Hearthstone: Good cost minions, but with downsides? [closed] - Japanese Lucky Coin Cat

I'm trying to build a strong deck with minions such as Flame Imp, Arcane Golem, Leeroy etc. that have good stats for their cost, but have downsides. Write down/send links to as many as you know, from any class.

Here are some, I will be adding more in. Warlock has a lot of cards like this, but there are some neutral or other class ones also. It's hard to pick cards without a definition of downsides. Oasis Snapjaw is a low cost minion (4 mana) for 7 HP, with the downside of having only 2 Attack.

Here are some of the ones that come to mind, sans the ones that you already mentioned (Flame Imp, Arcane Golem, Leeroy Jenkins):

Zombie Chow: 1 Mana for a 2/3.
-Deathrattle: Restore 5 Health to the enemy hero.

Ancient Watcher: 2 Mana for a 4/5.
