Check out more details on The Grand Tournament, including a list of all the currently released cards!
does nobody consider turn 5 Inner Fire into tournament medic ? this was my first idea and it sounds not bad at all.
U can do it already with Baron Rivendare for example, or Oasis Snapjaw or Mogu'shan Warden ... do u see that happening? No.
Sure its "just" 28dmg, so not a true OTK, but i dont think it will be any different.
Synergizes with Patron, but not in a good way.
And now Lightwarden will have some uses for other classes.
This is also good for Warlock. A Soul Tap until this minion dies, and it will still trigger the effect of some cards like Floating Watcher
Control Warlock? I can see this being a thing
very good for priest, depending on what else we get this could replace healbot etc
Should be something to consider in Arena.
I really dont like this card. If I am going to have a 4 drop have 1/8 stats it needs to have something REAL good about it. The restore 2 hp isnt.
only 1 new card today boo!
Will pair nicely with priest, heal minions and heal self.
most definitely
If it had 2 attack, it might see play, but like this it will not, not in any serious deck anyway.
we will see with other cards released, but the stats r so horrible, i dont believe it.
Sure, but handlocks want to lower their health (so they can play Molten Giants), and zoolocks want to control the board. This card doesn't help with either of those goals.
Part of the reason handlock runs Molten Giant is because it can get it out early against aggro. Frost Giant can't do that; against a face hunter you'd just have a dead card -- and a dead warlock. Assuming you hero power on every preceding turn (using coin on t1) and you don't draw a Garrison Commander, the earliest you can play Frost Giant is t5, and it will use all your mana, so you cannot put up a Sunfury Protector or Argus to protect you. Having a taunted Molten Giant up on or before t5 is not especially rare. And if you're getting beaten up badly enough to need an early Giant on board, a t4 Tournament Medic is not going to help either your board position or your health total much at all.
I like how my previous post has been apparently been downvoted because somebody doesn't understand the deck. That's his problem, not mine.
That is of course possible, but so far I'm having a hard time imagining a deck where Tournament Medic helps the player achieve his win condition.
Frost Giant is definitely going to change the giant meta.

^^^^ this just by watching the show matches I saw how dead of a card frost giant could be...
Damn this card sucks ass!
