Bolf Ramshield

Bolf Ramshield is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Grand Tournament set.

Bugs

 * When Lifesteal from a minion triggers while Auchenai Soulpriest or Embrace the Shadow is in effect with Bolf Ramshield in play, it creates a loop where Bolf Ramshield absorbs the damage of reverse-Lifesteal while the Lifesteal minion constantly activates its effect until it heals or deals damage to the owner, stopping at 61 triggers.

Strategy
This minion's ability can be used as a modified Taunt that only prevents taking damage from the attacks against your hero. Normal Taunt minions can be bypassed by using direct damage, such as Nightblade, Fireball, or Steady Shot, but Bolf Ramshield will redirect this damage towards himself, if the hero is targeted. However, Bolf is less useful than Taunt against enemy minions as he cannot protect your other minions and can also be "traded" into without dealing retaliatory damage if enemy minions target your face.

This minion can also prevent your hero from being Frozen through damaging effects from minions such as Snowchugger and Water Elemental, useful if your deck relies on weapons to help you win the game.

Lore
Bolf is an original Hearthstone character. He was formerly an aspirant, but has been promoted recently.

Patch changes
Unknown patch (between Patch 7.0.0.15590 and Patch 8.4.0.20022): The source of the Damage Event created by Bolf Ramshield is still the original Damage Event's source. Previously, Bolf Ramshield was considered the source of the damage dealt to himself, which led to the following interactions:
 * Any effects triggering from the attacking character dealing damage, such as Snowchugger and Queen of Pain, did not take effect if Bolf Ramshield intercepted the damage.
 * A Stealthed Bolf Ramshield lost Stealth after intercepting damage.
 * If a Stealthed Wrathguard took damage and triggered to damage the controlling hero, but Bolf Ramshield intercepted the damage, the Wrathguard did not lose Stealth, because it was not a source of damage.

Added.
