    Big potential! I would be very suprised if this doesn't see play.
    It's clearly the enabler for the whole "damaged minion" theme and on top of that a good control tool in a vacuum.

    For (2) mana, you get what you pay for.  The hope of course is to have a board of Venomous Scorpids and you just annihilate their side.  The reality is going to be more of a situation where you nettle down their forces by attrition and hopefully have a back up card to eliminate the rest of their minions.

    Isn't this kind of bonkers? Just two mana for omni-rush with built-in protection. That's a big swing if you can set it up properly.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    The main problem with this card is that its dependent on you having minions on board to have an effect at all. Just imagine 2 mana to grant your board rush, will you play it?

    I'd rather just play an actual removal option that protects my minions, because even if this doesn't kill my minions they all have only 1 health so in what way are we certain they will survive at all?

    It makes it dangerous to let warrior minions survive, but even half a board full is uncommon nowadays, so at best two minions? That's just a let down to be honest.

    For 2 Mana this seems pretty crazy! Also is gonna be decent for the "Damaged Minion" Warrior - but overall seems pretty good!

    I like it because it's a board clear that actually requires some thought and setup. If Warrior board clears had been like this all along, I wouldn't consider the class quite so toxic. I give it 4 stars for design, and I don't even care if it works well.

    AMAZING card, it's Commanding Shout but instead of drawing 1 card your minions do some trades. This is very good because other cards with similar effects DON'T count as "attacking". This means you can Riot! first, and then go face with all your minions because they technically didn't "attack" yet. And this card just straight up activates Enrage and Frenzy effects without the fear of the minions dying. Yeah this is a very strong 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.

    This might be nice. I don't recall Commanding Shout seeing play, but the added auto-attack will probably change that. And if you need to kill something and it survived this, it probably won't survive another hit.

    This seems to do awfully a lot - sorta-kinda Mass Hysteria + Commanding Shout - for a measly 2 mana

    It will be an interesting combo with To the Front! and affects like that in order to fill your bord and use it as a board clear

    Bit of a Mass Hysteria but you always come out on top. Must have for Enrage Warrior if that comes around.

    Seems like a nice removal tool, so it might see some play.
