A lot of people have been rating this very highly but I have to disagree: it doesn’t interact with token decks and….that’s actually it. Why would you ever play this if you can’t even give that deathrattle to a lot of minions at the same time? And sure, it’s a 2/5, which makes it pretty hard to remove on 3, but let’s say it does survive one turn: what do you do with it? You play a 4 mana minion? There you go, now you have an additional 1/1 in a couple of turns. This just sucks, I don’t see this being played anywhere, let alone in meta decks.
Ok, I didn’t see that this also gave the minion +1/+1. I guess that makes it a bit better, but I still don’t see it getting a lot of play since it can’t affect token minions. All in all, maybe not a super bad card, but I still don’t think it will see play in any meta deck.
This card is super OP in arena when played on turn 3. It’s hard to lose the game if not killed within a turn and with 5 health, that will be hard to do.
