Bloodsail Howler

Bloodsail Howler is a rare rogue minion card, from the Rastakhan's Rumble set.

Strategy
This card is similar in effect and stats to Biteweed from Journey to Un'Goro, but with rush and the restriction of needing the buff-cards to be pirates. Although Pirate Rogue decks may have appreciated this card in previous expansions, the rogue legendaries in Rastakhan's Rumble and this card are uncooperative.

Gral, the Shark needs to eat larger minions in order to be worth it's 5-mana cost. Captain Hooktusk's battlecry could recruit Bloodsail Howler, who already has rush, is at a 1-1 without it's own battlecry, and takes the place of other, more useful pirates like Southsea Captain and Ticket Scalper. The only time this minion would truly shine is if you used Captain Hooktust, then summoned Bloodsail Howler from your hand, but this is typically unreliable. Overall, this is a very weak minion that should not be considered.
