  • Was gonna dissmiss this card entirely but then kripp said "this reminds me of [Hearthstone Card (savanna highmane) Not Found] and you know what.. I didn't saw that card for a while... so unless the demon zoo takes off this might not be played.. if played for 4 mana it's quite strong though so we have that.

  • But where does she keep them?

    That is s-imp-ly none of your business

  • Seems like a solid card. It has good stats, can be cheated out with Demonic Studies, Kenrethad, or the new Free Admission. It can hit hard, and it has a deathrattle letting it stick on the board longer. 

  • Warlock gets their very own Savanah Highmane, but with Taunt!  I feel like this could be flexible enough to run in slower Warlock decks or zoo, just because it offers a lot to both. 

  • Interesting sticky minion... I can see it go multiple ways

  • A Savannah Highmane for Warlock. The fact that it has Taunt and the tokens are larger makes it seem like it should be pretty good.

  • Great Arena card... kinda meh in constructed though

  • Maybe good in some weird demon warlock that does not care about dead minions, because of Raise Dead or Kanrethad Prime

  • It has taunt, and the minion it generates is aggressive. If you're running a midrange deck or zoo, this is amazing. Comparable to Savannah Highmane, and for that reason alone its not to be ignored.

    If you cheapen it with Demonic Studies, then this comes out turn 5, which is really scary for any class other than priest. Can't underestimate cards like these.

  • The comparison to Savannah Highmane makes it look a lot better than I initially thought. That's just not a mid/late-game taunt statline to me. I'm going to say no play in Wild, and unlikely in Standard.

  • Meh, aggressively stated taunts never seem to work out

  • Would be a nice pull from Archwitch Willow but that's about it

  • Very good for Arena - could find it's way into standard, but not sure about it.

  • Really good minion for warlock. It's a more aggresive Voidlord and a Savannah Highmane in one. Great for arena, nice to tutor with Archwitch Willow. But i don't think there really is a home for it. Zoolock wants to win before turn 6, and control warlock prefers big demons with taunt.

    Standard: This will see experimentation, but i don't think it will make the cut in any deck.

    Wild: Why run this over Voidlord? I don't see any reason for it. Also those 3/2 demons mess up your Bloodreaver Gul'dan ress pool.

  • Always strange to see a taunt minion with more health than attack. The stats check out though, in terms of value!

  • the comparisons with highmane are weird to me this is more like that tree card from witchwood since it's just two imps stacked on top of each other

  • Well balanced stats, I like it.

  • Really awkward card. Reminds me of Savannah Highmane or Eccentric Scribe. Arena card at best.

  • Could be run in demon zoo, and a natural follow-up to free admission.  But I think it still might just not be good enough.

  • Pretty solid for the cost, think it will be played in most decks

  • Mostly in the arena.

  • The issue with this is that it's not aggressive enough for Zoolock or defensive enough for slower Warlock decks. Although a great pull from Archwitch Willow, Ring Matron just doesn't offer enough inherent synergy by itself and can't be consistently discounted with Free Admission.

  • An aggressive taunt minion? And it has token deathrattles? Definitely doesn't fit the normal pattern. I don't know if this see's play.

  • Expensive to try and cram into demon zoo with Hand of Gul'dan. 

  • I like this card for warlock and I love the imp mother artwork.

  • Slightly better than Savannah Highmane for Zoo, since it's Taunt so often has to be attacked into, and creates marginally better 3/2 minions rather than 2/2s.

    Midrange demonlock needs cards like this, i love It and I want to use It that night!

  • Demon Zoo will be a thing, I'm basically betting on that as my one certainty of the expansion. Does Ring Matron make it into those lists as their final high end card? I mean... Savannah Highmane used to be the top end for Hunter, so maybe if they really need the Demons, yeah.

  • Strong card given its stats, but seems a bit too slow for zoo decks given its cost, and has too low hp for control decks. Not sure where this one fits

  • This card is probably too expensive for Zoo, and doesn't have the defensive stats that slower Warlock decks are looking for in a Taunt.

  • Lol, 5 stars for it's flavor text
