It's worth noting that Hollow Hound has synergy with the already existing hand attack buffs DK has.

Yelling Yodeler is probably the only respectable card here. Both hunter and DK can take full advantage of the double deathrattle this card offers.

The rest is just too niche to even be considered. Maybe Hollow Hound can do something in blood DK, but I think Blood Boil itself will suffice.

Love the deck, but Divive favor seems a bit of a dud. Also having Uthur is tough with Cariel. Have you tried nozdormu the timeless? Works well for me in high mana pali decks

Arena card and likely part of a very annoying achievement. That's it.

Every pack needs a filler and this card happily raises its hand.

Draw 3 cards with a decent body and sacrificing only one weapon? Sure why not.

Is there anything else to say? Its only downside is your deck would likely need more than 3 weapons for this to be consistent.

Its going to get nerfed not because of its power but because it punishes anything that isn't minion heavy, or playing control. Because if this gets played versus any control deck its nearly 99% chance they'll just take that 8 damage, rather than risk an additional 4 damage the next turn.

Practically useless versus aggro, but hey. If you have a card that deals 8 damage to control decks and you're playing aggro-mirdrange, you'll just play this card because why not? And imagine your opponent's face as they wriggle around trying to see whether its better to take 8 now or more later.

One weakness though. Finley immediately neuters it. But then again, that means they're playing finley, one of the most difficult card to play with an awful play win rate.

Dont know why this card has tradeable when its fairly clear it'll never be traded away in hand.

Because if you put this in your deck then its very likely the meta has turned massively for spells, or youre an aggro deck facing a ton of control. The only reason you'd trade this away is in aggro mirrors, and even then Im not 100% sure its the right choice.

Its certainly a good card, but I feel most will just go for Cult Neophyte, which costs 2 less and is infinitely more easier to play. Still, if the meta does turn towards spells, then why not? Its practically a counter to druid in of itself.

Its likely just a bait card for deck builders to try and abuse the 5 card draw.

But realistically, even aggro decks nowadays plays at least 8 spells and most of which will comfortably draw cards, less than this one admitably, but at very least they dont cost 5 mana. Additionally, this card has potential to screw you quite hard, by granting your opponent your cards and then drawing you less than 5, which would be disastrous.

So where will this fit into? Most likely aggro decks like unholy DK or menagerie warrior, where spells are minimal and even if lost its not a big deal.

One last bit. This might actually turn out to be a tech card bizarrely in control mirrors because you'll not only draw important minions, but also grant your opponent useless clear options that they cannot dump. That would be hilarious if nothing else.

Tradeable is fine, and team5 have been pretty selective adding this keyword into certain cards. For the most part, it ends up pasted on tech cards, and not all tech cards are playable.

Besides, you cant really build a deck with too many tradeable cards in it, because it doesn't really draw per say, more like replace. In other words, you'll likely end up drawing a dead card at a later turn anyway.

Also, since "Tradeable" became an evergreen keyword, it looks like devs are willing to speed up the game across all classes by cycling/drawing cards as much as they can. I mean, only Tradeable cards being printed was fair for the time being but alongside Magatha, Bane of Music, that looks scary. I wonder if anyone feels the same as me.

Team5 may be overdoing it with the draw options this time round, and the fear is that it'll get worse, progress the meta unhealthily, or promote more polarization. Because we can see what these cards essentially are; aggro options, so it makes sense to imagine control getting equally as insane options of their own.

Elite Tauren Champion might get nerfed, or everyone would just be playing finley. Not because its overpowered but because this card is just tailor made to punish anything that doesn't play curving minions. Wouldn't be surprising if taking that 8 damage immediately is considered the best decision for certain decks. The only mitigating circumstance is that the player of this card would most likely be at a disadvantage, having practically played a 5 mana do nothing on board, so its almost unplayable against aggro or midrange.

Many thanks my good Sule :)

Wait, did you start streaming? When did that happen?

I'm disappointed that Elite Tauren Champion is not a Warrior fire spell like I predicted it would be. Pretty neat card, though.
