[card]sunfury champion[/card] and [card]light of the phoenix[/card] is something that needs to be printed in order for warrior to be anything more than bottom place on the tier list. The latter especially. Warrior draws like shit, a main concern for the longest time since DoD rotated.

Warrior looks decent now, nowhere near the top I'd imagine, but at least …

Good in control, fairly useless in all others.

The main problem is that its baseline stats aren't anything spectacular, and the fact is that in aggro matchups youre highly unlikely to ever hold cards in your hand just so this one card can gain value. Especially if that card doesn't win you the game, which this doesn't.

But …

Its really 50-50 to me because there's really only very few minions that actually synergizes with the additional stats like [card]mor'shan elite[/card], and that card hasn't seen any play at all.

But the best part of the card is the weapon you receive. On one hand you'd much rather have [card]imbued axe[/card] in aggro-midrange decks any day, and on …

Its the sort of card that looks good in theory but in practice you might as well just rely on [card]imbued axe[/card] to do the job. Because in many cases if you actually have a board of damaged minions with axe you just win. This card is just a win more, much weaker rendition of that card.

Redundant at …

Straight up busted card, essentially an [card]arcane intellect[/card] that can reach 0 mana.

Going to be seen everywhere where there's a warrior. Mostly because warrior has little to no draw, but also because this is just a really solid card.

Its [card]risky skipper[/card] but triggers with fire spells instead of pirates.

Probably going to see this everywhere because of [card]light of the phoenix[/card]. Also useful to clear smaller boards, something which control warrior currently suffers somewhat from.

Is there any shadow spells in warrior anyway? even if you get it via asvedon its just a dead card in hand.

Probably crap if Im honest.

Because we have to ask whether including a river croc to the deck is actually a plus. And there being so many other 2 drops that are better, I just dont see why anyone would include this in. Even if you can play a turn 1 undead minion, this would need to die or …

If this cant be cheated out then its absolutely trash, even if for some reason your hand if filled with completely OP minions.

Because at the 10 mana range most decks are in prime condition to end it, usually within 1-2 turns, and if your riposte is to clear board for 10 mana then Im afraid the game has …

There's so many problems with this card. The first would be obviously its incredible mana cost of 9, which means its unlikely to make an appearance never mind win the game.

And secondly, the effect is doubtless powerful, but is also impractical against all other classes except for maybe hunter and paladin. Because if this doesn't kill a taunt …

If for some reason you're running shadow aggro priest then this card would be your number 1 mulligan, assuming you can somehow get another shadow spell ready.

Although in hearthstone 2022, Im not exactly sure how good a 2/3 for 1 would be exactly. Seems like nowadays if youre not pushing a 3/4 on 1 its not going to …

Big shaman support.

But more would be needed. Because it kinda sucks really. Shaman needs at least 2 other removal option, one of them being a wide AoE that will deal with medium sized boards, at around 5-6 mana range. If they dont get that then I dont see where double 2/3 wolves with taunt wouldn't just get your …

[card]Sister svalna[/card] may actually turn out to be the [card]lady in white[/card] of this expansion.

Because there's an obvious level of power with being able to constantly generate shadow spells every turn, and since some of them have lifesteal we can argue for that 3 mana you get an infinite supply of value from removal to healing.

But …

Its to juice [card]wretched exile[/card]. Not really worth anything else in standard because the stats is bad and [card]skull of gul'dan[/card] is no longer here.

The outcast cards currently lacks a finisher, which is why this card can't really do much more than add more outcast cards for exile to get even more outcast cards. Its very likely that …

There's a lot of reasons to believe this card to be playable in all but relic decks. 2 damage for 1 mana, and the next outcast card cost 1 less. If ever there's a nice support card for a bad description this card would be it.

If the outcast archetype works, this card would be one of the main …

Its [card]whirlkick master[/card] for outcast cards.

But unlike that card, this one has a fair chance of actually making a deck tier 2. There's a good deal of cheap outcast cards and with [card]fierce outsider[/card] you may be able to get somewhere around 4 cards from turn 5-7. That's good enough to juice [card]vengeful walloper[/card] to at least playable …

Here's those outcast cards to make [card]vengeful walloper[/card] happen.

There is a likelyhood that it may happen because of [card]wretched exile[/card]. Most of the current crop of outcast cards are fairly cheap, with 3 out of 10 outcast cards currently costing 1. The most awkward outcast card being [card]vengeful spirit[/card].

Reminds me of combo rogue back in DoD. …

Disruptive spellbreaker is the only consistently good card here.

But more concerning is what exactly is warrior's identity this time round? Because the class has very few options in the meta right now, and these cards dont help either of them. These cards dont really reveal much other than making one very big minion and crossing fingers.

4 mana to do nothing, for a bigger taunt that will then be removed by one spell.

Yeah, Im not rating this card's chances. The only way it can work is that you need to tutor a very specific card and coincidentally it has taunt. Otherwise, considering that youre paying 4 mana to draw one card, this card is …

This card is scary as hell.

Basically a mutanus for spells, and at 5 mana. The only mitigating factor here is that its not a battlecry and therefore cannot be brann-ed, and you cannot play according to what is being discarded. Dont even bother thinking about value because there's absolutely no way this card will ever survive more than …
