    I think it will be hard to get good value from this due to the limit of once per turn. Here's the only scenario that might work: it's turn 3, you have no armor, so you coin this out, then play Safety Goggles. If your opponent can't kill them both, then maybe you get somewhere.

    The first time condition does indeed make it quite a lot harder to develop a board with this guy. At least in standard you also can't do much with the Patrons beyond using them as a 3/3, which doesn't make them more appealing. Cool callback, but probably not more than that.

    This will not be a real metaplayer, but you deffinitelly should not leave this alive. 2 will quickly become 4 and that is a lot for just 2 mana is just using hero power.

    I love the call back. Even more after playing the blackrock twist miniseason not too long ago.

    You're not going to set up an OTK like the former Patron combo, so this card is... eh. It doesn't even summon a copy, so buff decks are out of the question. Maybe if you're scrounging for playables in  a deck, but I'm seriously thinking if this is one of the 30 best cards Warrior can put in a deck then Warrior just won't be very good.

    Probably the most playable Patron callback we've seen... which isn't saying much because this still isn't very great. The limitation makes it impossible to build a really huge board with it.

    Bit expensive and 'first time each turn' kind of guts this card

    Feel like it's just more of a throwback card than anything playable really lol

    Disappointing call back card. The cost is off and it doesn't multiply like the old Patrons do. Weak card, not fun either. Meh.

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Seems easier to multiply than previous patrons,

    especially since its effect can be triggered each turn.

    I guess this means you better play this before doing anything that causes you to gain armor. I wonder how often at least one of them will live until you next turn, allowing you to spawn another one. Though I suppose in those cases you were already winning.

    The problem with Patrons is that they exist in a world without a Warsong Commander to really push them and Frothing Beserker back into relevancy. Sure the extra tempo is tempting for Odyn decks, but probably loses out to more control oriented builds.
