Dragonmaw Scorcher

Dragonmaw Scorcher is a common neutral minion card, from the Rastakhan's Rumble set.

Strategy
Dragonmaw Scorcher can be used to deal a small bit of AoE to clear the board of small threats, such as the many Silver Hand Recruits an Odd Paladin can summon.

It is also useful as a Dragon synergy activator. It's particularly useful in Dragon Warrior decks since it can be used to activate on-damaged effects and effects that require damaged minions like Devastate and Smolderthorn Lancer.
