Not a bad card at all. I'm sure control warrior will find a good way to use this.

An interesting card that i'm sure will find a place in at least a couple of classes - looks perhaps most promising in Secret Dragon Paladin?

Dragon Paladin continue to look better and better. Very pleased!

I hope that this card can be enough to give some fuel to zoo-lock deck. A buff plus a spawn of 2 1/1 it' ok i guess

🧂 is comiiiiiiiing !

Pretty solid card: taunt, 8 life to stop agro and generate value. We will see it a lot in the future meta probably

It's not a super flashy card, but it's a solid taunt. This card can be a nice addition in the right deck and meta, and the dragon tag add some extra value

As 1 mana 1/3 with an interesting effect can be an auto-include in all hunter deck (except for ultra aggressive face hunter maybe). Pretty strong card

Yes, 5/5 for 5 "do nothing against 6/9 classes" will obviously be a cornerstone of every deck ever.

How are things at R20?

Super bad stats for this card, I don't really see this getting any play outside of maybe some use with cards like Chenvaala. It is interesting how this card can give you any of the new 1 mana sidequests. Here are a couple good hits from each class:

Paladin could get a couple secrets and cheap buff cards.

Mage has a bunch of nice 1 mana spells.

Druid has Floop's Glorious Gloop, Worthy Expedition.

Hunter has Tracking or Secret Plan.

Priest has Power Word: Shield, Mind Vision, Cloning Device, Holy Smite and Embalming Ritual.

Rogue has Togwaggle's Scheme, Deadly Poison or Pilfer.

Shaman has Lightning Bolt, Earth Shock and Blazing Invocation.

Warlock actually has lots of good hits, namely Mortal Coil, Plague of Flames and Soulfire.

Warrior has Shield Slam, Omega Assembly and Devastate.

This is just some of the cards it can give, it certainly is a decent card but I don't think you will ever dedicate a deck slot to include this guy. Probably only see play in decks which can abuse 1 mana spells or found through discover and random effects.

Very nice list. Don't know if it could have relevance but hunter also has some ping spells whose extra generation could be abusable in a Malygos deck.

Of all classes, warrior could potencially be the one to make the better use of this card, since it has the smallest 1 mana spell pool and most of them are control or card generation tools. In a control dragon deck this card has the potencial to be the "new" Omega Assembly in terms of card generation and opponent hate.  Warrior still is one of the few classes that can afford to waste 5 mana in a weaker body in order to prepare for a future better turn.

If your deck have some dragon, this is an autoinclude. 2 mana to draw and get a cristal is so strong that can be the point where start in the building of druid's deck for next months

2/3 with instant 3 armor is really good. And the lackey is good too...buuuttt i was hoping for invoke in warrior or the tag dragon... not this time...

I'm surprised this isn't an epic instead of, I don't know, Dread Raven. But I'm glad they make tech cards accessible 

Absolutely amazing. I LOVE these kinds of hard counters to busted strategies i.e. Skulking Geist to ruin Jade Druid, Demonic Project or Dirty Rat for most OTKs, etc. I doubt you'll see this card run much like most tech cards, but whoo boy all you need is one game wiping out 2,800 armor off a Druid for it to be worth it. 3-star card with a 5-star feeling.

great card in STD for warrior, priest and mage but i think in Wild sucks

While this is a very nice card that gains you armor, a lackey and an ok body all for 3 mana, it has some competition for that important 3 mana slot in most Warrior decks.

Are you playing a dragon deck? Scion of Ruin and Smolderthorn Lancer might be a better choice.

Rush synergy? Scion of Ruin and Rabid Worgen want in.

More of the aggressive type? Frothing Berserker and Bloodsworn Mercenary are stronger.

Bombing some fools? Clockwork Goblin and Augmented Elekk are the ones for the job.

Drawing cards? Acolyte of Pains body is ready!

Galakrond deck? Scion of Ruin is a must.

So again, it's a nice card, but Warrior has a lot of strong 3 mana minions that can fit in lots of different decks. Also Warrior doesn't seem to use lackeys all that much unlike Rogue and Warlock. I'm not saying that it won't be able to find a deck, it's just gonna be a little harder than just auto including this in any Warrior deck you make.

 

Cause you can run a maximum of 4 3 drops in a deck

Yeah I guess at first that was the direction that my comment was going for. What I was trying to say was that this card doesn't seem to be good enough to compete against the other warrior packages.

This minion gives you armor which is good for control and a lackey which is better for getting tempo/value, so I see it being used in a control deck.

So you are going for a control Warrior? In standard, you'll usually want to pair it up with something else like a mech, bomb, taunt, dragon or a rush package. Also you'll want some draw so might as well get an Acolyte of Pain and/or Shield Block. After considering those things, I don't think you'll be looking for another 3 drop.

I wasn't trying to say that you can only run four 3 drops, but that this card just doesn't really answer any major needs for those decks. Also Warrior doesn't have any Lackey synergy cards for a lackey package (for now that is) so its just going to be more complicated to find a good reason to include this card in your control Warrior deck.

just so you know, 3 cost cards are the best cards to have the most of in a deck cause you can play up to 3 of them late and they are good early so a deck with a good curve can have up to 8  3 drops and be fine...

Yes I get what you are saying it gives armor and generates a lackey.. armor is mostly a control thing, generating a lackey is aggro/tempo

I played Livewire Lance in rush/enrage(RIP enrage keyword) warrior pre TOT event and it was good actually lackeys are good in tempo warrior decks for obvious reasons but tempo warrior got no use for the armor as much as control warrior does.

So I agree about this card just having better cards that do what it tries to do better and they are more specialized.

Maybe there will be a warrior card that cares about lackeys or tempo cards that care about armor, there are 5 unknown warrior 2 are for sure invoke gaalakrond cards, 1 or 2 are pirates and then 1 or 2 care about armor or lackeys maybe.. or maybe I am wrong and it's 3 pirates..

This is probably the last chance for cards to generate/care about lackeys.. team 5 said it's a year long mechanic.

Was going to make that point about the number of 3-drops you can play turn 9-10 but you beat me to it. 

Cable rat teach us that lackeys are way to good for the generator body to matter, and shield maiden showed that armor generation on a stick is warriors favorite candy, so put them together and you have the formula for the perfect warrior card, flexible enough to see play in many different decks.

YES

The card Ysera, Unleashed will add duplicates to your deck. It's a dead card until quite late in the game.

a dragon + lifesteal + refuel a dragon in your hand is amazing. 

Great card, not because it will break the meta and be used in all deck, but because it will keep armor staking deck under control. And now especially with the rise of highlander decks, it's really easy to include one of in case druids or warriors start to prevail too much in the game.

Thank God Blizzard introduced this card.

cya warriors, finally

Odd rogue and secret mage love this, druid is concern and warrior just uninstalled, there was a infinite armor shaman with shudderwock that was niche, This card will wreck wild it will be interesting how things go with those control decks
