More enrage warrior support, whoopee
4 Mana 7/7
I'm not sure if this is good enough for self-damage warrior. Whirlwind might still be better.
Ribbit
I feel like this will see play. Even if it doesn't see use for its frenzy or self damage synergy its a solid body with a board ping.
Whirlwind effects in warrior is always good
Good against aggro decks
Good for frenzy enabling!
Frenzy activator, taunt and damage on enemy minions.
Solid card.
By The Holy Light!
Time to coin Ghoul again
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I feel that this will see play, it's practically a double whirlwind.
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.
Quite a good Frenzy enabler. Too bad for warrior that Battle Rage is gone
more aggro pain
What a cool card. Love it.
Frothing Berserker eat your heart out
Especially with the add charge card!
very good card ...
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
The next risky skipper
Can be decent, not sure though. Might be a REALLY expensive "replacement" for Risky Skipper.
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.
hmmm, not sure why you would play this instead of whilrwind.
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Powerful for its cost
Rogue DH
Pretty strong, this triggers all of your other frenzy stuff, and at 6 health it is difficult to remove without triggering it again. I am sure this will find a place in a warrior deck somewhere.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
on the weak side for constructed but for arena this will be highly valued
I believe it will be useful in some control archetypes, but won't see much play
great frenzy activater
A card that trigger your opponents frenzy effects, idk about that
Best frenzy synergy ever
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Oh this card is so cool. We've seen "Battlecry and Deathrattle:..." cards, but this is new. And it looks pretty powerful!
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Nice
Basically Blood Razor with a body. Seems dope
About time some Fury Tauren Warrior representation came up.
Whirlwind effects on a stick are usually good, double whirlwind effects even better, and now we have Frenzy as a big mechanic. Will definitely be played.
good for proc'ing frenzy but also proc's opponents frenzy cards
Vs aggro this is just like concecrate with a body .For the new frenzy tempo warrior it will see play
6 out of 5. Auto-include in every Frenzy Warrior deck, might also be in Control decks. Remember Ravaging Ghoul?
OBLIVION!
Taunt puts it over the top, not super strong but playable
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Guaranteed Frenzy + Enabler for other Frenzy.
If Frenzy gets successful as a new keyword, this is going to be staple for Warriors
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Don't know how good it is but I think this is one of the most Warrior flavored cards ever.
It's OK. That's a lot of Health to deal with, which makes it likely that the Frenzy gets triggered, but the payoff of a "free" Whirlwind doesn't sound all that appealing. My instinct says this card doesn't make the cut in most Warrior decks.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
4 mana 2/6 that comes with two Whirlwinds seems decent.
Maybe, but doesn't look impactful enough.
Frenzy warrior! The theme song will be epic. It's going on in my head right now.
To the keyboards!
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
A lot of Frenzy synergies with Warrior, that's really good.
And scary in some way. Still I can't get a control deck running frenzies out of my head.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
It's generally good, but I don't think I want to run it with Saurfang.
It seems frenzy is the new enrage up to a point
Flexible, yet clumsy at the same time. Probably only reliable enough as a Frenzy activator, but I wouldn't count on this card clearing many boards.
Arena > Wild > Standard
I just want to see the warrior mirror with suarfang and this gets rezzed and see what survives
Frenzy warrior getting more and more support)
I don't think this will really be necessary unless PAIN WARRIOR needs as many Frenzy triggers as possible, for consistency.
It's nothing special, but this card should see play in different archetypes like frenzy, control, enrage etc
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
the 3 mana 3/3 ghoul again. good support for board clearance, enrage effects, frenzy effects in general
good board clear
The 3/3 whirlwind guy was played so this one will be, too, probably
-=alfi=-
Good Risky Skipper replacement.
Good one
I'm not online
it's just your imagination
Enrage rage rage
Good card, will see play in constructed.
This seems pretty good - Double Whirlwind on a stick.
Also works petty well with other frenzy cards.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Enrage warrior
Frenzy Enabler
best frenzy card
I don't think warrior needs this, and definitely not something you want to ressurect

Good for Warrior, they can always abuse this kind effects. Interesting for enrage decks and good vs aggro.
Warrior getting AoE damage. They certainly are exploring new avenues.
If Gruntled Patron sees play it will be because of this card.
But the fact that his frenzy effect is likely to be triggered by your opponent means less control for you, and that's often enough what will likely sink this card to unplayable levels.
Enable frenzy but other than that not so much. Too many good 4 drops for warri this isn't good enough i think.
Great control, combo and frenzy activator card.
The battlecry is good because it triggers your frenzy, the frenzy not that good since you already activated your frenzy juste before. They didnt printed new minions that get a lot of buffs by suffering damage so its a weird design
Murlocs <3
Solid pairing of frenzy activation and AOE. Should see some play in any slower Warrior deck
good
Agreed, seems like a bad resurrect target. Out of the three class Frenzy minions Warriors got, I'd only consider playing Stonemaul Anchorman with Saurfang.
Looks underwhelming, honestly. If you want Whirlwind, you want it cheap, not on a 4-drop. Most useful as anti-aggro, but Warrior isn't lacking in boardclears.
Good card against agro and can be combo Frothing Berserker. This card can't replace Risky Skipper, but can see some play
This is a very warrior card lol.
Agreed
Death's Bite, Ravaging Ghoul and Blood Razor were all played. I don't see why this wouldn't be.

This sounds good for Warrior, could see play in midrange deck.

Good stats and gives a lot of control over when to trigger the Frenzy effects. It'll definitely see some play
Very good card, 5 stars.
Not sure we see this card. We could find better options to play
Good as an enrage enabler and small board-clearer. A bit niche, but its very good at what it does.
Nice 3/1 stealths you got there. Would be a shame if something happened to them. Twice.
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
Looks nice for triggering Frenzy effects. No more Inner Rage, but there is Slam, but you'd need 6 mana to do both in the same turn. I think most things have more than 1 or 2 health by turn 4 anyway. Or just trade next turn.
Warrior seems to be the best class to be able to reliably activate frenzy effects. This one just adds to that ability. I expect some form of frenzy warrior to be a thing.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
solid
Decent AOE but not deck defining in any way probably wont see too much play
I wonder if Beserker / Damage warrior will become a thing. ever.
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
This is crazy good. Warrior just keeps getting more and more board clears.
Whirling Combatant is another good resurrect target for Overlord Saurfang, together with Stonemaul Anchorman and Blademaster Samuro. This will probably compete with Sword Eater as Warrior's best 4-drop, though I think the latter is still better.
Solid stand-alone card.
2 activators in 1 card.
Pretty certain this would see play see play especially now that Risky Skipper is rotating.
Strong card, nice synergies 4/5
good card
Double whirlwind on a good stick, great sinergy with Warrior and Frenzy overall, strong card, staple in most decks from now on I guess
Helping clearing out the board against aggro as well... Tempo Warrior is going to be strong
Very nice Frenzy minion with some effects that are very solid in warrior. Good card.
Probably too slow.
It's good. But would you want your Saurfang to bring this back? Probably not. Still interesting card.
A risky skipper that not kills himself for now
For The HORDE!
Strong card with it's aoe effect.
questionable, but probably will see play
Feels like an obvious Warrior card. Not exciting, but an expected addition from this new Keyword.
Welcome to the site!
The big Frenzy card for warriors. I expect to see many games where these get resurrected by Saurfang, and there's 3 or 4 Whirlwinds that get triggered.
Decent clear, tough body. Will see some use.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
I have no idea what's going on in this card art, but that's part of what makes it fun. The stats are pretty average for the cost, but having potentially two whirlwind effects is quite powerful, especially with the right deck build. It reminds me quite a bit of Blood Razor, which was a pretty decent card back in the day.
Anti-aggro card and frenzy support card. Nice.
This reminds me of Ravaging Ghoul that can also get another Whirlwind effect almost for free. This is all for one additional mana and synergizes well with Overlord Saurfang, who doesn't have a lot of great frenzy minions to resurrect outside of this and Stonemaul Anchorman.
For glory, honor, and gold!
