    Could put it in Hunter, but I'm not sure if that's even worth

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Not sure if it sees play, 3 dmg might be too big of a downside. But it might have some potential though.

    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.

    some more self-damage for warlock, but outside that I cant see much use. 

    At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit. 

    Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.

    I'm not sure about just a 2-mana 2/4. Hunter isn't that desperate for 2-drops (or maybe they are, who can tell at this point)

    I tried having fun once.

    On turn 2 a 2/4 is very strong, but after turn 4 the small gain in stats starts to become less and less impressive. I don't think this will see any play unless you have some way of utilizing the face damage in some way.

    Darkglare Warlock has enough self-damage already that they don't need to dig so deep to include this, and I can't imagine any other deck wanting to run it.

    It hasn't worked nearly every other time they've tried this design and I don't really see why this would be any different.

    It's worse than Vulgar Homunculus which has Taunt and deals one less damage to you.

    Not all classes value their own health as much, but 1 health over a River Croc isn't amazing either. Maybe Beast Hunter wants to use this.

    Probably a filler minion, there's nothing special about this card, and you can probably do better plays on turn 2. Hunter might include this card in some type of deck.

    1 extra health does not make taking 3 damage an equal trade off. Unless you're going ultra tempo aggro, something which I doubt can ever happen these days, there's simply better 2 drops than this guy. [Hearthstone Card (Bonechew brawler) Not Found] may have 1 less health, but at least that's a must kill and actually prevents you from dying.

    Will it see niche in painlock? I doubt it. Voidwalker is no longer with us, so painlock has got to manage its self damaging cards well, and this one seems like something that will more often than not backfire.

    Just seems bad... A Vulgar Homunculus that deals more damage and lacks Taunt. I don't see any situation this would be played. Probably going to be one of those cards you only see off of Evolve/Devolve effects and random generation.

    Bit too much. Plus, warlock in wild has a much better card unless you WANT to do more damage to your face. Maybe see some play in the Obelisk quest priest.

    I don't know if that extra point of health is worth the self damage. Although if this is meant to fill out aggro decks, that damage may not be relevant to what you are doing to the opponent.

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

    Just a decent (at best) arena card, nothing else.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    2 Mana 2/4 with a downside never sees play.

    ...

    Yes I know Mo'arg Artificer sees play, but at least you can spin it into a benefit instead!

    Interesting, but the downside may not be worth the +1 health on a Crocolisk

    Taunt and 1 less damage and this would be decent

    Bad flame imp. I think it's bad and will rarely get used outside of meme making.

    Maybe Hunter wants it but if they really struggle so much to find good beasts that they include this in their deck, it's not a good sign.

    Would this go in a self-damage warlock deck? There might be better things to include with Darkglare and Flesh Giant. The rest of the self-damage synergies look to be rotating out.

    Unless you want to deal damage to yourself, this is just bad. I don't see this in any deck.

    Zoo, maybe? Seems like there's better options than a more defensively statted Flame Imp that costs more.

    Okay aggressive card. Will experiment with it for sure.

    A neutral Vulgar Homunculus that does more damage to yourself and doesn't have taunt?  Yeah, that's a hard pass for me.

    A slightly better deal than Ornery Tortoise, but that isn't saying much. One extra health is nowhere near worth taking three damage.

    For glory, honor, and gold!
