Emeriss

Emeriss is a legendary hunter minion card, from the The Witchwood set.

Strategy
Emeriss has very good synergy with Charge minions such as Leeroy Jenkins and King Krush. Leeroy being able to deal 12 damage or King Krush being able to deal 16 damage to enemy hero is devastating. While not as potent, Rush minions can also benefit from the power-up, letting even lower-cost minions clear larger threats off the board. Taunt minions are also good choices; for example, Witchwood Grizzly can be buffed to a mighty 6/24 for 5 Mana (its Health-reducting Battlecry will only take effect after its Health has been increased, meaning that even at worst it will be reduced to 6/12, which is still impressive for 5 Mana).

Emeriss works well with high cost cards making them very powerful with their cost. For example Savannah Highmane being 6 mana 12/10 which becomes overvalued.

Cards that add copies to hand or deck such as Augmented Elekk can be very powerful, allowing you to use Emeriss' effect multiple times.
