Really, why doesn't this have the stats of Haunted Pumpking (4/2 1-drop), while having a persistent drawback, unlike Pumpking's which only triggers once?

Seriously though, this is why I think that Pumpking is better. Its downside is way more helpful, as it can mill the opponent when their conjured card is useless for their strategy or too expensive to invest on, and thus reduce their chances of blocking at times, while this Pea here just wastes up your block meter and your chances of blocking possible tank damage earlier, in exchange for just the Pea tribe, and wow is this Super-Rare. There's better Super-Rares out there than this is. Even for charging up block meters, friendly fire ain't the best option, in fact, it's one of the worst, as it can put you in great health disadvantage at the end. Just use Mars Flytrap in an empty lane and then you can slowly (slower though) charge up your block meter while keeping you unharmed.

Now if this was a 4/2 1-drop, I would possibly use it. While having a downside to balance it, it would be a great card to land safe tank damage in the opponent in the early game. In short terms, a Mega-Grow Pea Pumpking, which would come really in handy.
