People are comparing this to Fel Reaver, but this is SO much better. For some reason people imagine tons of 1/1's trading into this to kill but in reality your opponent will be pressured to deal with this as efficiently as possible with a removal spell or by trading his large/midsize minions on board. The drawback is really minuscule in my experience so far.
lol but this card is amazing and still is great
My dream is somebody playing 2 of these on turn 10, thinking they are going to kill me, only for me to drop a volcano on them--potential of 45 face damage.
In a way you are right Mehemut, because shaman could roll spellpower totem, but OP said 45 because volcano does only 15 damage split.
I don't want a spellpower minion on the field because they would soak damage as well. Only kobold and thalnos even break even (1/1 with 1 SD or 2/2 with 2 SD).
Good point.
45*
Volcano deals 15 dmg.
Hello Purify :)
Exactly my thoughts!
This card and Humongous Razorleaf definitely make up for the loss of Eerie Statue
More I think about this card, scarier it gets. Many times the drawback won't even take effect, it'll just get hex'd or death'd, in which case that's one less answer for Highmane which can be played on curve right after. when it does take effect it'll likely only take 1-2 hits, sometimes 3. Which you don't even care about if you're the aggressor. I'm betting on average you only take 4-5 damage (if that), which basically makes it a much more powerful, neutral Pit Lord, with a beast tag. Nuts.
This card scares me. It's a 5 Mana 8/8 with no insane downside like Fel Reaver.
I think this card is bonkers in Pirate Warrior (1 copy), but i might be wrong. Also helps to Mortal Strike for 6. If this hits your face just once your'e basicaly dead.
Bouncing Blade against this on an otherwise empty board for a 24 damage to opponent's face!
THE DREAM!
Control warrior LUL No Justicar, No bashes, pirate aggro shit. Sure, control warriors is a thing EleGiggle
Follow the rules!
So neutral 5 mana 8/8 with 0 downside in aggro, has the potential to destroy the hopes for a control meta like the Pirates did in Gadgetzan
And here we have it. A Fel Reaver of new. Destroying your face instead of your cards. What a deal!
Honestly seems super strong! I love it! We needed some sweet hydra art too.
