Everyone is forgetting about decks like Control Warrior that for the most part don't give a crap what the enemy health pool is until the very end. Pretty easy to squeeze these in for early board presence (remember they lost Belchers), then when you drop Alex later who cares about the deathrattle?
Agreed. This has a clear place in control, and actually retains some late game playability as far as board presence is concerned as opposed to Chow which turns into trash past turn 3.
I agree that it probably will see some play in all control decks but it is too early to tell as there might be some cards that we haven't seen yet that are better. However, it will definitely see play in Control priest which already runs Auchenai which makes the deathrattle a good thing rather than something that is negligible.
If you don't think this is good remember that in priest this is a 5 mana 6/6 deathrattle deal 8 damage to the face.
Yes, I'll concede to the fact that zombie chow + Auchenai doesn't work as well in practice as it does on paper but you're forgetting a number of things that make Corrupted Healbot different: 1. Zombie chow is a one drop and this is a 5 drop while zombie chow won't likely survive till you drop soul priest this can 2. Zombie chow won't be in standard 3. this trades 2:1 with almost all 5 drops and trades evenly with almost all 6 drops those that it doesn't trade with can be dealt with using soul priest + healing which makes it easy to control board with this + Auchenai.
This might be better as a 6/5. It would die when it trades and would be easier to get the auchni combo off.

Well, it has incredible trading potential, but have you ever seen value (basically vanilla) 5 drops like Pit Fighter in constructed before? It's just not going to work out the way you imagine it will. The downside may not matter much in Arena so it could be dominant, but that's it. I'm not getting my hopes up for this card being viable in Priest just because of the Auchenai Soulpriest synergy until I see every last card in this expansion.
the idea is the same, the spot in the deck a completly different
Other than Auchenai Preist; when would this ever see play?
Also, the gold animation shows him firing the left gun only, yet the ammo belt on the right gun is still cycling, wtf?
Not that I think that it'll necessarily see play, but just to clarify that for Control decks like Control Priest, the health of your opponent is, most of the time, irrelevant, so it has potential even without Auchenai. Dropped on turn 5, it can deny most 5 and 6-drops. And in the late game, it can be nice to have some strong 5-drops in the deck, as it's quite common for a priest to have many 6-drops in hand, being unable to play more than one per turn and yet wasting so much mana while being behind on board.
shadow word : Death
does it replacing the old healbot and lootharder and doomsayer? i still don't understand it..
Mr. Chow has just turned meca!
5 mana 6/6? And Pit Fighter...
Cthulhu approves
This card is just made for the Priest. At most times opponent's health doesnt matter if youre Priest. And think about the Auchenai plays.
