I think a bolster-pirate warrior is possibly coming. Pirate warrior is a fun deck and is already somewhat playable. Often it's problem is that you take too much damage with all the weapon heavy combos. This plus bolster could be a Mid-late game "wall" to allow for a last push of damage
I can't believe this shit. The first really good card and it's for the class that already dominates the meta. This is just stupid, I swear to god paladin, priest and rogue better get some killer cards in this expansion.
Tempo warrior card, maybe we will see bolster warrior, I like it because while lots of tiny guys is really powerful warrior has to change how they think and play to use such an effect, I like the idea of protect the king whirlwind with frothing on board. Probably will see play.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
Blizz wants to finally release a card to help out Bolster decks (if that was even a competitive thing...) combo this with 2x Bolster and your opponent has 3 or 4 small minions and you just made a insta-board of 3 or 4 5/5 taunts. Haha.
Outside of that may not see much play if any...could see some play in arena just for taunt value.
This card is bad. Several people have compared it to Unleash the Hounds, which has the same mana cost and works in the same way. This is obviously inferior to Unleash to a significant degree, since with Unleash, you decide how you want to trade. With this, your opponent decides, and the pawns are extremely weak to any kind of board clear.
I don't think this card is good even with Bolster.
I've played quite a bit of Hobgoblin / Bolster Warrior recently, and I don't think I would include this card in my Hob-Bolster deck. It's just too reactive and situational. The goal of that deck is to maintain tempo and survive the early game, then throw down a bunch of cheap minions and buff them. Very often, this card won't get much value from this particular card, as getting just 1 or 2 1/1 taunts for 3 mana isn't good enough value. You don't want any more potentially dead cards in your hand in a deck that is already very combo-orientated to begin with. As for aggressive decks such as zoolock that flood the board, well, you'll probably destroy those deck anyway. You don't need to tech a Bolster deck against aggro when you're already extremely favored against aggro.
This card is also bad in Arena. If you ever get good value from this card, you're probably already screwed. Playing this will only postpone the inevitable.
I feel like this should have been a paladin card. It fits more with the theme of paladin than warrior and paladins need a good 2/3 drop to help in the early game and this could have possibly been it. And warriors didn't need another good card.
Unleash the TAUNTS
Guess warrior will keep being the best class to play HS.

Could be good, i dunno...It's no UTH. Seems like it would be good against zoo, but then you remember they run voidwalkers and imp gang bosses.
Yaay a new archetype for the less played class.... Kappa

Really nic boost of bolster
Bolster approves
Sounds fun this card.one of the better cards released atm
AJAX AMSTERDAM
This would be pretty sweet against Zoo , and once again as with all new cards we should take a wait and see attitude.
So many times cards are deemed bad or unplayable and it turns out different then was expected.
New content! I love it gimme stuff!!... gimme some balance and aggro relief! (C'mon a guy can dream right!)
The hilarious thing is that most people are voting that the new Prince card is better then this LOL. Protect the King is much more viable.
Helps counter against Zoolock. Their minions are rarely big enough to handle 7x 3/3s. Unless they use Hellfire of course.
Seems bad compared to Mirror Image, but of course, classes matter. Still, I think they could've got away with it being 2 mana.
Bolster warrior with this card and Cyclopian Horror could be really fun. I'm looking forward to testing out Bolster decks again!

Hey guys, a note:
Imagine if Warsong was still a thing.
3 mana 1/1s with charge that can be bolstered.
Yeah, fully understand why warsong was nerfed.
As for the card.. it's anti-zoo mostly along with similar minion filling decks.
One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.
