I think the main reason why people think this card is trash is the idea that you are handicapping your own cards when in reality it’s meant to provide some form of Deathrattle Strategy. Give this card some time, and I think it can OP in the right hands.
3 Stars.
That appears to be what it’s saying… they fight each other. But has this been confirmed?
Completely different card if they fight any character or other minions etc.
Wierd card. I want to see it in action. <3
Not super optimistic about this one. Even Duel Paladin never took off, and duel costed 5 mana and didn’t require your minions to severely injure each other. Might see play in a couple fringe decks, so I’ll give it a 3/5.
Yes, *claps* this is exactly what we needed. A 6 mana card that lets us take 2 minions from our deck and lets them fight each other. What a great addition Blizzard and not only that, but it’s also in the class that doesn’t benefit from it. Even in big decks or deathrattle decks this would be shit, because the big things would just kill eachother immediately and the deathrattle things would also either kill eachother to get some shitty effects off or survive with low health.
I hope the effect is just worded weird and it lets us fight opponent’s minions instead.
Love this card. Put some deathrattle and imprisoned minions, throw a big demon like Taintheart Tormenter and you might have a deck.
Imprisoned minion sounds good, but maybe not a equal stats like Tormenter 8/8. The point of this card is to add 2 threats to the board without them killing eachother.
“They” fight? Your minions? With each other? In what scenario would you even want this?
Perhaps big deathrattles could work out with this. If you happen to pull out 2 coilfang warlords, for example, you just spent 6 mana for 2 5/9s. Definitely not bad.
Same thing could work with plagued protodrake, scrapyard colossus, fel summoner, the 5 mana 1/1 that summons a 5/8 on death, and probably a couple others.
Issue with this deck are all the cards you won’t be able to use in it. Early game minions are out of the question, so you’d just have to manage with weapons and spells. A lot of other minions are also ruled out since they wouldn’t be great pulls out of proving grounds, like inquisitor.

Funny idea, but why 6 mana??
Casting 6 mana to summon two 6+ cost minions is quite okay, especially if both minions survive the fights. There’s not enough Big Deathrattle in Standard right now, but I can see this usable in the long run. Plus, many of those have equal stats, so it’s not preferred. 4/5
Coilfang, Smug Senior, or Dragonmaw to name a few.
