Majestic. Ethereal. Still pretty down in the dumps, though.

How to get[edit | edit source]
Gloom Stag can be obtained through crafting only.
| Card | Crafting cost | Disenchanting |
|---|---|---|
| Gloom Stag | 400 | 100 |
| Golden Gloom Stag | 1600 | 400 |
Strategy[edit | edit source]
Gloom Stag can become a very powerful 4/8 Taunt minion for 5 mana, outstripping cards such as Nesting Roc and Fen Creeper for stats for a much harder limiting factor.
As an alternative, this can be run in a deck with Master Oakheart as one of the few useful 2-Attack minions available to Druid on board, and to thin your deck a bit more. Although it will lose the buff, you could also consider running this in a Taunt Druid deck using cards such as Witching Hour to resummon it, as the Taunt is not part of the conditional battlecry. In Wild, you can also play synergistic cards such as Druid of the Fang, Virmen Sensei and Knight of the Wild.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- At the onset of the Year of the Dragon, Gloom Stag joined Baku the Mooneater, Genn Greymane, Black Cat, Glitter Moth, and Murkspark Eel as the first non-Classic cards to rotate into the Hall of Fame.
