Aside from that, any deck running this boar will have Whitemayne or Gorefiend in it.
Just a fun silly card. Love seeing these and trying to get them to work. That sword art is awesome too!

You can run 2, meaning you'll only need to create 5 more.
Hunter is obviously the easiest choice, but I feel like it would be kind of pointless. Rogue would be great thanks to Grand Empress, but they no longer have actual shuffle support. Technically Druid can do it to with Menagerie Warden and Germination and all that nonsense.
I'm assuming there might be some more neutral support for it.
At the end of the day it's probably gonna be another Highkeeper Ra. It doesn't matter if you can realistically assemble the combo, if the result doesn't win the game on the spot it's probably not worth it.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Someone is gonna have to walk me through just how to get 7 copies of this pig dead in standard. In wild, Rogue has this easy with Togwaggle's Scheme and Lab Recruiter, and unlike Mogu Cultist, they don't all have to be in play at the same time.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Better than Mogu Cultist, but still just a silly meme card nonetheless. I'm glad that they're willing to print cards like these from time to time.
Arena > Wild > Standard
Does not seem very good BUT I can NOT give this a 5 star just because of the south park episode.
For the Memes! Nothing else
Memes are strong with this one, but that is about it I think

The one guy who gave this card 1 star was probably the guy with no life that died to Sword of a Thousand Truths.
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)

Considering Rogue can stealth its Hero now this just might be legit

just a silly meme he said, this is 3 card combo
Absolutely love it. Of course it's trash competitively, but the memeability and the South Park reference make it a top tier card.
5 star card for the meme value. And if you don't get the joke... shame on you and look it up
That being said, one could possibly do it with rez priest.
Reading that sword's name got me like ...
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
I love this card. I am almost certain it won't be a good deck but I'm sure it will be fun to try and make happen. I'm interested in how epic the animation will be to equip the weapon and what it will look like as it destroys the mana crystals. I think Hunter, Priest, and Druid will have a decent time making this work. Shaman might pull it off if they can drop both minions and double Vivid Spores them. In any case, I'm looking forward to this one.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Love it love it love it. Totally trash and useless card, but I love it. Yes, I will absolutely play this until I get to kill someone with the Sword. I'm thinking Wild.

Obligatory 5 stars for meme value.
This is one of the cards that fall under the category of "fun card that is not meant to be competitive". If this ever becomes a core card in a tier 1 deck, it will be nerfed.
FINALLY THEY PRINTED A MEME CARD! I have honestly been waiting for this for a while, i'm certainly going to play around with Elwynn Boar!
But outside of meme decks obviously just a bad card. But when it works it will be glorious.
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.
Awesome Meme Card , but i kinda guess thats it?
Still i will try to pull this one off at least once!

This seems a lot easier to trigger than [Hearthstone Card (mogu cultists) Not Found] since you can play them at any points throughout the game. I also don't think it will be nearly as hard to trigger as it seems. The deathrattle does specify that all 7 boars have to die, so I don't think you will be able to cheat it by triggering the deathrattles extra times. You also aren't able to bounce the cards with brewmasters and such, which may make it harder. But you could easily use Raise Dead and Teron Gorefiend to get enough copies.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
So 1 swing and the opponent's mana crystals are reset to 1? Pretty much instant win even if you're facing a Warrior and can't kill them in 3 hits because they have more than 45 health + armor. Probably going to be pretty hard to get 7 copies of Elwynn Boar. Perhaps Dire Frenzy, though making them tougher in this case would be a disadvantage. Also, what's the connection to boars and the sword?
You have a South Park avatar and you don't know the flavor of this card? Shame! Shame! Shame! :P
The only hope for this card is if it's viable as an alternative win condition. Someone mentioned two Vivid Spores a 4 card combo that wouldn't work bc that's only 6 boars. If something else works like that it's possible it gets sneaked in.
However decks that try to win using two cards that don't always show up tend not to be good.
The Only Constructed Deck Worth Playing:

Just to be certain, this does not work with Mok'Nathal Lion or Vectus, right?
Copying the DR does not work, that specific minion needs to die 7 times, right?
Its like Mogu Cultist, except conceivably worse, not merely because of the inferior reward compared to Highkeeper Ra but also because there is the chance of a coin ooze coming out. And since combo decks are wholly reliant on the combo to win, even with 2 mana its likely the opponent can still scrap a win out.
The problem with this card ranges from actually manufacturing more boars out, the boars getting silenced, and the fact that your opponent can activate the combo for you and subsequently destroying the weapon before you even get a swing out. The only way this card gets overpowered (and subsequently nerfed because team5 have stated before they prefer stuff like this to be available but low powered) is that you can consistently get it done early enough with tutor cards before your opponent builds a huge board.
But of course Im wasting everyone's time with this review. Its a fun card. Fact of the matter is that its going to be played regardless of its viability anyway and much like mogu cultist, its not really going to get anywhere.
This looks so strong.
Mom... Bathrooooooooom.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
So going to play this in Wild.

Compare this mega reward vs the new priest quests reward. This one is fun while priest is so dry.
Another meme card, like Mogu Cultist, but has serious potential for a few classes like Hunter and Priest. Excited to see it in action!
I predict this will be the most played card from the expansion. S Tier meme card.
Super flavorful card, especially for those southpark fans. It will be tricky to copy and kill 7 boards, but there is the new farmer dude and I'm sure someone will create a crazy deck that pulls this off quite easily. Keen to experiment!
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
fun card, but of no use
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Wow, just... For The Meme! (Charges at anemy)
5 stars
It doesn't look that great, and it's likely very hard to pull off the Deathrattle, but who cares? It looks awesome, and the reference is amazing!
Incredible reference. My own attempts thus far have been laughable, but I do want to one day craft my own deck that gets to pull this off. Only then will I look at the refined lists and smack myself in the face for not being close to them.
