This might not have occured to most of you; but I believe with the next expansion Blizz is focusing more on Board Control rather than just going face With everything..
After a lot of presuming..... It might be playable in arena.
But let's be honest here. I'd rather pick any other legendary than this...
Unfortunately, (a) this card has received a lot of flak, (b) the arguments about Gruul 2.0, BGH target, weak in tradings, mana-expensive etc. are all correct. I don't even see it as an Arena card. I can't really understand what the designers were thinking. They need to release some very lukewarm or even bad cards, I get it, in order to keep powercreep in check, to open up unpredicted gaming situations (for example from Unstable Portal, Sneed, Paletress, brawls etc).
But so far this expansion also feels very lukewarm to me, so it needs some serious boost and not... that. Until now, the released cards seem to follow a pattern of "one step forward, two steps back". Some interesting cards are introduced, very few being terrific (N'Zoth the Corruptor, C'Thun) and all the rest with lots of question marks. We have to wait and see what comes next, but to me so far WoG seems like the most underwhelming card set so far out of all expansions and adventures.
We need a new button next to Disenchant Extra Cards:
Disenchant The Boogeymonster
you peoples rly dont see the combo? oh wow, its actually insanely good.
Its obvious a extremely strong combo with the 1. April, its just leaked way to early.
Dear, I hope that the cards yet to be released somehow justify this card's legendary status.
Assuming Blizzard noticed the placid meta brought by GvG&Nax minions with absurd deathrattle, I expect the new set gives us a way to counterplay decks that run N'Zoth, the Corruptor in the upcoming wild format.
(Maaaybe some spells and minions in the set will end up summoning (or even dumping a bunch of) useless/harmful minions with useless/harmful deathrattle effect on your opponent's board, giving The Boogeymonster, Hogger, Doom of Elwynn, and Giant Sand Worm something to chew on, or letting you screw with the enemy N'Zoth, the Corruptor.)
Too less information to evaluate
8 mana is a little too high for the given ability it has. You would have to play priest and keep healing it, which would be a waste of mana..
okay so this should not be a legendary. having to lose health and actually kill a minion to get more attack and a little bit more health is just a weird and unfinished concept. i doubt i will have any play but who knows , maybe he would shape the new meta ( i doubt it though ).
doesn't gruul gain +1/+1 after each turn?
Yes, I think he meant that on each of your turn Gruul already gains two +1/+1, without needing to kill something with it.
The fact he's 6/7 puts him out of BGH range on the initial turn, but 8 mana is way too much for what he does. I doubt he'd even see play at 7 mana and you're right that he's a worse Gruul.
He might be alright if it was gain +2/+2 everytime he takes damage, then he might see play in some warrior decks. Even then, he'd be a worse version of Gahz'rilla
The only way this guy will see play is from Confessor Paletress or Unstable Portal/Sneed's Old Shredder in wild. He wouldn't even be a great arena pick.
i think its meant that ONLY if you attack with it at your turn and it kills something it gains stats. that means if someone attacks into it it wouldnt which is really bad
Actually, if you taunt this guy up, he can gain stats faster than gruul against a bunch of weak minions...but, yea, I don't see anyone using this.
don't think so.
I think the meaning it's that if it get attacked and the minion that attack it dies it won't gain any stat.
"Whenever this minion attacks AND kills another minion, gain +2/+2." It has to attack and kill a minion to get +2/+2 otherwise it would be worded "Whenever this minion attacks gain +2/+2. Whenever this minion kills another minion it gains +2/+2."
But it could be how you described, Hearthstone is known for having inconsistent wording in their card text.
He's called "The Boogeymonster" because when you open packs and see the orange glow, you're scared it might be him.
:D :D :D agreed
bullshit card, shitty expansion ever ... i just saw 2-3 good cards ...
feel regret for paying this shit , wish i pre-purchased overwatch. atleast i love overwatch.
just see some garbage cards reveal and noob players are happy of them, beginners are happy also.
still not comparative card to previous expansions. there are lots of story in warcraft, thousand of characters and we see this shits reveals. do you guys have lack of characters?
wish i could pre-purchased overwatch. this totally garbage is disaster.
"still not comparative card to previous expansions"
how is that a bad thing? Oh we want all around RNG cards so game is more competitive and all decks play the same, like Knife juggler (stupid card included in almost every deck), mad scientist (ridiculous card in every deck with secrets), voidcaller (creates the most powerful combo in the game with malganis), zombiechow (get it on turn 1 win a game), dont forget haunted creepers, belcher, SHREDDER. Oh and don't forget Dr.7, best card designed in the game.
You should be happy those cards are leaving making space for some card game and not luck game
