Because it's premium stats.
It trades favorably with most 4 drops (usually 3/5's, 4/4's, 4/5's etc.) and survives to trade again the next turn. Meanwhile you're usually gonna play only 1 card turn 5, resulting in milling just 3 cards from the top of your deck, which is usually meaningless.
It's just a meme card so people can use it with Treachery and make people discard their stuff.

I don't get it. why am i getting only one attack from a yeti for a card with a pretty huge downside. I don't understand the point...unless its just treachery shenanigans?
silence priest card ? silence goes on before you drop the cards right ?
Sadly no, it says when you play a card, so it will go off. :P
And there are better cards to play in silence priest
Treachery ?
too bad Treachery is only 2 spells there are far too many targets that already have this throw away type effect
7 mana and 3 removed cards from your deck (because I guess it triggers when you play treachery) just to remove the top 3 cards of your opponent, or maybe nothing (if he chooses to trade before playing anything)??
I like the art and concept behind this card, but it's terrible and unplayable as it is now.
I'm curious to see if you could make this work in Warlock with Treachery and then keep freezing it. Probably way too janky for competitive play but could be a fun deck to try.
Stick this to their side of the board and keep freezing it and they can't play anything without milling themselves a lot. Best thing they could do is remove it but they still take three cards off their deck. Couple this with Gnomeferatu and Coldlight Oracle and it's Mill Memelock ahoy!
Ehhh maybe if it was 3 mana? I rather play Yeti
Jade Druid and Quest Hunter buff!
Edit: kappa
Kappa?
I dont understand the hate on this card. As trump once said, basically every aggro deck would gladly discard the first 10 cards of their deck if it meant getting a free 1-1 on the board at the start of the game, and while this most likely wont see play, it can be thought of in the same way. It's a better yeti with no drawback unless you hit fatigue in an aggro/midrange deck.
free 1-1 on turn 1 = free 4\2 on turn 4
If this had more aggressive stats like 7/7 (to continue the memes) this might not be targeted as hatefully, but as it is the card's only benefit is having +1 attack over a Chillwind Yeti. That is god-aweful for this kind of a drawback!
Because on one hand, people over exaggerate significance of it's drawback, and on the other hand, the upside is really minuscule. You probably won't take a risk of encountering freeze mage (or maybe shaman with new freeze cards) and actually destroying your deck just for the +1 attack yeti.
Shame that this card is exactly the sort of thing I would never (personally) play. I love that art for it.
This is one of the top picks for arena. Just dont pick too many of them.
