Fought against a Cubelock with my Secret Tempo Mage. My Mirror Entity triggered on his [card]Carnivorous Cube[card/] that destroyed his [card]Doomguard[card/]. He killed my [card]Carnivorous Cube[card/] with [card]Hellfire[card/]. I was about to use [card]Flamestrike[card/] against his taunts next turn,THEN he summoned [card]Hungry Ettin[card/] which summoned a [card]Doomsayer[card/] which killed my [card]Doomguard[card/]s. Feelsbadman.

Conclusion
Hungry Ettin is not as bad as it looks. It should be noted that you should probably count this as a 4/7 to 4/8 in most situations witch is better then Ancient of Blossoms except when it gives your opponent one of the minion in the "Bad" pool. Its also good when you have a way to killed the minion that Ettin summons so that your opponent will have a bad time passing through a 4/10 taunt. with that said I don't think Hungry Ettin is good enough put into your deck and will probably only been seen in Rank when a Doppelgangster evolves into one
Rank: 1/5
Arena: 3/5
I like it myself, and a number of the "bad" minions aren't really that important as the ettin has 10 health to soak up damage and its 4 attack will put down most of what it can summon. All you really have to worry about is the gastropod, assassin, and doomsayer.
like the card as well even though it shares a similar design Hungry Dragon but the reason I listed the "Bad" cards is that they give your opponent resources when they die like Pyros, a pile of stats or a way to kill the Ettin like what 90% in this chat is saying Doomsayer. Plus if your behind in Arena (because I don't see this card finding a home in a deck) its can be pretty hard to kill the minion that the Ettin summons (Trust me)
drown your worries in Pint-Size Potion
well, as of now we have 2-way to deal with 4 attack minions. I think Anduin will manage
garbage and should have a higher statline; 4/13 would be good enough
Lore wise I am glad Ettins come to HS. Otherwise "Meh".
Battlecry: Summon a random Doomsayer for your opponent.
I like that the heads on the ettin are just Garrosh and Kargath
"Brilliant"
