Nowhere. It's total garbage. it's a worse King Krush. Should be 12/12, so at least it could take out the 4/12 dragons or something.

Just curious why is he considered a top player if he doesn't even play rank?
Must be face. Card is so worthless.
Nobody considers Kripp a top player in constructed. He's pretty good in arena, but even in that there are tons of better players.

Oh.... well I figure he was good cause he's on TSM. I guess Reginald is just signing personalities now huh.
My main guess is to kill 6/8s and the like.
Most hearthstone pro teams these days have a couple of noncompetitive streamers signed up. Archon has Nadia, Tempostorm has Reckful, Day9 has Hafu, etc.
New minion is kinda bad, definitely not worth 9. They could have at least made it 12 attack for a Ysera clear.
Not really an infinite, just a full board clear. Could only do 1 damage to face.

Garbage tier

Oh, yeah. That's what I meant, oops
Wait it doesn't even have charge, does it? I keep assuming it does because it's a mount in WoW, I know I mentioned an enabler for it but I am just assuming it does whenever I think of it
If the charge giver was extremely expensive/fragile and a Legendary I don't think it would be a ridiculous combo.

Over half of the cards have been revealed, it's gotta be soon, assuming they dump the rest a few days before it launches like with GvG
He's only near top in Arena. Early on in the Hearthstone era he was good but after the Fight Night stuff he never really played competitive constructed again.

Honestly, it isn't as bad as it looks since it removes something the turn played. You can take out pretty much anything with it, so it is quite versatile.
It has obvious downsides, such as high cost, can't push lethal without silence, dies to bgh or other hard removal...
But I wouldn't call it trash tier. It really is one of the highest board control value cards in the game actually. If you're playing a fatigue deck then this card could fit well, where fights for board decide who wins and not damage to face.

Earth shock it and hit face.
Except it loses charge.
Does that work that way, I've never actually silenced a charger on the turn its played.
Well Silence removes all text.

Kripp and Brode talking on twitter whether or not Icehowl should be a Beast. The Yetis aren't but the boss fight Icehowl is from is the Beasts of Northerend in ToC, lol.
Indeed it does. I just tested it, and you can't attack the same turn its played, never knew that. I always thought charge removed summoning sickness, and that if u silenced it it was already removed, guess not lol.
You can still play it, kill a minion, then silence next turn and hit face. Probably won't see play because of bgh.

I can understand thinking that, I learned Southsea Deckhand can gain and lose charge in the same turn if the weapon is used and breaks when he is played a few weeks ago.
It's only good board control vs. big targets though, and as it trades to remove it is going to push itself low regularly. It's also disrupted by taunt. I feel like many popular decks right now have the ability to ignore Icehowl, or quickly remove him if neccesary. A nine mana removal card also means you don't get to play something defensive, or push yourself back into a position of control. It's a very reactionary card.
I just hit a Zoolock player to the face for 20 damage with Holy Wrath (he was at 19, one shot)....
This is casual mode by the way. I was trying various anti aggro decks out and see how they stack up.
Holy Wrath deck is just a few cards from being pretty insane IMO. It's built for the Jousting mechanic. If there was a way you could get away with not having Ancient Watchers and Sunfury Protectors in the deck that is. Currently it's just a poor man, inconsistent Giant Handlock type deck. Weak to pretty much the same things and not as strong in the match ups as Handlock is. Plus loses harder to control match ups than Handlock. It has less draw but more heal than Handlock.

It is like signing Mike Ross. He was pretty good once, but now can't hang with the pros.
But he is still dead entertaining and is great to involve in any event.
the trick was to OTK 30+ dmg in one hit so you don't have to deal with his transformations
Gaf, I'm going crazy. I'm f2p for the moment on eu but I have some low dust+naxx/brm decks which are nice (500-600 dust decks, taking some popular budget decks and changing some equivalent cards). On past seasons I've managed to get to rank 13 and stay mostly at rank 16 with worse decks.But with this season I only managed to get to rank 16 with my face hunter and some luck, most of the time I'm on 20-19 facing decks with multiple legendaries plus of course the whole naxx/brm. It is a hell of a change, all of a sudden everyone has the top decks from hearthpwn and icy veins and it is only rank 20!!
I thought it will be harder now that they will reward higher ranks but this is crazy, its like 80% of the people have p2win.

Perhaps inactive players with better collections are activating in anticipation of the TGT expansion?
You should try to identify how you're losing the most and change some cards to counter that. Like running cards that destroy weapons if they're being played a lot or something like Kezan Mystic if you're running into trap decks. There are definitely people returning with old decks so your deck is probably not tuned for them. I ran into a freaking Murlock running Leeroy and a Freeze Giant Mage one after the other!

I got to rank 10 pretty easily and this only my first month of playing.... then now I'm at like 16.Basically going backwards everyday now. I'm about ready to end up back at like 25...
But the other day I was doing the daily quest crap with 0 dust basic decks and everyone had at least 2-3 legendary I had to win 5 games on Shaman lost my first 3. Then I just forfeit my next 5 on purpose so I get easier opponents (I'm so smart!) and won 5 straight. Lol
I'm so sick of losing my arena runs to rng bullshit.
MC tech takes my top minion out of a board of 5.
crackle hits for 3.
rag kills the minion i need to clear him, out of 3 targets.
then I brick on two draws to hex.
another game I brick 5 draws in a row to any relevant card that wins me the game. I've got 2 fire elementals al'akir, hex, shredders, sea giant, frostwolf warlord. and what do I draw? fucking puddlestomper, the 2/1 + 1/1 murloc, imp master, etc. basically the bottom of my fucking curve.
I go from ahead on board, ahead on cards ahead on life, just fucking ahead, and by a fair bit, to losing the game on the basis of a couple of dice rolls.

Blizzard are just protecting against the coming Wrathguard meta.

I hope he will get help after all this attention. Unless it's a publicity stunt.
Also, apparently this is a new card:

You can probably trade this single card for 2-3 of your opponent's cards. 2x4 attack minions + another, a 6-9 + another...
It does something strong the turn it is played, and the next turn you can drop taunt on him. Think of all the times you wished ragnaros fireball would hit the exact minion you want, even in tournaments where hitting face would be a loss but removing the minion would be preferable. Now you can remove that minion and the card will likely survive and trade for another card or removal.
He is like a board dominance card. I understand some decks will be capable of ignoring him to some extent (drop taunt on him to make him relevant towards combo decks). But that alone doesn't make him a bad card to include in the right deck. It being a reactionary card is fine, because the cards he can react well is quite wide.
All the reddit armchair doctors are out in spades it seems.
A Boulderfist Ogre with a drawback? Yeah, no thanks.
Blizzard heard about us joking about patron legendaries so they actually went and made a patron epic
Drawback???
In reality though, it will only hit 1/2 belcher slimes or taunt totems.
Dealing one damage to your minions is not exactly a drawback for warrior. It seems like an unnecessary card though as you have quite a few more reliable cards for that. Maybe you can set up battle rage then draw into this for more armor or patrons mid game.
The funny part is that the card is way better than Flame Leviathan, one mana cheaper and better stats and it's for a class that could actually benefit from the effect unlike mage with a card that hits your own face too for some weird design decision and is as bad as war golem other times. Now this won't see play either but it actually makes sense.

I guess if you plan out every turn with the potential of getting 1 damage to all your minions this is pretty cool.
