Hearthpwn

Missed the mark entirely on the flavor text. I get what they were going for, but in an xpac FULL of musical references and themes... I mean, come on. 

Won't you fly high, free bird?

Good in snapdragon buff hunter with selective breader, party animal and the new quilboars.

Seems like rogue or buffadin will like this

Master has given Dodo sock, Dodo is free!

Seems really bad. Are you really going to build a deck around a card with possibly the worst stats in Hearthstone history? Charge yes but there are surely better ways to kill an opponent from hand.

The biggest difference between this, and previous stat-incrementing minions like Jade Golem's or Pogo-Hopper is the addition of the Charge keyword.
It fits with modern hearthstones design. Modern hearthstone tends to lean more towards allowing a player at high mana to be able to play expensive cards that win the game on their own, i.e. Sire Denathrius. If you have payed the mana for four or five copies of these being able to hit your opponent for lethal from hand seems in line with current power creep.

However..
I think the fact that it's just a minion with the words 'charge' at 4 mana will make it viable on it's own. If you look in the previous year of hearthstone you saw control Paladin running Mr. Smite as it's win con even without any other pirate synergies, simply because they could reliably give it tons of attack while it sat in the hand.
4 Mana is also low enough that you can play other synergy cards with it. Blizzard has been pushing handbuff a lot - this card might see play in that handbuff shell for similar reasons as to why Mr Smite saw play.

AND beast tag. 

I love GTA San Andreas
