Why do people think this card is even a bit decent? You can not play this card. You play a 8 mana 4/4, that doesn't do a thing. It is not a threat, it has no taunt. It is a shitty Savana Highmane
The idea of chopping wood into smaller pieces is cool though.
You don't play it. You cheat it out, just like everything else in this ridiculous meta.

It's ok if u are preparing to tarim but there are better options tho (like deathrattle adapt on dudes). It could be good for aggro druid but again its expensive + u have to wait to get 1/1s to buff em up and 4/4 for 8 mana is expensive af. No idea where to use it other than quest priest, but again its 8 mana, ur quest is completed usually at that point. And i dont see quest priest having that much board controll at turn 8, so if u waste 8 mana to play 4/4 minion... Aint gonna end well.
Using a 7 mana deathrattle minion to cheat out a 8 mana minion?
Yes, that is in fact what Silver Vanguard's card text says.
I'd like to clarify though, this is to cheat out an 8 mana 4/4, who's deathrattle summons two 2/2s, who's deathrattle summons two 1/1s (because that is what Festeroot's card text says).
That text means more important 8 drops I guess. Using it for that Lord Godfreysnack is useless.
Everyone is comparing this to Savannah Highmane, but I think a more apt comparison is Cairne Bloodhoof or even Violet Wurm, as they are both neutral high mana cost cards with similar deathrattles.
Cairne however offers 8/10 stats for 2 mana less and is better at sticking and affecting the board at that stage. Violet Wurm offers a whopping 14/14 worth of stats and good immediate board presence. It still doesn't see play btb. This card is in fact, too slow and poorly statted. The thing really limiting the card, aside from poor board presence, is the limited board size in Hearthstone. I can't yet fathom a deck that would prefer to run this over Cairne or Wurm, except perhaps quest priest. It's sad that this is an epic card.

Silence will be thing, so this is useless
Some interesting synergies with Kobold Illusionist and Seeping Oozeling (could run highmane as well). Still very slow. Get a Carnivorous Cube on it would be pretty crazy too.

I think this card should cost 7 mana not 8.
8mana 4/4 is very slow, even with the 12/12 total stats. I would run many other 8+ cards rather than this
Top deck is cheat
3*1/1 :P Umbra + 4/4 + 2 * 2/2 (that takes 4 spots on the board) and 3 * 1/1 for the full board.

Nice deathrattle to copy or make a doll. Otherwise it's not good.
Talk about a sticky minion....
