Black Cat

Black Cat is a common mage minion card, from The Witchwood set. It was once in the Hall of Fame set from April 9, 2019 to March 30, 2021.

Strategy
Without its bonus effect, this card is equivalent to Soot Spewer but with the Beast tag, which is generally not playable in Constructed. Bloodmage Thalnos provides roughly the same effect for 1 less mana.

With the Battlecry, this card works as a cheaper Azure Drake, a staple in many old Mage decks. Its versatility keeps it a good option for Baku the Mooneater decks.

Lore

 * The Witchwood's growing influence drives even the redoubtable citizens of to fearful flights of fancy. Uneasy townsfolk share bizarre stories of black cats with knowing eyes, and giant moths that peer into windows during the dead of night. Stranger still, they all seem to share the same horrid dream, night after night: a feeling of unspeakable dread as they watch huge, spectral fangs devour the moon.

Trivia

 * At the onset of the Year of the Dragon, Black Cat joined Baku the Mooneater, Genn Greymane, Glitter Moth, Gloom Stag, and Murkspark Eel as the first non-Classic cards to rotate into the Hall of Fame.
