In control warrior?
Yes, I play it in control warrior.
Cool! Explain in more detail, would you?
I've been having a blast with this card in control warrior! It's Dr. Boom-lite!
You mean Dr. Welfare right?
Cheap replacement for some legendaries in a control warrior. While Alextrasza and Sylvannas is important to have, this card could at least replace Grommash or Ysera if the players don't wish to craft those.
I haven't, but I still see those cards exist in other CW. It's not that it's totally obsolete. I dunno what exactly is the latest CW meta though.
How is this common and Hogger a legendary?
Actually Obsidian Destroyer is better than Hogger , even though he can be countered by BGH, if your decks have several BGH targets it is not that much of a deal.
hogger cannot be touched by Big game hunter Battlecry, priest shadow word death and pain unless they spend something extra to modify the value, and spawns 2/2 taunts instead of 1/1 taunts., and is cheaper in mana cost overall hogger's answers are smaller than this things. if we talk arena then it may be different but testing and whatnot.
warrior just got a huge buff in arena
This card is really nice in general, cause it generates 1/1 with taunt, it might slow down the attacker, specially when there is no way to do 1 damage to it.
Also a cool idea is that this card fits in Bolster deck. And I really like playing decks like this, they are fun to play.
Hogger that spawns Jeering Crowd.
Because warriors are so good in arena right now....
Yeah this is a definite target for big game hunter.
I'm just amazed that it is a common card. Where is the scarab token?
Why people are saying this is better than Hogger is beyond me.
Sure it has better stats.
It's also easier to take out, not harder, because not -only- is it BGH'able but the 1/1 Scarab dies to anything. This includes tiny tokens and most Hero Powers.
It's so fragile compared to a 2/2 that at least doesn't die to anything in the entire world.
I suppose it's true that it gains +3/+3 for one mana but you also have to realize that a natural curve gains +1/+1 normally for 1 extra mana so the real tradeoff is that you get in addition to the normal mana/stat buff is that he gains an additional +2/+2 but with worse bodies to summon.
While he doesn't die to things like Eviscerate or Kill Command (though Fireball+Ping kills it), I don't think the worse bodies make this guy stronger.
Even worse, the only deck that can run this is Control Warrior. Which uses... Doctor Boom and Baron Geddon. He's not better than either, if Boom isn't the only 7 drop you want, then you run Geddon.
The only "saving grace" for this guy over Boom/Geddon is that Boom doesn't get the Battlecry if it's Varian Wrynn'd, so it's just a 7/7, while this guy still gets his effect and having any sort of Taunt whatsoever to protect both him and Varian ramps up the value very heavily.
The problem is you're then making the statement "Because I am running Wrynn, I don't want to run Battlecries."
So no Trueheart (not mandatory but really, really strong and close to it), probably only one Shieldmaiden (normally you run 1+Trueheart or 2), I don't think dropping Trueheart and Maidens is worth it -if- you are making that statement.
If your argument is that Shieldmaiden still gets value regardless or could be played earlier, the same goes for Boom, so matter how you look at it, Geddon and Boom beat this guy out in Control Warrior.
This guy is strong for two things, however.
1. Arena I think this is good; War Golem is already decently good in Arena so this guy is definitely strong.
2. Budget decks for newer players wanting to make a Control-Esque deck (since Control Warrior is very expensive). It's at least a start.
It's very obvious that this card was never meant to be anything except for a buff to arena warriors.
Discount Hogger...
*talking offscreen*
Oh wait this is just as good??? The Hearthstone World just became a happier place.
The Dr Boom of poor person xD
