No.
I tried I really did. I spent night after night trying to figure this guy out. I thought "Hey I'll make another silly gimmick deck" but no this card is actually more useless than my bachelors of fine arts. This card is the hearthstone equivalent to someone who gets surgery to have fake body builder muscles. They look tough until you take a swing and they go down like a sack of bricks.
LOOK AT THIS LOSER
Captains parrot trades better than he does because at least then you can get a kind of draw power out of it. He dies to everything. He is the alternate universe harvest golem. But instead of having a goatee and doing evil things he dies in one shot for absolutely no value. Literally not having a card in your deck would be better because at least then you could draw something good.
The only combo I could find that works with him is void terror. His most useful function is DYING.
He'd be an ok card if he just had ONE MORE HEALTH. Then he'd be playable and in fact kinda ok but right now he's that kid on the playground that all the teachers are worried might not pass kindergarten again.
Magma Rager is guy you take with you to a bar that is suppose to be your wing man but then totally tries to get with the girl you are chatting up. He comes over and says something weird like "Are you an angel because my arms sure are tired?" (yeah with a question mark) Then he spends the rest of the evening talking about how awesome he is because he used to be a little league baseball team's waterboy. THAT'S MAGMA RAGER.
Any slightly valid strategy you could have with him would work better with any other card. Think about it you could use a wisp+power overwelming+void terror for 4 mana! Is that bad? YEAH BUT ITS STILL BETTER ISN'T IT?
Magma rager is more of a disappointment to my life than finding out that Santa isn't real.
Side note: Do you know how soul crushing that was for me? I cried dude.
Combos:
Magma rager+ power overwhelming+Void terror: Kill him from your deck
Spam your hero power: End the suffering
Strategies
Call your mom. Tell her you love her.
Use the sorry command constantly no one deserves to have to deal with this.
Future improvements
Remove magma rager and replace him with literally any card.

Bro must be short, cause that satirical deck went right over your head.
best description of a deck on the site
If you can't synergise Angry Chicken, you don't deserve to even play this game.
I play Priest a fair amount.
I can think of better things to do on Turn 4, but...
Magma Rager + Power Word: Shield
4 mana for a 5/3 with card draw...that's at least LESS objectionable.
That being said, Magma Rager is still the red-headed-stepchild of HS.

May be crazy enuff to work..
Nope.
Fuck u guiz
I think Magma Rager's value is in a control zoo style deck where you can drop him behind a taunt and he might be able to trade effectively for 3 mana say into a Chillwind. Also, if you coin him out turn 2 and your opponent didn't play a creature turn 1, you might force him to use an early removal that they would prefer not too..
But yeah he sucks.
There are a bunch of heroes with target spells, like druid or mage, and you can't rely on drawing him at your starting hand AND starting second, to have a coin.

Quality guide is quality.
Why? You wanted to activate the boss' hero power for him? What was the benefit?
The hero power costs 0 on heroic so he naturally uses it every turn for free anyways so this is like the ONLY instance where Magma Rager is good.
Honestly, the 5 attack is just a slap in the face, as if to say: "Look what you won't get to use!"
turn three magma rager innervate young priestest or turn four priestest coin rager or even as a turn 5 play is good but the inervate play is the best
"more useless than my bachelors of fine arts"
woah such story i would like to hear more about Magma Rager's life.
OMG I am dying this is the best deck write up ever. Like, EVER.
If it were two mana it'd be better, but still too easily killed.
Nah... Scratch what I just said. It'd still be terrible. 1 health on anything is bad because every class has something that can kill it almost immediately.
The only sucess I have had with Magma rager recently is in pally where I used his low cost to proc a avenge or get a sword of justice buff on him other then that still kinda crap-tacular.
