    But if you use the mistcaller then you play skeleton knight,when he dies and you win the joust will you have a 7/4 in your hand or it will have 8/5.

    I was sceptical first, but I think this card might actually see some play. You put this and 2 or 3 other high-cost game-sealers in a deck (Ragnoros, Ysera, Alextrasza) and play a lot of control. Naturally, some Mage variant comes to mind (which would be sweeeeet). Also Rogue could be an option.

    Mage:
    2 frost bolt, 2 flame cannon, 2 fireball, 2 polymorph, 2 Fire Lance, maybe even 2 dragon breath…
    Rogue:
    2 Assisinate, 2 Sabotage, 2 blade flurry, 2 fan of knives, 2 sprint, 2 backstab, 2 eviscerate…

    probably not competetive, but man, would this deck be fun.

    All is done in this card to remove it quickly (BGH, flamestrike, even flamecannon…), so, everything is done to make your adversary use its removal and you, with chance, coming back every time with the same minion.

    The cost (6) is way to high to keep playing that game along, but, in a way, with this single card always coming back, you can force the guy across the board to use all its removals, which is, in the end, a good thing because it means that your greatest minions will be safe when coming.

    For me, it can be use as a tempo. Its main flaw is (apart form its cost), it become useless with a sheep, hex or silence effect. But all cards are in a way.

    Way too slow for constructed. Too similar to Fuegen (Or stalaag, the 7/4) Which is never played. And even with card advantage you can get from this, Its stats are simply no good for the cost.
