    interestingly.. Raid Leader saw a lot of play in odd paladin.. this effect seem solid in my opinion.. in paladin I would say...

    Hard to evaluate but if I had to make a guess, it would be no. Effect seems something the more aggressive decks would like to have, but they might struggle with Corrupting it, and I doubt they'll want a 0/5 either.

    LOL no... decks that would want this effect don't want expensive stuff to activate corrupt, decks that run expensive stuff don't want this effect.

    Eh.

    It could be good, but probably not since having a 0/5 is REALLY bad, and you need lots of board presence to really make use of it.

    I could honestly see this in Token Druid.  An AoE buff helps make trades and the 0/5 body could be buffed to the point of relevance.

    When a card let me uninspired for a review, I got see their flavor text, hoping for a context, a hint or a joke :
    '' As far as workplace injuries go, Silas is protected by his statue of limitations. '' .. and sometimes, even the flavor seems tired.

    For an aggro deck, you will want to play these kinds of cards on curve, and when played on curve it is just too vulnerable. It is only good when you already have a good enough board set up so that you can either get lethal, or some really good trades. Or if you can corrupt it, which some aggro decks might have a harder time doing. Somebody mentioned using this in token druid, but I don't know if that deck has any cards that cost more than three, and at the point you might as well run Raid Leader.

    I mean, a 3 mana 4/5 is good. It just comes out a bit too late to be worth it, but definitely pack filler. In arena tho, could be worthwhile as a mediocre pick

    Token druid and aggro pally would love this card. Basically buffs your board's attack and allow for some trades. You'll probably be busy building a board the first 3 turns anyway.

    I don't really rate the +4 attack too highly honestly. It's job is to buff, and act as a soft taunt. If you can corrupt it then its strong, but otherwise, its still going to do what you intended it to do anyway.

    The effect is skewed to more aggro/zoo, but it's too slow to get the corrupted version. Might see play in totem shaman, time will tell.

    My only hesitation to liking this card is that it has to be corrupted to be good.  Otherwise Raid Leader is just better because it can attack.

    This card wins the "creepiest card" award IMO. Reminiscent of Eerie Statue.

    Seems horrible. You want to play these cards on curve, and Darkmoon Statue makes you want to play it on turn 5+. Way too slow. Sure you can use it to give your minions +1 attack, but why not use other/better cards that do stat instead? Raid Leader can do the same, but does have less health, but it also sees no play. (Outside of new players decks.)

    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.

    Aggressive natured cards don't lend themselves well to the corrupt mechanic, which is slow in nature. I'd say that applies to Darkmoon Statue, where a 4/5 minion on turn 5 isn't an appealing play, and I'm not even sure the passive effect is that powerful nowadays.

    Could be decent in totem shaman, but i doubt it. It's just pack filler.

    Living like that.

    Theoretically strong, but aggro decks dont want to run a card that can only be played turn 5+ on and is bad on topdecks.

    First drop 7 mana Expendable Performers to corrupt this, then plop him down to run 25 damage into the enemy board and have a 4/5 left over. Then ask yourself why you didn't just run Marrowslicer + Lapidary and go face.

    The decks that want this often can't corrupt this consistently. Instant Dust.

    This card looks like something that would be good in aggro, but the corruption requirement makes it less usable.

    I want to like this card - it's a cool effect, and I'm a fan of 0-Attack minions because I always feel extra good winning with them. Unfortunately as others have said, I don't see much use for this - Zoo and Aggro decks would prefer minions that can attack (which this guy rarely will be able to, due to their tendency towards low-cost cards) and other decks just don't want it.

    Im interested to see if this can find a place in any deck. Problem might be that the deck that wants to play this will have a hard time Corrupting it.

    Decent token support, even without the corrupt effect. I think it will see play in an aggro style swarm deck.

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

    It's interesting. Drop as a finisher (though probably not) or to get better trades and present a kinda must kill. Aggro never corrupts this, though.

    It is a 3-drop with 5 Health that your opponent probably wants to kill, but not so powerful that it's definitely winning you the game if your opponent doesn't deal with it. Probably not worth running in Zoo or Token style decks.

    I have spoken.
