This is a funny design, love it
-=alfi=-
can be a great card for mill decks in wild
Looks quite dingy. Probably will only ever affect one card, and can't even kill big gamepices like old gods.
Great design for a mill deck like mill rogue in wild
4 Mana 7/7
Might be the best out post, but not sure I like them.
im going to give outposts a shot. im not conviced, but im kind of hoping they surprise me and become key part a popular deck. maybe part of a new warrior deck? lets see what theorycraft can come up with
I am not convinced that these watchers are good enough
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
No plz
i do not know. Do I miss something about those watch posts? They seem kinda weak to me
This is a watch post that could be viable. Disrupting your opponent's hand indefinitely is a pretty good plan
Hilarious. If you have any way to protect this against Rogue they will be furious.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I think this is the best watchpost.
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.
Best watch post (but the other watch posts just aren't that great)..
Hello Mill Rogue
Not as impactful as the others but good enough.
Its fine I suppose. I like it more than the epic one but I like it less than the rare one.
REALLY good watchpost, and it's cheap too. Will 100% see play, and i personally am kinda interested in playing some kind of watchpost deck.
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.
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
omg I am definately playing a watch post deck. even without synergy, this effect is crazy good.
This seems ok, but would you really run this card just to make your opponent's card draw more expensive?
needs a lot of work to be used
I like the watch post idea. I think it is about finding the right class to make it work more than about power level. Get ahead and find the way to finish the game before they can stop you.
Great watchpost

Posting in this post about a post card.
yay
Good anti combo card!
This is my favorite watch post. Increasing the cost of your opponent's cards is huge as it can give you a whole extra turn before they get to play their cards. This probably isn't powerful enough to be a very prominent card in the meta, but this little watch post deck seems like a fun meme.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
It's just one card that you're ever-so-slightly messing with most of the time. Love the idea though, especially since it seems too redundant for Mill Rogue - so not as annoying.
this is the best power, even if it is tier 10 gonna try some watchtower decks
Watchtower decks: get right outta town. No, seriously. Leave. I'm annoyed by you already.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Best post of them all
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Nice
Its a meme
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
If you want to interfere with an opponent's combo, or just annoy them, you can definitely run this card. None of these watch posts seem too powerful, and since there's only one payoff for them in the set I don't think we see them very much. This is a very weird tech card at best.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Oh god this is going to be so annoying to deal with.
this is very good(and annoying)
Well this watchtower is amazing hahaha 🤣 just to annoy your opponent to death
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
This actually looks like a somewhat decent Watch Post. The effect isn't always easy to ignore.
Worst watch post, and the other ones aren't particularly good.
This watch posts can be decent if they gain Taunt.
OBLIVION!
this is going to be so hated such a great effect all around.
This is a very interesting card, not to be underestimated. I like the flavor of this one, making your opponent actions anticipated, forcing them to slow down.
In a mill deck this is awesome for disruption.
But all the Outposts are meh... MEH with caps.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Neat card, guaranteed to hit at least one target. I like that it only goes up to 10. I still hate that Blackjack Stunner can make a cards unplayable.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
I knew it! I knew they wouldn't leave old what's-his-face hanging with just two watch posts!
This is actually my favorite of the three, and I would consider running it without the rest of the package.
See, I knew there was going to be another Watch Post. I can't wait to play with them, but I don't think it'll be any good. At least, this one isn't.
Arena > Wild > Standard
Well, making things cheaper is almost always good enough to see play. Making things more expensive? Not so much. This Watch Tower card is cheap, though, and maybe that's enough to see play as a weird anti-tempo tech. At least its effect is permanent, even if its removed.
idk why, but this is the only watch post that i really dig
So how many different post are there out there now? 3 types, so possibly 6 in a deck - if I am not mistaken
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Not very optimistic about all the watchposts - seems very memey. And this effect is a bit too minimal to see play.
Agreed !
Agreed !
Yes, enough to give Kargal Battlescar six Lookouts -- a full board of medium-sized minions that don't have Taunt or Rush. Congrats, sorry you're dead the next turn.
I'm pretty sure, we will see this card in play. Even though it looks like a meme now.
I think that is the best watchpost of the set.
By The Holy Light!
Not worth playing
Decent Card but i still think these Watch Posts will not see much play - right now they seem to weak overall.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
This is my favorite Watch Tower card. If any see play, it's this one.
Has to be removed from the board asap
I'm not online it's just your imagination
So there was one more Watch Post after all. This can get really annoying real fast, although there will also be decks that aren't that heavily impacted by it. Could see play since it's likely to bait out some removal from your opponent.
Tech option for fast decks against other fast decks. While not perfect, the surprisingly decent statline can throw off your opponents curve when trying to topdeck for tempo. In fact, I'd say the best counter to Far Watch Post is a good early game mulligan that allows to bypass said disruption.
One last thing: a lot of nerfed cards, when nerfed by increasing their mana by one, became useless.Far Watch Post's effect is that powerful in that regard.
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
Interesting control card, needs experimenting.
Hehe, pretty annoying for your opponent. Could see play with the designated legendary.
slepper op of the expansion?
Soft taunt control card. Very annoying for your opponent.
You play this, your opponent suffers 1-2 turns of bs, and then this card gets removed. Ultimately, you're not really doing much with this card since it doesn't really buy tempo and at its very best denies your opponent a top deck answer.
Let's be real, this card will never survive more than 1 turn. Its middling health means it will get removed by most things, and its pay off isn't really going to either disrupt or win you the game.
I didn't like watch posts to begin with, and this one is bad too

Insane or joke are the two options for this card. Can't wait to see which one will it be.
That's a really interesting card, hopefully can use it well in Standard.
good
This might be fine. Might even be the best Watch Post so far. But I'm still not sold that these are good.
I like the flavor of this card guess we'll see if the watch post cards will see play. I will be giving it a try.
Its a prior target for all the classes who get a tons of draw. Probably the better watch post since it activate at least once its effect. Thats the 3rd watch post card so now the legendary is able to summon six 5/5. I hope to see a watch post archetype it seems fun to play but i doubt about their power.
Murlocs <3
Nice design, original and will probably see play
This is one of the posts that I think could see some play. You will definitely get one hit off it and if you get other valid threats on board you could get more. Could be a fun thing to put in control decks.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Seems very bad
Ribbit
I love the design and the fact that cost 2 mana...but still dosn't impact the game in a significant way
Even if it can't attack can ruin your opponent hand, better if you have a mill deck especially in wild with draw cards murlocs
We need to see how the watch post deck will go, not sure which class it suits the best.

I think this is probably the best of the watch post cards.
Now THAT is a watchpost. A must-deal-with threat lest the opponent ruins their entire curve.
This card looks crazy, hard to remove and great effect. Guaranteed to at least increase the cost of one of the opponents cards, which can be quite disruptive
Stats are not bad. Effect honestly is not as bad as people think it is. Pretty cool card.
I am running this in every deck, hilarious card.
Great design new type of cards. Want to see it in some decks
can be impactful in early game
Turns out this post is really annoying!
Like the interruptive design, very swag
Good card, the Glide synergy is funny.
good card
Neat effect. I'm not sure if a watch post deck will be able to pull anything off, but still, very neat.
Probably the best watch post. It is annoying to remove if played on-curve and could mess with your opponent's game plan if you're lucky. Still doubt it finds a place in a Constructed deck though.
Who would've guessed there was another watch post left
I'm yet to see a watch post that excites me. But at least this is a fun effect.
eh? I don't think the archetype will work, but it'll be cool if it does
Is this the best of the watch posts? Your opponent can't stop themselves from drawing unlike playing minions or casting spells, and it's the cheapest one. I don't know though, Crossroads Watch Post looks more impactful, especially if their deck is spell heavy.
Ouch! This will at least work once, or twice if you already have pressure and draw a card to destroy it
For The HORDE!
Nice disruption card.
Love this as a tool on its own. Really might help to slow down opponents or make some of their turns just a bit more awkward.
Welcome to the site!
Actually an annoying card. Opponents will have to trade into this. Might makeKargal Battlescar good on it's on.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
I feel like this is probably the most interesting of the watch posts, which is probably why it's also the easiest one to remove. It's not so powerful that it completely screws your opponent over, but it will definitely slow their roll a bit.
Anti rogue card lol.
More of a meme card but has niche uses.
Dropping this on 2 would be really annoying to rogue as they really rely on multiple cards and their 0 cost. I also assume the effects are permanent.
I guess i will have to change my rating of this card. After i've seen this in the Theorycraft Streams i think this is better then i expected it to be - at least if you can drop it early on , like on 2 or even on 1 with coin.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
With the watch posts in general, I just think that classes have more synergistic options than building around these tech cards. There is a chance this and Mor'shan Watch Post are run in Priest and/or Paladin because of Rally!, but again, I think those classes have more synergistic options for their respective gameplans.
For glory, honor, and gold!
This is a really unfun card to play against
I want to play this into Glide and really frustrate my opponents
Considering all the more problematic cards in the meta, you've sure chosen a strange one to complain about.
