Seems like it activates from going face too... so it is super good.

At first glance, this looks super weak...+1+1 isn't that of a bit deal, especially warrior has cards like shield of honor to aggro down the opponent.
Sticking a on 2 was a nice play for Aggro Rush warrior this season that I played to Legend. This card slots right in. Nice.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Great card and its effect might spiral out of control quickly.
this is strong, if you cant remove it fast and your enemy have any minion advantage before you, then you are going to be snowballed to death
Enables Warmaul Challenger to be a massive beast of a minion. Everything else is a little too iffy as it needs them to actually survive the attack.
If it works attacking the enemy hero. Then great. If not... Too slow

This seems kind of weak to me for a legendary.
Looks like it can buff itself from the text. If that's the case it's really op
Then compare it to Darius Crowley and you'll see that it's much stronger
It's not a scary effect or an interesting effect, but it's a well-desired one for a healthy archetype. Cards like this, cards that build up small bits and pieces of stats and round out your board, are quite fun to play with. It's the l'il dopamine bumps that pile up with the slow accumulation of numbers. Like training a skill in Runescape!
I will say, I'm quite excited to play with Warrior on the 25th. The set mechanic, Frenzy, is just built different for Warrior. Frothing Berserker is back, Whirlwind will be around, Rokara and the new Warsong Commander fuel the rush archetype... It'll be fun!
Better call Thrall!
Obviously this is built to synergize with Frenzy cards, but it's way better than just that. "Attacks and survives" doesn't mean "kills a minion" or even "attacks a minion" - your board can just go face and get buffs out of Rokara while you get extra value from your rush value trades. Seems super powerul.
That's pretty aggressively costed, useful effect, and can act as a great support for Enraged Damaged/Frenzy'd minions
That is going to be fun!
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
The video suggests playing this alongside Blademaster Samuro. Will the order of events mean he gets the buff, THEN deals his AOE? That could be neat,
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
This doesn't seem terrible. I could see it spiraling out of control if not removed.
Buffing up the Health of your damaged minions (self-damaged, most likely, to trigger Frenzy effects at advantageous times) while still keeping them damaged is nice, but this doesn't seem strong enough for a Legendary.
Meh. It works, but so easy to remove. You'll get one, maybe two good procs before it's dealt with.
This is kind of crazy with Warmaul Challenger, but this looks underwhelming in every other use case. Both the body and the effect look underwhelming for the cost. Rokara herself is rarely going to trade into anything and survive, and the effect doesn't make up for the body. The single +1/+1 buffs don't stack up fast enough and don't help with trades as the minions are buffed AFTER the attack and have to survive. Comparatively, Guff Runetotem's effect stacks up much faster in a given turn and is easier to achieve.
For glory, honor, and gold!
can be good with low cost rush minions
if this activates offf of going face good, if not, meh
Should be good in a Tempo Warrior deck focused on medium Rush minions. This thing will enable Warrior to trade VERY favorable into token decks.
Pay attention to the wording here.
"attacks and survives" - Doesn't need to take damage. This means that even if you attack the enemy hero, that minion will still get the buff. Seems like it could be pretty useful.
Pretty good. Looks like they're pushing Tempo Warrior in the next expansion. This could be a strong tool in that deck.
Kind of encourages a Face Warrior style of play, with your board getting stronger and stronger by ignoring enemy minions.
If you're against a Warrior, you'd better be verrry careful how you spend your removal tools.
A nice addition to rush warrior.
Reminds me of [Hearthstone Card (Darius Crowly) Not Found], fun but probably not strong enough. Still a strong aggro deck could take advantage of this. If she does come down on a board and gets her buffs she'll be decent. I know that's a lot of "if"s for decent, we'll just have to see what else warrior gets in Barrens.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
This has a lot of potential
Nice solid card
-=alfi=-
I can't get over how weak the stats seem to be. Not an on-curve play for sure, but I'm also not sure if there's a Warrior deck right now that would go wide fast enough/be interested enough on couple of +1/+1 buffs to run her.
a new must include for all minion based decks
Really strong. Op sinergy with the 1 10 warrior minion.. warrior strong next expansion, frenzy is like enrage, so all the frenzy minions will get extra buff this one.
Drop this to your already built board to get a few +1/+1s. You can drop this on curve, go face with your 2 drop and it gets buffed.
OBLIVION!
pretty strong card. If not removed fast you're screwed
I'm not online it's just your imagination
can find a slot in an aggro deck
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
On paper this looks good, we´ll see if it fits in a deck.
♡ u 4ever 2008 - 2022
Great card ,not op but great for making you minions more sticky on the board .Love it .
Fells like a win more card. Good when you already have the board. But op with Warmaul Challenger
for a legendary doesnt seem very powerful
Aggrowarrior with ETC deck
Rogue DH
This is a great late game card, allowing your minions to survive more trades and go face better.
Dunno mediocre at least
Decent enough to see play i guess , but also easy to remove but it still is pretty good for 3 Mana.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Looks pretty good.
Another card for Rush Warrior. This will find a deck and be used often
So it's 3/4
I like it, but the fact that it only ever activates after trading/going face means it's a rather slow way to buff up your boards.
Probably has some more context, but I think it's still just good enough to include in a tempo deck unless there's just no space for it.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
A little too expensive for a deck slot imo
Hmmm I guess this legendary would've been broken at 2 mana? Definitely encourages the tempo/enrage warrior decks we've seen crop up recently. The effect isn't very flashy but it'll likely see play.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
This should be able to buff itself right? Curving Warsong Envoy into something else into this might be a good early tempo curve, but 2 attack on 3 mana trades kind of poorly.
Looks super strong and annoying.
Can Buff itself and activates when you hit enemy face.
The snowball potential is scary.
By The Holy Light!
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Fits the class, but does it fit the meta?
it feels like a win more card, but will it be enough to secure a win when ahead? We'll need to see.
I don't see it as a bad card, Rush Warrior is a thing, so this could be really a sleeper card or a meme.
Hope the former.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
For a legendary the effect seems rather lackluster, no doubt that the effect can be strong in some cases but overall I think use cases are too limited for this card to really take off.
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
effect is meh stats too, 3/5
Does frenzy activate before of after the +1+1? Because it could see play with Blademaster Samuro
Murlocs <3
decent but underwhelming for legendary.. as the whole set apparently
Rokara seems like a good card, nothing too exciting but still good. Seems good with Warmaul Challenger and it seems good with a rush package, mainly in control warrior, without an E.T.C., God of Metal OTK. Considering the text says that minions get the buff WHEN they attack, it probably means that cards with Frenzy like Blademaster Samuro will get the buff before their Frenzy triggers. Also cards like Razormane Raider can actually get +2/+2 from Rokara. (+1/+1 when you attack with it, and another +1/+1 when it attacks from it's frenzy.) AND it can be quite insane alongside Animated Broomstick or Warsong Commander in control warrior to ensure that minions survive their trades.
I think Rokara might be seem weak, but when used correctly she can be a REALLY powerful card.
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.
Drop it with some windfury minions....
Easy to remove but one or two procs is probably all I would plan for anyway. Can make crab riders or any other windfury minion pretty thic in short order.
This card seems pretty strong in any warrior deck. Can't wait to play it and buff my walls!
By itself it is a 3 mana 3/4 rush that has the potential to get bigger. That by itself is playable. If you already have any minions on the board however this can immediately buff your board and create a big problem for your opponent. I don't see why this wouldn't be played in any aggro/midrange warrior deck. It is an independently strong card that also buffs the rest of your board for free.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Very strong with rush minions and charge ones in wild
I think this will be pretty strong. Its a less than stellar stat line for a 3 drop but the effect isn't a small one so I think Warrior will like this. That said it seems that they are pushing Warrior to be something more tempo driven than its usual game plan. Both with these and the removal of some defensive tools in its core set.
this has potential but this is not a game winning effect I think. I do not expect this to see play.
Solid, just kinda boring.
Looks powerful. Maybe you play it when you have a board, then everything attacks and gets +1/+1. It will probably be pretty easy to deal with with those base stats, but it has rush, so if there's a target that it can survive hitting, you might be in business.
Do me trade? Nope!
Me go face? Yup!
Me retard? Nope!
Me am smart? Yup!
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
Extremely good, already buffs itself for 1 after attacking, in most cases it should, and also generates an instant threat if left behind.
Shame they didn't give it Devine shield. However, build your board, drop this, go face, buff your cards..
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
The 3 mana cost 2/3 stats aren't the most impressive - but the buffs aren't something to frown at at all.
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.
Here comes the mercenary we awaited!
This couldn't be a non-warrior card, 'cause is the only way to give her horde red color lol!
For The HORDE!
I think the 2/3 body isn't strong enough to stick around enough to make an impact
4 Mana 7/7
Good for tempo decks, fairly unique effect. Like it.
Not that good to be honest
Nice but does it trigger on itself?
ETC
The Warmaul Challenger synergy isn't enough imho. Darius Crowley was played because can remove something and become a threat. As a 2/3 you can remove a lot of staf in mid and late game, also u need a lot of board presance to get value from this card in a single turn (because Rokara will not survive)
Great card.
This seems like a fairly weak "win more" card to me, but maybe I'm misjudging it. It would be a shame if one of the main characters of the expansion saw no play.
The card looks fair to me, but not bonkers. The condition that the minion needs to survive for this to get the buff is what holds this back I think.
Best case is you have board filled with minions, drop this, go face, them you have big minion that can rush.
Great card
Interesting, but could get a little clunky. It's good that she has rush and can buff herself. Won't work with 1/1 rushers since they die. Clearly playable but it will be hard to abuse the effect.
3 Stars because it's kinda boring, I don't like Frenzy very much to be honest. She's gonna end up being good tho, I see support coming for this
This feels like it will be a wonderful addition to anything that uses Rush. Drop this with any deck that uses E.T.C., God of Metal and there is board presence and punches to the face. I like it.
A nice complement to frenzy minions or sturdy taunts. I think this will be left in the dust for some other cards though. It will rarely be able to live long enough to make too big of an impact unless you are already ahead handily on the board.
It's a decent tool for Buff Warrior, especially if you have a lot of Rush or Charge minions. I don't know if a dedicated Buff deck ever works out, but this might just be good enough to run in a more minion-based Warrior deck if you like getting extra stats on things.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Nah
The fact that it buffs minions going face seems nice in a very aggressive warrior. But overall not as powerful as other mercenaries though
Noy bad in a vacuum, but I've got no clue what deck wants to include this. Something like a Pirate Warrior is missing too many pieces to make sense in Standard.
Arena > Wild > Standard
good
Bad stats but the effect is very polyvalent and can work in slower and faster decks. It will probably see play, at least for the Warmaul Challenger synergy.
Seems like a good card
Ribbit
This seems real good. A great tempo play in the early game, and if there is any kind of Warrior that builds a moderately wide board it will be more and more valuable in mid and late game.
~ An expertly disguised dinosaur
Easy to kill, only for one turn, so not enough good.
Strong aggressive card, not sure which deck it'll fit in but looking forward to playing with it
Not worth a slot in your deck.
This feels like it should be strong, and I have rated it with 4 stars. But something tells me that it might not be as strong an effect or as easy to achieve as it first appears.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Should be strong in a deck focused on frenzy and it doesn't even need that much synergy to be good. Most Warrior decks might consider it.
I'm not excited to be on the receiving end of a match where this effect spins out of control!
Hit face , get buffed
Will need to be used in some rush combos or it becomes a win-more card. But maybe this helps make Rush Warrior a legitimate contender?
Has some good synergies but needs to stick.
it is slow and the effect is meh
Works on herself too, which is cute. Seems like a small buff, but I guess if you have enough of a board they could all go face and just get a straight +1/+1 with potential for more if she isn't cleared.
Welcome to the site!
Decent on turn 2, but with the proper setup this can add some decent buffs to the board. I rather like the idea of this in a rush warrior deck, where you can potentially go from nothing to a big board fairly quickly.
I like it. Has rush and gives buffs to other minions who attack. Nice.
