So it’s actually pretty straight forward 5 stats for 3 mana but if it dies you get another 12 stats making it an overall value of 17 stats in the form of 2 bodies, although that may seem very highly valued at 3 mana this is also an extremely easy card to play around as the opponent. This card is a perfect example of what CPG should be making, fun strong cards with smart counter play.
Expansion Spoiler Day 10: Horror Burster

I really like the design of this card.
It’s a clear step up from the tectonicrap Magmar got in terms of design.
This will definitely remind me the akward trade to play around Sylvanas dying wish in HS

This is the second Abyssian card that is 1 mana too cheap, this time for Lilithe.
For Lilithe this is akin to a 3-mana Reaper of the Nine Moons with an even better average use case on the Dying Wish. That Horror better not be a generic 6/6. =S
Are you kidding me with this card? What the heck is going on, CPG?
Fantastic card! There’s definitely an evolution going on here, This set’s cards look really interesting so far, if not bread-and-buttery.
Super happy as well that this is a very good Dying Wish card, I’m super excited to try a viable Unseven/That other Abyssian card deck once the expansion hits.
Also, Khymera just got a lot better with the 6/6 token in the pool.

I don’t believe it will go in the pool. After all, I’ve yet to see a Khymera summon a soulburn obelysk, or a grailmaster get forcefield.
It’s not that crazy you know…
I like the card design and I can see it going into swarm type decks. However, because it has dying wish I’m not convinced it’ll be good enough to keep up with the current meta. Since its not a card you actually want to play on your 3 mana turn because you’re unlikely to have any minions alive on the board for it to transform. If you do have minions the chances are the opponent will deal with them first before pinging, using cheap removal or Skorn to kill Horror Burster. Then later into a game you don’t really want it transforming a key minion or a minion which is better then a vanilla 6/6. Which only leaves it in a small window of opportunity to play it at a good time while only transforming a small minion into a 6/6. While if you got a load of small 1/1 wraithlings out in the later stages of a game you probably don’t need Horror Buster since you’re likely to be in a winning position.
But I’ll be trying it out anyway.
That’s interesting, I remember some talk when Excelsious was revealed that Klaxon may be a corrupted version of it. Maybe it’ll be shown in the lore that Abyssian capture and corrupt soldiers from other Factions.

That Horror can’t move I think 
like Battle Pet Rok, low cost - w a big body
if that were the case It would probably be stated on the card, more then likely the Horror is simply a 6/6 token.
YES! My dying wish deck is so happy right now! I love it!
Nice inductive argument.
CP said that if they will include new abilities/tokens on a minion’s pool they will notice about it
This + bloodtear as p2t1. The horror

Confirmed a vanilla card.
Would that even work ? I thought bloodtear could only target enemies. Also, since it’s an opening gambit, will the dying wish proc before or after bloodtear is summoned?
Bloodtear can target anything but I’m not sure on the order of the effects.
I assume the minion comes into play then the opening gambit happens ( or else skorn wouldn’t hurt it self).
Bloodtear can only target enemies, I believe it was different in the past.
This is good I guess?
Anyways you could still play this card into Zyx into sacrifice for a bonkers p2t1 play
Edit: then drop reaver the next turn.
