Doctor Krastinov

Doctor Krastinov is a legendary rogue/warrior minion card, from the Scholomance Academy set.

Strategy
Doctor Krastinov is awfully similar to Captain Greenskin, essentially trading 1 Attack and the Pirate tag for Rush. Like Greenskin, he fills in the same role of giving your weapon buffs, but providing board presence with Rush, making him an easier minion to play in most cases, not to mention he could possibly buff you weapon again if your opponent can't remove him immediately. He's particularly more useful for Rogues since they lack ways to increase the Durability of their weapons, which weapons like Self-Sharpening Sword greatly benefit from.

Lore
In World of Warcraft, is a rare elite level 91 undead human found in  of.

 * ''"The undead surrounded us, constantly tormenting us with horrifying acts of depravity. Finally, he came. He introduced himself as Doctor Theolen Krastinov. We came to know him as the butcher...We finally understood what the screams were from. The Butcher exposed us to pain that we did not know existed. He used us in countless experiments to devise a plague. The days turned to weeks. We would have died on that first day had it not been for that cruel bastard keeping us alive through magical means....We feel nothing. Our souls remain here, in limbo. We are unable to leave until our remains are found and spirits laid to rest."
