New Warrior Card Revealed: Blood Razor
A new card has been revealed via The Legend of Slag on Baidu. We reached out to Blizzard to confirm the card's legitimacy so it took a bit of time to get it up here.

I want to see this in combination with old and new enrage minions. Maybe even whole enrage deck type?!
Hmmm. Might this help King Mosh see some play?
"The legend of slag" lol? The name of the page is (roughly translated) "hearthstone bar official page female admin". (For those who're interested: 炉石传说= hearthstone, 吧=bar, 官博= official weibo page, 娘(jugding from context)=female admin)
trust me ima hong konger.
ps died at "we reached out to blizzard to confirm the authenticacy" lmao... nice move, NEVER truely trust anything you see on a mainland chinese website
anyone who played with death's bite knows how strong a setup whirlwind can be. This will see play for sure.
Its kinda like 2 Swipes packed into one card, except you take some face dmg and it only deals 3 instead of 4dmg. Kinda hard to evaluate.
Oh ye, and also synergyses with the usual warrior minions like Acolyte of Pain
The legend of slag = Hearthstone (Google translation fail, again...)
Make tempo warrior great again! Gimme those Grommash Hellscream Lethals!
Nice card, can see some play. 4 mana feels little high but on the other hand 3 mana it could be too powerful.
I think this card is very good and will see a TON of play. Any time you can free deck slots up by combining 2-3 cards the power level of a card jumps (-2 whirlwind -1 weapon replace with this = insane value). This will be great in a variety of control warrior and tempo warrior lineups. Excited to play with this!
Death's Bite vs Blood Razor
Who wins the 4 spot?
Blood Razor, because its playable in Standart.
I don't know, the effect looks good, but is a 2 attack weapon. The only two 2 attack weapon that ever saw play were jade claws and the 2/3 from paladin which had a ridiculous effect. If patron was still here it would sure see play, but without it i don't believe the effect is good enough for the weapon attack on turn 4, maybe i'm wrong we will see.
Also Doomhammer and Glaivezooka.
Every whirlwind card printed so far has seen play, and this one supposedly will see too. I don't think it will replace ghoul, but warriors often use 3-4 whirlwind cards, and I assume it can replace basic whirlwind since it's much stronger value-wise.
True, but it's so important to play your Fiery War Axe on turn 2.
Won't see any play until Ravaging Ghoul is out. Hovewer, it can act as a 0 mana Whirlwind (the next turn) for some combos,
A 2 attack 4 mana weapon. If I want whirlwind effects on my deck I think there's better options.
Seems slow, all weapons with low attack for its mana cost ever printed never seen the light of play so...
Maybe there's a deck for this, maybe there isn't, who knows.
Judging it only by its stats/mana cost seems weak.
So here is Death's Bite 2.0. On one hand, Death's Bite could deal with nearly every 4th and 5th drop and this weapon cannot. On the other hand, Ravaging Ghoul is a strong card, and a 2/2 weapon with additional whirlwind is presumably stronger than 3/3 body, so it shall be good too. Plus warriors don't have any viable (i.e. not Brass Knuckles) 4 mana weapons anyway.
It seems to me that we will have a Death's Bite 2.0
Blood Razor: Mommy i am not as good as you.
Death's Bite: It's okay my baby, i come from a time where everything was different.
Blood Razor: But mommy they won't like me...
Death's Bite: Baby it's okay, everyone will like you. You are great just the way you are.
*Blood Razor walks into the standard.*
I wonder if this makes King Mosh playable in a control warrior. One of his biggest problems is a need for whirlwind synergy, but having all these extra whirlwinds could make it easier to line up that combo and clear the board. It could easily be argued that warrior doesn't need more board clears thanks to Sleep with the Fishes and Brawl, but King Mosh has always seemed like an attractive removal option to me because he's guaranteed to leave you with a strong minion on the board, unlike other Warrior clear options.
