Pretty good control card. Helps a LOT against aggro, because you can trade the tokens into the minions your opponent plays. Also Mor'shan Watch Post has some REALLY good stats, which makes it very sticky. Aggro/midrange decks probably can't clear it immediatly when you play in on turn 3. Also remember that Defender of Argus is in the core set, so you can turn 3 Mor'shan Watch Post into turn 4 Defender of Argus. That can be quite annoying for aggro/midrange decks to get rid off.
I'm glad to see so many anti-FACE tools, hopefully i can finally have some more fun in HS instead of "survive hyper aggro, the stress filled 'adventure'."
We haven't seen a ton of frenzy cards yet, so it's still a bit hard to judge exactly how powerful this will be, but clearly [Hearthstone Card (High Overlord Saurfang) Not Found] is great deal of value for the cost. It's so good, in fact, that it makes Razormane Raider - an otherwise boring "mechanic showcase" type card - look like a surprisingly strong in Warrior.
Not even comparable to Ogremancer, because you need to be way ahead on board for this to be impactful
You also need to be ahead in board with Ogremancer... This tower give +1+1 to himself. So if you want to kill it by spells you'll need a really powerful one. Plus this has better stats than ogremancer, so if the opponent trade his minions will take a lot of damage. That's way better than Ogremancer.
Thats a decent card which played with some synergy (the legendary one for exemple) can do some good stuff and pop up a new archetype.
No Ogremancer is fine if he is the only minion on board and you are not fully ahead... he also generates taunts which is relevant actually.... This one buffs your minions, and for that you need to have some other minions, Ogremancer is fine if he is alone...
Hmm, this might see play in midrange decks if Libram paladin or another spell based class is popular in the meta. Ogremancer might be "better' in terms of creating taunts, but from the times i played Ogremancer i always wished i was able to play it on turn 4 instead, so in that sense Crossroads Watch Post kinda has the edge over Ogremancer.
I think Crossroads Watch Post will see play in more aggresive/midrange decks (Even though it can't attack.), while Ogremancer sticks in control decks.
Most of the cards need a lot of setup to work correctly, which means lots of the times, you will sit with mediocre stats, and not being able to trigger your abilities
Hmm interesting card. Seems kinda weak, BUT it could be a sleeper card? The watch posts we have seen so far are kinda annoying to remove, and have good stats. Also the meta IS slowing down from what i see, so the watchtowers might be a lot better because of that. I think that some of the watchposts might see play, but i'm not sure if including Kargal Battlescar is good enough.. YET. Kargal Battlescar MIGHT be bad/mediocre now, but im 100% sure were going to see alliance themed watch post cards in the next expansion, so that might make him better. And obviously probably some more watch towers in the 3rd expansion, i guess. I kinda like this watch post archetype though, seems fun to play.
Still the ability to throw down a LOT of stats is REALLY good and shouldn't be underestimated. After all, most Rogues/Mages use Jandice Barov in order to throw down a lot of stats. Don't sleep on Kargal Battlescar, he might be better than you think.
Edit: I have seen a lot of people compare Kargal Battlescar with Soulciologist Malicia, but remember: Neutral cards are often made intentionally weaker than class cards.
Now frenzy is a thing, thats the type of card we want to play a new keyword. Just make more good frenzy card and we'll see this keyword around the meta for sure.
This will be a nice legendary for this expansion, but depending on the long-term plans for Frenzy, it could become kind of a boring one, only usable when you use the same support cards over and over. I guess there are always very specific legendary cards designed just for one deck, just never my favorite style. I do know I'm likely to spend the next year or two "Wow" emoting every turn 7 Saurfang appearance, haha.
Nice card, can be played in a control deck to make value. But with only 2 watch post it won't be enough, we at least need 3 to summon 6 5/5 at best. I also hope there will be more watch post synergy else this card alone will not make the archetype live.
I like the fact they print new "buildings" with more than 0 attack. If it drop turn 3 it can be powerfull but played later it will just take a spell on it. That said, force opponent using a 5 damage spell on a 3 drop may be good, its hard to say. But if there is more watch post synergy this could see play, not sure the legendary alone will do it.
Another thing is, in priest this can be silenced to just be a minion with a big body that can be healed and trigger healing effects.

In a class with some draw potential this would be scary. In Pally it's a little bit weaker, but still playable. I mean it's 1 mana, you can squeeze it into any turn.

I doubt this will be competitive...

Very underwhelming for epic.. needs a lot of setup AND opponent to play favorably to you.

New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
Its a finisher, play a lot of recruits then kill the opponent like we did the good old day with totems and Bloodlust
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
Does frenzy activate before of after the +1+1? Because it could see play with Blademaster Samuro
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Nothing more to say, a good support for an healing play style

Warrior resurrection? wow, how does that even work. Is he just yelling to corpses to stop being lazy or something ? ;)
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Not sold on all this frenzy. Maybe it works, but don't think will be high tier
New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
In a class with some draw potential this would be scary. In Pally it's a little bit weaker, but still playable. I mean it's 1 mana, you can squeeze it into any turn.

With the new elemental that restore 8hp to all allies can deal a massive aoe. I like It.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Death Speaker Blackthorn
