I don't feel any of those things, it's just the trickle of info is driving me crazy with anxiety because I just want to know already!
Christ. Read your post. "Grave mistake," "sour taste," "hatred and anger," "everyone should be cynical." If you didn't mean any of it, delete your post.

Love the flavor. You can see in their eyes they aren't in control, which fits what a Priest "brawl" effect during the Rumble would look like.

Coming back here just pre-Rastakhan to see that this was voted a majority of just "Playable" makes me laugh a little at how the game shapes itself. This card is bonkers good.

A typical problem with control cards like Crushing Walls is the tempo investment. You can consistently stop the waves your opponents makes, but never have time to make waves of your own. A card like this takes that investment and flips it for 10 mana. Would I love to Crushing Walls, drop multiple secrets, a Deadly Shot, Greater Emerald Spellstone with a couple Animal Companions and a dash of card draw with maybe Flare or the new Master's Call (synergizes perfectly with Subject 9, btw) to completely reinvest that loss of tempo and flip the board unquestioningly in my favor?
Absolutely.
Will it be better than Deathrattle Hunter or using direct damage spells? Welllll....we'll see.
And hey, next turn, you can always drop Deathstalker Rexxar anyway and start pushing that late game advantage.

I think I got it...hear me out...
T2 - Wild Growth
T4 - Twig of the World Tree + attack
T5 - Duskfallen Aviana + attack
T6 - Gonk, the Raptor (for free) + Muck Hunter + attack into both 2/1 Mucklings, Naturalize your Aviana and lastly attack face to pop Twig. Drop Master Oakheart for 9, pulling Hadronox, Dragonhatcher (to pull Sleepy Dragon) and Gurubashi Chicken, playing the other Gurubashi Chicken from your hand, purely for BM, because let's face it, you earned it, and they're clearly going to concede.
...or T7 - they Psychic Scream you, and you cry, just as you cried when you pulled this card to begin with.
*EDIT* On a side note, I'd love to see some people math some better shenanigans for a potential OTK. :D

I was just thinking that! What a universally applicable card, it's pretty amazing.

I like this at a 5 mana 4/4, as it doesn't dump toooo much tempo to play out your theme and have fun (I'm looking at you, Emeriss).
*Edit* - This was apparently just changed to a 4 mana 4/3, not sure when/how that misinterpreted. Makes it a stronger effect, but changes to a non-odd warrior dragon build.

In the video, it pulled the minion out to visibly eat it, so I was wondering if there's a chance it could trigger a Deathrattle? If it wasn't for the visual flair, I'd assume from known mechanics that it would NOT trigger Deathrattles, but we haven't had "Eat a minion" as part of the ruleset before, so I was curious. Any thoughts or confirmations?

In the reveal stream they managed to pull pinging and killing adjacent minions with Frost Lich Jaina up, summoning 2 Water Elementals, so yep!

Wow, that took a cynical turn.

Their energy is really good. Regis is a great co-host, seems to keep the vibe really positive and fun!
