We've got more Darkmoon Faire Mini Set card reveals to share and this time they are for everyone (Neutral!) and a dual-class Warrior/Paladin card.
Card reveals are happening every hour today! Stay tuned to the homepage so you don't miss out!
Armor Vendor - Neutral Rare Minion
Quote From Sinti The oh-so-loved 1-1-3 statline continues! This one seems to be aimed for Control decks rather than fast ones though, you get something to play on turn 1 and you get 4 Armor cushion. The fact your opponent also gets 4 Armor is pretty much irrelevant in that scenario. Can't see this being played in any fast deck even with those stats, you do not want to give your opponent 4 more points of Armor you will have to go through. Feels like the anti-aggro card everyone was hoping for maybe?
Barricade - Warrior & Paladin Common Spell
Quote From Aesan Dual Class representation continues with this spell, this time for both Warrior and Paladin. On a technical level, it is a great fit for a Mini Set: you've got two classes able to play around with something new instead of just one, which matters when there are not that many new cards in the first place.
When it comes to this particular effect, however, it fails to impress at a first glance. A single 2/4 taunt for 4 mana is obviously awful, and in order to meet the condition for two of them, you cannot have anything else active on the board (which is usually not where you want to be by this point in the game). There are a lot of stronger cards at this cost: to mention favorites such as Sword Eater or Bone Wraith.
That said, there are decks like Big Warrior or the lesser-known Big Paladin (Duel! fans, rejoice!) that will appreciate the fact this is not a minion messing up their big curve and payoffs. It plays along well with Commencement, stalling for your survival in earlier turns. Archmage Vargoth is always there as well, up for some hijinks. Alas, High Abbess Alura may not give you her blessing in this form. For now, let's call it fairly underwhelming.

Eternium rover is better and I doubt theyd want to run more than 2 of those, let alone the fact its already getting cut for sword and board in some cases or more impactful control tools
Thats why i said possibly,wont be auto include, but if feel want/need the earlt game minions or just max armor posisblities(maybe in pocket meta or a tourney or such) it can be run. and it does have some syenrgy with brann if need the armor (not thatd youd un it for that alone but its a combo could sometimes pull off wiht 2 cards you run otuside combo anyway) and it gives armor imeadty vs rover being deayed and it could be kileld/destoryed without giivng armor(a spell for example) or only give 2 armor,while this always gives 4.
I think Zoolock would only use it in a very aggro-heavy meta, where Zoolock is sometimes the less aggressive deck. But in such a meta slower decks would include Armor Vendor as well, which would decrease the chances of Zoolock against those decks, since they'd have more time to find their AoE.
I can totally see it as an anti aggro tech card.
