Card Clarifications
- Yogg's Battlecry effects all potential targets, including your own hero. (Source)
- Yogg is able to hit himself with the spells cast. If he dies during the Battlecry, it will still continue. (Source)
- This is no longer the case. If Yogg kills himself, the spells stop.

why did you have to nerf this
Press F to pay respects.
Does way more harm than good nowadays.
Kind regards: Got pyroblasted into own face 3rd time in a row.
//Next game it shadowsteps itself and next turn it just soul siphons itself. What a damned troll he is to me.
10 mana Overload 8: Restore 3 health to your hero.
My main issue now is that Yogg has become even more of a ginormous coin flip. At least as long as he was consistently good you could just shrug it off when he scrwed you over bigtime.
Now it's even more of a "why didn't he just kill himself?"
I have faced 3 Yoggs since nerf (which I love because fuck that card)
first one first spel: Vanish gg,
second one: Call of the Wild x 2, Blessing of Kings on Yogg, Consecration and a bunch of Secrets from Mage and Hunter wtf!!,
third one: Call of the Wild (Again!), Holy Nova, Arcane Intelect, Lay on Hands and Assasinate on Yogg.
So yeah... I still hate the card.
Assassinate can only target enemy minions.
Sorry haha then it was something similar like Mulch or something I don't remember.
It was clearly OP before nerf but now it is somewhat useful but not a game winning card anymore. My first encounter with nerfed yogg was hilarious though. The guy was about to lose the game, played Yogg and Yogg's first spell was shadow word:Death on itself :D I literally burst into laughter XD
After the nerf I exchanged it with ragnaros firelord.
Loved yogg, 10 mana bombs should be just that, bombs.
Why didn't they just move him to Wild instead of destroying him completely. . .
Blizzard nerfed yogg to stop him reaching tournaments. Why not just ban him from tournaments?
I loved this guy before,i am hating him now..NO matter the bitching he had got he was actually pretty concistent.He cleared the board and drew cards 70% of the time.Now though..
When i play him in my control decks he instant kills himself,when the bming scum mage plays him,he clears my boards,deals damage to me,fills the a**hole's board and draws him cards.So mega salty!They made an rng card even more rng now.Great!
Rip Yogg :( i guess blizzard and some people think you might be way too OP to exist, maybe they think a nice 30+ anyfin can happen to the face or a freeze mage burst is more balanced...
not to mention the risk involved in playing this, was sure a good minion, but can also kill the player who used it (i've seen it lot of times) , but in order to yogg to be good, you must feed him with lots of spells, just like C'thun need his minions and n'zoth needs the deathrattle ones... Meaning is not a insta-win when you use it, you have to play a long game to let it be good (or not), really sad nerf. Now yogg can be pretty much a: 10 mana: vanish himself, silence himself, kill itself, etc... And do nothing this turn, like, what? Happened a lot of times when i played him, a 10 mana card is meant to be good, not absolute trash and nerfed to death. not to mention it was one of the most fun cards ever. So you could be killed by yogg? Sure you could, but is rng based, maybe if you don't like this, a solid 30+ damage anyfin to the face can make you happier, when there is really nothing you can do to escape, maybe some people think this is more balanced... Well, rip yogg
Rest In Piss..
Great nerf guys, you keep it up :D
