Lost Tallstrider

Lost Tallstrider is a common neutral minion card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set.

Strategy
A stat swap of Chillwind Yeti, the Tallstrider is vulnerable to Flamestrike, Soulfire, Bomb Lobber and other 4-damage nukes that the Yeti, and common minions like Sludge Belcher, can survive. It instead serves to kill those minions.

In a hunter deck, Call Pet can reduce its mana cost to 0, and it is especially strong with Tundra Rhino. Its Attack is high enough that most beast buffs are redundant.

If you don't need a Beast, Evil Heckler offers the same stats with Taunt.
