      No, "fluffy" is the site's traditional placeholder text when the card name wasn't revealed in English yet and there is no reliable translation available.

    Comes online a bit later than Oasis Surger (maybe), but has much higher potential to put pressure on the board.  Buffing this with Galakrond is some serious value, but is mostly a lategame play.  Getting the base effect without handbuffs ain't too shabby though, a 9/6 with rush for 3 gives Warrior even mroe ways to clear the board if nothing else.

    I really like the design of this one, playable on curve, but not broken, but useful in the lategame as a cheap removal tool.  Well done blizz.

    Rush makes the minion fine on it's own.

    The battlecry makes it stronger, but not a necessity to hold onto, it can (and should) be played on curve

    9/6 rush for just 3 mana... Tempo warrior seems more and more like a thing. If this gets +4/+4 from galakrond it is even more insane.

    This card´s true value will depend on us getting low-mana warrior invoke cards. It is very stronger latter on, but not as broken as 3 3/2 rush by turn 3 or 4.

    Great card. Playable without having invoked twice, total nuts if you have. Drawn by Galakrond is insane! What I like most is that you can't pull this off too early since you have to invoke first for full value. Once we've seen all invoke cards, someone can calculate the absolute earliest this can drop with copies, assuming perfect draws.

    Nice invoke lover, excellent when drawn from Galakrond but otherwise not so good.

    On the other side, Kibler finally got a dragon Pog!

    A little too late to the party but rush warrior needed something like this to stay viable. The two invoke requirement means this will likely stay in the hand for at least 4-5 turns, but if it gets buffed even once, the tempo swing along with Spirit of the Rhino would be immense. Even without buffs, its decent enough to replace Restless Mummy as long as you invoke twice.

    Getting a copy back with dragon breeder is just so much value against aggro or midrange decks.

    Rabid Worgen was a 3/3 rush wich was played

    This is a Dragon, so that alone makes it better since enables dragon sinergy(like getting another copy with Dragon Breeder

     

    But its pretty bonkers if you meet the condition, and even more if you draw this via Galakrond's battlecry since then it's potentially 3 7/6 with rush for 3 mana

    I rated this card rather low. It has low mana cost, but won't be playable up to the midgame. While then it will be strong, you still had to wait for severall turns, else it's just a rabid worgen.

    This card will carry tempo dragon warrior all the way up!
    Dream scenario: Draw with Galakrond, the Unbreakable and summon three 7/6 dragons with rush for 3*
