Reviews
Five-drops are a dime a dozen these days, with some decks not even wanting them. I think you're likely to find something much better to fill this slot on your , but Misty Mountains Raider could be good in a pinch. I mean, Bolg of the North is very powerful and also costs 5, and I don't think I'd want to play both.
Red's best commons (Pinecone Strike, Dori, Bearer of Friends, Gundabad Opportunist) and uncommons (Bothersome Noisemaker, Burn, Burn, Tree and Fern, Gandalf, Spark Starter, Misty Mountains Raider) fit into every single deck.
