So effects are pretty strong. Also you should remember u have smaller pool of maps in standard. Funny card who need an update every expansion. I'm curious how long can this go on?
Another stat-stick. Do I smell the return of recruit warrior? This card is probably worse than ragnaros in any deck that wants a big minion that throws out damage, just because rag does more face damage if the board is clear, but the 3/3s are good.
I'm definitely picking that up. It's one of the few card backs that I fancied when I first joined Hearthstone. Never thought the day would literally arrive where I can actually get my hands on it!
5 health and it's 4 mana... Might see play in highlander decks i guess? This generally has to survive a turn to make use of it's effect, unless you have a 0-mana spell in your hand. The only deck that MIGHT consider using this is Libram Paladin (Not Pure version, and because of 0 mana Libram of Wisdom) This might replace, or get used alongside [card[Wild Pyromancer? (Even though the Wild Pyromancer + Equality combo is 2 mana cheaper)
No immediate impact on the board, so it won't save you when you are behind. On the other hand, it's a stat stick pretty much impossible to deal with without silence or transform.
With the above in mind, it's obviously a card fitted for control warrior. It's promising, let's see if they'll reveal more card to bring back this archetype.
0 mana spells should always be looked at carefully, but this one just seems mediocre.
The comparison to fire fly is probably correct, except that this card cannot fit into odd decks, so maybe this goes into some sort of spell-based paladin?
I can't imagine running this in an aggressive deck.
Why do they keep pushing these high statted vanilla minions? Sure they may be balanced or a little weak, but overall they are not very interesting and the space they take up in a set could be saved for an actually interesting card.
Cool to see such an iconic car back return. It's not the fanciest but definitely holds significance in my books - back when most players had maybe 1 or 2 card backs to choose from, this was very exciting surrounding the expansion launch. :) plus, I love equipping this one at Halloween! :D
Also, I've played from the start on and off so I'd like to see the option of more card backs returning for gold.. there's so many I've missed!

Considering this card has good aggresive stats, AND this is going to be a spell based expansion, i'm sure this will see play in every aggro deck. Every aggro deck LOVES the ability to stall out a board clear by one turn. After all that one turn can be enough to get lethal. This will see so much play, and this card is actually really good in Corrupt the Waters Shaman, because it's a battlecry.

Patch 17.6 - Scholomance Pre-Orders, Battlegrounds Updates, July Card Nerfs
it was just meant as a joke, depending on what that thing ends up doing most of the time it could even be a bonus to some decks

Sees play only in big warrior, if that exists.
