In both Hearthstone and in the animal kingdom at large, the answer has long been a resounding “no.” But now the answer is: maybe. As such, it is in decks that can advance their primary goal by having cheap minions that Hungry Crab looks the most appealing, like Aggro Druid, or cares about the Beast tag, like this Hunter deck which runs the full complement of four crabs, and recently broke into the top 100.

I was just watching Kripps video about the tavern brawl and I noticed that the starving buzzard triggered once to draw a card, then triggered again after the hungry crab's battle cry animation triggered. However, in situations where you drew badly or your buffing murlocs have been removed, a 3/4 Hungry Crab can provide decent staying power. And because of this, it does not gets murloc buffs like Grimscale Oracle or Murloc Warleader. This guy made bigger comeback than Manchester United against Bayern Munich in 1999 CL Final...

I finally used this against a Murloc Shaman, I only run this because it's classified as a beast if you were wondering. Even if there are no Murlocs to eat, it has some beast synergy, which can enable some solid early-game (or even late-game) combos.

Out of frustration, you go into your collection, open up your deck, and jam in a couple of Golakka Crawlers to teach those Warriors a well-deserved lesson. Hungry Crab’s main problem has always been malnutrition: since Murloc decks have historically been too weak to appear often in competitive play, Hungry Crab has long been considered useless.
