Fel Orc Soulfiend

Fel Orc Soulfiend is an epic neutral minion card, from the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan set.

Strategy
If played on curve, this minion effectively becomes a 3/5 minion when it is able to attack. Conversely, the opponent only needs to do 5 damage, and the minion will kill itself at the start of your turn. But as dealing 5 damage in the early game is not easy, playing this on curve usually trades at least 2 for 1. A good use for this card is to combo it with a Silence effect to prevent it from dealing damage to itself.

This minion's ability to deal damage to itself synergies with various Warrior cards, such as Armorsmith, Frothing Berserker and Rampage. Its high base health can allow for Priest synergies such as Inner Fire, or find a place in a Purify deck. In addition, the Priests Hero Power can also counter the self-damage of this minion.

The alternate Draenor fel orcs are simply the result of orcs drinking the blood of Mannoroth, and instead feature gray and black skin and mutations.
