Hope there is a card that corrupts your in play cards and each card have a diferent interaction with it
It does not need to corrupt every minion, make a text like "Corruption = give +2 atack to a minion, effects may vary" and it would be a pretty cool card. That is the advantage of a digital card game, some rules dont need to be writen on the card.
This guy should excel in standard with the loss of many sticky minions. He's also a pain to trade with as you want to one shot him if possible. But decks will start running hard removal with BGH nerf and fewer death rattles to deal with. In turn slowing the meta. It's going to be interesting to see what other new card synergize with this.
At first I thought this card really sucked, but I see some potential with him now. Warrior can certainly make use of this guy, especially in wild. I could also see some priest shenanigans with buffs. Hell, even without any combos, you can argue that this guy is like a bigger more expensive belcher (Grant it he is lacking taunt which is MAJOR). That said, he is big enough that you do not just want to leave him on the board, and you especially dont want them getting more than one gnoll from it because then they increase their value. I am curious to see how this guy turns out, and really hope he sees some use.
I think this could be decent in a priest deck against aggro. For example against face shaman, you're usually behind and have to trade your 4/7 blademaster into leper gnome or something small because you can't race him. This card is perfect solution, you're trading and getting some value from trading, then heal the hogger and trade again. But 7 mana is quite slow and it does nothing the first turn so I don't know, I'll have to test it first.
most of the time you should be dead turn 7 vs face shaman.
but i think this card is the replacement for dr 7 (but a bit more balanced): you ether have hard removal or you have to trade into a 6/6, then trade into a 2/2 and maybe trade again and then kill the secound 2/2(10/10 for 7 mana, value ;) ). also he will leave a 2/2 after aoes.
this card will force more decks to play hard removal like poly or hex. otherwise this can generate huge valueswings.
This card is as bad as Hogger itself.
Also, has anyone forgot about this guy? http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/12272-troggzor-the-earthinator
the difference between a spell and take damage is pretty huge:
1. its more common to have some small minions and a ping instead of a hand full of spells.
2. you can gernerate value out of hogger if he gets ignored.
3. you can proc the effect by yourself. 9 mana 6/5 and 2/2 taunt isnt that bad for a topdeck.
4. you force the enemy to have hardremoval or a huge minion (and even then a 8/8 for 7 mana of decent)
5. this card is good vs cards like knifejuggler(ok he will get nerfed), magic missile, flamejuggler, timepiece.
So instead of buffing the absolute trash tier cards into something usable... They're now just going to re-release them?
I mean, this is pretty much the same as buffing Hogger since he is non-existent anyway. The only difference with just buffing him is that you have to pay again to get the good version.
I am not a hugh fan of it, but i am more or less okay with Blizzard recycling names of old cards. However, i think they shouldn't do it with legendaries who are a charakter. Having two Hoggers feels strange. Apart from that i really like the concept of the Card.
dr boom is dead. we have these cards to consider now, and thats a realy good thing
If this card had taunt, it could be played in some decks, but without it is just too slow
This Card will suffer the same fate that Troggzor, most decks can 1 hit kill that and leave a 2/2 behind dont affect the board too much, was hoping for a better effect
First thing that came to mind was "Warrior"
Could find a home in patron warrior?
What is this ? I mean we will be getting all the old cards but cursed (Validated Doomsayer , Polluted Hoarder ) and now this,stupid and not new . Using the old card names but cursed so unoriginal and boring :(
Look , so far we have seen only few cards of the upcoming expansion and 3 of them have a card with a similar name from vanilla card set . Target audience ? What are u talking about bruh? I have been playing HS since closed beta and i loved every expansion and adventure that has been release.
Did u heard "all new is well forgotten old" ? New cards like Validated Doomsayer doesnt just copy old card, it is an interesting opinion what Doomsayer can become when the end times come, this cards is example of new thoughts about well known old card. You can say that all hearthstone is unoriginal becouse it uses old warcraft lore and old card game mechanics. Polluted Hoarder doesnt seems so interesting but its just a 'normal' card wich gives u options in deck creation.
