    STANDARD:

    - Warrior: Seems decent for control warrior, and BIG Warrior. Actually this seems more like a BIG Warrior card because they love this spells effect in order to survive early game. Control Warrior might as well use it, because that's some good stats for the cost.

    - Paladin: Pure Paladin? I dunno honestly. Most paladin decks actually WANT minions on board before turn 4, so i guess it's a "reload" at best? Still the minions have taunt to might see play against aggro decks?

    WILD:

    - Warrior: EVEN-costed, and a defensive card. So it's no good in wild. Wild Warrior decks are either ODD-Warrior, or Pirate Warrior.

    - Paladin: Won't see play in Paladin, because this is EVEN-costed. ALSO even IF it was ODD-costed it wouldn't see play in ODD-paladin, because the effect would be too hard to trigger with the "summon 2 dudes" heropower.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Agreed, may see play after rotation.  Can be discovered off the new mage/rogue legendary though.

    Idon't think this one is going to see much play. The theoretical support for the Big archetype doesn't seem to be enough. Now this rating could change if more support for that archetype emerges.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    Its basically a card for big decks. Outside of that its not anywhere near good enough. 2 damage barely kills anything, and 4 health isn't big enough to dodge most removal cards.

    So good for big decks, dead for others.

    A few years at the very least, it would seem ^^

    That's great. It's only useful for big decks or slow decks, but for them it's extremely useful!

    Better call Thrall!

    Dammit, you beat me to it. Great to compare this to Saronite Chain Gang or Phantom Militia.

    But seriously, how long CAN this go on?
