Doomsayer.
There are some interesting applications with this card. It’s a great followup to a Brawl, it’s a good followup to a Pally Equality clear, it can follow up Dragonfire potion…
It’s really bad if not paired with a board clear, but it’s possible that board clear is prevalent enough to give this thing some play. The possibilities are there for experimentation at least. Another cool card design; even if it isn’t good, it gets you thinking about new possibilities, which is a mark of good design in my eyes.
Dirty Rat > Corrupting Mist/Doomsayer (Handlock type combo) then drop this at the start of your turn, it’s quite likely to be 6/6 at least.
… but then again, in Handlock you could have an 8/8 on the board on turn 4.
Flaming treant never saw play, which was 4 cost by the time you killed 5 minions.
For 5 dead minions this will be a 6/6 , whereas the treant was 7/8 with taunt that never saw play. At it worst however the treant was still better.
Druid has never had good boardclear though. Other classes might find more success with a card that synergizes off of this.
