I am VERY interested to see if the Gonk, the Raptor exploit (2 Gonks give you 2 attacks) would work with this guy if we gave him windfury. Basically, would giving him windfury let him attack face, then kill a minion, then hit face again, and so on (ie. whether they coded it so killing a minion resets the "has attacked" status, which lets him use windfury). I could see some absurd kills with him using shaman if this is true.
For example: Play him and stick him for a turn. Then play Leeroy Jenkins, then Rockbiter Weapon and WindfuryBatterhead. This makes him a 6/8 windfury. He attacks face, then kills a whelp, then attacks face, then kills a whelp, and attacks face twice more (assuming they have no other minions on board). With the Leeroy attack, this is a 36 damage combo for 10 mana using only 4 cards.
The text of the card says kills a minion. Its also a rush minion. So when its played it cant attack face, and on the next turn if you attack face with it, it cant attack again.
I stipulate that it needs to survive a turn on the board and this likely won't be difficult against a lot of decks, as it appears to be low-pressure if they don't play anything it can kill. Also, Windfury (the Shaman spell) gives it windfury.

That’s why he said play it and let it stick a turn
If you give him windfury, attack face first, then a minion and kill it, you will get a third attack. Not two extra. Windfury means a minion or hero can attack twice. Attack again means one more time.
Giant Sand Worm uses "whenever" while Gonk, the Raptor and Batterhead use the "after" language (suggesting that they may be coded similarly). As Gonk has the exploit, while the sand worm doesn't, there is an inconsistency that makes me wonder if this is possible.
Your Gonk combo works because two sources are giving your hero an additional attack simultaneously. This won't as Windfury adds a maximum of one attack as the minion's ability requires it to kill a minion so no more than three attacks in a turn if two go face.

If you are in your first year of playing please read this post.
Dust does not burn a hole in the jar. Be careful what you craft, especially before and right after a rotation.

You can test it out with sandworm if you like.

This space is intentionally blank.
But has anyone actually tried it yet? I'm still wondering myself.
Windfury doesn’t work that way.
you need a cleave effect so it can kill multiple minions with one attack. Warrior might be able to do it.
Also, not to be *that guy* - but wouldn't the requirement of having Batterhead stick for a turn make this a TTK (two-turn-kill)? :D
