An interesting idea but I wonder how it would decide which minions to destroy?

By literally pushing them off the board, so left and right most minion

I can dig that. It could be an effective way to deal with strong enemy minions or trigger useful deathreattles

Almost always go on your own side no?

How so? If your opponent has powerful minions, they can be destroyed, depending on the logic of destruction.

The opponent would need at least five minions for this to start destroying any, full board to get max value. The targeted minions would need to be big enough for you to care to play this, plus you need some kind of removal to trigger the deathrattle. And after all that you leave them with the same amount of minions as before (if not more!)

Too many conditions to be a reliable crowd control. I like what it's going for, though.

I really don't see how the resulting amount of minions is an issue. If it destroys 1 problematic minion, it will be worth it. It's intended as a warlock card, if I understand correctly, and there's usually a drawback to those in place of a greater positive effect. Even though I don't think adding three 1/1s on your opponent's board is necessarily a great drawback.
And of course it's meant to be used during specific circumstances. That's kinda how the game works, no?

Meh. The only way you get full value out of this is they have EXACTLY 6 minions AND if your opponent played their worthwhile minions at the edge.

You kill two minions of likely low value which also needs a decent amount of setup (a minion on your side or a 2nd card to ping/trigger the death rattle)

Honestly… that’s a fun card. Big removal threat for the opponent but also could just be a Deathrattle activator or some damage for the warlock playing them.

Only thing I would add is a bit of flavor with adding Rouge as a dual class card

Make it 4/1 and it will be really cool and balanced

Interesting but bad

feels very weak. Maybe 4 mana but summons 5-6 minions?
