Animated Broomstick

Animated Broomstick is a common neutral minion card, from the Scholomance Academy set.

Strategy
In aggressive decks, one typically would not use a card that gives your other minions rush, as you typically want plenty of Rush minions on the board already. The Animated Broomstick is a card that is best in decks that have larger and slower minions. Battlecries like Archwitch Willow, Galakrond, the Wretched, or Steeldancer, and spells that can summon large minions from your deck like Commencement can all enjoy giving the new minions immediate impact on the board.

Trivia

 * The flavor text for this card seems to be a reference to the broomsticks used by Quidditch players in the Harry Potter series of books - more specifically, given the cloud-themed naming, the Nimbus-type brooms (the Nimbus 2000 received by Harry in the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, being the most famous example).
