Dust it, it's bad. Worse than 4 mana 4/4 kobold that heals for 4. Why is it always so that community seems to have the opposite reaction to everything?
Who actually dusts their only copies of a common card?
I really like this card. There is a lot of value here for a decent stated minion. It just feels good...
Very weak to Silence - so depends if Warlocks stay T1. Compare to, say, a 3 mana 3/5 taunt (as that's what creeper really is), and you see that a fair few stats get spent on the heal. Still, very solid card, so should see play.
It's not that weak to silence. Still a 4/5. Things like twilight drake are very weak to silence and they still see play.
Don't really like it. The standard for neutral healing minions seem to be X mana for an X/X minion that heals a target for X. This has taunt, but trades off 1 attack and 1 healing, plus the ability to heal any target you want. Besides, you don't want to heal on turn 5 against aggro, you want to fight for the board so you can deny future damage. Playing a 4/5 taunt is going to lose you the board most of the time, which is going to cost you a lot more than 4 health.
Personally I'd take a Shroom Brewer over this. I don't find taunt and +1 health to be worth 1 mana and the ability to target the heal (or get it immediately against burn classes like Mage). Then again, I'd not use Shroom Brewer either, which is why I rate the card as bad.
I guess ill try this out over deathlord in my bad wild deathrattle deck I need more than 2 taunt's the problem is 5 mana that might just be to slow. Deathlord have the problem its super bad against warlock at the moment and have anti synergy with rapter.
The only other alternatives is the 1/3 ghoul or infested tauren.

I tend to avoid deathrattle taunts, tbh, because there's enough bad deathrattles for N'zoth anyway. Not every taunt has to be a rattler! And stonehill can give you belchers anyway :P
The ghoul is good in decks where you can give it poisonous, or ones where you have patrons. Other than that, you don't want it, you want almost anything else rezzed by N'zoth most of the time.
The reason i want the taunt come back I found that sometimes I cant play N'zoth since if i would ill be dead to the board and hoping you get 1 of the 4 death rattle taunt off stone hill defender isnt something I want to relay on in wild were none is class card for rogue.
Think of it. It's almost a copy of Darkshire Alchemist with some upsides and some downsides.
Ups = taunt, neutral card (deathrattle is kind of irrelevant cause Nzoth rotates out).
Downs = +4 health instead of +5. (restoring health just to you hero instead of to any friendly character like Alchemist did). Restoring health on deathrattle rather than on battlecry is worse, because aggro decks can silence it (heavy silence meta cause of cube-locks now) + you can't heal preamtively against let's say tempo mage. who can ignore taunt and just burn you out.
So i see this card to be decent for arena, but a worst copy of Darkshire Alchemist (which almost never saw any play in ladder).
The card that deathrattle rogue has needed since forever. but with the rotation of N'Zoth, the Corruptor and journey below this deck never sees life. feels bad
I actually quite like this card. But contrary to what someone has said above, rather for other classes that don't dispose of own healing (i.e. control hunter?) than for quest priest.
Did you realize Kobolds and Catacombs introduced several neutral healing cards?: Shroom Brewer, Fungal Enchanter, and you can also think of Kobold Monk as a "healing" or damage soaking card.
I am just in the foreword, but I think these cards can be base for control decks from traditionally non-control classes (rogue, hunter).

Great card for Rogue, it will certainly help some slower builds.
It's worse than tar creeper and belcher. It may see play but it's very overrated.
I will crush you!

2 / 5
I was so sure it was going to be a druid card judging from the art, but I was mistaken. Nice card tho.

I’m so gonna miss Nzoth :(

Yet, most probably I'm wrong :)

Hello Sludge Belcher 2.0
Easy my favourite card this expansion
Question for a moderator:
When I first entered this page my account had already voted for ‘Bad’
Is there an explanation for that? I have now changed my vote for my actual prediction.
I think this is a really strong neutral healing card, it may emprove a lot control decks for classes that don't have class healing.
Top deck is cheat

Definitely not a bad card, I'll try it in constructed, not bad in arena either, really helps rogue and warlock survive.
