Why does this card get so much hate? 3 mana for 6 stats and the option to use it offensively (4 attack rush) or defensively (4 health taunt) sounds pretty solid; especially for a common card.
Probably because it's a Squirming Tentacle or a bad huffer or somewhat even wolfrider
If Huffer was an actual card it would be an auto-include in every midly aggressive hunter deck ever, not a fair comparison.
plus this card is FLEXIBLE. flexibility and the ability to adapt to the current board state is stronger than being a TINY bit better
A fairer comparison might be Feral Rage, which is essentially the same choice as this card: deal 4 damage or gain at least 4 health, although taunt health can be both better than worse than armor. It takes resources from your opponent to remove but it can also provide no health gain at all.
Okay, then take the other 2 comparisons. And yes, flexibility in this case is worth only like tenth a card's value to me. You're almost never happy to see a squirming tentacle topdeck, and playing it on 3 is not much better. Very few situations a squirming tentacle will save your life, unless you're featuring in a hentai.
Choose One: Worse, but cheaper Kork’ron Elite or Squirming Tentacle
A big pile of Shyte.
I don't know if it's going to see play but that's the first good Rush card for me. 4dmg for 3 mana is pretty ok. It trades well with 1/3 and 1/4 minions. A 2/4 is ok against aggro too.
doesn't look powerful to me
Silverback Patriarch weeps
It should be called "druid with the scythe"
I wonder why, picture wise, the Taunt mode is standing on her feet (as if preparing to attack) and Rush mode is humping a rock. Wouldn't it make more sense the other way around?
The Rush one is jumping from object to object to get at its prey, while the Taunt one is “tauntng” you to come get it. That’s my head-cannon anyway.
when an animal is up like that its not taunting
I like this, it's like a better version of Druid of the Flame
Fandral token art please?
If would be super lame if they didn't...
