Giant Anaconda

Giant Anaconda is an epic druid minion card, from the Journey to Un'Goro set.

Strategy
This minion has terrible stats for its cost, but its Deathrattle has the potential to pull out a much stronger minion out of the player's hand. Ideally, keeping a minion whose power lies on its raw stats like Tyrantus is the most effective way to gain value out of this card, while cards with a strong Battlecry or a high-Attack, low-cost minion like Elder Longneck can end up backfiring.

This card is best used to speed up the Jungle Giants quest. Be very cautious when playing this as the last card for the quest however, since the quest places Barnabus the Stomper in the hand, where Giant Anaconda's death could pull it out and make its Battlecry unusable.

Fixed Bugs

 * Despite the card text stating that it can only summon a minion with 5 or more Attack, this card's Deathrattle is also capable of equipping a weapon with 5 or more Attack. This is likely a bug.
 * Example: A warrior has stolen Giant Anaconda using Mind Control Tech and has a Gorehowl in hand. The opponent kills the Anaconda and the Gorehowl is equipped.

Patch changes

 * Added.
