Quote from BlizzardThe courageous deeds of champions have long served as a source of inner strength for others, and witnessing a hero’s gallantry in action can be enough to inspire even the lowliest of squires to great feats of strength. In Hearthstone’s second expansion, The Grand Tournament, a host of minions are just waiting to be inspired by your actions!
Today, we’re taking a look at the new keyword, Inspire.
The new Inspire keyword triggers after you use your Hero Power, and affects any friendly minions on the board that have the Inspire keyword. Inspired minions can gain stats, attract additional allies to your cause, and so much more. If there’s one thing a Hero can always use, it’s more allies!
Argent Watchman might not look like the most fearsome of fighters, but he’s just waiting to be inspired to new heights. Make use of your Hero Power while he’s on the board, and he’ll take flight to take the fight to your foes!
Hero Powers are primed to be more important than ever in The Grand Tournament. Prepare your monologues, clad your steed in its finest barding, and inspire your troops to great victory!

Don't see the purpose of this card. There are plenty of 2 drop 2/3 that CAN attack with awesome effects, like mech warper.
it's okay
Somehow the news is more or less the same about hero powers again. Well, I do not like the card so much. needs a condition to be activitated, but worthless if the activator costs 2 mana. if there is no card which is cheap + reduces the hero abilitiy to 0 for one turn all the inspire going to fail imo.
Another card that is utter garbage. It only becomes halfway decent if taunted up (Ancient Watcher is much better for that purpose) and T3 hero power is like the biggest tempo loss you could probably aim for, especially considering that 2 attack is probably not even enough do deal with the opponent's 3-drop. In fact this card is so bad, I probably wouldn't even consider running it if it could attack indefinitely after hero power was used. I don't know what Blizzard is thinking...
Meh card.
A semi-viable alternative to zombie chow, quite nice if coined out turn1, could eventually be a good sunfury/argus target. Not amazing, but I like it!
Meh.
Biggest problem with this card and all other inspire cards realy is you play it on 2 and on 3... you just heropower instead of playing a 3drop like Fjola lightbane or Darkbane? sry not gonna happen.
What is Blizzard thinking... they expecting everyone just to drop inspire minions and somewhere on turn 8 or 9 a heropower and get value from whatever minion is stil there? Stil waiting for some cards that actually makes players able to fit in a few hero powers between turn 2 and 10.
well you can skip attacking on turn 3 and drop minion you want. Not a big deal. Enemy is still need to consider this creature even if you don't attack with it on turn 3. And if you don't have 3 drop - well you have an option to activate it.
this is like ability to gain a card with Northshire. You can skip your turn 2/3 to draw a card or you can play a 2/3-drop instead.
skip attacking on turn 3? ever heard of Zoo and Face hunter?
You ever here of control warrior/paladin/priest, miracle/oil/mill rouge or freeze mage? You don't need to be attacking in the early turns to win the game.
I don't see why people would even consider adding this to an aggro deck seeing as its obviously made for a more controlling deck.
