this card is a min playable anyone who put something under that does not know hearth stone and thats in construction in arena this is the new king.....
Better than Fel Reaver especially since you don't need to worry about losing valuable cards through discard. In decks that don't value the health as long as it isn't 0, this card is pretty good.
This could be Dr. 5. It's better than Fel Reaver for sure, the question is will an aggro deck with this kind of card be viable in Un'Goro? Because aggro druid is luckily dead
Big Game Hunter will definitly come back with this card printed atlast
My Prediction is, that this could be the strongest card in the game - while fel reaver often got you to fatigue by just players dumping all of your deck - this dude is so much harder to remove - and even if you take -6-12 damage - this is a huge minion on board to bust throguh nearly everything in the midgame
Only Question remains is, whether there is enough other stuff to make this Dude work in aggro decks (seems like aggro shaman lost its power - but maybe hunter or even warrior adaptations come up with him
My god, this is why Blizzard waited so long to give us 18 deck slots. The majority of the people commenting are hopeless. Fel Reaver was a strong card because it had no drawback. DO YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND? What if Fel Reaver instead said "Discard the bottom 3 cards of your deck each time your opponent plays a card?" It's the exact same thing, because your deck is fully fucking randomized. You play Fel Reaver and go face, or you're wasting your time, because a 5 mana 8/8 is just another giant in control matchups played at an unoptimal time.
You know what happens when you play Fel Reaver? Your opponent wastes a bunch of cards and then cries because discarding random cards from your deck doesn't statistically do anything at all. It's maybe a little stronger in Magic: the Gathering, because people actually have consistent tutor effects in MtG. They also run 4 copies of everything, so it's mostly pointless in MtG, too, and sometimes harmful to the miller.
You know what happens when you play Bittertide? Your opponent hits Bittertide maybe 2-3 times, loses some tempo, laughs because they're a control deck. Or your opponent keeps going face, because no one knows better than druids what a giant creature without taunt is worth.
Congratulations to Aggro Druids, I guess, but is Innervate really worth an opener that inconsistent?
lol, I could see a lot of people seriously underestimating that drawback. "Yes! 8/8 for 5mana is the strong play here because face is irrelevant if I control the board" [2 turns and 26hp later]
Fel Reaver's drawback has no effect in an aggro/aggro matchup, this guy will kill you in the mirror. Imagine UTH against a fair sized board including this guy? Even patches becomes "ping a guy then hit face 3 times". I bet he's glad flamewaker has rotated.
Still a good card though.

Good card, comparable with felreaver, the draw back might kill you though, need to be played to truly know if it can be played.
Bittertide Hydra and Unlicensed Apothecary love eachother.
I really start thinking to play 1 BGH in all my decks...
Less punishing fel reaver, will see play in face decks and arena
On average is this better or worse than fel reaver? that is the question.

Fuck cubelock
This card is meta defining. Aggro/Midrange druid will be back, will be also used in hunter decks.
This is not so bad, I'd expect a 5 mata 7/7, not a 8/8, if you compare to other minions like this, its drawback is not a big deal at all
Maybe... nah nah nah nah

OP bullshit.
Aggro Druid. Turn 3 Innervate Bittertide Hydra. Aww geez.
And in Wild, aggro Druid is a very powerful deck, so don't say it's not a thing.

Its Fel Reaver but a beast.
Bouncing Blade now deals 24 face damage. Too bad it's in wild now.
