Comments
Igneous Lavagorger - Not too bad as a defensive card. From the Depths may be the go to option for control warrior right now, but I still think you can run both. Just remove something like heavy plate for it, because the taunt, armor gain, and dredge may simply be better. Its still a 3/5 taunt, gain x health. Surely not to be ignored.
Tidal Revenant - Probably not too good even in big warrior. Its kinda an upgrade over Mo'arg Forgefiend in of itself, but since big warrior tends to cheat out minions, the lack of the battlecry effect makes it way too poor a card. Warrior have better options than a middling Cenarion Ward.
Clash of the Colossals - is interesting. Because you get to play yours first, you are technically in the hot seat. The problem is that traditionally cards that give opponent stuff tends to be shit, and I can see no indication why this will change. You never want to give your opponent a colossal option because let's face it, 90% of the time your opponent will, by the grace of god, get a better colossal than yourself.
Seems very odd to say the least. LAvagorger clashes with From the Depths, You never want to play Revenant for its full cost and Clash seems like a much worse From the Depths (even though it is giga-nuts off Nagaling)
Why would anyone play armor warrior when Kazakusan is in Standard?
Igneous Lavagorger is heavily outclassed by Onyxian Drake, just because it's not a Dragon. I don't think there's room for both in one deck, and Kazakusan is a much better payoff than Dredge synergies. It also has some anti-synergy with From the Depths. I don't see this card working out.
Tidal Revenant is a buff to Warrior in Arena, but it's way too low-impact to make it into Constructed.
Clash of the Colossals has some minor potential. It really requires you to have the card on turn three so you can actually make use of that discount to cheat something out. It's fun, but I don't see it making the cut.
Overall, this is a pretty disappointing set of cards. Which is fine, given that Warrior has a top tier deck right now. I'm glad they used the opportunity to shore up their Arena lineup rather than give a balanced class some new, broken tools.
I have the exact same feeling.
Igneous Lavagorger can be compared to a 4 mana Shieldmaiden with Taunt, which is good; however, we live in a worth with From the Depths, Frozen Buckler and, as you mentioned yourself, Onyxian Drake. I still think that, right now, Lavagorger is the more playable card out of the three, but it's not that great of a compliment.
Tidal Revenant - Warrior doesn't need to pay 8 mana for some Armor. The card seems a like a jack of all trades, but I don't see a single reason why a Constructed (so both Standard and Wild) should play this).
Clash of the Colossals - Forget about the discount: why would you give your opponent a free Colossal?? The card is flavorful, but nothing more.
