Well if the slime doesn't have taunt then this conversation is over. ..it's terrible. But I'll disagree it would be bad if it did have taunt. Belcher loses to most other 5 drops so saying this card loses to yeti isn't a fair assessment. It's the stickiness and annoyance of 2 taunts that are so powerful. Also a 2atk slime would have been a nice little upside compared to the Belcher slimeCorrupted Tauren is shit even if the slime has taunt too. Belcher mainly worked because there isn't actually a lot of competition in the 5 drop slot. You've got healbot, azure drake, harrison, loatheb, spectral knight, and belcher. Also the power curve falls off pretty hard between 4 and 5, so dropping a 3/5 body on turn 5 isn't that far behind the curve compared to dropping a 2/3 on turn 4. Tauren doesn't even hold up against existing neutral 4 drops (Yeti, Dark Iron, Argus, Heckler, Sen'jin), much less any further 4 drops we might see in Whispers.

It would still be garbage even if the slime had taunt. Unless the deathrattle gives me a fucking blowjob, I'm not running a 2/3 minion that costs 4 mana.Well if the slime doesn't have taunt then this conversation is over. ..it's terrible.

Yet youve run a 3/3 for 5 manaIt would still be garbage even if the slime had taunt. Unless the deathrattle gives me a fucking blowjob, I'm not running a 2/3 minion that costs 4 mana.
