Thunder Lizard

Thunder Lizard is a common neutral minion card, from the Journey to Un'Goro set.

Strategy
Thunder Lizard is a great minion for its cost as long as its Battlecry is triggered. It is potentially superior to many three drops, such as Scarlet Crusader (Crackling Shield), Ice Rager (Flaming Claws), Thrallmar Farseer and Dragonhawk Rider (Lightning Speed), Spider Tank (Volcanic Might), Emperor Cobra (Poison Spit), and so on. It also has versatility, in that you get to choose what effect is needed most. Doing this does require an Elemental deck though, and since this isn't an Elemental itself, it may slow down other cards like Tol'vir Stoneshaper.

Since Thunder Lizard is a Beast, it can be a useful addition for Hunter and Druid decks with both beast and elemental synergy.
