It's hideous.
Seems like a solid card for both priests and warlocks. I play more priest but I can easily tell you how many times I've played Renew, Renew, Hero Power all on my face. Bam, that's an easy 3 mana discount in a single turn. Priests are naturally going to be healing themselves throughout most games they play. If they can get cheap 3 mana or less 8/8s just for doing something they were already likely going to do, then this card has some serious potential.
For Warlocks, there's the double dipping aspect of both dealing self damage as well as healing it, potentially making it even more reliable than for priest. To top it off, this card's cost is extremely cheap for a giant starting only at 8 mana. It's literally at it's worst, an 8 mana 8/8 and let's face it, it's never going to be played for that in either class. You'd be hard pressed to find a time it's ever even played for 6 mana.
Priest doesnt need tempo cards, best example is grave horror this card fit in a zoo tempo oriented deck
Seems a bit short-sighted to blanketly suggest that Priest doesn't need tempo cards. Kind of limits future design space with that line of reasoning don't you think?
Does this have to be in your hand to be used? Or does the effect happen "this game"?
Good question. I made the assumption that it would be throughout the game regardless if it was in your hand or not but after thinking about it, that might not be the case.
no and this is what makes this card good, its not even 10 mana and ever change in health counts
btw "health changed during my turn". So if I as a warlock lose health 1st, then heal by anything, will it tick 2 times?
yep
Maybe some kind of heal-zoolock come back this way
Bad news daddy!
Really loving this health change thing that they've started - hope they can continue it beyond the expansion.
Priest’s can’t change their Health if you deal all 30 damage at once >:D
easy, use hero power 2 times, draw this, 8/8 for 6 Mana.
6 mana 8/8 is good tempo, hero powering face two times by turn 6 is not. It somewhat balances out.
I'm thinking fuel for cube priest, to play it with Grave Runes and/or Psyche Split in one turn, but might be too slow. Maybe Mad Bomber could be a decent include to speed up the reduction?
hey, it's Festergut

I see this in zoolock
For xskarma's "cuteness rating": 2 out of 5.
Pretty good class giant. But for now, it's much better in Warlock, since they have access to both damaging and healing themselves (like with Nether Breath, Aranasi Broodmother and Siphon Soul) while Priest is pretty much limited to healing. Not to mention Warlock's card draw abilities. Maybe the common lets Priest sacrifice some health as well, but this really seems more like a Warlock card. Around turn 6, it can reasonably be reduced to 3 mana or less, making a turn with Sunfury Protector pretty feasable.
Along with Brittlebone Destroyer, it looks like Control Warlock gets some nice cards.
