Could be really strong but also really awkward when it doesn't kill anything, but the Barov combo is probably enough to make it playable. That could be a ton of armor gained to stabilize.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I mean sure it hits your board but usually you don't have one when you need a board clear. This is worse than things like Holy Nova when you do have a board but even then you at least gain some armor against the classes you really need it for. Against slower decks you can likely save this for when you really need to have it, like with Barov.
Great in combo with Barov, much value
4 Mana 7/7
Sooo much value!! Love this card!!
I really like this card as an aoe versus aggro which makes the warrior tankier
Great with Barov Combo, and general anti-swarm.
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.
better than the equivalent paladin spell

insane AOE against aggro decks. Perfect for the upcoming Druid Token - Murloc Shaman - Zoolock - Meta
Wow this will make aggros decks cry. There will for sure be some scenarios where it sucks, but the potential is off the charts.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
It's not Warpath but I'll take it
agro kill card, as if warrior didnt have enough AOE.
dude palidin, murloc shamman, token druid, zoo all going to have some issues with warrior
What a great card. Love the flavour too.
Might be a solid tech choice against a meta swarmed with tokens.
5/5 cards, amazing board clear and survival tool. Will certainly help with dealing with those pesky FACE decks.
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.
Very good! After skipper/armorsmith combo rotates out, this is the way for warlock to contest aggro.
this is the best AOE card that I've ever seen in this game. crazy super ultra mega good.
A two-sided consecration that also gives you armor. This seems like an all-around good card. The damage is decent, and the armor gain is just absolutely wonderful.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
nice
Kenny's little poet. 😇
excellent card for control
Armor = Love
Great support for control warrior!
Control Warrior is back
Rogue DH
this one is awesome
aggro destroyer
Excelent against agro
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Wow, this is probably one of the best anti-aggro cards for warrior, paired with Lord Barov will make any control warrior work again.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Okay someone's even happier than I am about the card. But I do absolutely love it. There's nothing like ruining an aggro strategy with a single removal spell.
Nice aoe
Very solid anti-aggro option
Consecration power creep, might be run
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
good anti-aggro
Annoyingly good.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Staple for Control Warrior. It has great synergy with Lord Barov.
OBLIVION!
Bring me Solo and the Wookie.
They will all pay for this anti-aggro outrage.
AoE and armor gain in one card is a good competition, but 4 mana is a very high cost for 2 damage AoE.
5 star card, even if it doesn't deal enough damage there are several ways in warrior to damage all.
This is a very good card against aggro decks, as if Warrior needed more AoE and survival tools to punish aggressive decks. Great for stabilizing against wide boards, specifically. I also heard this comes with a pudgy shirtless guy who cries a lot.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Seems like it'll probably be good. That is quite the Armor gain you can get from this.
Barow and this get value .Vs aggro get value .if not use for these situations you are going to cry.
Mad Summoner.
10 mana combo, gain 26 armor if everything goes according to the plan.
Wow... just wow.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
I bet Control Warriors are crying tears of joy for this one. Seems really good.
Amazing card for control!
I just want to point out -- as Liv pointed out and then immediately dismissed -- that it's pronounced "ranker."
The pronunciation "RANG-core" is reserved for the monster from "Return of the Jedi."
I love the design. Powerlevel-wise, This is just probably just ever so slightly better than Holy Nova for Priest.
Arena > Wild > Standard
This plus lord barov to clear and gain a million armor
Wonder what the average Armor gain will be. 6-8 Armor is my guess, which, while removing (hopefully) all enemy minions, is pretty good. Then, of course, it activates Frenzy on your undamaged minions.
Yes for warrior's board control tool!
Warrior has a few ways to combo this and make sure to armor up quite a bit ; great card
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Nice board clear and armor gain with the right setup
For a control warrior it seems like a consecration with a bonus - seems a solid pick with good health gain.
Agreed !
Reminds me of Holy Nova, with an upside to killing minions
This may be nice survival tool.
-=alfi=-
Nice aoe with a present
I'm not online
it's just your imagination
Insane value
Ok on it`s own and very strong in combination with Barov.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Nice board control card.
best warrior card in fitb
Since the loss of Shield Block and Risky Skipper this may be the closest we'll ever get to high armor values in standard for the time being.
Yes, deal 2 damage is not really alot. But against aggro this is just lights out, and for that unique quality this will see play.
Bye, bye tokens?
Good counter to token/zoo decks that go wide

Great board clear, and devastating vs aggro.
And almost all the new murlocs have 2 health. I see what you did here blizzard.
Murlocs <3
Aggro wrecker card, autosurrender for any aggro deck when that card cleans the board and adds 10~20 armor... Just for 2 mana.
By The Holy Light!
Seems okay for control warri but frenzy warri seems to be better.
Very strong card, too bad it even prevents you from playing Kazakus in your new FitB deck :(
Depending on the meta, this might require too much setup. But in the early days of the Barrens Meta, when aggro will be everywhere, this will be incredibly powerful.
good
A good old control warrior card
Good effect but I think the card art wasn't finished yet
Good against agro deck and can be played in combo with Barov. However i'm not a super fan of the 2 flat damage because in some spot will not clear the board and leave you in a precarious situation
This is a pretty good effect for a reasonable cost.
Very nice spell for warrior
Ribbit
Could be used for board clear, but not sure about the mana. It´s still great against aggro.

Great removal against agro decks. Extra armor which can be used in many ways
Seems like a pretty good stabiliser for Warrior, especially when coupled with Lord Barov.
~ An expertly disguised dinosaur
As a Wild player, I don't think this will be seeing play in that format. The cost is too high for the damage dealt.
Destroyer of Zoo decks, really scary card for any kind of aggro deck
Comboes really well with Lord Barov, but 2 damage AoE for 4 is a bit slow.
Pretty good. This + Barov is insane.
This will probably give warrior a lot of armor against swarm decks.
It's fine, I guess. Lord Barov with this is a clear the board and gain a bunch of armor. On turn 7. That's the issue. On turn 7, against aggro, you most likely already won. Against control, armor is irrelevant. Against midrange, they want to summon a their big late game threats so single target removal is better.
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
Love this card looks like Lord Barov has a new friend
Has potential, good control, it's like a better Holy Nova
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
control warrior getting stronk
A very good card if it manages to clear the board since you can gain up to 14 armor, that'll make this a better Holy Nova. But that's a big if. Still, I think it's on the solid side, just another tool for Control Warrior decks to play around with. I dare say it'll see play if a strong control deck emerges.
Good removal spell
good card
Amazing card, aggro breaker
Both good and bad
Good early board clear and incidental armor gain for slower warrior decks. But, I think just as important is that it gives Warrior another tool for activating Frenzy effects.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
The main point is the damage not the armour
Perfect for control warrior. Will see a lot of this if there are aggro decks in need of countering!
Pretty good board clear, although I don't love how much damage it might do to your own minions. The armor gain is quite nice, though. Warrior loves control cards, and this is just another arrow in the quiver.
I think this is a nice fill in to several warrior decks, and a GREAT anti-aggro tool.
solid card
The boardclear that will carry Control Warrior while in standard, it's that good.
Really good board clear that also offers survivability. The synergy with Lord Barov is nice too to make it useful even later in the game.
Warrior's type of Consec, not bad.
Aaah! The Rancor!!!
Oh wait is not the monster
For The HORDE!
Aoe and armor gain. Strong control card.
really good aoe
Feels like a lot of mana to invest if you don't get a bunch of Armor from it. Then again, Warrior excels at controlling the board until lategame, so maybe they use this decently enough.
Welcome to the site!
The bane of token decks for the next 2 years.
Great card for clear and armor gain.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
As others have mentioned, enables the effect is enabled by Barov. Board clear + armor.
For me this feels like a better Holy Nova (though not strictly better).
Another tool for control warrior, yikes
Consecration proves that a four-mana two-damage AoE is relevant, and this has scalable armor gain on top of the AoE. Rancor can just be a card that just shuts out aggressive decks, which means it will probably see a lot of play in Control Warriors.
For glory, honor, and gold!
