Is that how it would work.
Wouldn't C'Thun 's battlecry choose it's targets when it's played, so the 2/2 Gnolls would not be on the list of targets.
But at least you'll have a board full of gnolls when C'Thun is done.
I could be wrong about this, I don't really know what I'm talking about.
No, It actually happened to me today, my opponent played C'Thun which spawned a 2/2 Gnoll from Hogger, Doom of Elwynn and then immediately killed it. It seems not to work with deathrattles though, like Savannah Highmane for instance.
its a worse troggzor. still good in arena.
It's not that bad actually. I mean people went crazy during the Goblins VS Gnomes expansion for Troggzor (turned out to be bad) and I think this is better. Imagine if they only way to remove this is to attack him twice, you hit once, spawns a taunt, kill the taunt, hit again, spawns another taunt, that's insane value.
Troggzor was not bad, he was just not Dr. Boom.
Eh, even in Warrior this would be meh, as the knolls only have 2 hp. Overall over-costed just like hogger 1.
The knolls have 2 hp but the ability to block someone from hitting your patrons is pretty nice.
This is kinda an old comment but that's a stupid thought. If patrons are REALLY good at 3 health, there's no reason this card is bad.
Ok, i gotta ask will this replace Hogger or not, cause Skeleton Knight and Black Knight are he same character in wow but they have 2 cards. If it does it would be a shame since he's no longer at 4 and out of shadow word range, death can kill him with no spawn, and we lose the best golden animation that old Hogger had D;. Hope they do the right thing and leave them both.
No he's completely separate.
a new Dr. Boom but for control only
I don't feel the same. If it's turn 7 or 8 then your opponent will probably play a bigger minion. That just cuts off this card completely, and that one 2/2 gnoll would not make much of a difference.
Even if this card gets hit once its still considered value cuz your get 8/8 worth of stats plus taunt and split among two minions is great cuz it might stop one turn of the enemy minions from attacking face. Also have u seen the 7 drops most of then have 6 attack from this expansion. No more dr boom....and have u realised this is insane couner to BGH!!!
Looks like a great fit for warrior decks, both patron and control. He may even help taunt warrior become a thing.
Same shit against priest, with dr.boom at least you had your booms on the board. I dont think that can replace dr.boom tho. However, it seems proper against aggros.
N'Zoth's Tentacle will finally add some more positivism to this card. Hopefully...
the next patron warrior card
Say hello to Dr. Boom/Sludge Belcher 2!
I honestly think this card is way better than most people and streamers are giving it credit. It's stat-line isn't too bad, and he will be an absolute monster against Aggro and Zoo decks. He seem's like he'll be a really good tech card, if anything. That being said, he resembles the very strong 3-Drop Imp Gang Boss, albeit a much slower version of him. Would definitely be an auto-include in every deck if he was a 4/8.
[EDIT]
Additionally, he has, considering he will always spawn at least 1 Gnoll, a total of 16 stats; which when compared to Boulderfist Ogre, one of the best Vanilla's in the game, who has a total of 13 stats, but for one mana less. However, when compared to this card, for an extra mana you get a total of 3 stats more.
I like him quite a bit. Might try him in Shaman with Ancestral Healing and see how it works. Priest could work too with all its healing.
