Cairne Bloodhoof was the Chief of the united tribes of the tauren, chieftain of the Bloodhoof, leader of Thunder Bluff, and the final wielder of the Bloodhoof Runespear. Allying with the Horde upon its arrival on the shores of Kalimdor, Cairne stood as one of its wisest and most venerated leaders, until his unfortunate death in a duel against Garrosh Hellscream, the new Warchief of the Horde. He was succeeded as chief by his son, Baine Bloodhoof.
Cairne Bloodhoof
Card Text
Deathrattle: Summon a 5/5 Baine Bloodhoof.
Flavor Text
Cairne was killed by Garrosh, so... don't put this guy in a Warrior deck. It's pretty insensitive.

Completely suck cuz Sylvanas Windrunner
this card is back! thx to Unearthed Raptor
Whatever happened to good ol' Cairne Bloodhoof? Poor guy.
hi is this card in classic or goblins packs plz
classic packs man
ty :)))))
i just got this guy hes pretty good
I've got a golden one of these. So tempted to dust it! Nobody plays it anymore...
Lol same here I guess it's not that bad tho, people don't play mind control anymore, it's still OP.. these trends aren't always logical
I see no reason whatsoever why blizzard might change this card (so that dusting returns full value) so I'd say dust it.
I know this guy has a place somehwere, I just don't know where it is. Maybe some kind of midrange-y list with Undertaker and stuff like that, idk. Undertaker would probably just be used to trade into something in the midgame. Maybe Baron Rivendare?
I'm going to the deckbuilder.
4th legendary that i got from tavern brawl only (this week's brawl) :D
This card used to be a staple for midrange or controlldecks now he is forgotten :(
"Why is he alliance?". Does nobody know Warcraft lore here? He was one of the horde leaders that saw that Garrosh wasn't good for the horde, so did Vol'jin, (leader of the trolls). Garrosh hellscream believed orcs to be superior, and was against all other races of the horde, like trolls and taurens, and cairne was the Chieftain of the taurens. The other horde leaders put a stop to Garrosh, he is now dead and Vol'jin is current warchief of the horde. Think of it like a civil war.
Yeah in a way, he was for the true horde, the old horde. Where only orcs where a part of the horde.
He wasn't... then he was... then he wasn't... then he was... and then he was an Old God's puppet.
Blizzard couldn't really figure out what they wanted to do with him.
Look at it this way.
6 mana for 2 4/5s is a 8/10.
6 mana for a 8/10 is GOOD.
2 Chillwind yetis for 2 less mana crystals in 1 card is GOOD.
It's not rocket science. Since it's a deathrattle, it's better against AOE. Sure if it gets polymorphed or hexed that would suck. If they silence it, it's still a 4/5 minion. Great in control decks.
Overall Card Grade: B+
how come he is in the alliance faction? he is horde!
This card is still very good don't get me wrong.
The reason it has fallen from must play to don't play is simple how many really powerful cards contest the mid range mana pool of 5,6,7 mana now compared to when Hearthstone was first released.
you have cards that have always been good like Sylvanas Windrunner but now you have cards such as Emperor Thaurissan
People are comparing this to Piloted Shredder but piloted shredder is for both early (all be it late in the early game) and mid game + it also is a mech for those pesky mages / shamans (yeah other classes can play mechs but these are the main two) so it fits into a lot more decks ,not to mention the chances of having a meaningful silence used on a Piloted Shredder is a lot lower as it is less of a threat overall.
EDIT: also why is his faction marked as Alliance?
Good. Old. Forsaken.
