Don't really like the Trogg. Your opponent can mitigate the effects just as easily as doing so with an Enrage creature. Altho if Miracle makes a come back and Shaman start playing Miracle, people will add a Trogg into their deck. Altho then people will add x1 Assassinate or Hex and Trogg will be removed. So yeah it all becomes moot. I do like the concept tho, I just can't see anyone choosing something like the Trogg over a Senjin. It'll be great in arena though.

Taunt is overrated. Fucking with spell-use is worth more than Taunt. This guy will force out more premium removal, or force your opponent to make more bad decisions, than a Senjin would. It's going to work like secrets, where players will want to play around the affect or are going to use a premium removal.

Premium removal? What is premium removal used on? A dagger attack + an Eviscerate kills this, without any harm. A frostbolt + 2 Firebolts kill this, without having to deal with any threat. Equality, Swipe + Shapeshift, etc. the list goes on. This creature may as well just be a Senjin without taunt, and nothing more, because the effect is so easily avoidable. It's super niche, and like Gavinmad said, you must not play very much HS if you think taunt is overrated.

If you don't think eliminating an evis/equality/swipe/frostbolt are worth, than I don't know what to tell you.

Personally I won't put 2 of him in a deck, but I am going to put 1.

And yea, taunt is very overrated. You mainly need 2x belcher and maybe 1 or 2 other taunts max. Belcher is played on 5, Ill gladly play this guy on 4 before my belcher.

It has psuedo-taunt because you probably don't want to play around it for too long. Plus all the answers Morrow listed are horrible tempo plays, so it might fit into a tempo deck (although yeti or violet enchanter might be straight up better).

It's basically just a weaker Yeti. Aggro decks will trade favorably if they can and ignore it if they cant. Control decks might take slightly more damage killing it than they would killing a Yeti, but probably not. It's probably better than Sen'jin against miracle, but that's basically it, and it's not exactly like miracle is a huge presence on the ladder anymore.

Interesting tidbit on the ogres:

Ogres don't care about what they hit as long as they hit "something," so their ability can also potentially bypass Taunt and Stealth if one of their wild swings manages to connect.

Do you guys find that Hunter is a deck you have to counter in order to beat? I don't feel like I can just put together deck X that does well against the majority of the game without getting crushed by Hunters.

Ok those ogres are fucking hilarious. I don't care how bad they end up being, there is no way I don't put Ogre Ninja in my rogue decks

Those are hysterical. Ogre Ninja, rofl.

Dunemaul Shaman is actually a very dangerous card, albeit a trifle fragile at only 4 health. If I can clear the board before my attack, you're taking an assload of face damage.

And yeah, the fact that they can't hit you in the face makes them borderline playable, unlike that stupid weapon.

I like this card concept. looks like every class will have an Ogre. Should be fun. Nice way to try and get around taunts.
