I actually really like these Riff cards, cool concept, and feels good when you start rolling. Would have loved to see a payoff legendary, maybe in the expansion set..?

An epic 6 mana card worth 14 stats is typical of the long list of underpar warrior cards. What does 3/4 and 4/3 stat minions achieve on turn 6 (same turn Imp King Raffan can be played) ? The rare 8 mana Arcane Defender Mage spell gives 22 worth of stat with taunt and spell immunity. That's 2.75 stats per mana v 2.3 for this puny card. It should at least be 3/5 and 5/3. Or this will just join the already large pool of never played warrior cards. Who will ever craft this ?

I feel like this is the weakest Warrior Riff, since it can be hard to have 1-4 Mana after turn 6 to guarantee this gets the Finale effect off. On turn 6 it is pretty much perfect, but I think there would be better plays

I am hoping for a riff that spends the rest of your mana, guaranteeing it always gets the finale off. Or something that reduces the amount of mana your riffs cost for the rest of the game. Or something that fills your hand with cheap 1 or 2 mana cards. Because you are right. Riffs only seem valuable if you can always get the finale off (after the first one you play), and 6 mana seems hard to do. I guess on turn 8 you can always hero power + play this. But oof.
