Now we see one of the core cards for DH! This card breaks 2 rules at the same time - it has charge and ignores taunts. It's very strong, but we should expect Demon Hunter and his cards to be be that strong at the launch.
I like this, if only because of how much it punishes the various different Rez/Big Priests that like to rely on big taunts to overrun the board and shut down the game.
Even a 3/5 with rush for 4 mana would be great. It's nice to see some experimentations with old mechanics. Sad that Leeroy had to die for this though...

The wet dream of all SMOrc decks. Must craft for any DH deck.
Demon Hunter? Nope
Face Hunter? Yup
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.

The cost for this minion is fair but the effect is quite scary against wall decks. It makes Black Knight and silence cards seem obsolete. But As far as the current meta only taunt decks i see are Rez Priest and Embi Druid so we'll see what kind of new taunt meta will show. Regardless, during the initial DH hype, NO ONE will dare to play taunt.

Obviously very strong, allowing for unexpected burst through taunts. Even just dropping this on 4 and valuetrading for it will be good. Expect to see this in every single Demon Hunter list for the coming 2 years.
I can kind of see what’s going on here. I had assumed that charge was gradually going away, being relegated to weak basic and classic cards only useful in niche decks. But it looks like they want charge to be a rare and useful thing—not all classes will get it, but for those few, it’ll let them shore up some big weakness.
Still, wouldn’t be astounded if this card ends up being broken in actual play. I’m guessing DH gets a lot of tweaking over its first year.
without a strong board to take use of it's ability or a hero with a high attack it's a 4 mana Lightning bolt on a body.
It's obviously a finisher but Demon Hunter will need to rely on having minions stick to the board long enough for this guy to be effective, and I can't see them swarming the field and they're minions aren't that healthy
This was probably the first card I saw that was an auto-craft for me outside of Metamorphosis. Insane! I was thinking they might eventually give us an ignore taunt type of keyword, but a general effect for your entire board? Definitely only allowable on a one of legendary. Also glad it's not a neutral.
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.

No 6 health from Khartut Defender for you
*Goes Dormant
That's an annoying card.
It's hard to predict what illdan's playstyle is, but this card will be the reason to play smorc archetype, you have so many card draws too.
good lord, Blizzard hates the $#!+ out of control
Rage quitting: the best way to ensure your opponent knows they beat a giant baby.
Love it. Will probably be my single legendary craft for the set.
The face plays taunt?
me still go face!
Very cool to see Charge printed on a card after so long. This card is going to piss a lot of people off.

Hard-counters Fire Plume's Heart lol...but I guess I'm the only one running that deck nowadays.
If you have the time, you should totally check out our weekly Hearthstone card design competitions! :D

This seems super broken, and a possible candidate for quick nerf.. Let's hope they have tested it enough.
4 mana for only three damage probably means that this is worse than Consume Magic
This post is discussing the wild format.
it's a strong card but not on it's own.

One of the best card of this set. He have an unique ability and we are going to see in all DH deck

Play Stealth/Burglar rogue, Get this. Ignore your enemy's hopes.
