Quote from BlizzardThere were no lines at Rastakhan’s Rumble. The motley crowd jostled, shoved, and moshed their way into the arena: the competition to get a good seat was almost as ferocious as the battle that would take place on the Arena floor! Rikkar followed the flow of the crowd, his eyes open for an opportunity to get down to the Arena floor so he could meet some of his favorite competitors—and maybe score a spot on a team!
The corridor ahead of Rikkar was packed with an unusually riotous mob; a gleefully flailing mass of trolls, dwarves, ogres, gnomes, orcs, tauren, and more, including the occasional human. The wall of rampaging Rumble fans was held in check by the Arena’s bouncers' forbidding stares. Despite the festive mood, no one in the crowd was willing to test the resolve of the heavily-armored security team.
Rikkar threaded nimbly through the thrashing crowd, deftly dodging elbows, administering the occasional shove when necessary. As a few slightly flattened gnomes were peeled off the walls, Rikkar noticed more posters for his favorite teams (every team was his favorite).
Despite being one of the more popular Rumble teams, the Frogs had a reputation for being weird—because they were. They were also unparalleled in their mastery of troll mysticism. Let them scoff: Rikkar knew that joining Krag’wa’s team would make his talent with elemental magic blow up.
Speaking of “blowing up”, the Dragonhawks were the hottest team in the Rumble this year. Everyone was talking about how they were on fire. Literally. All the time. And everything around them. If you absolutely, positively have to torch every adversary in the Arena, accept no substitutes.
Rikkar admired Malacrass’ showmanship. Despite his team’s reputation as hot-heads, they knew how to fire up the crowd before sending the fireballs flying.
Everybody knew that Princess Talanji was a reluctant Rumbler, and everyone also knew that it didn’t matter: with her as Champion of the Zombies they were the team to beat. Rumor had it that King Rastakhan himself had made some kind of bargain with Bwonsamdi, and ever since his family (including Princess Talanji) was required to serve the Loa of the Dead. Rikkar would have joined the Zombies at the stop of a heart, deal or no deal—Bwonsamdi was one of the most powerful Loa around.
Rikkar saw an opening, and finally managed to slip past the bouncers and into the Arena! He inhaled the lovely aromas of ozone, hot steel, sand, and the press of thousands of bodies. And what’s better in the muggy, sticky, sweltering jungle heat than. . . soup? The usual funnel cake vendors were absent. Instead, enterprising Tuskarr were competing with the trolls peddling magically frozen ice cream to sell steaming bowls of stew with unidentifiable chunks floating in it.
It seemed that the Tuskarr Bros. had mistakenly shipped a huge surplus of soup to Stranglethorn instead of Northrend, but they were making the most of it. Of course, Rumble fans being Rumble fans, more soup was getting ON the crowd, than was ending up IN the crowd.
Rikkar dodged hurled soup and flying frozen treats as he searched in vain for a place to sit, but everywhere he looked the stands were already packed with roaring Rumble fans. He finally spotted a lone empty seat, all the way up by the announcer’s tower. It was as far back from the action as you could get, but it was better than nothing, wasn’t it? Swallowing his disappointment, Rikkar trudged up the many (many) stone stairs and snatched the seat before someone else could.
From this distance, floor of the arena looked like a gold coin with ants skittering on it. How was he going to get into the action from here? If he was gonna get his shot, Rikkar realized that he'd have to take drastic action. . .

I really wouldn't call it insane. The stats are worth 4 mana and 2 attack is just not enough
This will be an awesome combo with MCT's.
Soup Vendor in heal zoo?
Prince kealeseth gives u way more value?
Oh right, never-mind then lol.
there is only one card being used in zoolock that heals you for 3 so it wouldn't work
Why ? Warlocks have enough card draw with hero power and librarian.
That taunt thing is a focused token counter that is not as broken as Giggling Inventor was.
And I love that Tuskarr Chef guy.
They are really trying to make heal paladin work.
Soup Vendor at first glance seems pretty meh but if you think about it..right now there really isn't that many high stated 1 or 2 drops outside of Flame Imp and Keleseth that can contest with this card, and even they don't contest well with this..4 health is a lot for a two drop. But the only downside is for this to really work well on curve you'll have to have Crystalizer played on curve or opponent plays a Flame Imp turn one or something, might even force some really bad trades. Also it's not too bad in the late game. I'm not saying it's insane or anything but I think it could do well enough in the healadin deck.
Rabble Bouncer..Not too sure how well this will do we will have to see just how aggressive the meta will be.
Edit: Coming back to this one. You are probably gonna laugh but here me out on this one. Light's Justice. That'll be another way to damage yourself on turn one while also fighting for the board.
I'll have a soup 1st, then a Funnel Cake to top it up
Jesus Christ, I am tired of hearing about even and odd bullshit.
Something like Second-Rate Bruiser. But it seems slightly worse.
For a taunt I would say it is actually slightly better...
This art is like: "Do u want some green meth?"
Got some of dat Fel for ya right here
I like the Bouncer, maybe a little expensive at 7 mana but still good if the meta is to agro, altough it dies to mossy horror battlecry.
Soup vendor maybe sees play on the new healadin, or than that probably not gonna see any play.
Edit: add a word.
Odd Paladin stopper and some weird card draw (for new heal Paladin or something?)
rabble bouncer seems like a meh arena card(opponent having 3 minions on field turn it into a bad 5 drop) and the healing dude seems neat in healadin(if it fit into) also, btw, first
what is basic math omegalul
*youre dropping the body of a bad 5 drop for 4 mana, thats what i meant, maybe it sees plays on a heavy aggro meta(wich the cards revealed so far dont excatly point to) but in arena i cant see myself picking this card. like the card isnt better but there are better picks(and this kinda hurts evolve)
