Love your idea, but coming from a chess perspective, i should be 'Unleash the Pawns'
The why is because of the Chess event in Kara in World of Warcraft. It's named after the Kara raid event. A good name for the card if you ask me.
May not be great but I'm still trying out bolster warrior
Wait... why is he protecting the Horse and not the King in the artwork?
i believe its your perspective. rather than look at the pawn as protecting the knight, you should look at it like an action shot of two pieces on both sides charging into/already in battle, and it shows the pieces protecting their king, from a broader point of view.
I like the card overall, but I think it's a bit of missed opportunity. I firmly believe the metagame would have benefited enormously from a slightly more Aggro-oriented card design:

I'm trying to convince people this card is poo. This card is WAY worse then Grim Patron. Grim Patron is a way more consistent combo. Grim Patron only requires you to run one card that sucks by itself. Grim Patrons are way harder to deal with. Grim Patron doesn't rely on your opponents board stat, which is something you have no control over, to be useful. Grim Patron is useful against all decks not just Zoo style decks.
When was the last time you saw a Grim Patron?
This + Bolster = kind of Mirror of Doom for 5 mana. Seems very good.
Exept it takes 2 cards, while mirror doom is just half a card.
yes but Mirror of Doom is a 2 turn play,.
Pawns: "Protect the king!!"
Hunter: "Unleash the hounds!!"
*snarling and screaming pawns heard afterwards*
If think Protect the King + Bolster is really good I have got an op combo for you! Inner Fire + Divine Spirit!!! OP! OP!
The best part of Inner Fire + Divine Spirit as your running two trash cards combo of choice is that you do not have to be losing the game horribly to only specifically a zoo deck for the card to be useful!

Unleash the Pawns seems pretty good with a Bolster or two to back it up. Just be glad Warsong Commander got nerfed way back when.
Play this against a zoo deck and use Bolster.
I will definitely try it. Just like I did with Blood Warriors and Tentacles for Arms
PS: Blood Warriors does pretty good on my N'Zoth KT Bolster Warrior wild deck lol
please don't say R.I.P tokken Druid, Swipe says hello :)
A tad less powerful than unlease the hounds on its own. Consider that for 1 mana you getStonetusk Boar or a Goldshire Footman (which has better stats than a pawn), and I'm pretty sure that Stonetusk boar gets play more than Goldshire footman.
This card is terrible. I agree.
The opponent has to have 4+ minions for this to be decent card. It is only playable against three decks in the meta. If you think the Bolster + Protect the Kings combo is going to be consistent enough to play your dreaming.
Also the dream scenario is what? Your playing against a really strong aggro zoo deck and on turn 5 they have 4+ minions for you to get value out of this card. Guess what? If your playing Zoo and they have 4 to 5 minions on the board on turn 5 your probably losing pretty badly. Getting 4 or 5 3/3 taunts on the board is pretty good. The Zoo deck is probably still going to blow through that get right back to crushing you pretty quickly though.
I don't want to be a Grammar Nazi, but you wrote "your" instead of "you're" EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Then don't. You don't have to be a bad person Wailor. You can allow other people to have fun around you. You can have friends. Only you can set yourself free from this obnoxious narcissistic need to correct peoples grammar.
