Decent card with great synergy with frenzy activation. Should be fun!
Brings 2 minions back and trigger their frenzy. Then deal damage to your opponent's board.
There's simply so much this card does that its not possible for this to sit on the sidelines. Will probably find a place in most warrior decks, assuming there's better frenzy minions down the line.
Razormane Raider or Barrens Blacksmith seem like the best resurrect targets for this. Need some better Frenzy targets.
Overall I like this card. Bring back and trigger Frenzy cards is a cool effect.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
Saurfang finally found his way to Hearthstone! Really cool.
And I never thought I'd see the resurrect mechanic in Warrior. We haven't seen that many Frenzy cards yet so it's hard to gauge the power level of this card, but I guess it instantly activates those frenzy effects since its deal 1 damage to all other minions. This will be a nice tool for Warriors, but it's totally dependent on the power level of Frenzy cards we'll see since it's probably just going to be an expansion-specific keyword.
Resurrect Warrior: Blacksmith and Razormane.
Samuro if you need to clear the board further.
If you build your deck right this will make for a remarkably consistent and powerful swing. It's starting to feel like "whoever draws their power card first" will continue to be a thing in Hearthstone.
It's already decent with the frenzy cards that have been revealed so far, but if we get anything stronger this card is gonna be sick.
Plus with the mini-set this could get even better.
Pretty fking powerful Frenzy synergy, now there just needs to be a Frenzy card strong enough to warrant this as a build-around. The Frenzy cards thus far have been somewhat underwhelming, but there are still plenty of reveals left!
Rather ironically you probably don't want to run the only Warrior Frenzy minion that has been reveal so far (Warsong Envoy) in the same deck as you're looking for some big stuff. Let's see what Blizz has still in store.
if frenzy cards are any good. this will make them great
Now to see all Frenzy cards
-=alfi=-
The frenzy sinergy is so strong, should be a neutral card? I must have for warrior player. Unplayable maybe if there are frenzy minions on the board for the opponent.
Now that's a finisher!
If this resurrects Blademaster Samuro, that's another 1 damage to all enemy minions. You could be clearing the enemy board while building your own board with Barrens Blacksmith.
This is gonna be nice to experiment.
OBLIVION!
Curious about the other frenzy card, this will be an auto-include if decent
I'm not online it's just your imagination
finally some frenzy sinergy
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Personally I don´t like frenzy cards, so I´d be sad to open this from my packs.
♡ u 4ever 2008 - 2022
I kinda like it, but are there big frenzy cards that are good targets?
hmm if it gets goof frenzy resurrects seems very powerful
I'm frenzied about frenzy already! Give us the other cards
Strong synergy with the new keyword and offers awesome value

Finally this guy is in the game.The stats great , the effect value 100%.Frenzy warrior could be very great just need to see some more frenzy cards .
Very nice card. Love the artwork aswell!
Decent Card and could even be stronger depending on which Frenzy Cards we will get.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Stats are obviously bad on Saurfang, but I'm hoping there's big frenzy minions yet to be revealed that would make his affect so much better.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Power card. If Frenzy cards end up being any good, this will get nerfed
Frenzy warrior!
Greatly depends on the best Frenzy cards that warrior ends up getting, but never underestimate a board-in-a-card card.
Could be really valuable, but we'll have to see what remains to be released
And there'S the context for Blacksmith.
Kind of on the fence about this one.
Naturally you'd want to resurrect the bigger frenzy minions, but at the same time it might be hard to play at least two of those before you get to 7 (because we all know that statballs like this are best played on curve).
It also makes playing the 1/3 Frenzy guy from yesterday much worse, which should be taken into consideration seeing how Tempo Warrior will need any decent 1-drop they can get
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Warrior now getting resurrect ability also? I guess it is not a Priest unique ability since Hunter could also resurrect Deathrattle minions before.
Turn 10 play Lord Barov, play Saurfang, clear board and activate frenzy of resurrected minions. Great card
Agreed. Loved the card and the new frenzy mechanic.
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Makes sense in Warrior, has loads of potential!
a bit more frenzy support and its a 5 star card
Looks fun. We've reached critical mass on things I want to try. Warning. Warning. Too much good content.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Damn! Incredible frenzy synergy

Oohh this is actually soo good. Enrage warrior will love it together with Razormane Raider, Warsong Envoy will be buffed AF, and Barrens Blacksmith can buff a lot of minions. Also there will probably be some other Frenzy effects we don't know about yet. Control warrior probably would like it as well, because it can be quite a good board clear together with Blademaster Samuro, and value generation with Peon. Kinda feels weird to see a ress card in warrior, but we already have N'Zoth, God of the Deep as a neutral ress card so i'm not that bothered about it.
Overlord Saurfang seems like a really good card for warrior, and possibly a must-include in many warrior decks. Which i'm VERY happy about. Even though i don't know much about WoW lore, i have seen some lore video's about Overlord Saurfang and i really like him, i'm glad to finally see him in HS.
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.
Really good effect, but understated minion.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Well, Saurfang was an adventure boss back in Frozen Throne, but this is the first time he's appeared as a card.
I agree that resurrect is an unexpected mechanic for Warrior. This card might work best if you limit your Frenzy minions in order to control which ones he summons. For example, if you know he'll bring back Blademaster Samuro, you can bank on a 2-damage AOE, plus Samuro has Rush.

Yes, amazingly lore-wise fitted card. Can change board situation in one turn.
Stats are awful but the effect more than makes up for this. Great card that will definitely see play
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Ressurect in Warrior? Couldn't they've named that resummon?
really good card
Rez Warrior confirmed as new archetype. ;)
Looks already good with some of the already revealed frenzy cards and is a nice trigger.
I expected better stats for this! The effect is nice though
Not sold on all this frenzy. Maybe it works, but don't think will be high tier

I'm excited to see more frenzy cards!
Now frenzy is a thing, thats the type of card we want to play a new keyword. Just make more good frenzy card and we'll see this keyword around the meta for sure.
Murlocs <3
We haven't seen a ton of frenzy cards yet, so it's still a bit hard to judge exactly how powerful this will be, but clearly [Hearthstone Card (High Overlord Saurfang) Not Found] is great deal of value for the cost. It's so good, in fact, that it makes Razormane Raider - an otherwise boring "mechanic showcase" type card - look like a surprisingly strong in Warrior.
Rez warrior, let's go!
Frenzy synergy, makes for a great swing turn!
Resurrecting 2 minions, activating their frenzy effect + 5/4 body and 1dmg AoE is a huge tempo swing at turn 7. I think that is the best card reveealed atm.
By The Holy Light!
Stats are obviously less than desirable for their cost. However, getting two bodies back with a way to activate their effects can be huge. Solid deck building puzzle, but I think it is Missing that payoff from the right or near game breaking frenzy effect. Need more cards but could be amazing or just a speed bump
A lot of stuff going on here. Probably really good but a little slow. Play after Lord Barov for profit.
Makes frenzy cards worth playing. Seems pretty great. Resurrect for every class!
Fun synergy for frezy cards. I could see this being played as it is 3 bodies and 2 immediate frenzy effects plus a whirlwind. This is a very strong finisher card and as long as there is a good shell for the deck I could see this being very powerful.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Resurrect Warrior - what is happening?
This card itself says "for the hoorrdeee!"
For The HORDE!
Could be good.
The definitely could be better.
Sad the it seem like they already droped menagerie warrior.
There seem to be very few frenzy minions, hopefully the unrevealed commons and mini set will help this card.
I dont like it too much because we dont know yet all the frenzy minions, but lets face it, its Saurfang bois!
I like the flavor of "GET BACK UP AND FIGHT," but I've gotta see all the Frenzy cards before I can say it's good. At a first glance, it does seem strong.
I think this will be okay at best. A lot of people are discussing razormane and things like that but I don't think a card like this ever justifies a bad card like that. This either needs some consistently solid frenzy options that you are fine with having even without drawing Saurfang or it won't be used I bet.
I was expecting a card like this but as neutral legendary. will definately create a great combo somewhere. no brain 5 star card.
I dislike the direction taken, it being yet another 'I drew my strong card so I can win now!' effects, but it should be good fun to play. Not too strong, with the Frenzy cards we've seen so far, though they've often snuck very powerful cards into the final Facebook dump of commons and rares.
Better call Thrall!
Damn, now Warrior can also tap into Resurection's shenanigans ?!
That opens up new possibilities
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
All hail High Overlord Saurfang, the Old Soldier. The true Horde Incarnate.
Lok'tar Ogar!!
Pd: I wish Saurfang to be neutral but anyway I am very happy he arrives to hearthstone. I was waiting for him long time ago
This could give Warsong Envoy some insane attack. On the other hand it will only have 2 health left. If the other card it resurrects is Barrens Blacksmith, that might help. Either way, I think this makes any previously underwhelming looking frenzy minions look at least a bit better.
I feel like Warrior should get at least 2 more Frenzy minions in the expansion alone. Not only that, there's also the mid-expansion mini set that could give us extra synergies for this card.
As for the Frenzy minions already revealed, I believe the best target for Overlord Saurfang to ressurret might actually be Razormane Raider of all things. Blademaster Samuro's extra AoE is probably too small for 7 mana, Warsong Envoy gains a lot of attack but is mostly just an Ice Rager in terms of stats and Barrens Blacksmith is powerful but is just not as fast as a 5 random damage burst Razormane Raider provides. Sure, Razormane Raider sucks, but he's the fastest effect in here.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
As most say, curren Frenzy cards are not impressive, but it still generates a decent board I think.
I guess it will see play as long as there are 4 frezny minions worth playing.
If you choose your Frenzy cards carefully, playing this could be a powerful turn. This wins the award for most confusing wording on a "Forged in the Barrens" card so far, though. It sounds like it won't damage the Frenzy minions, but I would be willing to bet that it does.
Can't say more until we see all the frenzy minions
This card might be pretty good, some of the frenzy cards would be awesome to have resurrected.
Cya Lore.
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
Decent card. Weird to see resurrection in warrior, but I do like it. However, I would like to see more frenzy cards first before I am sold.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
I wasn't completely sold on the Frenzy mechanic but oh boy does this look viable
4 Mana 7/7
Super flavorful card, really strong too, with great art. One of my favorites from cards revealed so far. 5 starred this one :)
The wording is a little bit weird. It appears to read as if it deals 1 damage to all minions except the two resurrected Frenzy minions, although I'm 99% sure it doesn't do that. We haven't seen very many Frenzy cards so far, but with some big/good ones, this could potentially be quite good.
This legendary is quite limitated by other frenzy cards. Razormane Raider can be solid enough when u want push damage to the face or a single enemy minion; Barrens Blacksmith can enable huge buff and finish the opponent in a situation where we have tons of minion. Warsong Envoy can become huge, but with 2 health and without rush/charge will die quickly; Blademaster Samuro is a waste in this situation: 1 damage aoe extra and a 1/5
Say hi to Lor Barov before playing this one.
It seems to be rlly good
They did Saurfang justice, it's a really cool card! Hard to say how good with only two 5-cost Frenzies revealed so far, but I got my hopes up for this one.
Great card. Not only does it give board presence, it also acts as activator.
This card almost looks like an auto include in warrior decks.
I like it
Really early to judge since we haven't seen Frenzy in play to see how it will impact the meta.
I'm glad the High Overlord has finally made it into the game, and I think with proper deckbuilding, he will be very strong. Frenzy seems like a fun and well thought out mechanic.
pretty good
Resurrect warrior, lest goo
with the frenzy cards revealed- idk there seems to be decent targets. Will have to try shuffling around cards to see if this meets the threshold for being good, but holding out hope
So which 2 minions are worth resurrecting? Anchorman twice? Samuro for a 2 damage aoe? Razormane Raider hoping it goes face? All I know is that I don't know.
Arena > Wild > Standard
good
If you manage to build around this card, you can really do crazy things.
Rez Warrior! I'm sure there are some powerful Frenzy minions that Saurfang can bring back, and Warrior definitely has the ability to stall the game out with removal and Armor gain to find their finishers. I don't think this works as any deck's finisher, but if you're already a Control Warrior running a handful of good Frenzies he can be worth a look.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
I like the resurrect effect.
Ribbit
Saurfang would've looked dope as a diamond card!
Would be nice if he had some interactions if played when Sylvanas Windrunner on board.
scary good. Ressurrection in a warrior? there's a lot of good frenzy cards too.
Frenzy synergy coming. Should be good in late game
Seems great, but are there enough good Frenzy cards? Will Frenzy be limited to this expansion + mini-set?
Really cool seeing res effects outside of Priest and this actually gives me some hope that Frenzy could work.
Since it brings back the Frenzy minions and triggers their effects straight away, this has some great potential. Wishing it was somehow related to cleave though, being Saurfang and all!
Unfortunately, druids got the best nonlegendary frenzy minion, IMO.
Has potential, but I don't think it's enabling a new deck on its own.
I presume the deal 1 damage to all other minions means all others besides himself and not all others besides the two resurrected minions. This will be amazing for frenzy warrior. They already have lots of activators, add this in for more guaranteed activation and it gets kind of nuts.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Warrior has some strong Frenzy minions and this card looks insanely fun. It might just create a new deck on its own.
Great card art for a great icon of WoW. Very cool looking effect, too.
Nice late game
Frenzy deck staple if it becomes a thing.
decent card with frenzy synergy
It's nice that frenzy is starting out with some strong support, although it's strange to see warrior getting resurrect effects.
I'm not in love with Frenzy, but this seems like a really strong card if you can make them work. There's some good effects out there - you just need to make sure to only include them, and not any of the other ones.
Welcome to the site!
I love Surfang. I love this card. I love frenzy minions. I love rezzing minions. yes Yes YES!
Although this doesn't have many great frenzy minions to resurrect other than Whirling Combatant and Stonemaul Anchorman, those may be reactive enough to make Overlord Saurfang enough of a tempo swing to play.
For glory, honor, and gold!
