2 Assassin's Blade is a bit much, you'll have 1 stuck in your hand or finding you have to go face because you've run out of HP. The Infested Tauren are bad, I would replace them with Tomb Pillager. Maybe Loot Hoarder instead of Pit Snake? And of course see what else comes out. Other than that I'd try something similar. Hopefully something good with taunt or heal that has a deathrattle will be printed. Don't know if Xaril is gonna be good outside of combo decks either, we'll have to see.
I went through the trouble of building a queen, saving up a ton of energy, and isolating a severely weakened tauren command center and this is all I get? I guess they just don't make infested like they used to.
This card isn't as bad as people are making it out to be and i'll explain why. (disclaimer: this is under the assumption that the slime has taunt. If the slime doesn't have taunt, then this card is as bad as people are making it out to be.)
First off, the obvious comparison to this is sludge belcher. Sludge belcher costs 1 more and gets +1 +1 ( adding the 1 attack to the slime) which is a standard increase for 1 mana. Now, sludge belcher was the go to taunt, but belcher wasn't actually that great vs agro as people make it out to be. Most face decks run 2 silences, and when belcher gets silenced it's no better than a sen jin shieldmasta, which is MUCH better vs face. Sen Jin is better vs agro because 1. you get it out a turn earlier which is huge because turn 3 is when the face deck should have the board and they start hitting their heavy damage the turn after. If you just had belcher, you'd take like 8-10 extra damage. And once they do kill your belcher, since theyre aggressive, theyre more than likely to have multiple minions, and ones that will not die to 1 single damage and have 2 attack, so in an agro vs control situation, the agro deck is very likely to damage efficiently remove the belcher. So shieldmasta is better in that situation. The tauren might not be that great because the 2 attack isn't threatening enough and the 3 hp doesnt block much, but it's still better than belcher because you can get it out faster.
However, sludge belcher is much better than shieldmasta vs control decks, because it will always block 2 attacks and is very likely to have overkill, because it defends against big minions. The tauren does the same thing, and the hp is irrelevant because it will be tanking big minions, so it's a buff to sludge belcher, it just loses out on the 1 attack, but it gains the 1 attack on the spawn.
In a nutshell, don't judge the card just yet, it's not bad at all. (again, this is implying that the slime has taunt lol)
Infested Tauren = No Taunt Slime
Blizzard confirms the Slime dropped from Infested Tauren will not have Taunt.

Honestly, I believe this card is
strictlyarguablybetteron par with Tauren Warrior.Once the cost is reduced to 3 with Emperor Thaurissan
I don't know man, you could pingthe other one and it could trade with a 5 drop.
This will not see Standard or Wild unless it's a deathrattle deck - and we'll have more deathrattle-buff cards. I sincerely believe it's made for brawl or maybe... arena ?
It is a 2/3 for 4 that silence is not even needed to neutralize it if u have a board, solid minion/tempo plays like Backstab, Blackwing Corrupter, or even a simple Sen'Jin can effectively get it done
Even if it survives, there's not much power to command over with a 2/3 to attack with. Because the slime has no taunt, its basic function of portecting minions also gets offset by sen'jin.
And im not even going to get into stuff like Cabal Shadow Priest...
this card is so bad that makes me sad :c
That's not what standard is for... every card game ever has a standard format that works on rotation so that the pool doesn't get stale. And you don't HAVE to buy anything. Iv'e got enough gold for 18 packs saved so far. By the time it is beginning of April I could have like 50 packs of gold.
People complaining about the stats and so on. But do you realized the art is OP ? I mean, there's a f**king Kraken on the Background !
nobody realize this cards purpose, if people start playing 4 mana 5,4 minions because of the loss of shredder, would you rather have this or Sen'jin?
If your argument is that another minion will kill the slime, then it should not matter if the slime has taunt, and then it still soaks up a hit from a 5,4 and another minion. Effectively still doing more then Sen'Jin
People keep complaining.. what do you want guys? op broken creeps like shredder and belcher?
People complain because this card is unplayable, it's far below average. Very often it will be like 2/5 for 4 mana, it's worse than a harvest golem imo
This would just be stirictly better than Harvest Golem
They are really forcing themself to not reprinting.
It would be better to summon Tentacle or sth else instead of slime.
The fact that it trades with 3 mana minions should tell you enough how bad this card is...
