Tier 4
An alignment-independent card that clears all tokens, most 0-cost champions (Little Devil), most unblockable champions (Knight of Shadows/Temporal Enforcer), deals 4 damage to the opponent, and is a champion so a body persists that can be returned to hand to do it all again. You really can’t ask for much more from a card in Dark Draft, and I would absolutely take this over Scarros in all but the most super-duper Wild highroll decks. (Which reminds me, I added this line to my && explanation: “This happens incredibly infrequently and shouldn’t be relied on almost ever”)
This is also a perfectly solid card in Constructed; although, you would only want it if tokens/0-cost champions (particularly demons) are popular in the meta and/or you have a very specific role for it (and you have 1-cost slots available). If neither of those things are true, it’s too small and doesn’t do nearly enough by itself to be valuable. I used it in my 51 Sage AoE bounce deck (along with Javelin Thrower and Surprise Attack) to clear out any opposing 0-cost champions my bounce couldn’t deal with, and it worked great. Time Walkering this back to hand was pretty nice too (unfortunately that deck was too slow to outrace either Burn or Kark going in opposite directions).
