Conclusion: Definitely a peculiar card that can have some high-mana pull, and that's not even including being able to yank out, say, Ysera from a Cold Blood, Lyra the Sunshard from an Inner Fire or take your pick from Blessing of Kings. It also seems to synergize with board-clear Warlock, as many of the cards listed are Deathrattle as well and Meat Wagon would give it some nice pull. Hope this helped and have a good day.
Agreed. It absolutely seems like it could become a staple in swap-Priest decks, or Warlock deathrattle "screw you I'm going to keep destroying everything on the board" decks. I'm personally excited to see it in handbuff Pally, considering how well eggs and deathrattle cards synergize with them.
This is a rather niche card at best until some overpowered zero to low attack minion incentivizes someone to try building around it. Potion of Madness is a strong disincentive to try though, particularly in arena.
Summoning Stone in Wild is probably the most interesting attempt to get value out of an unbuffed Meat Wagon but this would have the same or worse reliability to any Barnes Combo deck.
You need more imagination than that to make this work, so far the list isn´t even necessary as we all know those effects and they are easy to come by.
There is a nice way to play the card but it depends on the deck and not in "how to activate it" as how to do that is common sense and basic knowledge rather than something that needs to be described.
As in, this is your only -3 attack minion on the deck and you can pull it out to get this strong effect that has synergies with your whole deck.
I actually disagree. Buffing it would lead to rng fest, not buffing it leads to guaranteed summon.
That's not always true. You can still get a guaranteed summon if you buff it and there is only one minion with that low of attack in your deck. Malygos comes to mind. I don't think a deck like that would be particularly good, but maybe that's what you're looking for.

Sorry but you don't play a crappy stated minion for 4 mana just to get you another crapped stated minion.
Puts down Cold Blood, gets crappy Ysera.
the only way i can see this is being playable is like Galvadon paladin because its two bodys and even then its really slow
turn 5 meatwagon + coldlood turn 6 praise and get malygos and play the sax
not an insane card but can see play in more gimmick decks and ofcourse trolden
You don't play it at all without buffs in your deck, and even then you don't play it.
You could use it with some shenanigans including Crazed Alchemist or Inner Fire in a Deathrattle deck or you could simply run things like Validated Doomsayer
We're totally gonna see Divine Spirit - Inner Fire priest with Meat Wagon and Lightspawn.
Check out my entry for this week's Card Design Competition. Vote for it if you like it.
Let's wait for the death knights, maybe there is a hero power that raises this minions attack or something similar

Hand Buff Paladin? Anyone?
It's worse than the 3 mana egg from ungoro and that wasn't played that much, neither will this. Sucks that it is in an epic..

people who hate on cards like this are what's wrong with hearthstone.

I saw some one talk about spiritsinger umbra + meat wagon
If you desk has egg, you're going to get spiritsinger + meat wagon + egg + some from egg on the board.
It look too slow but very interesting one.
