Mojomaster Zihi

Mojomaster Zihi is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Rastakhan's Rumble set.

Strategy
Mojomaster Zihi has a unique double-edged effect of setting both players' mana to 5, which in practical cases lowers both players' mana count. This card can be used as a tech card against control and combo decks by delaying when they can play their high-cost cards or their combo pieces by several turns, as well as against druids that have ramped up their mana very quickly. Since this card will also lower your mana count, it's best to run it in non-control decks to lessen the negative effects on yourself.

It can also be used with Surrender to Madness to put both players on an even field in terms of mana count while receiving the benefits of bonus stats.

Lore
Mojomaster Zihi is unique to Hearthstone.

Trivia

 * Zihi's Battlecry was originally conceived as one of the possible designs for Kathrena Winterwisp in Kobolds & Catacombs, the other being to Recruit a Beast through a Battlecry and Deathrattle. In the end, the team liked the latter effect a little bit more as it fit better with the rest of the cards in Kobolds. However, they still liked the other version, and when they were thinking about what card text to give to Zihi for Rastakhan's Rumble they felt that it would be a good fit to use the unused Kathrena Winterwisp design.
