  • 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.

    Friendly Staff

  • Could have been 3 mana.

  • I don't know, sounds very slow and it's just 3/3's

    wont sure about 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

  • too expensive 

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

  • Seems easier to multiply than previous patrons,

    especially since its effect can be triggered each turn.

  • Everyone, get in the lab!

  • 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.

    Friendly

  • 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.
