Pirate Warrior? 90s kids remember the old Control Warrior, or as he was more commonly known "your turn 2-3 don't matter"

wow, i don't know if dragon hunter will become a thing, but this one sounds OP to me

I don't think this card should be compared with Faceless Manipulator... this card has a entire different role.

This card is meant to be a very good early game minion with insane value, I believe it shouldn't be compared to anything else. Why it doesn't need a comparison is because it's probably the best 3 mana minion of all cards, if not, it's still probably right there on the top 10 list... yes, it's THAT good! But not as a priest card.

An example I could make would be Emeriss from Hunter, it is incredibly bad card for hunter, we all know that. But everyone would be playing Emeriss at that point if it was accessible to other classes, we would play it even it's incredibly slow, and even it's just handbuff... I think it would see a play. Mindflayer is very similar to that, insane early game minion which heavy control priest doesn't benefit alot from it.

I'm not a priest player, so I would rather hear other main priests' opinion from this forum, whether I can safely disenchant it or not. But seeing someone else comparing this one to other card that have an entire different role... doesn't make sense. Like when did the faceless manipulator saw some play in the game? I have only seen it on lucentbark druid deck, and it doesn't seem to be a thing in any priest deck, did I miss anything in doom of the tomb meta?

if it can go face, it's a hunter's weapon

deepest lore

I'd like to mention Carrion Drake which is a pretty T H I C C midrange dragon that opponent's can't value trade into (assuming it activated).

I think they were going for an alternative to Eaglehorn, which is basically the same: a 3/2 weapon that occasionally gets extra charges and allows you to trade/pressure, but if it doesn't you're not depressed about it.

This is better than Eaglehorn, because you can at least control when to get the bonus off (play this on 3 and swing, play a dragon on 4 and swing again and already you have gotten value out of it. If you break it on swing 3, so be it, if not, then hey, even more value)

Weapons should never be underestimated, especially when we're talking about a class that does very well at applying face damage over time.

so it's just a cheaper mindcontrol, right? 

The thing about weapons is that you can decide when to attack or not. You can keep this at 1 durability for three turns and then play a dragon, effectively giving this an extra durability. Most of the time, this will be at least a 3 mana 3/3 weapon, and it is not much harder to make it a 3/4, or even a 3/5. This card will be a serious help to dragon hunter. This weapon will be able to deal lots of damage for little cost. This is a nice card to have because now hunters won't have to run the secret package in order to get a good weapon. 

Variety is always nice.

A shame this won't have an animation of the hammer flying against the enemies and returning to the weapon slot. 

And on a side note... Kurdran/Falstad for the next Hunter Hero portrait? *Hypingforsomethingthatdoesntexistyet*

Underwhelming. the wording suggests that it doesn't keep buffs (obviously, since it summons on deathrattle) so what's even the point?

Putting Reborn on it or kill-reviving it does nothing so it's basically a 3-mana Faceless that you need to kill to get a benefit...oh and ofc you need to kill the opponent's minion as well.

The fact that it's enemy only is just the nail in the coffin. You're gonna have to jump through hoops just to make this decent. LIke, what am I going to use this for against Quest Shaman? Copy that spicy Lifedrinker?

A cheaper Chillmaw, but enemy minions only and no taunt. While its not bad the body is decent and your opponent can kinda play around it.

Interesting minion. He can generate some value, but i think we must see this card as "piece of combo". We must see all set before we can leave a correct analysis

Quote From UnGoroh

Obviously this doesn't have taunt. Cards needs to be somehow balanced, ok? This is a strong card in the right deck, not just in every deck.

Chillmaw likes to say hi.

I too remember the oppressive turbo Chillmaw meta of '86

Very very interesting card. Hard to evaluate too. The statline/mana alone makes it competitive, so all you need is a greedy deck with predominantly high-cost cards and this will find a home there.

A 3 card combo that... DEALS 3 DAMAGE TO THE ENEMY BOARD!

There are 4 card combos that OTKs the opponent for crying out loud.

Ah yes, that classic Deathrattle Priest that randomly gets support once in a blue moon. I remember when Chillmaw was occasionally run, but at least that thing had taunt.

Even if you put Reborn or Shadowy Figure into the mix it'S still a pretty slow and unreliable "boardclear"

At best I'd run this in some weird Deathrattle/tempo build where the focus isn't so much board clear but board denial (noone's gonna go wide while this is in play.

Still, at this point Priest has enough decent Deathrattle minions, but no real gameplan. What do I do with all these guys? There's no N'zoth, no Amara and no actual win condition.

Pretty good minion. 5 mana for 4/5 plus 3 aoe damage is crazzy. Auto-include in all "dragon priest" 

In super big decks it could be playable i guess, super niche card though.

The effect I say is good, but kinda slow. Fun Fact: This Guy is actually from Legion's Violet Hold Dungeon. The same Violet Hold we go to in Dalaran Heist.

I gave Chronobreaker 3 stars but then I saw it was a deathrattle instead of a battlecry and tunned it down to 1.

Did World of Warcraft change to allow Hunters to use Hanmer/Mace type weapons?

i get the goal of trying to untie the identity from Warcraft as much as I think it sucks. But now you’re gonna alter class identity too? Just change the damn weapon name and image.... ugh team5 blows

Well it could be better than Doomsayer if you buffed it so it won't die to its own effect.

Slow AOE but since it the effect doesn't kill your own minions its absolutely crazy against aggro. Almost holding aggro decks to ransom over hold two silences or they simply just don't win. The effect is very very slow, but if you're not going to die the next turn you play this then this card is just too much stuff in one.

Of course, it can get silenced and its not a taunt. And that is probably why this card is unlikely to attract an angry mob demanding for a nerf.

Hard to say where it belongs, but I like the effect none of the less.

Yeah this is definitely the new Prince Keleseth when played on curve.
