Fun idea. They've tried empty deck warlock before and it never really took off. Still cool that the card itself has kill potential and you "just" have to survive. If I get this I'll play around with it for sure.
Warlock is not exactly a class known for cheating out spells either. Felwalker only works with Fel spells, and there's definitely better things to use Bloodbloom for.
It's flashy and it's certainly a head-turner, but you pay 8 mana to do nothing for 5 turns. Since your deck will be empty, you'll also need to be able to take at least 10 damage (or have ways of putting cards into your deck) after you play it. You basically need to already be winning the game to be able to comfortably cast it.
I've finished the Skyward series by Brandon Sanderson yesterday and it ended up landing somewhere among my all time top 5, maybe even top 3. Book 1 and 2 are exciting, fast paced, creative and just a ton of fun all around. Book 3 was some tedious but necessary character building. Book 4 just completely blew me away. I've sweated through my clothes, I've laughed out loud, I've cried, I got engaged with the story like I rarely do. Big big recommendation for anyone who likes Science Fiction and / or YA.
I do love reading walls of text in my hearthstone cards.
The days have been sweltering and I'm ready for winter. And as for how I'm doing, definitely feeling old these days... probably need to buy that walking stick now...

We want to experiment with smaller buffs across several cards that are rotating out of Standard soon—especially in classes that are currently weaker—to see if we can give them one last hurrah. Our hope is that players will try out and enjoy some of these strategies during these last few weeks before they go. This is an experiment, so we’ll be tracking player sentiment and play data to see if this works out.
Its a good card, very nearly guarantees that the damage goes to face and being able to essentially board clear while doing it is just amazing.
The main problem though? Well, the battlecry basically means you'll never want to cheat this guy out and isnt that what really made King Krush good in the first place? Played as a 9 drop, this card is just...well, normal. Maybe not even that great considering that most matches rarely ever get to a point where a board clear and 6 damage to face wins you the game.
Prob would see play, but Id say old krush is more interesting to build around than plush krush.
Enough cards are there that it having Miniaturize isn't unfeasible. Not to mention, this card could have said "... minions with less than 5 attack" but directly references the minions attack instead.
If it had Miniaturize, then its Mini form wouldn't do anything since there wouldn't be anything you could remove with its Battlecry (except for Eggs and Totems I suppose).
Hunter also doesn't have any handbuff in Standard at the moment besides Messenger Buzzard. They may print some more later in this set, but if they don't, then it makes perfect sense that the card doesn't have Miniaturize.
The weather here is awesome, the summer was good and not to hot, but enough to enjoy the lakes. Now we have a couple of rainy days ahead which are awesome because everything feels too dry and full of dust.

Or pack your deck with Sludges, then spend 8 mana, watch the fireworks, use remaining resources to maintain control until auto win!
The sludges popping off could also swing you from a potentially losing state to having board control and a chance.
I could honestly see Sludge Lock running this solely as a way to pop off with a ton of barrels at once.

I have absolutely no idea how to assess this card at this stage of the reveals! It's giving off Void Contract vibes, in a way.

Spend 8 mana to do nothing. Great value!

I mean, this is better than Myra's Unstable Element (yes, you don't draw cards, but that usually doesn't matter in the context of Yogg).

Welp, never playing Yogg again, that's for sure.

While I appreciate those that rhyme,
I'm sure it took a lot of time,
Lets talk about this new hero why don't we,
It is simply magnificent don't you see,
All that flavor, all that wit,
A staple it will be in the Rainbow kit.

2XKO Is the Final Name for Project L, Riot’s Upcoming Fighting Game - Planned Release in 2025
At least call it "Legends 2XKO", or "2XKO Legends", as a reference to the source material D:
...it at least better shout "KO!!" when you win in a classic arcade-y voice. You basically have to do that now.

One of the weirdest buff patches Ive seen in a while.
Isnt most of those cards that are being buffed rotating away from standard in less than a month? Whats the overall plan here?

More like Psychic Scream, but I understand the sentiment hehe :P
All Whizbang's Workshop Day 4 Hearthstone Card Reveals - February 22
I agree. Spurfang's current lack of success in particular makes me think they'll try and push the handbuffing harder, to go alongside King Plush.
All Whizbang's Workshop Day 4 Hearthstone Card Reveals - February 22
I disagree and feel like it's something they've been pushing lately, and expect more this expansion.
Hunter:
Bestial Madness
Ten Gallon Hat
Bovine Skeleton
Messenger Buzzard
Theldurin the Lost
Twisted Frostwing
Spurfang
Hope of Quel'Thalas
Neutral:
Party Animal
Saloon Brewmaster
Stereo Totem

Hunter Handbuff support, but why not give it Miniaturize if that's the case? Feels like a missed opportunity

My actions caused you much distress.
In words and deeds, I went astray,
And for that, I'm sorry today.
