Even 1 for this card is too much :) It costs 2 gold and require to kneel learned character to give -1 !!!!! STR until end of the phase. So much conditions to give only -1 STR even without killing when reached 0.

Yup. It's sad. I really like the art, so I would have loved playing it if it was only the slightest playable :P

Consider, that you'll need only one more -1 strenght to get it to 0, and the char will die from another effect, like an attachement (flame-kissed, bloodriders arakh) or from a dragon, maybe an event card. I think this more than great for burn decks

If you need only 1, if it dies, if you have learned character, if you can kneel him.... Do you think that it's not too many if statements for a card which at the end gives only -1 STR? I would agree with you if it will be -3 or -2 and die if 0, but please so many conditions to lower STR only by 1?

I dont think it matters if it gives -2, -4, or even -32234 strenght, if I need only one more reducation to reach 0 strenght. Look at cards like Forever burning. Anyone who plays Targ burn uses that card, and it does nothing but gives -1 strenght. If you are playing with burn you'll be using a horde of cards that work together. Do not look at this card as a stand alone card.

The thing is that Forever Burning does the same thing, without you having to kneel a character... for no gold cost. I would never play this card before Forever Burning, and I had a hard time getting FB into my deck because there were Hatchlings' Feast and Lead Link available :/
