Shieldslam... I dont have this card, but on the account of a friend I made control warrior, almost the same list as the one that I have. He has shieldslams, but unfortunately I cannot play with this card... It seems that when I am behind, I cannot do anything with it, because my armor is too low, when I am winning, there is nothing to slam...
What are your thoughts about this card, and how do you play it? I have the feeling there is something wrong with my reasoning...
Also the new warlock card that insta kills warlocks with shieldslam wont be played so often would it?

My thoughts about it is that control warrior is basically unplayable without Shield Slam. If you're behind and don't have any armor, you play Shieldmaiden or Shield Block into hero power/Shield Slam in general.
Yeah, exactly! You have to think of it like a combo card. The game plan of everyone when fighting control warrior is to rip off armor so they cant get good shield slam value. That strategy will work too! Assuming you aren't careful and hold onto shield block or shieldmaiden in order to combo them together. Sometimes you have to play shieldmaiden because you need tempo. But you should never throw out shield block just to cycle or because you have extra mana. If you think of it like that you will have a bit more luck I think.
