If your hero has no damage, and this minion is alone on the board, it can eat almost every minion in the game and keep full health. Holy shit that's a scary beast of card if it gets that condition.

It's a complete joke. But a good one. This is hilarious, and I want to see sound files, entrance animations, etc. Blizzard, keep up the hilariously awesome work. 10/10. Also very useful.
Ragnaros and the other Elemental Lords were ENSLAVED by the Old Gods. The way they tried to rationalized it in the IGN article was that now that the Old Gods are back, Ragnaros has taken up the side of good to get his sweet revenge on his old masters.
It's bullshit. The elemental lords where the elemental lords before they were made in the Old Gods bitches.Ragnaros was the firelord before he was enslaved, is not like there was a dude called Ragnaros that the Old Gods turned into the firelord and enslaved so now he needs powers from someone else so they vomited holy light on top of him.
That's not what I said. Where did I say that?
No, is what they said, or at least the half assed explanation they wanted to give to this thing.
If Ragnaros wanted to turn against their former masters he can just do it by throwing fire at them, no need to turn him into a joke of a light elemental. Anyway my complain is about the fact that they had like 10 paladins, easy, to turn into Legendaries, instead they go for this unfunny made up thing.Isn't enough with things like the Boogey Monster?
From the very start hearthstone was literally designed to be lighthearted, and yes, a joke. I think some people have been a bit blinded to that since it became super MLG and e-sports heavy. Look at the cards we already have. Leeroy Jenkins, original Hogger, Grim Patron, Angry Chicken even.

Hate to burst your bubble, friend, but every single piece of lore in Hearthstone and WoW is a "made up thing."
They own the IP; they can do whatever they want with it. If you are taking the Warcraft universe this seriously, you have really, truly missed the point.

Is anyone else going to mention how this card makes absolutely 0 sense from a lore standpoint?
Yes, it's makes no sense, that's why this is the most hilarous thing I've ever seen in Hearthstone till the appearance of Mr Bigglesworth.
And in long term, HS shouldn't be restricted to the Lore of WoW, because they will just outrun the origins (because HS implements content from WoW way faster than the original game generates it).
Truly a great minion, can attack unlike stock rag and has an extremely strong effect, silencing still leaves it as an 8/8 like normal rag. I can see this going in a giants deck or smthing, the ability to heal anything on your side of the battlefield up to 8 health would be really difficult to deal with (especially if there was a Tirion or Sunwalker about as a divine shield/taunt combo)
Why blizzard why...I really don't want legendaries to be "corrupted" versions of something. Does this even have any lore background (I'm guessing no).
I don't even think it's that good, because damaged friendly character can be a minion which has taken 1 dmg so the healing does pretty much nothing. If this is your only minion, then it really starts to matter.
Dont you guys think it is a little bit broken? Or am i just wrong?
It costs 8 mana, It better do SOMETHING impressive. A lot of hearthstone players who haven't played other card games are accustomed to late game minions being particularly underwhelming and so when cards like this come out, they look nuts. And that's because they ARE nuts. If it costs 8 or more mana it SHOULD be nuts. We see that in cards like Dr. Boom and Tirion Fordring. Cards that have the potential to sit in your hand an entire game but are played regardless because they are worth their mana. This expansion is a clear attempt to change the standards of what late game cards can be and I'm loving it.
It would suck if you played this on turn 8 with a Piloted Sky Golem on the board, then attacked with it, having an Auchenai Soulpriest drop. Sounds wild.

How is that Hogger and Grim Patron are the same than this?They were real npcs on WOW.And everyone knows Leeroy.
There is no problem with them being funny, I don't expect DARKNESS out of Hearthstone.But I dont find this funny, I found it rather forced.
It's a waste to not to use any of the large number of paladins that Warcraft has for a legendary, and like I said they already do stuff like this with shit like the Boogey Monster.It was really necessary to make up a character for a paladin legendary?

Great card to get with Monkey! Now if we could only get some more Mage cards revealed...

Possible scenario.
You have an Auchenai and pull this from confessor paletress.
Oh boy.
