People who think this is bad because of the drawback don't remember Fel Reaver. There is basically zero drawback on this card. The reason it's probably not good is that an aggro deck doesn't really want a 4 mana 5/5 vanilla, which is what this is.
This argument always fails since not every card is equal in terms of power. Removing the card you need for the situation your in makes you lose.
So does not drawing it. And discarding cards from your deck can actually help you draw it. This has no effect on you even if you're looking for a specific card.
I mean, I get where they are coming from but 5/5 for 4 isn't enough a bounus for it to be worth the affect. maybe if it was a 7/7 or 8/8 is would be more like Fel Reaver
Do you people even think? Fel Reaver had to be so overstated, because your opponent could use drawbacks against you. With this card, you are in control.
This card is not insane by any means, but it is really good in certain decks. Stats are fine.

This effect is not worth +1 attack, it should be at least 5/6 or even 5/7 to be just good in arena and terrible in constructed.

Just don't compare this card in vacuum. This card is basically 5/5 with no drawback in some decks for 4. In Arena? It is 5/5 for 4 mana with no drawbacks in most arena deck list (unless you drafted some combo strong combo pieces). Removing 3 cards from your deck (especially, if you can control it) is nothing really horrible.
It could be probably justifiable to be 5/6 but 5/7 is insane . In fact, 5 attack in this case is much stronger than for example 4/7.
This could actually be a decent card in aggro decks. You play it on turn 4 and it gets insta removed or you are very close to winning the game. And in a deck like pirate warrior, you don't really care about milling your deck. Could see some play in a budget aggro deck. It's better than the poll make it look like.

In pirate warrior naga corsair is slightly better, I agree the card isn't that terrible though, it's just very average.
I got this in a ridiculous arena draft with two jade idols and a gadgetzan auctioneer, and immediately decided I would attempt to mill my deck in order to get infinite jade idols with auctioneer draw whenever I played one. I managed to hit the combo 3 times in 8 games, and milled my deck for infinite jade value, it was pretty cool. I don't know if I'd call it good (deck went 5-3 but that was more due to the lich king, two ultimate infestations, and a lot of good druid spells also being in the deck), but it was hilarious, certainly my most memorable recent arena run.

Hungry Dragon is 5/6 for 4 mana and its drawback of giving the opponent a 1-cost minion is minimal compared to this.
