Seems a bit too conditional for my taste. If you're down 15 health you're usually in danger and even if this helps you stabilize it won't get you back in the game. At best you can try and use it as a pseudo-Inquisitor and hope it lives a turn to go face.

Seems just a tad too slow for the current meta but I've been wrong about these things before.

I just discovered that the good old Frost Elemental in Classic is indeed Lokholar, the Ice Lord

Interesting card. A "board clear" with potential to setup a big minion. the problem however is the fact that there are not that many 1 health minions around. The only decks that uses 1 health minions are: Dude Paladin (With questline) but that deck has plenty of divine shields, and then we have rat hunter which isn't that good. Heck, most of token druids minions have 2-3 health. So i don't really have too much hope for this card, unless there will be a lot more 1 health minions.

It might be a good arena card though, because you can trigger honorable kill multiple times. If you get some honorable kills with the battlecry that will be great, and you can trigger honorable kill again when you trade it into another minion.

Coerce is better because of the combo, but it also rotates next expansion which will allow Snowed In to replace it guaranteed. But even now, i feel like Snowed In might just make the cut in control warrior because of the freeze effect. The freeze effect right now is pretty good with all the aggro decks going around, and it might just stall you another turn.

I'm looking forward to seeing all the other cards warrior will get this expansion, so far slow/control archetypes have gotten a LOT of tools!

I would play this in Questline Paladin. 

Seems like a good minion for a bunch of decks, just as a filler kinda minion. The problem with Ivus, the Forest Lord is that Ivus is very... Random. You kinda never want to rely on Ivus, because he's so unpredictable. Imagine being on 5+ mana and NEEDING that rush, but your unlucky and dont get it and lose the game because of it. Reliability is really important these days, and i feel like Ivus might not be that good because of he isn't reliable. But that being said, he is very flexible so that might save him?

The only deck in which Ivus might be a must-include is most druid decks with Wildheart Guff because he can be a giant stat bomb with rush, divine shield and taunt. But even in that deck, Ivan requires games to last for a long time. 

Honestly, the Darkshire Councilman is not a very good one, because there is a huge difference between summoning minions and killing them. You could play a Darkshire Councilman on an empty board on 3 and expect him to rise to relevancy on 4 with any card, you can't do it as easily with Flag Runner, you need exactly the Rushing tokens.

There is one exception, though, and that is Sigil of Summoning, which curves way too well into Flag Runner. So, if the 2/2 statline becomes more impactful (the meta has too many 3 Health early game minions right now, though), Flag Runner will probably see play.

If it kills more than 1 minion "honorably", which attack is gained? the first one? or random?

All of them. I've seen a gameplay video where this killed some 2/1s and ended as a 9/8.

Thanks. Got confused with the wording of the card "that minion" suggested something singular

5-drop with 8 health is already pretty strong IMO. I feel that this expansion has really high power level.

If you survive past turn 6 in duels when you have 20 health that's already an achievement. Its sort of like the discard cards like Blood Shard Bristleback. Sure you get a free win easily, but the card gets gradually worse later on as you get more wins.

A very interesting condition indeed.

Probably more relevant in wild where evenlock can get to 15 fairly easily. In standard however, its not as straight forward. Even questlock struggles to do it by turn 5 courtesy of the many healing spells they have. It does work with Vandaar though, so you can potentially have this at a cost of 2, assuming you're at 15 health at that time.

Maybe in zoolock? You can get to low health really easily and having an 8/8 windfury on 5 is fairly devastating.

Then again, if you're at 15 health and below by turn 5, that's basically just prime pickings for any sort of burn or aggro decks isn't it? And this card really isn't going to do anything the first turn its played other than remove two minions.

Huge Evolve highroll in Standard right now.

The 15 health condition doesn't immediately sell this card to any currently existing deck in Standard, even though Warlocks love messing with their Health total.

I wonder I we can see some Priest shenanigans with Apotheosis... probably too clunky to be viable.

Moreover, the effect states that it costs (5) less, and not (5), so Granite Forgeborn can help. Oh, and maybe Celestial Alignment shenanigans? I am just brainstorming at this point ahah.

On a final note, in Duels you start at 20 health total, so you just have to lose 5 health to get a 5 mana 8/8 with Rush and Windfury, which is gross.

Autoinclude in any Wildheart Guff deck

The power creep is real. Witching Hour and Eternal Servitude crying in the corner. Need to see more valuable beasts that would warrant resurrection for this spell to be good.

What in the.... O.o : l o.O.   < First reaction.

Actually strikes me kind of cool and balanced. Lion's Guard  is hated for the times it goes off but the truth is it often gets stuck in hand as a card you wish you didn't draw. Pretty much same story here. Go underdog stories if you can draw this on time!!

So... I guess you play this guy in a secret heavy deck with lots of big beasts? Atm there's not many great beasts in Standard: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/?hsclass=3&hsclass=12&collectible=yes&standard=yes&race=20 

Also remember your opponent needs a big board for this legendary to pop off. So if you verse a no minion mage, he's useless. 

All in all, this legendary feels like it needs to belong to Druid, coz in Hunter he won't see play.

I'd say Coerce is better because of the trigger issue. This card, whatever it's name's gonna be, has a bigger upside... But it's too finicky where Coerce is much easier to cast. They're both rly good and if an endgame exists both could see play in a deck.

Can't wait for more Frost Warrior synergy :D

People are saying this is better than Coerce, but one of the best parts of Coerce is the combo part that makes it so you don'T necessarily have to damage to activate it.

Then again, Frost Nova in Warrior sounds huge.

Feels like there'D be some additional support for this. Other than that it's probably terrible, Warlock has better bordclears and this just isn't worth it.

Token DH support when most of the support was moved to wild 😒 Might be good on Standard rotation when the new Core set is introduced, but other than that, won't see play.

Has potential in Duels where you have the illidari HP

Guess we're powercreeping Dread Infernal these days.

I remember Dean or one of the other devs talking about Frost Warrior being a thing when spell schools were released. Guess we get Frost warrior earlier than expected and AV is a good expansion to introduce it thematically. 

As for the card itself, it has Execute + Frost Nova all in one card. That's pretty decent, considering it has the same cost as Frost Nova and is an excellent stall card for control warrior
