This card is single handedly gonna kill agro decks. He he an un Bghable face immunity, for 6 mana. You drop him and a heal bot and ggg. Even if he kills it he wil have like 0 board. He also counts for over kill, example : a mage has pyro in his hand and you have this on field, you wont take any dmg from pyro. 

 

(insert generic polymorph hex and silence response here)

in all seriousness, this card isnt bad, its not great, but it does force out answers.  but this isnt a card i want to play against face when i m super behind, this is more like a last ditch effort to not lose an ice block or die...... its balance, but if i am ever losing so bad where i m force to drop this guy, i m screw......

The prob with taunts, is even if you taunt up vs a face hunter, they can just use spells and hero power you down, this card prevent this, making him better than sludges. This card putt face decks is more " have to have it" you drop him and sludges, and instant win. So runing sludges and this card is a living nightmare for face decks, I can imagine this in druid, with keeper of lore when hunter is trying to finish you off with spells. I lose 80% of my games vs face hunters because they can  just ignore a late sludges and face you with hero power and spells. THis can will dramatically decrease face decks win rates.

Vs mages and shaman , remember this is a turn 6 play, meaning you turn 5 will be sludges, chances they wil have 2 hexes is very low, especially in mech decks. 

I am not sure how he will hold up vs zoo, because zoo normal clears field.

i do agree i would consider playing him with sludge against face decks for sure..... and in all honesty, hes pretty useful against freeze mage too if they dont run polymorph, that usually means they need extra burn spells to deal with him...... i am just saying hes okay, hes a bit overhyped by ppl in my opinion.

everything is weak to owl, the point is you have to draw it. If he has 2 owl which no tourney hunter runs, then u lose anyways . The point is you are supose to make him use silence before u  drop it , making sure u always use sludge's before him.

Yes he not game braking, just makes it very hard on face decks. Imagine him saving you from a malygos spell drop. When guy has 1 spell to finish you off. 

I am seeing so much potential for this card in a Priest deck...

yes he will the needle in coffin for agro decks, when used in priest.

This card wi lbe broken in hand lock now. Molten Golem x2 sun fury, then drop him. game.

Polymorph teched into freeze mage Pogchamp

Huh. I like the interaction this card could have with weapons. For example, if you play Gorehowl on turn 7, then you're opponent plays Dr. Boom, you play this on turn 8 + hero Power, not only can you negate 7 damage, you don't need to lose any armor, and as a Warrior, I would want to keep as much armor as possible for other large threats to use Shield Slam on. ( Which is why I'm fine with paying the one extra mana for this over Antique Healbot )

lol any minion that is a 6 drop is not really an answer to agro, I promise this. It might as well just have taunt, at least then the enemy would actually have to trade their minions to kill it

So I had some time to think about this card and I actually think it has a little bit of potential in paladin.  Its a bit weird, but Im actually interested to see if anyone can abuse this guy with the use of weapons and divine shield.  You get some protection from burn as well which is obviously interesting.  

Inner Fire Priest is coming boys, Power Word:Shield, Divine Spirit your face will be IMMUNE except R.I.P Ironbeak Owl.

interesting tidbit, with warsong commander out, he can gain charge

/starts to wonder if it should be in a patron warrior deck as an anti mirror

Grim Patron warrior nerf. They rely on a combo for 30 face, this captures their face OTK instead. And yes, one heavy control staple.

If you compare to Ancient Healbot, a 5 mana 3/3 which heals 8, then this is easily superior as a 6 mana 3/9 which heals 9.

If it heals 9 it is not a 3/9 anymore because it takes damage instead. So it is heal 9 3/0 actually (because after preventing 9 damage it dies) whereas Healbot is an instant heal 8 and 3/3 body that absorbs another 3 damage.

LOl only in low ranks people run 2 owls  in face decks , as its in consistent, Secondly which sensible face player would  attack a heal bot over your face . Look at it this way ,you play this before sludges it gets silence, now they have no silence for sludges and u have a 3/9 on field, pluss sludges for the next turn. If you run a hand lock its night mare to leave this on field because of defender of argus and sunfury guy, then next turn he drop acient watcher and taunts up, now hes a taunt  as well gg.

Also leaving this on field vs shaman and preist wil only be nightmare. Shaman can reincarnate it and give it back its effect , or even death rattle and reincarnate it. Preist can possible otk u if u dont kill them the turn u leave this on field silenced. He has 9 health, so buff his hp and make his hp  his atk then now u lose.

Yeah this card is almost as bad as Ancient Watcher. Oh wait.. It's like people think you can't give this guy taunt or something? 

Who the hell would play this turn 6 with nothing on board.

ya know, this isnt a bad guy to use after getting turn into a ragnaros.... and if you dont get alex in time

I can't really see me playing this in any of my control decks. Sure he will occasionally save you against aggro but most decks will just be able to kill him basically for free by hitting face if they have the board control which is likely if he's in a deck you're playing. 

However he could fit into some very specific decks I haven't even thought of using a combination of the new cards. Perhaps in priest he could work.

I have mixed feelings about this card. On one hand, it is a decent tech vs freeze mage. But we have loatheb vs that.

The statline is very unusual, so it is hard to say is it any good and will it see any play.
