Strategy

Like Harvest Golem this is a "sticky" minion that retains some field presence after it dies. Can be fairly strong in a Beast, combo, or token druid deck.

It can be considered a more aggressive version of Harvest Golem, being a 3/2 instead of a 2/3. Its main problem is the unpredictability of the minion it summons with its Deathrattle, which can be any collectible 1-cost minion from any class. In the best case, you can get an Injured Kvaldir at full health, or a Flame Imp without receiving damage to your hero. In the worst case, you can get an undercosted 1/1 that is nearly useless without its Battlecry or in-hand effect, such as Elven Archer, Forbidden Ancient, or Shifter Zerus.
