Yeah, I agree, you would always swing it the turn you get it. The issue is there really isn't a way to consistently kill this off 7 times, or 8 (8+ if you if are fighting a priest).
edit: I replied to the wrong comment. Whoops. too lazy to delete and rewrite it though.
So how would this work in standard? Any things pop out at you at making this viable? I'm guessing classes that have deathrattle support, so inherently that seems to indicate Rogue, Hunter, Priest...and maybe shaman? Out of all of them, hunter and priest seem the most viable to trigger it 7 times. But for some reason I'm blanking on the ways this could work...
You can shuffle it in Hunter and use their beast tutors to get it out as fast as possible (and also create more boars than necessary which is good against transformation effects and Mutanus).
The question is, is trying so awkwardly race your opponent by shuffling pigs and doing nothin of general value better than just straight up killing them.
Hunter definitely has the draw at this point, but can you realistically build a deck around trying to turbo draw a bunch of crappy piglets while also fighting for the board (without running too many beasts so your tutors don't get polluted) and not being able to heal because you're Hunter.
Rogue can do it if they get a big shuffle effect. Priest can't because they don'T have copy effects thus far.
Psyche Split, Gift of Luminance, Raise Dead, and even Rally and The Nameless One would like to have a word with you. Yes, The Nameless One would silence the one on the board, but as long as the silenced copy isn't the last one to die it will still add to the total count of dead piggies.
I mean anything that discourages hunters from Smorcing is good in my book. I dont mean this is an offensive way, but honestly Blizz needs to let hunters develop something other than "me go face" metas for them. I'd like to see one meta where there aren't a ton of good aggro/curve tools and that hunter would HAVE to build a control deck to be viable. (and no, OTK copy with Leorox? doesn't quite count, actual control) which really hasn't existed for hunter since Deathstalker Rexxar...
I mean...they'd still go face at the end of the day
They would have no choice but to go face because of their hero power. It is a 2 mana do nothing unless you are playing an aggro deck. Besides, the only way a control deck for hunter would ever become meta is if it was encouraged by the base set and supported by expansions. It would have to be forced by the devs the way elemental shaman was, not naturally created by players.
OH GOD THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Thank you Blizz!
