In an aggro meta this is such a great card. Against control, not so much. Quite frankly, it's very well designed - it's a tech choice that's fantastic when chosen appropriately, and pretty darn underwhelming when not (think cards like The Black Knight and Harrison Jones - great when they hit their mark, below average otherwise).

You also got to realize the potential to get around its battlecry. We can cheat it out with things like Master Oakheart or Kathrena Winterwisp, revive it with Eternal Servitude or Witching Hour, and even just healing it or find some way to buff its health with a good example being Circle of Healing or even Emeriss which makes it a 6/24 that can't be less than a 6/14 which is really really good imo.

Honestly I think it's decent vs control if you have ways to get around the battlecry since its just alot of stats to get through and of course just playing vs aggro is awesome.

This is the definition of meta-defining. Every aggro deck in the meta will need to ensure their decklists have ways to cleanly deal with this card.

There are plenty of ways to cleanly deal with it mind you (I'll dread getting this card sapped/vanished repeatedly, and priest kills this for 2 mana) but it will still affect the format greatly.

EDIT: Void Ripper and Crazed Alchemist might start seeing a lot more play with this guy around.

I totally misread this card. I thought your hero would lose health, not the minion. Sucks.

I disagree. I think it is an insanely good card, and if it took away from your health instead it would be unplayable in a few classes. Maybe one of the best card in the entire set in my opinion. It is a game-saver against many aggressive and tempo decks, and while it is pretty bad against Warlock or combo decks, you generally don't need strong taunts against most of them anyway.
