Damn, I really like the design of this card. This is basically an 8 mana Runaway Blackwing. In the right meta, this card could be insane. If this manages to eat a sizeable enemy minion every turn, this will basically grow infinitely and carry the game on its own.
I’m really biased towards this card, so I’ll call it a 3/5. 8 mana is sadly a pretty late time to play essentially a deadly shot tied to a minion with no other effect, and you might just end up sniping some random silver hand recruits.
Vanndar Stormpike is required to make this playable. Even then it ends up in some big minion deck that is control oriented in an aggro meta.
Eat random enemy? With a stat like that, I don’t think this one gonna sees any play. Or did they really try to push Control deck this time?
Another card for Alliance. I get it. Now for the horde please.
Man Rag really let himself go. Now he’s only a 4/6 that shoots Silver Hand Recruits.
