Rotten Applebaum — Neutral Card
Table of Contents
Rotten Applebaum is a neutral minion. This card was introduced with The Witchwood and can now only be obtained through crafting. Below the card images, you will find explanations to help you use the card optimally in every game mode of Hearthstone.
General Comments
Rotten Applebaum is an excellent defensive minion for slower decks. The Taunt and Deathrattle effects make it very effective at slowing down aggressive opponents. As it is also a Deathrattle minion, it is also open to many potential Deathrattle synergies.
Constructed Play
In Constructed, Rotten Applebaum is a reasonable card for any Control deck. The combined Taunt and Healing effects can help provide the stall long enough to be able to stabilise against aggressive opponents.
Arena
In Arena, Rotten Applebaum is a below-average card. The healing effect offers little value in the Arena meta-game and a 4/5 Taunt minion is subpar for a 5 Mana minion.
