He seems like such a situational card that I would never really use it in anything other than mage and I dont play mage. Is there something I’m missing with this card?
he’s been run with success in druid decks as well. And i think even in some paladin decks (but paladin is kinda eeeeeeh right now)
in general, he is a control deck finisher.
from the Adventure he will, as an example, be really good in a control shaman deck running the legendary weapon and the 10 mana spell (alongside their other normal stff like earthquakes and etc). IF such a deck is viable, he’ll be in it.

king pharois is a good card, you don’t know what comes next.
It is not worth deleting, if it is not a golden one.

Keep. reasons:
-
King Pharois doesn’t rotate out of standard until next year, there will be at least 3 new full sets + possibly more until it rotates.
-
He is neutral, you can run him in anything that has big spells.
2b. Any new spells “printed” have potential synergy with Pharois, especially ones like the new shaman 10 mana spell.
2c. We may even see cards that have more direct synergy with Pharois like the new Shaman Claw. -
This is a card that has cracked into the meta already, so it certainly has the ability to do so again.
-
It’s pretty powerful in the right situations.

To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone
Idk seems like if I aleady used my big spells then hes just a liability and requires you to gimp your deck for him to work. Lets be honest a 10 mana 5/5 that summons a bunch of random minions can backfire too, theres a lot of bad drops.
Ahh but you misunderstand, you don’t play him on turn 10, you play him on turn 4 or 5 and summon a game winning board. Or you win by overrunning them with tigers
With prismatic lens? But thats rng. Guess it could work with the tigers.
Tigers get the win more than phaoris does. Honestly the deck works way better than I ever anticipated

I would definitely hold on to Phaoris, it looks like they are trying to develop a big spell Shaman deck with the new legendary weapon and 10 mana spell, and he’s fit in other decks too.
After rotation (next expansion) it’s very possible he could become part of a viable deck, plus I think he’s a pretty fun card that has a high potential power level, he’s won me quite a few games in my ultra greedy Rez priest deck.
