Its actually decent, if not, very good enough to see play in ranked. Basically only aggro decks will play without legendaries, and only very rarely do we see the meta taken away by decks that play absolutely no minions, legendary …

Its disappointing that the stat gain is so low. A 3/8 taunt on 4 is very good for its cost, but its only slightly better than the usual vanilla 3/6 and this one comes with a condition that's very testing. …

Unfortunately for this card, even a 5 mana 8/8 windfury that require you to have less than half your health gone may not reach far enough to swing the board for you. In most cases whenever you drop this low, …

Its [card]frost nova[/card] that also kills something, so is there any reason to say that this wouldn't see any play?

The only downside this posses is that it needs a wounded target to even work. So in a control …

If it works, it'll make a massive minion that your opponent likely needs a response or they die.

But unfortunately, it'll likely work less than 50% of the time, and if it ever becomes meta it'll get even worse …

The most significant part of this card is its cost. At 5, its kinda expensive considering that it can be played around.

Maybe with 3/4 body board swing is enough to overturn the massive cost that comes with this …

This is just insane as a board clear options. At least it cost 5, or otherwise this would literally be in every deck bar aggro.

Whether you call it [card]defile[/card], or just smaller [card]lord godfrey[/card], the fact remains that …

If you survive past turn 6 in duels when you have 20 health that's already an achievement. Its sort of like the discard cards like [card]blood shard bristleback[/card]. Sure you get a free win easily, but the card gets gradually …

A very interesting condition indeed.

Probably more relevant in wild where evenlock can get to 15 fairly easily. In standard however, its not as straight forward. Even questlock struggles to do it by turn 5 courtesy of the many …

The conditions are difficult to accomplish, and while you'll end up with a 30 attack minion at the end of the day it has neither rush nor taunt so at very best this card kills a bunch of tokens and …

I should have clarified in my original comment. Darkshire councilman works whenever a minion is played whereas this one needs them to first die.

So in my opinion, its just weaker. 1 extra health doesn't immediately make it better

Because [card]coerce[/card] can destroy undamaged minions? Plus this freezes your own board too.

But this card is clearly something else. Depends on the build, but its not strictly a better coerce.

Not another one of this cards. Why the hell are we giving warrior [card]frost nova[/card]?

The only real play around is that this card actually requires a minion to be damaged to work, but essentially being able to take …

Its flexible and its a good stated minion most of the time. Use this to efficiently utilize your mana, or just drop it early for good tempo. If it gains at least divine shield and rush, its already by default …

Its just a maybe card. Basically if everyone is running big minions this bad boy will turn the tide really quickly.

But where it is not, this card is trash. In fact, the entire viability of this card hinges …

Its not bad, but its not good neither. The fact is that you'll have to have secret on 2, and then this card will only act on turn 4. What's the essential difference in just playing [card]imprisoned felmaw[/card], that at …

Its just good in the right deck. Double [card]king krush[/card] on 10, or maybe on 6 after a Vanndar discount. That's basically a win condition all on its own.

Even something as simply as [card]trampling rhino[/card] will make this …

Its a bizarre 9 mana card when its likely more viable or suitable as an 8 mana card. Kinda reminds me of the [card]archwitch willow[/card] treatment and that card saw no play on 9 and still sees no play on …

Its basically [card]darkshire councilman[/card], and having 1 additional health really makes it sticky enough to survive past turn 3.

But its supporting an archetype that hasn't been the same ever since the last core rotation where they removed [card]umberwing[/card], …

Best part about this card is flexibility. You can just drop this on 3 and get a decent minion out, but likely best results are on 4, where you're nearly guaranteed a 3/3 with divine shield or rush at least.
