No.
I tried I really did. I spent night after night trying to figure this guy out. I thought "Hey I'll make another silly gimmick deck" but no this card is actually more useless than my bachelors of fine arts. This card is the hearthstone equivalent to someone who gets surgery to have fake body builder muscles. They look tough until you take a swing and they go down like a sack of bricks.
LOOK AT THIS LOSER
Captains parrot trades better than he does because at least then you can get a kind of draw power out of it. He dies to everything. He is the alternate universe harvest golem. But instead of having a goatee and doing evil things he dies in one shot for absolutely no value. Literally not having a card in your deck would be better because at least then you could draw something good.
The only combo I could find that works with him is void terror. His most useful function is DYING.
He'd be an ok card if he just had ONE MORE HEALTH. Then he'd be playable and in fact kinda ok but right now he's that kid on the playground that all the teachers are worried might not pass kindergarten again.
Magma Rager is guy you take with you to a bar that is suppose to be your wing man but then totally tries to get with the girl you are chatting up. He comes over and says something weird like "Are you an angel because my arms sure are tired?" (yeah with a question mark) Then he spends the rest of the evening talking about how awesome he is because he used to be a little league baseball team's waterboy. THAT'S MAGMA RAGER.
Any slightly valid strategy you could have with him would work better with any other card. Think about it you could use a wisp+power overwelming+void terror for 4 mana! Is that bad? YEAH BUT ITS STILL BETTER ISN'T IT?
Magma rager is more of a disappointment to my life than finding out that Santa isn't real.
Side note: Do you know how soul crushing that was for me? I cried dude.
Combos:
Magma rager+ power overwhelming+Void terror: Kill him from your deck
Spam your hero power: End the suffering
Strategies
Call your mom. Tell her you love her.
Use the sorry command constantly no one deserves to have to deal with this.
Future improvements
Remove magma rager and replace him with literally any card.

Why Baron Riverdare?
The Magma Rager is obviously best in Shaman. If she takes non-fatal damage, she can be healed with a Healing Totem or healed up to full Health with Ancestral Healing, which also creates a very sturdy Taunt.
Moreover, Healing Totem + Magma Rager(s) + Faceless Manipulator-ed Auchenai Soulpriest is incredibly powerful.
But the ultimate combo is naturally (with Baron Rivendare on board) Magma Rager + Ancestral Spirit + Ancestral Spirit + Reincarnate + Coin + Unstable Ghoul. Your opponent is guaranteed to insta-concede after that.
Nobody has linked this video yet, and it NEEDS be seen.
Trolden is amazing.
Magma ranger is definitively overpowered:
Magma Rager 5/1
The Coin
Crazed Alchemist on Magma Rager: 1/5
Power Word: Shield 1/7
Divine Spirit x2: 1/28
Inner Fire: 28/28
And if it is already on the field and you can attack with him, he is even MORE OVERPOWERED:
Magma Rager on the field: 5/1
Crazed Alchemist: 1/5
Power Word: Shield x2: 1/9
Divine Spirit x2: 1/36
Inner Fire: 36/36
MAGMA RANGER IS DEFINITIVELY OVERPOWERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111
I have Golden Magma Rager for playing too much with Shaman. :D
I think a ballad must be made for the Magma Rager.
I can not figure her out, I thought I could divine shield her (Magma Rager is a Lady by the way) then power her up, but I found the buffs were better spent on, well, better cards.
Got the perfect strategy for countering this deck:
Just cast Inner Fire on your opponent's Magma Rager and let it alive on his/her side of the board for the whole turn. The shame is so big that he/she will concede next round.
This deck is gud guise you should try it, it's better than your hunter deck. Trust me....
Magma Rager CAN BE GOOD. Simple logic : force your opponent to cast a spell/put down a creature that does at least 1 damage, when he would need to do something else ( like put up a taunt or deal with your drake that gives you +1 spell power ). It's all about timing, give it a thought captain "parrots trade better".
For those that need more help with this deck
Mulligan Strategy : - Find Magma Rager as soon as you can and if you have coin then it's even better. Coin turn 2 into Magma Rager to kill him from your deck. The sooner he goes, the sooner you win. ez.
Magma rager + mortal coil = value
If you think Magma is raging now, wait until he reads this post.
That was hillarious :D :D :D :D
magma rager + shadowflame?
What do I exchange Guld'dan for, if i havent unlocked the class yet?
It's okay, Magma Rager. I still love you.
It got me to legend in 2 days. Thanks a lot!
Really?, well this is fun don't you think :)
Keep upvoting this deck! Maybe some noobs will actually use it, and think it works because of all the attention it is getting :P
