    Hilarious! They're playing word games here. Unless I'm mistaken, this works just like previous ogres that read "50% chance to attack the wrong enemy." So it's an okay card, I guess, but it gives me a chuckle.

    Obligatory "Good stats for the cost". 5/5 meme card, nothing more nothing less.

    It's a funny and flavorful card, but I don't see it being used much in constructed. Generally by the time you are playing 5+ mana cards you are looking for more than just raw stats.

    You can play it in buffadin. Play +8/8 buff and then pray for face :D

    Nice, a new ogre so people can include it in their "all ogre" meme deck. but other then that, this is just an arena card. But i really like that they changed the text to "50% chance to hit the correct target" instead of "50% chance to hit the wrong target". Sure it means the exact same, but i still like it.

    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.

    Clearly not meant for constructed play. The video provided showed the minion triggering when it attacked the wrong enemy though. Shouldn't the trigger be the other way around?

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    The flavor is real, the playability is not. Pack filler memes.

    Nah guys, you see, 50% chance to attack the correct enemy is worse than attacking the wrong enemy.

    With a 50% chance to attack the wrong enemy, it has a 50% chance to ignore Taunt and hit face. But this has a 50% chance to attack the right enemy, meaning it has a 50% chance to just attack the Taunt instead of the face.

    5/5 for the text, 1/5 for the card.

    Despite this ogre's attitude, I'm not optimistic of their constructed viability. I'll see myself out.

    I would love nothing more than for a player to randomly summon this in a major tournament and have it decide the game!

    We now just need an ogre that is capable of attacking any character so we can go full retard and truly complete the ogre theme.

    I HATE these types of cards.  I get that they have flavor from WoW and what not and lend a nod to the duality of two heads, but they are just unplayable

    5/5 stars. That brand of mindless optimism really can spread. I can't help but think this as a meta changer, a blockbuster of epic proportions. The old Gods themselves will think themselves accursed to ever ignore the ever powerful wave of positive thinking that emanates from this one card.

    After all, if we can have a best selling book raving about it making millions in the process, who am I to say its just nothing more than mindless gulling of those in need of real help?

    Flavor mwah delicious. The actual card is pretty bad I don't believe we'll see this much except maybe in some meme decks

    Great joke on a bad card. Still, I like seeing amusing twists on old things, even if they're trash.

    Just big stats on a body, and it comes with a downside. I am unfortunately not optimistic about its chances to see play.

    I have spoken.

    I love that we finally have a chance to attack the correct enemy. Makes me feel so much better about playing ogres. Do we have enough of these guys to make a full on ogre deck?

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
