New Neutral Minion - Gruntled Patron

not even 3-mana, oh how far he has fallen

I like that this card is a cheaper version of Grim Patron.

oof, not seeing it.

Worse Grim Patron

Here's the patron, cheaper, but can only activate once. 

EVERYONE!!!

All the other attempts to not make Grim Patron OP have sucked.... why would this be any different

Nice callback, nice smile. Bad card.

GET IN HERE!!!

the normal Grim Patron s didnt trigger more than 1 anyway, so this might be very good

another take on the patrons. Lets see how this one turns out

not getting play

Always love me a patron. Won't see play but still lovely.

Seems really bad, considering frenzy triggers once. 3 Health is also easy to deal with. Arena card at best.

Nice artwork just dont think it will see much play even on wild 

the old Grim Patron had quite a success ... this can be the same story

Can't be abused as much as Grim Patron was back in the day, and I really don't like hearing the word "Gruntled," so here's hoping nobody figures out a powerful way to use him and takes the deck to Grandmasters.

stats are soooo bad.

I think this could have been 3 mana....but maybe I'm overvaluing the repeated trigger that the original had.

Even with Warsong Commander you still need a board of enemy minions with 2 or less attack.

Prefer the old patron

good

i hate this card please remove it

Warsong Commander's bro. But even that doesn't look so great, unfortunately.

Let's not forget, Warsong Commander is getting the nerf reverted . . .

EVERYONE GET IN HERE!

oh oh oh is it back

5/5 just coz he's a patron. His voice lines better be nostalgic 

Almossst

Nice

Haha, memories :')

Not as broken as Grim Patron, so I don't think it'll see play

As of 2021, clearly everyone hasn't gotten in here.

Might be fringe playable if other Frenzy cards cause a lot of self-damage cards to see play.

You can't focus a deck around making a board of 3/3s nowadays. Maybe can find a place as supplement card in frenzy Warrior decks, IDK.

This re-re-print of the good Ol' Patron seems pretty toned down and possibly a little too fair to really see that much play.
Someone will find ways to meme it good, I have no doubt!

flinger for some big board?

Everyone we back again !Could see some play maybe 

Once Frenzy is triggered, it won't summon another one.

Could combo with Whirling Combatant, but probably it's bad.

The most you could get are 2, then the first is dead, I think. Buffs and combo crap aside. 

Gruntled. 

Well, they couldn't exactly print a better Grim Patron, now could they?

Of all possible, reasonable patron iterations, this is probably as good as it gets. If you weren't around for the original, trust me, you do NOT want this card to be playable.

The card that had to be printed! I want to give it 5 stars for the design alone, but let's not do that as I don't think this will see much play.

Everyone get in here

Worse than its predecessor, but giving it 5 stars for the fond memories. 

Meh. You can generate multiple copies of this on the board, but it's still not as reliable as the old Grim Patron. Looks like an arena card.

how the mighty patron has fallen

Grim patron hmm cheaper, but not as powerful - probably will be tried by warrior to be abused a little 

Boring. Everyone knew this would be coming as soon as Frenzy was announced. Probably won't be played however.

can be good in certain decks

They will not stop to try the Patron memes

Remembers me to Gibberling, the summoned one can be frenzied another time, and another, and another...

But it's to slow for a tokens deck and poor stated for a fenzy deck. Maybe for arena.

Nice card glad it can't be overused

Good old days of patron warrior...

A FIGHT? COUNT ME IN!

Seems to slow ! Sure Grim Patron was a beast but in comparison this looks to weak to be even half as good as Grim was. 

Everyone... Get out of here... 

Poor Patron, he shinned bright, then Arena Patron appeared... Which was bad but could spawn multiple copies... And now this?

Oh boy... filler card...

Mana cost too high though.

mihgt be good its 4 mana one time use grim patron

This brings back some memories... Warrior mains will surely try this out.

The only reason why Grim Patron was so powerful back then was because it gets charge out of the old warsong commander. Outside of that its just bad. And this one is no better, despite being cheaper by 1 mana.

Nice meme

Yeah, love cards like this :)

At first looked like a better grim patron but they only trigger once, still might be good in frenzy warrior.

Welcome to the Patron club, Gruntled Patron. Are bars in Warcraft always filled with miserable gits?

On this card specifically, Arena Patron saw no play at (5), and I doubt this will at (4), especially when it's relatively easy to deal 3 damage to remove this off the bat.

I have dark memories of a similar card in the young hearthstone age

good

Grim Patron but worse.

Certainly a worse Grim Patron, but maybe good enough to see play? Particularly since Warrior lost some of their better armor gain cards, having this cascade of frenzy effects could make for a solid way to gain tempo and armor while destroying enemy minions.

In a warrior meme deck

This is worse than the OG Grim Patron as you can't get two Gruntled Patrons from one of them, so it lacks the scalability. Also, the tools that made Grim Patron good back in the day, namely Warsong Commander, do not exist in the same way today, meaning the Gruntled Patron doesn't really have a payoff.

Everyone get in here!!

I like it. Always

Filler card with a good sentimental value XD

Grim patron and Gibberling 

Nice 

Cheaper, but still worse Grim Patron

I am going to say it's bad, and hope there's no way I am wrong. I never want to see the days of Grim Patron ever again.

It's 1 less mana because he traded in his axe for an extra beer, duh!

I started HS around the time when Grim Patron was a thing, that being said this looks like a worse Grim Patron

Not good, but will probably see play in Wild alongside Grim Patron just for fun.

Grim Patron like it. Me also :) Wanna play and test it both in standard and wild

It is slightly worse, but I feel certain this would be almost as scary as the old one if there were a way to give it Charge. That is what made the original so oppressive. And since the Charge was often used to clear minions, it is possible Broomstick will serve the same purpose now.

This could definitely see some actual play.

This card induces flashbacks, but I don't think it will be as good as its predecessor.

Cute callback, but probably won't see standard play.

This feels like what would have made the original patron more enjoyable. I like the limited use of the effect, kind of like what Spellburst is like on Gibberling.

hard to fill the board with this one

Grim Patron, when combined with two Whirlwind-like effects, would summon 4 minions. Gruntled Patron only summons 3. It's still equally annoying to deal with, but right now I feel this will be mostly just a tech option for tempo warrior.

Hopefully a good voice line

I don't think anybody is getting in here, this is just bad.

good card

Will be meme bait. No major standard play will happen IMO. 

I am Grim Patron. Or rather, Grim Patron as he should have been. 

With Warsong Commander giving rush, I guess the spirit of Patron warrior will return, even if the specific details mean it will have to play out differently. Still, it's a nice thing to be able to do, and well worth Gruntled Patron's place in the set.

Every. Single. Expansion. 
lol

Obvious callback. It will only ever summon one, but that one can summon another one and so on. Maybe combine with Pen Flinger and spells, and you have a much slower neutral Gibberling.

Meme card. Kudos to anyone who makes this work.

Ahah another round my friend!

(But i don't like the fact it triggers only once)

A cute little callback to Grim Patron, but I seriously doubt this has any kind of chance. Maybe I'm not seeing some combo.

I loved Grim Patron warrior before Warsong Commander was nerfed, RIP.  Not as strong, but also not as expensive.  It will still be a fun card to experiment with, but not meta defining the way our less gruntled friend was.

Arena card again.

Cute, but nope!

Everybody get in here!

Yes please more patrons.

Meme patron.

Not good enough sadly. Too pricey for what it does.

Pack filler
