I would assume it gets a new health cap, since it would be stated otherwise, but yknow Blizzard and their consistency. Design-wise, I think it's health would be capped since this card would be significantly stronger in some classes than others (Priest, Druid, Pallys, especially Shamans with Ancestral Healing etc. all have burst healing).
Yeah, I was asking myself the same question. At first I thought that this card takes dmg depending on how many cards the opponent has in his hand. Then, I realized one can interpret it as dealing dmg to the hero (the card says "lose" not "loses"). And now you come up with a notion of "capped health" (which is logical and probable). If you are correct, then can you silence this beast?
Having seen it in action now: the battlecry is a "change health" effect like Equality. If you silence it, it reverts to 12 base health.
For extra clarity: if say the opponent has 6 cards in hand, this comes into play as a 3/6 with NO damage taken. The 6 is white.
Guys, it's not a 3/12. It averages a 3/7 and it's basically a druid card and then it's probably not any better than good old druid of the claw. Unless we see a heavy aggro meta, this card is pretty balanced and if it does end up being OP, There's still the black knight.
It's a Beast, so cards such as Witching Hour are strong, Druids have tons of minion buffs, Druids have tons of Taunt synergies (Hadronox, Strongshell Scavenger, etc.), and to certain extent, Druids have tons of burst healing. While other control oriented decks might run this (Control Priest, Control Pally, Resurrect Shaman), it would (theoretically) most likely be played the most in Druid decks.
I love this card.
Against your average aggro deck you can play this on average as a 3/8, against Warlock it's a 3/2 most of the time.
Could definitely work in Hadronox-Taunt Druid though. Too bad it can't be recruited.
Master Oakheart plz
Quite a good card here.

*crocodile tears squirting into the ocean of emotions*
THANK GOD I DIDN'T PREORDER. Because people LOVE having a giant taunt be thrown on the board turn 5. Because we needed more of that. Because it takes a lot of skill to play cubelock/big priest. Oh yeah and this card will come back as a 3 12 with Carniverous Cube.
"oh now that aggro's gone, we can finally have a control meta!". Oh yeah because control metas are soooooo fun. May I remind people that just because aggro isn't viable, doesn't mean your "fun" timmy decks will work. Your timmy decks will just be bullied to death by one or 2 particular oppressive control decks like cube-lock. Id rather a meta where I don't have to own 8 class legendaries to play a boring slow control vs control game where I lose on the spot if they play a giant threat and I don't have my one of 2 removals in my deck because certain classes like warlock, priest, and mage get to have like 10 different removals whereas classes like warrior get 4, that only work sometimes, rogue + shaman gets 2, hunter gets 0. Hope you guys enjoy another year of a "big" deck meta.
It's almost Arcturis from WoW, but not quite yet. Still waiting :)
Fun fact: Witchwood Grizzly is now the second-cheapest card in the game with more than 10 base Health. (Cheapest being the Darkness.)
Thank goodness Firelands Portal is rotating.
This card will B unbearable since every deck will B running dis card with crazed alchemist 4 12 free face damage 2 klaw face.
So that's why Firelands Portal is OP...
Posted in the unveiling but yah, this card is NOT going live. First card to make me drop my jaw
this setsince I started fucking playing and it's a rare/neutral? This is the solo answer to aggro decks at expansion launch and it's honestly going to be enough.I am so incredibly excited to try some sort of control Druid that mixes ping damage/fatigue.
blizzard wtf
I suspect this card will be nerfed... so i wont be dusting any of these for three months.
