this card is fantastic against zoo :D finally a counter to it which doesnt affect too much the game (if RNG doesnt summon for him a free doomguard or leeroy)
You understand that zoo will use it to protect its creatures too, right?
A great card to play against aggro decks with many small minions! After Nax many will play double owl and spellbreaker so a silence on it will be great!
Yeah I think this could be ok in Zoo for creature protection. And I guess ok in Priest if you go all combo-wombo. But overall it doesn't look that great.
This card is INSANE! By both meanings of the word, on one hand you have the most stat-efficient minion in game, 2/8 blowing the vanilla test's 3/3 out of the water with an upside of taunt! That said it has a very detrimental deathrattle should the opponent deal with it efficiently. Overall this card has synergy with other cards with great stats but bad effects like Ancient Watcher, Wailing Soul, Dancing Swords, and The Beast. As well as any silence effect in the game like Spellbreaker and Ironbeak Owl

Zoo may or may not use this. Playing this against a control deck is devastating, and zoo can't afford the tempo loss of drawing a situational card.
Blizzard has just announced the Deathlord
I will do something with this. I don't know what, but I will. Maybe use it in a mill deck since it'll remove one more card from your opponent's deck?
Wow, solid.
*Kneels down to pray to the RNG gods...*
Should call it RNG Deathlord.
Depending on what deck you are playing against that could backfire big time. (Handlock, for example)
And he's Kodo/Shadow Word: Pain/Cabal bait.
Will be a awesome card, for turn 3 against aggro to be sure.
The negative it that it's like giving a Mindgames to the opponent.
May play this in a druid deck, or any deck that has a silence if I feel like I have to silence it after turn 4.
Not sure if hyped yet.
As a 3 drop, for sure destined to be Inner Fired.
If not Divine Spirit + Inner Fire.
I'd love to see that happen and they pull their Big Game Hunter, and because of the summon instead of play mechanic the Battlecry doesn't trigger.

*summons Leeroy*
*rogue cries*
Seems like a decent 1x meta slot either for or against Zoo, definitely a top pick in Arena tho'.

Strongest card in the set for now
I wonder why the text is "Taunt: Deathrattle: ..." while in other cards "Taunt. Deathrattle: ..."

Great to counter aggro deck.
Negtive deathrattle effect makes it weaker against control deck. (Remember that putting a minion onto battlefild doesn't trigger battlecry.)
Vulnerable to Stamping Kodo & Black Night (Neutral) / Deathword: Pain & Cabal Priesr (Priest)
Also good for Zoo itself. Shieldbearer can be pain and what about this?

All i can say is Kodos and Crazed Alchemists are gonna be dang near must haves....
This card will be horrible in arena btw
Huge card. not the strongest in the set but def huge. I'd say top 3.
