Summons
How to Get
- This card is earned in the Blackrock Mountain Adventure.
- Defeat Coren Direbrew in the first wing, Blackrock Depths, to unlock two copies of the card.
- Once you have earned the regular version of Grim Patron, you can craft the golden version for 800 Arcane Dust.
Clarificiations
- If Grim Patron has a Divine Shield, and it is attacked, it will not summon another Grim Patron due to it not actually receiving damage. (CM_Zeriyah)
Not nearly as OP as people make it out to be the only thing that makes this deck good is emperor without it most match ups just turn into a 50/50 if not worse.
Yeah but they have so much card draw that they always get it...
More broken than Dr Boom.
I would have never, ever saw this one coming.
If you were to tell me that this 5 mana 3/3 gimmick was going to redefine the entire meta, I would think you're crazy.
Actually bugfix to warsong commander is responsible for all this mess, the warrior OTK deck would be pretty damn good with just raging worgens and frontings.
The best nerf to Grim Patron is to nerf Warsong Commander. How? Just simply replace the word Summon with Play. Suddenly, sure the first GP has charge. Every other GP spawned by the first? NOPE.
Effects of that proposed nerf:
OTK is still technically possible. Grim Patron loses an easy board clear, and the deck loses consistency. With this change, the deck has to OTK to really be capable of much. Deck might fall to tier 2 or 3, but it probably wouldn't altogether die.
If killing the Warsong interaction is your main goal, however, you might want to consider suggesting Grim Patrons be 4/3. (Funny how Hearthstone works. An attack increase from 3 to 4 for some cards is a nerf. An attack decrease from 7 to 6 for most cards is a buff.)
Roughly sodomise this card.
and Warsong.
and Frothing.
and maybe Battle Rage too.
Come to think of it, roughly sodomise Hearthstone.
I might be salty.
When I first saw this I thought it was a gimmick. Now I think it may end up being the future banner for ISIS.
This card is stupid you literally cannot kill it without a board clear of 3 or more damage. When played another 2-3 come out... No way to kill 3-4 minions except by clearing the board especially considering dropping a belcher or something similar just multiplies it. One inner rage and a whirlwind from deaths bite is a 5 mana 5/1, 3/3, 3/2 and 3/3 or 14/infinity.
Will get a nerf pretty soon hehe
Ehhh... I'd say Battle Rage is the problem card in that deck. Nerfing Unleash the Hounds did nothing to stop Starving Buzzard after all.
This was my comment on this card about two months ago. I could not have been more wrong. I finally decided to try out the Grim Patron combo deck this week, and well... I'm 9-3 with it so far. Sure, things can kill it pretty easily, but once this actually hits the board, the game's pretty much over regardless.
A very interesting card indeed, definitely worth the hate and keyboards smashed for the number of times he can catch opponents off-guard.

This card needs to be nerfed seriously.There are classes which CANNOT HANDLE THIS(Paladin for example)And i dont want to hear about equality-consecration combo.Will you do it for 1 card??? HAS ANYONE OF YOU HEARD THE TERM CARD!@######$%^&*()ADVANTAGE? Even if you manage to take out the grim patrons you will be either on the brink of defeat either they will have destroy 5+ of your cards...
Just playing grim patron doesn't fill the board with grim patron. It needs an activator, such as whirlwind or cruel taskmaster. Many times, more than two cards is invested into grim patron. This means that the equality-consecration combo doesn't generate a card disadvantage and most of the time will create a card advantage for you. Paladin cannot handle oil rogue as well. Does that mean oil rogue is OP?
I honestly thought this was gonna be one of the worst out of BRM, just after Executus, boy was I wrong!
Rise of the warrior))
This card needs nerfed plain and simple. Anybody saying other wise is playing this card.. Worst cancer in hearthstone yet. Right above face hunter and mechmage.
I 100% agree. I don't know who down voted you but I think this card is annoying and needs to be cut down to size. There is a reason why 19 out of 20 warriors I vs are Grim Patron warriors. Because it is to easy to win when you have the right combo. My pally deck i might as well concede because just so little removal to take out the mass number of them.
