Hooked Reaver

Hooked Reaver is a rare warlock minion card, from the Kobolds and Catacombs set.

Strategy
Without its Battlecry, this is a below average minion, but gets well over its cost in value when it does activate, turning into a 7/7 with Taunt. Its effect is very hard to activate on curve, and will often require self-damage to reach its threshold quickly. This incentivizes running self-damaging cards like Vulgar Homunculus and Spirit Bomb to support it.

Note that the Battlecry will always activate if you are transformed into Lord Jaraxxus.

As a downside, it won't have its good stats when it's revived or brought into the battlefield without activating its Battlecry, such as Possessed Lackey and Skull of the Man'ari.
