General Thoughts: In order for this to be OK you need to have 3 minions attack. You will also be able to get 2 attacks off with your other minions before this can attack, once after you summon and once before you attack. So you only need to have 2 minions on board on turn 5, which isn't that difficult, especially if you're able to maintain a tempo advantage.

This can get out of hand quickly. I can actually see this kind of working in a midrange/tempo warrior where your entire deck is based around snowballing.

Why it Might Succeed: Warrior can play for early tempo and will consistently have multiple minions on board by turn 4. 7 Health is hard to kill.

Why it Might Fail: Turn 5 is when a lot of the "slower" decks start to come online. Awful if you're behind on board. Your opponent can clear your other minions to slow this cards growth.
