    Well...I guess we're here. Boulderfist Ogre no longer has good stats for its cost.

    I tried having fun once.

    Meh not sure about this. Seems like a Silence priest kinda card, or just a card for arena.

    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.

    great stats for the cost, and the deathrattle can be largely silenced off. 

    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 think overall the cons outweigh the pros and unless you can play this right on curve the extra stats won't be worth it. You could silence it or something, but at that point it is too much trouble to get a slightly better than average 4-drop.

    5/7 for 4 is pretty insane, but I feel most cards that deal damage to you as a drawback are not that successful which gives the card a negative association.

    Just run it with Silence effects or the forgotten Deathwarden and watch your opponents quake in fear of a fully operational 5/7 for 4 Mana! It's a pretty dangerous card to run in most decks, and I don't think it does enough to make up for the downside.

    I have spoken.

    I really like this card. Its obviously meant for Death Speaker Blackthorn, but taking 5 damage each? Well, that's too much to ask in my book.

    Unfortunately, with so few good deathrattles around, you'll likely see this in deathrattle dhunter, and little else other than arena. Outside of that, this is just hot trash.

    Reminiscent of Hench-Clan Shadequill, which wasn't really good enough to see much play. This is a little better in terms of pushing damage (since it won't remove its own damage), but it's still probably not good enough.

    You only need 1 Health to win. Any more health is BM. That's why aggro won't care about the DR. And the stats are huge for the cost. The only reason I don't see this seeing play is that pure aggro decks will probably prefer to have Kazakus, Golem Shaper as their top end if they don't have any essential 4 drops.

    Also, it's a decent payoff for DR DH. the DR is negligible for a class with so much Lifesteal.

    Now, I'm not saying this is a great card. It's just not as horrible as some people think, as people tend to believe you need to silence this for it to be good. 

    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)

    Overstatted, yes. Obvious downside, also yes. Good enough for the + to cancel out the -? I'm not sure.

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

    Probably the one card that's kind of holding Deathrattle DH together right now.

    I think it may see some light play, but I doubt it will become relevant in most cases.

    I think the 5 damage will prove too much for play unless silence decks make a comeback.

    Decent value for aggro decks, I would also consider using this in a silence priest deck, since it's not the end of the world if the effect goes off and it can only get better from there.  I feel like Pit Lord is crying in a corner, though.

    this doesn't seem fun. I'm sad because I don't like hitting myself and my opponent is sad because demon hunter is broken again.

    Bittertide Hydra was great, and this can't be cheesed into losing. However, the attack is much less threatening.
    Normally I'd say silence is a joke, but Silence Priest got support in the core set, so maybe?

    Apparently you're supposed to use this in a Deathrattle Demon Hunter. That will most likely never happen and other than that it doesn't really have a place in Constructed.

    I think you are going to want to silence this. Or maybe use Deathwarden, except if you have deathrattles you want to trigger.

    Hey! I thought deathrattles in this set would be good for demonhunter!

    This is not good

    For The HORDE!

    Might be played in DR DH, if it ends up fast enough to not care about their own health.

    Mostly an Arena card, with a maybe for topping out an aggro deck if they really need it.

    Nice stats for cheap. Downside isn't too bad. Could see use.

    This reminds me of Bittertide Hydra for having scary stats for the cost with taking damage as a downside. I see aggressive potential for Darkspear Berserker, but I also get the feeling that the stats don't matter as much in modern Hearthstone. If your aggressive deck doesn't run that many four drops, then I'd consider trying to fit in Kazakus, Golem Shaper over this. If there is ever a way to cheat Darkspear out (besides DH), then maybe it'll see play.
