Amani Berserker

Amani Berserker is a common neutral minion card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Classic set.

Strategy
Amani Berserker is a standard 2 mana minion, with an additional enrage effect. This can easily turn the Berserker into a wrecking crew during the early game, and may make him enough of a threat to warrant hasty use of the opponent's removal.

However, to be of use a point of damage is required. If no opponent is available to injure itself upon, the Berserker remains a lacklustre 2/3. Ideally, use it to remove a 1/1 or a 1/2, before turning its enraged attentions to the enemy hero, or a more substantial minion opponent. Alternatively, the Berserker's ability can be easily triggered by a controlling mages' Fireblast, which can be useful strategically, but this will of course weaken the Berserker.

Other typical friendly enrage triggers such as Whirlwind and Inner Rage also work well. For example, Cruel Taskmaster's Battlecry can be used to deal 1 damage to the Amani Berserker, which will give it +2 attack as well as causing it to become Enraged for +3 attack. The Amani Berserker ends up being a 7/2 for 2 mana.
