Template:Malfurion the Pestilent strategy
While Malfurion the Pestilent doesn't have the same radical game-changing effects that some other Hero cards have, he is nonetheless well worth his 7 Mana cost. In addition to providing 5 Armor, Malfurion gives the option of summoning either two 1/2 minions with Poisonous or two 1/5 minions with Taunt. Depending on the situation, either option is viable.
Malfurion's new Hero Power gives him more flexibility; rather than giving him 1 armor and 1 attack, he can choose between 3 armor or 3 attack. This can help you reliably clear out medium-size minions, or can allow you to bulk up and survive long enough to take control of the board.
With 
Fandral Staghelm on the board, Malfurion the Pestilent becomes vastly more powerful. His Battlecry will now summon four minions instead of just two, and his hero power will give him +3 armor and +3 attack, becoming a radically stronger version of 
Shapeshift.
The minions summoned by Malfurion's effect are Beasts, meaning they have synergy with other Druid cards such as Mark of Y'Shaarj and 
Menagerie Warden.
