Rag is an incredible card. Huge 8/8 creature that shoots fireballs at you! Its just so many people run BGH or some answer for rag that people started taking it out.
I ve seen rag still used in handlock and even tempo rogue.
It's only effective counter that can be stuffed in every deck is Big game hunter. But even if it gets blown apart, it still dealt 8 damage at the end of your turn no matter what..
Although that BGH downside is a pretty big downside at the moment since there are many of them running around to counter dr Boom
The main reason it's good is because it does something the turn it's played, unlike many other high cost drops. You can pretty much slam it into most decks except very aggressive decks. I've even seen hunter run it.
and I forgot the fun of playing rag. I know most if not all of you have had this experience. When you or your opponent plays a rag and it HAS to kill a certain minion for that player to win the game. You know one player is doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f7Gh-EABf0

Thank you so much for sharing that video <3 #nohomo
He's fun and good in almost anything thats not zoo/aggro but keep in mind your opponent could have faceless and that can screw you up big time, so have a hard removal in hand before using it in control matchups unless you have nothing else that saves you in particular situation.
He's still one of the best legendaries out there for sure. So good that I wasn't sure if this was a joke thread or not haha. In my experience, he seems to hit the face way more often than he hits a minion haha, for both me and the opponent. I'm sure it's supposed to be evenly weighted everywhere, but on a little spreadsheet I prepared for myself, he hits the face around 75% of the time lol (obviously not including the instances where they have no minion on the board).
Anyways, yeah, he is a very good card.

I'm aware that he's considered as one of the better legendaries and everyone says it fits in every deck but aggro. I really don't think that's true, and it seems to be very very hard to fit in after gvg. I can only find room for it in super lategame decks like ramp druid. In priest I can hardly even fit cards which I think are more important like Loatheb, so he's not in my priest decks. I guess it could work in control warrior or paladin, but I don't really play those. What decks would you put him in ?

Loatheb isn't that good in this meta , most of the decks are mech oriented , they use allmost no spells , only some key ones like Fireball , Imp-losion .... just my opinion tho :)
dont listen to all the plebs, rag is and will always be a strong card/staple in control decks. specifically in warrior control, but can fit into any deck that wants to go late game, ive even thrown it in handlock with good success

Yeah, I see where you're coming from, but still, if you were to take Loatheb out of control priest, would Rag really be the replacement for it ? Isn't it even worse than Loatheb against aggro/mech decks ?

if you wanna tech against aggro in particular , rag migth not be a good choice just like every 8 cost minion in the game , since they just cost too much to find a moment to play it against an aggro deck , but it still great against mid-range / control decks , one of the best 8 drop imo ^^
Do you think the card is playable and if so which decks ? I can't seem to fit it into anything but ramp druid anymore. I don't play warrior.
Rag fits into every deck there is except for zoo and huntard.
If the deck that you're considering isn't zoo or huntard, then yes, rag fits in it.

Great card, even if it's silenced you have a giant. They have to remove it somehow.
I hate zoo

It's a bad card and that's why no one ever uses it.
Rag is amazing, even in not so slow mid-range decks.

It totally fits in an Angry Chicken-Ragnaros Warrior deck. I haven't lost a match with it yet.

It' good with my control priest! Saves a lot of games for me!! Though bad luck might throw me some games but its still awesome!!

Rag is terrible. Do yourself a favor and disenchant it if you have it.
Before every game I pray to little baby RNGesus
