That's some terrible card. How can they even think of something like that? But why show this as the first card of a new expansion set, it's just like when the show Purify during the Karazhan preview and Priest fan got mad.
Maybe there will be some mechanics that reverse the effect on the enemy or that switch damage to healing... Anyway it'll still awful also for Arena.
I agree with those who mentioned a way to summon it to your opponents board. I think there will be one or more class specific spells or maybe a neutral minion that allows you to swap minions, even if for a turn.
I just hope there aren't many mechanics that summon random deathrattle minions, or 4 drops. Youtube highlights incoming with some very sad faces. Hungry Dragon had the same stats, but even his downside was considered bad.
Other than that I can only see it in a Burn Mage where your enemy has to trade it because 5 dmg to face would stack up too quickly. Like c4mlann said, as soon you have minions like Mana Wyrm that might not work as intended.
A future Lifesteal spell maybe? But even then - you have to play other minions first and you end up killing too much value for a situational synergy.
maybe there will be a way to summon a minion to your opponents side of the Board
With this card, Emerald Hive queen, Bomb Squad, Venture Co. or Ravenous Hydra it could be interesting
If it could affect on enemy minions too, that would be awesome. But so far, Silence priest or N'zoth decks wouldn't use it due to bad effect to our own board. Anyway 129 cards left to see so there will be some synergy maybe
4mana 5/6 destroy your board so bad
I choose 4mana 7/7
This seems even worse than Hungry Dragon...
u can kill small minion in agrodeck
For when you really need to clear your own board
Maybe if you are playing against some sort of deck that fills your board with minions that do stuff to you. Spectral mechanic from naxx if i am correct...
1 mana difference is gonna make you put a Pit Fighter in your deck and allow your opponent to flamestrike your board for free when needed?
Quest warrior is tempo deck that doesn't need to have brain.
Just you need to spam taunts and then *BOOM* you're de freaking ragna that need to just SMASH hero ability every turn.
You can always silence it...
Buff for Purify!
Nice with rogue quest
Perfect fodder for the Evolve/Devolve "best of" videos.
Finally the path to power is revealed!!
After seeing this shit card, I ordered KFC.
