Strategy
Cairne Bloodhoof is a solid body. Not only is he a 5/5, which is fairly hard to kill in most cases, he also makes another 5/5 - Baine Bloodhoof - when he dies. This essentially means two 5/5 minions for just 6 mana. Cairne is one of the best cards to have in a beatdown-type deck, as well as decks running Barnes or N'Zoth, the Corruptor.

Cairne's main weakness is to effects such as silence, transform and mind control effects, which can negate his Deathrattle or even turn its power to the opponent's advantage. His Deathrattle makes him strong against regular attacks or removal effects.
