Strategy[]
Runic Egg, for a 1-mana card, is near useless when played on its own, as the opponent will simply ignore it. However, granting it Taunt or +Attack through cards such as Abusive Sergeant or
Defender of Argus can allow it to be used to trade with enemy minions, triggering its Deathrattle. It also works well with
Power Overwhelming and
Battle Rage (providing extra card draw through cards like
Whirlwind and
Ravaging Ghoul), and at times can serve as a deterrent to AoE board clears. However, its dependency on such effects and lack of stats and abilities mean Runic Egg is generally considered a very poor card.
This card has more use in a Grimy Goons-themed hand-buffing deck, particularly with Paladins. Combined with cards like Smuggler's Run and
Grimestreet Outfitter, it turns into a sturdy one-drop with card draw, and as a 1-Mana minion, it can be drawn from
Small-Time Recruits.
This card can be used with Spiritsinger Umbra, and maybe even
Baron Rivendare or
Necromechanic. An alternate use is with cards that tinker with your Deathrattle minions, such as
Reckless Experimenter,
Anka, the Buried, and
Shadowy Figure. Cheaper, one-time activators are another way to implement this - use things like
Necrium Blade,
Nine Lives, or
Necrium Vial,
