Wow, I completely missed that if it's true. I just thought it only had a deathrattle if it died on your opponent's turn and was off otherwise. If it's symmetrical then it's a lot worse :/.
Okay thanks for clarifying, but why wouldn't other classes want 4/3 removed?
you eventually have to either get rid of it or have it run into a taunt. letting it hit you twice is worse than killing it and letting your opponent get 6 armor.
Armored Volcan(ic|o) (Warrior|Knight)
Something along those lines is what I expect to see out of the English name.
Aggro decks are still playing the board control game at 3 mana, and would usually love to trade up into a 4/3 with their 3/2 or a smaller minion with a buff.
This card should often force them to make the choice of either giving you better trades than you would have otherwise, or giving you 6 life. That's certainly better than a vanilla 4/3; it's basically a 4/3 with stealth or gain 6 life depending on their choice.
But they would be if it was a vanilla 4/3, that's the point I'm making.
Which would make it a 4/3 with stealth, that you can use to kill, for example, Frothing Berserker. And if they kill it to stop you doing that, then you gain 6 life. So I wouldn't dismiss this card so quickly.
Some aggro decks would. Would a shaman let this alive for it to trade free into flametongue, mana tide, stonehill defender? Also let's say it's at 1 health, would you ping it or would you let it trade extremely favorably against something like thing from below, auctioneer, kabal crystal runner etc.? Pirate warrior would probably never trade with this though, unless it's to protect his 2/4 frothing.
It would be useful against Pirate Warrior, I think. If the opponent trades into it, you prevent damage and gain armor. If they don't, you can trade it in versus Frothing Berserker or Naga Corsair, which are usually hard to kill because of their 4 health. Or you repeatedly bash their face with it: because Pirate Warrior relies so much on weapons to cut down your board, they tend to have low life totals, so winning the race to 0 life is feasible if you can do 4 extra damage per turn.
The best card so far thanks bye
