It’s Gahz’rilla – a card that only ever saw niche play – but worse 😐
Pretty good target for Lady in White, for whatever that’s worth.
its similar to that nightmare dragon that doubled its attack at the beginning of your turn which was a 2/8 and never saw play. this has higher stats but requires you overkill to get the ball rolling but even if it does get rolling its easily stopped by alot of things. 3/5
Could be ok in the new spell pally for late game.
Maybe
No real way to cheese this unfortunately.
1/5
Pack fillerrrrr… Although it will probably be good in Solo Adventures, just like Gurubashi Berserker is.
I take one look at this and think this would be horrifying in odd priest. Pretty explanatory either use innerfire straight out for a 10/10 on turn 7/8 or double it’s health with moth on turn 8 and innerfire it. Either way that’s very threatening.
Initial thought is too slow for constructed, however, the stat line is so strong for T7, with the effect on top its a big threat in a slower deck, so could see some fringe play. Probably 2.5/5
In arena though this card is really strong, probably verging on 4.5/5
If this only had taunt it would be so much better or rush at least.
I’m sure you have to attack the trigger overkill so taunt wouldn’t work.
Sry, saw your other comment. and yh taunt would make it a lot stronger
Synergy with rush is obvious, but maybe with taunt it could be good too, since i figured overkill can be triggered by your opponent trading into your overkill minion, right?
unfortunatly it doesn’t work that way, you have to do the trades in order to benefit from the overkill effect
No, it does work like that im pretty sure
Overkill triggers only if you attack with the minion/weapon which has that keyword, never if it is attacked. That’s how it works, 100% sure.
Can confirm that it does not trigger from your opponent trading into it. Logically the effect for many of the overkill cards would be far too overpowered if this were the case.
Too bad, then giving it taunt is not such a good idea.
Buff (I think) to the random 7 drop evolve/yip pool, but will never see constructed play on its own.
I would say, this plus give a minion rush effects can be kinda good.
Indeed. Rocket boots is only 2-mana which makes for a 1-turn-play, and rush warrior may be a thing considering it’s loa.
Don’t forget Shaw
Why on earth would you ever play Rocket boots and the Rhino Loa in the same deck? Rocket Boots are already a very weak card without putting it in a deck where sizeable amount of minions already have Rush. Thats idea as bad as playing Sunfury protector in quest Warrior
No what you would want is to summon this with the boomship comes out with rush and 2 other minions.
