing ..!

    Is that his makeup or just his natural fur pattern?
