We're losing Imp Gang Boss from BRM and Dark Peddler from LoE, so zoo decks will have to come up with different ways to generate tokens/have weak bodies for this to eat. Without tokens a lot of the early game minions are probably too valuable to give up on turn 4. Certainly a strong card when it eats, but there's now a lot more reliance on less reliable token generators for this to work on curve.
oh lord....i didn't even think about that interaction and Power Overwhelming the Egg and then using Void Terror before it died was/is already a strong play
I'm loving the concept of this card, really. I do hope it becomes viable and playable in Warlock, because currently it seems they are pushing Discolock, and Renolock is gonna die, so what will be the identity of Warlock, discard only? Hm seems too weak.
I seriously hope they get some tools to play some form of control deck.
Interesting card. Reminds me of Void Terror. 3/3 for 3 and 4/4 for 4, so stats are comparable.
Pterrodax is best off eating a 1/1 (or the rarely seen 0/x). In such a case, on average that 1/1 minion is going to turn into much more value than +1/+1, whereas with Void Terror it's always going to be a flat +1/+1.
Of course, the big difference is that anything bigger, and the Void Terror gets more benefit out of it. If they were to both eat a 2/2 the Pterrodax may get that much value out of it, but it certainly isn't guaranteed. Meanwhile, the Void Terror will always be a 5/5 after that.
Having said all that, I imagine it wouldn't see play outside of arena - seems like discolock will be the big warlock deck this expansion.
Void Terror on steroids. How many times did you see that card in standard Zoo? This is a playable card but absolutely not very good or meta defining imo.

Good card for Warlock, especially Zoolock. In Zoolock there's gonna be enough randomly assorted 1/1s around the board to trigger the Pterrordax's effect and give the Warlock using it a ton of value for 4 mana (including a potential 4 mana 7/7!)
Playable in Standard, Very good - Meta defining in Wild. The problem is: When you have a minion on board, and it's no token or Nerubian Egg/Runic Egg, You actually make very unfavourable trades. And not sure if the card is better than Piloted Shredder. Still: very tasty and will help zoolock.
Powerfull common minion for the strongest budget deck. Will we get another egg this expansion to maximize value of this card?
nerubian egg makes anything a nightmare
Vvreeeew.
For wild 100% a good card, for standard we need to wait for all warlock cards

This will be crazy! If there is a giant taunt in the way, you can choose stealth and poisonous... so many good combos out there.

So in zoo we will see curve like T1 Flame Imp, T2 ?, T3 Darkshire Councilman, T4 Ravenous Pterrordax for eating some T1 or T2 and T5 Doomguard... nice...
OK, I'm finally convinced that zoo is going to be tier 1, with or without the disco package. Yay, options!
