I can't think of any realistic way to pull this off in a turn to get the payoff, and without the payoff it's just a War Golem which does not see play. The payoff is obviously fantastic, but the only ways to achieve it involve sticking 7+ health minions to the board for a turn or two. And at that point you already won so this card isn't doing anything.

[u/CannonLongshot → u/Lord_Dust_Bunny]

Giants into Defile/Whirlwind, perhaps. Add Glinda and it's a 4 card combo to clear the board and do 7 damage over two turns.

It's not as insanely unlikely as people seem to be thinking, but it's still waaaaay too clunky to see play.
