Lol, it's basically the opposite to Hench-Clan Thug
Shouldn't this lore wise be some weird butcher necro something creature?
Lore on him can be found here: https://wow.gamepedia.com/Doctor_Theolen_Krastinov
Going into this expansion a few people were expecting him to be too dark for HS, which I'd guess is why his card doesn't bare much resemblance to his Warcraft lore. I suppose he carries melee weapons (meat cleavers), which I guess qualifies him to be the teacher of the rogue/warrior class pair?
I'd be surprised if Kel'Thuzad tried too hard to find a teacher for an almost magic-less dual class, and to his eyes all melee weapons are crude wastes of time. Yes, that is now my head-canon: Krastinov was ordered to teach rogue/warriors for no better reason than that KT doesn't know/appreciate the difference between a meat cleaver and a sword.
Pretty balanced.
So..uh...it's just Greenskin then?
Rush is cool and all, but this guy won't stick around for more than one turn. I guess he just replaces Greeskin...or he's run alongside him for consistency. Either way if you take away the Upgrade effect you're left with a 4-mana 4/4 with rush...which is just....meh
It's better than Captain Greenskin I guess... Barely...
Except in Pirate decks you might even run both or just Greenskin. But the Rush IS spicy
Looks legit, but why is the Text so weirdly formated?
Anyway, Assassin's Blade could be perfect for this.
I think that Doctor Krastinov has better chances to see play together with Wrenchcalibur and Waggle Pick because of the tempo curve.
Completely forgot about those Two, thx!
I guess Wrenchcalibur might become even more dangerous, considering that you can use it to clear the Board for the Doctor, who then in return keeps buffing your Weapon.
And in the Meantime, your Opponent drowns in Bombs.
This expansion is a joke to every class but DH
Especially for Rogue...
