i dont ****ing get it. the only upside is its a bigger body for a small body sacrifice in case your board is full
I'm far from a pro, but a 5/4 on turn 3 seems pretty strong. And this deck ****s out minions unlike any I've seen, so it's not like your silver hand is going to be missed. You just reload the next turn and have a buff like level up or fungal ready to capitalize.
It's one thing if by killing the Drake slayer you just leave the 5/4 alone on the board, in which case one might prefer to have a 4/3 and 1/1 on the board. Usually you have a straggler righteous protector, Argent squire, or recruit on the border as well. So why not have a 5/4 along side it?
