Hemet Nesingwary


 * For the tutorial boss of the same name, see Hemet Nesingwary (boss). For the Journey to Un'Goro card, see Hemet, Jungle Hunter

Hemet Nesingwary is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set.

Strategy
An ideal minion to use against the hunter class since he has a lot of Beasts.

Can be used in conjunction with Hex or Polymorph to destroy the resultant minion entirely, although this is generally a very weak use of his ability. Can similarly be used in combination with Tinkmaster Overspark to destroy almost any minion, by first transforming them into a Beast. However, this combination is generally too costly and improbable to plan for.

Hemet's poor stats for his cost and extremely limited Battlecry have resulted in him being considered by many to be one of the worst cards in the Goblins vs Gnomes set and, until the release of Majordomo Executus, usually recognised as the worst Legendary in the game.
