It's a one turn vampiric effect for 6 that costs 8 mana... it's semi-vulnerable to most classes, and Gods know that no one would want to run into it with their minion(s) and give you more health back... I'm on the fence. As a die hard lock player, I want to like this... I really really do. The cost is the killer for me since you wouldm't necessarily put it in an aggro deck, and there are other options for control that are more cost effective.
late game 5/5 taunt for 1... I really don't see how this is a bad thing. Early game, especially with Questline, works well to potentially help with tempo. I get that manathirst is supposed to give more purpose to cards that have low late game appeal that are better at the beginning, and this card exemplifies it pretty well. Seriously, if you didn't pop it early to get something in your hand to push questline along, you get a 2 for late game for 1. Still good value
If you're willing to rock a dragon themed paladin deck, this is ridiculous because it's coasts over the next turn as well. Other than that, I think this is rather mediocre
The question I have to this is if it would trigger on summoned Silver Hand Recruits if you have played the recruit buffs? The reason I ask is that when you drop Cariel and summon a recruit, only AFTER it hits the board is it recognized as having the buff... So could this enhance it further, or would it be lost on those summons?
Who cares if it is a game winner... Deck of Lunacy along with C'Thun, the Shattered is going to be just fun with this. Kick in Energy Shaper for an added bonus piece and this is just going to be hilarious. AGain, not sure if it will be competitive, but it certainly looks fun
2 for a 2/2 is meh at best. BUT, if you're attacking, then this is going to be a mean beast(pun intended). The idea that you draw this late game to take out a gnarly taunt minion or even an "evasive" minion is great.
6 for 8 damage and +2/+2 to all your minions everywhere... not bad, but less than thrilling for other buff options with Hunter. Granted, what's better than the kennels with this is that this will get all minions vs only beasts. Still though, 6 mana for a weapon in hunter is rough
I like that this has the delayed effect as well. 2 for 4 armor is not bad, think Shield Block for druid only a turn faster without the added draw. With how efficient Druid is showing to be at drawing in the current meta, this seems like a better deal
Targeted removal has always been something that Druid wants and when it get it, there are nerfs or removal from the current meta Thanks Naturalize. This is a buff and removal card that is certainly going to be beneficial to undead theme decks
This is not getting the credit is deserves. IT's better than Savage Roar and Bloodlust because this is a permanent buff. The downside is that damned starfish is lurking around, and probably will be more than ever now
The cost is what will limit this more than anything, but totally will still see play
Well this is going to be annoying as hell
Silverware Golem got an upgrade

The reborn with that deathrattle alone could make this playable. Add on the Taunt and Lifesteal and it's just wonderful.
Too bad this wouldn't work for Da Undatakah

I think that this will be used more than we think. It's deck thinning/draw that also gives a little bump to the damage.

How hard is it for Druid to get to 5 mana? This with Jerry Rig Carpenter is kinda fun. Too bad it's not a Nature card though

Turns 1-4, at least those Silver Hand Recruits will get removed before too much damage gets applied. Turn 5 and with spell damage = kiss my grits
Unless there is going to be a hard counter to the summons outside of Counterspell or Blademaster Okani, this is going to be wonderful
