i friended you.
hopefully after that renounce card (which i still can't believe is real), hopefully one of the gods is all RNG based.

yay ! gotcha
wonder if one god will be inspire/joust based, lol, feed that god the hate.
I swear every time I look at it, its worse. Its clearly the work of the old gods I tell you. I initially read it as a 2 mana 2/3. Then a 3 mana 2/3. Now, I checked on more time, and it is a 3 mana 2/2.
I can't see that card being put into decks. Competitive Spirit is already a mediocre card, and this is that tied to a body that isn't worth 2 mana.
Edit: New Card:
Monstrosity, 8 mana 6/7 Neutral Legendary. Card Text: "If this minion kills another mininon, gain +2/+2"
Seems pretty underwhelming. Like, why not play Grull instead? Unless your big plan is to play this, taunt it up, and hope it can't be silenced or removed by spells.

Monstrosity would be fine if it wasn't overcosted by like 2 mana.
As is though...meh.

In the 1/1000 chance I get the chance to pick this card in Arena, I will.
Assuming you get it in arena it means you turned down 2 other (likely better) legendaries.
Warlock card would be fun for shits and giggles for renolock.

Pretty ok anti-aggro card I suppose if you could get taunt on it. But if you could play something for 8 mana against aggro and taunt it...you are not going to need this guy.
One of those "if it drops from...whatever makes legendaries going forward" it'll be cool.

This seems like a worse version of a legendary in the same set. Corrupted Hogger is a 7 mana 6/6 that hides at least 2/2 extra stats. You can activate it on the same turn you play it and you don't need to kill minions to get its' effect. It has a similar gimmick about being impossible to remove with a ton of garbage minions trading up, except... better. I don't get this.

Monstrosity's English name is The Boogeymonster (according to blue post on Reddit)
Card is straight garbage

I guess it's okay as anti-weenie tech. You can't throw a bunch of 1/1 imps into this to kill it, it'll have grown from the fight.

so taunt?
I mean, it's called Taunt.
And your opponent would still get to pick what hits first, so...?

The card text should read:
"Kill one creature, and then die to BGH".
"Kill one creature, and then die to BGH".
I was thinking more of on your turn. You play the spell, enemy minions in a random order get flung into you minion, until ether all the enemies die, or your minion dies. Basically a gimpy brawl.
Hey, you'd be happier to see this than...
[flips through]
wait no yeah this is actually the worst card you could roll for 8 mana by far
I don't think there are that many better legendaries in arena than this card (well,mostly because most of the them suck in arena,but whatever).
Kvaldir Raider can be crazy if it stays alive for a turn or 2.
Monstrosity is basically that. but is also harder to remove.
They might. They could always knock off a stat point or two.
I mean, I don't think it's absolutely awful in Arena, but I don't see how it's very good at all.
Because for one, Kvaldir isn't similar to this card. Kvaldir's snowball is a 2 mana tax per turn (plus whatever hero power effect) for +2/+2. You can trade it or not trade it into whatever and if it's an active hero power, it might synergize for board control a bit. And it keeps getting bigger per turn. It costs less to play and played with a hero power, it costs one less mana for one less stat. The whole idea of this card assumes that your opponent's board is packed with trash minions and this card is bad against that too since they'll just ignore it and you need to keep trading one for one per turn, unless you taunt it up. And you probably already lost because you spent 8 mana doing what amounts to nothing and your opponent has the whole board.
Again, you'd rather play Hogger than this. At least when it's hit by a Fireball, you still have the lone 2/2 with taunt to stick around. This just seems way too slow, even for Arena.
edit: I actually convinced myself this card is straight up trash in either format.

It needs to just not kill things automatically. Terrible design.
I think if BGH set 7+ attack minion HP to 1, that'd be an okay compromise. You'd either need to have something on the board to actually remove it or use your hero power which loses tempo. If they leave it up they can still stick around for a turn or get the effect silenced/buffed off.
I actually don't think so. If you can kill Kvaldir Raider as a 6/6 it's not as much threat.

This is probably one of the first cards in the set that just seems straight up bad without even an especially interesting design.
I think there are two factors here:
1.) They didn't talk about the idea of nerfing BGH until quite recently, so I think they may have designed a lot of the set around the card before deciding to do something about it.
2.) They might nerf it by doing something like "Battlecry: Deal 5 damage to a minion with 7+ attack.", which makes it much less devastating, but still worth designing around for some cards.

The second thing I want from this set is Felhunter.
