Interesting card.  I'm not sure i'm too high on it.  The tempo is ok. Nothing special but 4/7 with taunt is solid.  The question is just how much value are you going to get out of it and what kind of decks does it go in.

There isn't a single class taunt for warrior right now, and the neutral taunts are much more weaker than they were during year of the raven.  There really isn't much taunt in the meta in general right now.  Obviously this expansion could add some good warrior/neutral taunts.

This is obviously nuts with Zilliax but is there anything else?

I'm starting to see the potential workings of something with this, Witchwood Grizzly, Amani War Bear, Oondasta, Akali, the Rhino since there is some rush/beast/taunt synergy going on there.  Other than that nothing stands out in standard.

Also, about the age-old rethoric about "Priests in Wild are forced to Big Priest as the only decent deck for the Class, and that's why BP is so popular", well, there's the counter-proof:

Here I am :)

It seems a bit contradictory to consider an Inner Fire deck "nearly T1" and in the same time call out the rise of Quest Mage: with all the freezing effect and Ice Block I don't know if a minion would be able to hit the killing blow, if you don't start with an explosive hand and close the match in the very early game. The Mind Blast variant seems more reliable in the actual shifting meta.

They're both pretty strong vs Even Shaman (thanks to the Dragon package) but against Odd Pala they may struggle in the mid game if they cannot close the match at that point: the endless army of Silver Hand Recruit buffed up may overwhelm them.

Imho, If I have to immagine a run from rank 15 to 5, I would probably suggest to go with Big Priest instead of any of those two other archetype: it requires far less effort anyway, even if it has a win rate a bit lower.

The mana/stat-line is good enough to be playable without losing too much tempo. I think this has to buff two targets to be worth it. Not the best card, but an entertaining-enough build-around.

They sure want to make Taunt Warrior a thing, it is crazy strong with un'goro Quest in wild if you go with taunts only.

Warrior sure has a number of taunt minions.

But it doesn't effect the meta that much in standard unless taunt warrior is gonna be a thing.

An objectively solid card, but doesn't really have a place.

I mean... is it viable now ? Ofc Warriors run Taunt minions, but for this to be good they'd have to run a decent amount of them. Nice addition in Quest warrior imo

Cannot get points for joining discord server. Bugged maybe?

Mr. Chu could be part of the quest art. 

I think the other problem is actually caused by the length of my username, so you probably aren't seeing what I'm seeing. Right now, "Home" seems redundant though, so there's one way to make more space.

is this deck doable iwth out the floop`? if yes whats the replacement?

Oh yeah, I love quest warrior!

Welcome back Taunt Warrior, just what the class needed, another control deck 😂

Zilliax approved warbeast

I love this so much. It's adorable and actually seems like it could be amazing in the right deck. I fully intend to find a way to play with it.

Ragnaros didn't stand a chance when I stole Golemagg on turn 2 with Rafaam's hero power. I almost felt bad for the old firelord.

Also, come on Blizzard, check your spelling (Raffam).

5 dragons and 4 cards that require a dragon on hand. A handful of mechs and 3 magnetics. Also, I feel that Zul'jin and Emeriss are hard to combine. Too many conditional combos that make me think this deck needs choices rather than options.

You should really get rid of the mechs or the spell synergies to get more consistency in this deck.

... thankgod this ain't a Mech

So cute!

I'll give it a 3 for mechanics, but a 0 for flavor. Dons't even look like it fits the theme to me and could be a random card from any card game. I know Dr. Boom did it, but it still seems very forced.

Ouch! Scary for the late game, warriors are painful enough at the moment :P

Looking forward to seeing what other cards they have to combo this.

6/4/7 is a decent stat for a taunt minion, not to mention the buffs that it gives out at the end of the turn.

however, unless there are good taunt cards this expansion, i don't think this'll see much play in standard as the current warrior archetypes do not include many taunt minions.

It may be just what is needed to push quest taunt warrior in wild tho. 

I am a sucker for a good pun.

I wonder if this is intended to give Taunt Warrior some more Standard presence, or as an offering to Wild. I'll certainly be glad if we don't see any more Mechs for Warrior for a while.
