Hand-buff for warriors! Sure control warrior will be back in all its glory!

Handbuff Warrior? Not really interested.

Xaril, is that you? What happened my friend?!

Good card, it will be fun to experiment with it, doesn't seem to strong

Not sure what to expect until we see all poison cards. A pity it's not odd...

I hate it already. 5 Stars.

I prefer this Watch Post to the other, it might be good in certain swarm/token decks where you want to prevent your opponent to kill your board with small AoEs.

Good disruption tool, especially if you already have a combo in hand!

It's worse than Smuggler's Run until T5. And even that didn't see play. 

No it's not, and yes it did see play.

Warrior minions befenit a lot more from handbuffs than paladin minions.

Decent card for card generation value stats are ok tho

I really hate this, and don't feel cards like this should be in the game. What's intended as a counter to combo (Tickatus and this) also works as a counter to control decks BY A CONTROL DECK. It prevents other control decks from effectively being explored. Granted, running this card in Control Warlock takes a little more thought and some of the new cards, but they have Neeru Fireblade as a win condition (along with Y'Shaarj).

Kibler joked that his favorite classic card buff was Tracking because he no longer had to explain to players that it was good. Even when this doesn't truly affect the game, I'd argue that players hate the feeling of their opponent burning cards even if it's equal to randomly not drawing them that game. And when it does burn a legendary or spell that was one of your outs, it's going to feel terrible. It's one of those cards that's really bad for the game if it ends up being good.

Why are they printing Hunter cards in DH this expansion, do they really have no idea where to go from there with this class ??

Nice disruption tool, but won't see play outside of Discard Deck archetypes in Warlock (if it becomes a thing) or if a combo deck breaks the game.

Love the flavor of the card and art such a good value at 2 cost

Because OTK DH and *insert upcoming OTK deck* will kill you before you kill them with your ultra slow win condition without this card

The card would be insane in other classes, but in Warrior I'm not so sure..

Great card with a lot of value, I'm wondering what the last poison will be. It seems maybe a bit slow for an aggro rogue which is the archetype usually relying on poison, but I might be wrong or we even might see a slower weapon archetype for rogue.

Xaril, Poisoned Mind flashback. Not game breaking, but it could be handy at times.

Xaril didn't see nearly as much play as people pretend in this thread. And trust me I know because I crafted golden Xaril day one.

For the most part he was too slow and unreliable, and never saw any play in Wild.

This is slightly better, but still way too slow for rogue.

Why not just draw your poisons with your insane card draw instead of generating them with a terrible body ?

Plays a bit like Ogremancer but I don't think it's nearly as good since there's not that much decks it counters.

I like to see a new neutral archetype, but needs more support.

Not a great card, but for the mana it´s ok I guess.

Quote From GameTheory345

I don't think this helps the fact that the problem with handbuffing is that you gimp yourself for a turn to get a better turn later. However, that also means you basically passed a turn and your opponent gets 2 turns of development. Glowstone Technician worked in standard when it got buffed because you could hit massive deathrattles like Mechano-Egg, you got a 3/4, you just benefit from playing bigger magnetic minions and you get to run Kangor's Endless Army. Warrior needs some better handbuff targets, some better ways to handbuff or something that allows you to regain the tempo loss from playing these cards (exhibit A: Animated Broomstick, the all-purpose card that makes any jank worth considering whether it's viable).

and also needs better card DRAW.

handbuff palladin works becuas 1mana draw 2 that tutors  and divine favour.

Quote From Nevin

But at 2 mana, I think you can play it without much tempo loss. Hell, once it’s at rank 3, you can play this card and follow it up by playing a couple buffed minions on the same turn. 

but rank 3 REQUIRES 10MANA

A bunch of vanila 5/5 minions is not enough to be good at t7 (at best), they need taunt/rush to be viable.

Nether Portal on steroids. Not sure if it´s worth it, Lakkari Sacrifice looked good on paper too, but it wasn´t very played.
