1 mana deal 9 damage. The potential of this card is thru the roof. However, every opponent knows that even the smallest minions can be a threat when you're playing paladin, so it's far from guaranteed that you'll have 3 minions on your side of the board when your turn starts. Maybe this can be a finisher in dude paladin. Odd Paladin's faith in Wild has already been sealed when turn 10 comes along, but 6 damage might just be good enough already.
So far, I believe the only worthwhile frenzy minions would be Barrens Blacksmith and Razormane Raider. I like this card and expect to see it and other frenzy cards take up the slots that will be empty after rotation in Enrage Warrior. If it still can squeeze into the meta after losing Bloodsworn Mercenary.
Brings 2 minions back and trigger their frenzy. Then deal damage to your opponent's board.
There's simply so much this card does that its not possible for this to sit on the sidelines. Will probably find a place in most warrior decks, assuming there's better frenzy minions down the line.
I'm not sure whether the 1 damage will affect the minions he brings back, but I figure it must since he specifically brings back frenzy minions.
Bringing back Barrens Blacksmith is pretty insane, especially if he triggers her frenzy immediately. Another good consideration might be Razormane Raider, which will at very least provide some cover, even if inconsistent. Goes well with the blacksmith as well.
Surely this card can get even better, as more frenzy minions are revealed. For now, its just so much in one, its going to see some play at some point of time.

Looks too clumsy to me. 5 mana is a lot and then you need to do something extra to trigger its effect. Clearly not impossible, but you would rather be doing something else. This isn't very good in Arena either as this is a win-more card, while generally, comeback cards are a lot better these days.
Ogremancer is becoming popular in control decks as a tech against Rogue and Demon Hunter. It's actually extremely strong for that purpose, and that's about it.
Love the flavor, but it's one single payoff card in your deck that might give you a strong turn only if you've committed several weak turns earlier in the game. Not to mention, there's no immediate impact whatsoever. None of this stuff has taunt or rush, so you're just leaving your pants down way too often with this deck.
Isn't it interesting that Flamestrike is a 7-cost spell that now deals 5 damage to the enemy board?
Mor'shan Watch Post is the better of the two. Its pretty hard to find a deck that doesn't play minions in it. And if you manage to get it out on 3 and your opponent can't trade into it, its almost always going to get you a 2/2, which along with a must kill target, isn't altogether a bad result. I personally think people are sleeping on this card, but we'll find out when Barrens is released.
As for the Crossroads Watch Post, its only bad because Ogremancer is the better of the two. And its significantly easier to find decks that dont really play any spells, and without taunt in those matches, its just trash levels of bad.
On ogremancer, its only appearing now because masters tour featured lots of players playing this to counter rogue and libram pally. But honestly, its more significant in scholomance when the meta is mostly small spell mage, rogue and control priests.

Very nice statlines to force your opponent remove it

New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Razormane Raider or Barrens Blacksmith seem like the best resurrect targets for this. Need some better Frenzy targets.
Overall I like this card. Bring back and trigger Frenzy cards is a cool effect.

One of the better ranked spells

Nice solid card

Two card boardclear!

So much done with one card.
I'm not sure whether the 1 damage will affect the minions he brings back, but I figure it must since he specifically brings back frenzy minions.

New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Decent card with great synergy with frenzy activation. Should be fun!
New Warrior Minion - Warsong Envoy
Sure, it's a 1 mana 1/3, so it can't be bad. But unless a tempo/aggro Warrior pops up you'll mostly encounter this card in Arena.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
A new Legendary Warrior Minion, Overlord Saurfang, has been revealed!

Gamespot Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Demon Hunter Card - Death Speaker Blackthorn
I think any class would prefer that.
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
This card is completely bonkers. My prediction is that heal effects will be added to decks primarily to be combined with Xyrella.
New Rogue Spell - Paralytic Poison
The hammer is overkill.
New Warrior Minion - Warsong Envoy
I came here to ... give you +1
New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
That's going to hurt ... yikes!
New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
If we're talking about Wild, this is a 5 Star card, just because of Odd Paladin.
Standard wise, I'm not sure, but it does feel like a solid card to put in just to close out the game or make some better trades.
