Warrior is dead thats fine, I can play other class but the way they disrepect their customers and their own game by destroying this great iconic card make me wanna slam a waraxe in that dumbass Ben Brode head. I spend 3000$ for this game but I consider quit this game right now, becaise the way they treat us is so insulting.

Lets count good 2 drops for warrior... Armorsmith, ehm ehm well just her

I'm not a warrior fan and I hate CW and PW, but I'm pissed off!

blizz just ruined warrior's identity. Warrior must have the best weapon and it has to be a basic card. If warrior doesn't come with weapons then why "ARMOR UP" ?? The classes that come with a 3 cost weapon have also a better hero power!

As for warrior's decks, warrior is the only class that doesn't have a "more than good" classic/basic 1 drop/2 drop to play!

We are literally forced to a priest meta!! 

GUYS, LITERALLY

BLIZZARD LITERALLY HATES ITS USERS

LITERALLY FORCING AT ACTUAL GUNPOINT A PRIEST META

LITERALLY

So, it is now a worse King's Defender. Blizzard destroyed the card.

And it was about time.

They could have changed it to only being able to attack minions, instead of this.

Well this probably makes that annoying orc in the final karazhan battle a bit weaker. Only heroic i still have to complete bc i always ragequit after 3 tries.

Between best and worst weapon is only 1 mana it seems.....RIP Win Axe

 Keep in mind: Basic cards should be simple and clear.

Was way overdue imo. It was a card you werent able to play around and was abused for facedamage often enough. Question remains if they shouldnt remove whole classic set anyways from standard.

So is the cry about not being able to kill Northshire Cleric on the turn it's played?

If it's in the best Priest deck, then yes, it's a threat that needs killing.  Perhaps you could remind us what control warrior does on turns 1-3 other than armour up and play the worst weapon in the game?  Not that control warrior is entirely playable in this meta, but hey.  Or any Warrior deck other than the one just nerfed by this nerf.  Way to create a new worst class - nerf its only viable deck archetype.  Or should we be cheering right now?

It's tragic, that WARRIOR now has the worst weapon in standard, but you keep the best one's title also belongs to warrior, it just moved to other cards

And which 'best weapon' might that be?  Arcanite Reaper?  Gorehowl in the unplayable control warrior?  Scourgelord Garrosh brings a powerhouse weapon, yes, but it's on a legendary card!  It should be special.  Truesilver Champion, Rallying Blade et al are laughing at you because they actually have synergy with their class and Paladin has a large number of useful early minions.  Aggro Warrior is made up of neutral cards!

Can't be too surprised that so many people are angry.  How many times have we seen Pirate Warrior make the front page again and again and again?  I'm so excited for this change, make warriors be creative for their 2 drop for once.

Someone told me about the recent nerf so i visited this forum again ( haven't played hearthstone in 6 months ) , incompetent balancing team , nerf the base identity cards , keep the expansion cards strong . 

Glad i ditched this mess of a game , feel bad for 100 euros i spent on it 

I think it's fine.  It can still be used.  You just open with n'zoth's first mate instead of coining out an axe on turn one.  Then coin out the axe turn 2 or play it on 3.  Not going to kill pirate warrior just slow it down a little bit.

They should have given Fiery War Axe some additional power if they were going to increase it's cost. My thought is it gets +1 attack after the first swing or if it kills a creature. True, this allows it to be buffed, a power of pirate warrior, but trading (if you go with the later option) is not something pirate warriors are likely going to want to do.

Alternatively give it something extremely minor like "Counts as an elemental when played" thus playing off the name.

so I don't like this nerf, because in my opinion it hurts control warrior as much as aggro, when they could have nerfed the giant weapon of warrior to hurt aggro, and I don't really like the choice of hurting pirate warrior right now anyway. Pirate warrior is easily dealt with by a lot of decks, and it was one of the few decks that actually had any chance against jade. Nerfing the entire meta equally is not a solution to the meta being crap, it just means things that weren't in the meta now might have a better winrate, but that is generally not enough to make a huge change in the meta. If they just nerfed jade druid and no other classes got nerfed, the meta would probably move to make the other decks they nerfed here less relevant. Because people would try to play jade, encounter actual problems, and jade would be kind of like quest rogue was. It would be scary at low ranks, but at legend it would be rare, as it could be easily countered. And the aggro decks would stay in the meta, but there is so much that can deal with them that can;t deal with jade druid, and so the meta would get interesting.

Oh good, let's destroy Control Warrior even more.

I got an website error the first time and it guess it posted it twice! lol
