Not a lot of buffs / cards to support this card. Very unique design though.
Why the downvotes? He's right, it would be broken in deathrattle Hunter!
Look at the colouring. You'll note a problem.
The combo with Silence is unreal!
¨Love that art
It's a decent card, but not what I would expect out of a Legendary. Yes, it's not hard to get back value and keep rolling a 5/5. But what do you keep throwing at it? And what else do you give up in a deck to get the slots you'd need to make it good? Okay, but a little underwhelming for a legendary minion. (Edit: Upon consideration, this could get hilarious with Lyra the Sunshard, but that's as good of a scenario as I can come up with.)
And to all of the people screaming "SILENCE" again repeatedly, I'm still waiting for you charming folks to tell me how you intend to run more than 2 in any deck that isn't Priest and still win. Everyone said this crap during JtUG with Evolve. They said it again with Cube and Voidlord during K&C. And even then, in the 'heavy silence' meta, I saw 4 in some decks. A whole 4. Yes, silence will have value. It ALWAYS has value. We are not headed for "the silence meta!"
The reason It's weak to silence is because This is the core you build around a deck and therefore the main target.
If you build a innerfire priest, it's not a deathrattle, if it's deathrattle, it's not Innerfire. If you really wanna attempt at hibridize the two, this is the only card the overlaps, meaning you're not gonna have any other big minion that represent a threat if not silenced, maybe Lyra the Sunshard but is not a deathrattle. Are there any more spells worth casting on deathrattle minions? The only one I can think of is Unidentified Elixir and to be honest, i doubt you wanna run that card. On top of that, this is a minion that does nothing on its own, it requires, other cards to be played on its body at the same time. Cards that can't be played independetly on their turn notoriously tend to be weak if the're not cheap or don't provide massive swings like (Electra Stormsurge )
No. It isn't. And if that's why you think it's weak, I'd politely suggest a little more thought toward deckbuilding as a whole rather than in a vacuum.
If you're building a deck with Lyra to value this, you're basically building an Inner Fire combo priest anyway. This just becomes one more threat to leverage in case your big bads get shut down. A 5/5 that recycles itself is not bad as backup plans go. As far as spells that are worth explicitly casting on this minion, that depends upon how you look at it. If I get +2 Health AND a free 5/5 when this dies, I call that great value for my SW:P. I'd be okay with that trade in a lot of cases.
As far as the silence consideration goes, this goes back to the basic fallacy with "the silence meta is coming!" statements. You can't silence everything! You will run out of silences before they run out of worthy threats, if they've built the deck right and have fairly average luck.
With a card like this, you're also going to want things like Corpsetaker and others that synergize well.With a card like this, you'll quite probably be running other Deathrattles and other targets worth dropping. Hell Obsidian Statue goes in a LOT of decks. If you've built the deck right, they can't silence everything. Meaning the argument with this card, like so many others that, "silence will wreck it" only holds a minimal amount of weight. Edit: Sorry, crossing up my legendaries!How would the legendary spell resummon it with 5/5 stats?
You need to target any copies with a spell though.... otherwise you just made 1/1 that have no deathrattle effect.
Good with Power Word: Shield, but what other spells would you include in order to resummon him consistently?
A worse Sherzain
They really trying to push Quest Priest
This card will be fun.
If you cast a spell on Zerek (Power Word: Sheild, Divine Spirit, Inner Fire, etc.) it will resummon a 5/5 Zerek when it dies. It can pretty much go infinite.
If you've cast any spell on this minion like power word shield or unidentified elixir before it dies, it will comeback and so on
You play this, cast power word shield on it, when deis will come back to the baord. If You kill ir (your own zerek) with a Spall like shadow word death or holly fire, will come back, always as a 5/5,

BROKEN IN EGG DEATHRATTLE HUNTER
