    I think a 5 mana 7/8 with Taunt is enough for a Soul Fragment deck to be viable. This card can stop aggro decks by itself, and one hit is almost 1/4th of your opponents life gone.

    Amazing card. This is going to make control Warlock really good.

    Soul Fragments look really good for Warlock, as they give you health back after tapping your hero-power. But this helps you prevent a LOT of damage from board. This is a really good pay-off if you ask me. And it's a demon, which means you can ress it with the Prime legendary. If you don't have a Soul Fragment in your deck, than you still won't feel that bad playing it. 5 mana 4/5 taunts are quite common these days. (Shield of Galakrond). I fee like this card will see a lot of play.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Very efficient when it is active, maybe enough that a slower warlock deck running School Spirits and Soul Shear could use it as an anti-aggro tool.

    As for aggro, the enablers are just too slow for this to see a lot of play.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    This looks kinda nuts to be honest. It's an Earth Elemental without Overload in any dedicated Soul fragment deck

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    This is good, even if you don't have fragments it's not a bad card to just drop for the stats and the taunt. But if you DO have a fragment oh boy.

    Yeah, this card is super strong.  Getting rid of 2 healing to get +3/+3 on a taunt is massive.  This thing basically helps take up the hole left by Mountain Giant in slower Warlock lists, but can even be a big swing minion in some zoo lists.

    Definitely include it in any Fragment deck since it's basically just Earth Elemental without the Overload (the reason Earth Elemental almost never saw play in the first place).

    Niiiice. Those soul fragments might be worth to build a deck around.

    7/8 taunt on t5/t4 just makes you look for a reliable way to put some of those sweet fragments in your deck prior to dropping that bomb on the board.

    Seems kinda busted. The cards that create Soul Fragments are solid in itself, so there's not really any drawbacks in running them. I'd daresay the battlecry might get a nerf to +2/+2 at some point, unless the meta pushes Fragment Warlocks out before that and the card never gets to shine.

    Pretty good in a control warlock, but not sure if it's worth running over Abyssal Summoner. Maybe alongside it.

    This seems very easy to trigger thanks to being a 5-drop, so most of the time this Earth Elemental with no downside. Great card, staple for the archetype.

    It's fairly vanilla stats for cost - Shield of Galakrond sees play as a 4/5 taunt but only because of it's beneficial battlecry and invoke keyword.

    It's demon tribal tag allows for it to be generated off of Call of the void, or even duplicated with Felosophy (with +1/+1 if played with the Outcast ability). They can also be generated from the Dark Council, which will make it a 6/8 with taunt instead, but your RNG will have to be lucky for that to happen.

    If it destroys a soul fragment in your deck it becomes a massive 7/8, which is the stats of the Earth Elemental without the Overload penalty next turn.

    I believe that the soul fragments for warlock were already going to see play with their synergy with the flesh giants, and these will have to be an auto-include as well.

    Looks pretty nice, and it’s especially nice to see them pushing the wild deck a bit more away from Voidcallers and Gul’dan.

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    I think the biggest pay off card for soul fragment lock so far, this one will most likely be the reason that soul-lock become competitive.

    It has taunt, and its a big demon very reminiscent of Hooked Reaver, and that card was for the most part considered to be a strong inclusion. This one has 1 more health, and tied to a condition that is easily enough to be satisfied. Even if its not a 7/8 its still a decent taunt on 5, which warlock can appreciate.

    If soul fragments is the deck, then I can't see why this wouldn't make the inclusion.

    Really strong and on t5 you should already have some fragments in your deck. Probably a real staple for the archetype.

    A big beatstick that can be played at a time beatstick don't tend to be this big. There is a reason the Hand-locks of old included Sunfury Protector on their lists. And this guy has Giant-like stats without needing an extra card to give it Taunt, which is a nice addition.

    Oh yeah, this looks fun. All you need is the right setup and you have a nice big taunt with value stats. Not likely to work well as demon synergy, though, in terms of cards that summon the demons from your hand or deck. That would bypass the powerful battlecry.

    By turn 5 you should probably have at least two fragments in your deck, so this will often be played as a 7/8 taunt on curve. Powerful!

    This is either obviously busted which makes it bizarre that it was printed in its current state, or it's going to end up being just solid.

    But I don't see how this isn't busted.

    I expect this to get nerfed pretty quickly.

    5 mana 7/8 is pretty solid for warlock. I reckon it could be a one-off in some fragment decks.

    Do we have enough Soul Frag enablers to keep this consistent? I don't think so, but maybe we are not too far from it either, and we are used to RNG by now, right? Right? Oh boy...

    One of the new big guns, a reason to believe in brute force again, the key card for Fraggle Lock - gotta love this guy. I almost can't imagine not running him (or her, I suppose - do Voidthings have gender?) unless I'm just stubbornly opposed to all Soul Fragment hijinks, or just blindly loyal to the Chillwind Yeti. Another card we'll be seeing a lot of very soon.

    This is very close to Mountain Giant levels of threatening, though it comes out a turn later than the giant. Still, a great payoff for the Soul Fragment package in Warlock that can also be copied through Felosophy to continue pressuring your opponent.

    I've danced around it a lot when talking about Soul Fragments before, but I've been too much of a coward to just say it: I think all the pay-off cards probably won't see any play at all, even when they look as insanely good as this.

    Not because they're bad - because they definitely aren't - but because the deck is just better without them.
