Strategy
This card fits well in aggro decksℂ⋘₀ₔespecially ones that run with multiple minions that have enrage. Its battle cry can also be used to kill an enemy minion that has only one health remaining or to set up a kill combo on a minion with low health (Taskmaster then Whirlwind, for example).
While this card`s battle cry gives it utility that can be helpful in a wide variety of situations, it best excels at establishing early game dominance in fast, aggressive decks. This card can dramatically swing the advantage in the Warrior`s favor if used in combination with minions that have enrage abilities, such as the Amani Berserker or the Raging Worgen. It can also be used to trigger other effects, such as the Frothing Berserker`s ability that causes it to gain attack power whenever a minion is damaged. It is important to note that this battle cry can be used on any minion on the board, and because of this, it can be used to either kill enemies with only one health remaining, or to set up kill combos on creatures with low health (Taskmaster`s battle cry, then Slam, for instance). However, because of the extra attack power granted, one must be certain that they can secure a kill within the turn that it is used in order to avoid giving the opponent an advantage.

This minion`s battlecry can also be used to target enemy minions. This is ideally used to destroy low health minions, since the Attack bonus will also be granted to the enemy target, making it generally unwise to leave the minion alive to return the favour the next round. While this wastes the Taskmaster`s potential for increasing damage output, it can be a very useful removal option, adding to this minion`s versatility.
