shield maiden is 6 mana :>
As if 4 mana 5/5 dragon is not impressive.
You need to hold the card upside down to get a better perspective why 2 cards merged into 1 is better than 2 separate cards.
the power lvl of hs has changed. 6 mana 5/5 gain armor was good enough for that time. Thanks to OTK and Infinite resource decks we cannot rely on it now
But control warrior wasnt made against OTK,and i'm not sure what you mean by infinite resources(like i cannot think of a viable example of infinite resource other than shudderwock) .People didn't use shieldmaiden to counter combo decks.The power levels changed,it's true.But why do people play odd warriors?To make the game harder by not playing executes or Lich Kings?That armor gain probably means something if so many people are playing it(with a solid winrate).
To be honest i dont think that this card will be super good,but if there will be a control dragon warrior,this card will probably be included.And also i didnt want to prove that this card is meta dedining,i just didnt like the way you explained why is it bad.
Peace!
ahhh nb. Shieldmaiden is a great card and this is better.
That's what I was waiting for... Goodbye, Shieldmaiden, you were run in every control warrior deck but you have finally been replaced.
Don't think so at all actually. You need dragons to pull off this effect, and control warriors are really picky with their cards.
I think a 5/5 for 5 that adds 5 armor just might make it work. Also, Control Warrior of (very) old used the Alexstrasza/Grommash Hellscream combo and that's already a dragon you want to run regardless. Also, Smolderthorn Lancer which can finally give odd warrior Execute and War Master Voone, there are only so many dragon synergy cards you can have while still saying "I don't see dragon warrior working".
Edit: Just to make sure, I do realize 2 of the cards I mentioned are Even and can't be run in Odd Warrior, but it's worth considering just plain control instead of odd when all you have to take out are the 2 least important cards I mentioned.
but Voone is 4 mana. you can't use him in Odd.
hmm yeah, good point.
True, so is Grommash. But those are the 2 least important cards I mentioned and you can certainly build a warrior without them (taking 15 damage on turn 9 is pretty substantial even without the combo for any deck, unless heal Paladin actually becomes a thing)
Armorsmith for 5mana FeelsGoodMan
I like it: no niche usage or an off-putting statline, just a perfectly-serviceable 5/5/5 Dragon with 5 Armor.
It's a bit flat though, especially with all the dragon teases for warrior.
While it's not the most exciting card, an archetype needs "flat" staple cards to form a foundation with. This could also be just the start, if Dragon Warrior is further supported in the next expansion. That's how I justify it, anyway.
Are there enough good dragon cards to make Dragon Warrior good?
Well, that's certainly one of them...
I think the dragons deck of old sometimes had as low as around 7, which is pretty easy to do as long as you have a couple of aspects (Ysera, Alexstrasza) and a few god midrange ones. The early game might be an issue, but on the other hand, seems like Odd Warrior could also run those.
So I guess we'll see, I'd sure like another good dragon before all the cards are revealed.
DELETED
Very nice
Oh my god, they finally made a good dragon card for warrior!
