Rock Rager

Rock Rager is a common neutral minion card, from the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire set.

Strategy
A fairly poor Taunt minion, especially for early in the game. High health is usually much more valuable than high attack, and the low curve of this card makes it likely for 1/1 minions to be around to clear it. Rock Rager is better off played later in the game facing higher-health minions, but even then is fairly poor compared to Strongman and Anubisath Defender as a cheap Taunt. It's also especially useless against Demon Hunter, Druid, Mage, and Rogue.

Trivia

 * Rock Rager is the 8th minion (9th if counting Wax Rager) in the long-running line of Rager minions added to Hearthstone, most of which are a power creep of the Original Magma Rager, while still remaining low in power level compared to other minions. Rock Rager's Taunt ability arguably stops it being a direct power creep of Magma Rager.
