- If your board is full, Varian puts drawn minions into your hand. If Chromaggus is on board, you'd get a copy of the minion. (Source)
- Minions will be played onto the board if your hand is full. (Source)
- Like all minions summoned to the board, minions brought on by Varian don't activate their battlecries. (Source)
Dude, you're talking about Varian Wrynn here. He is big and strong, no smaller body please. This card is great.
The mana cost of this card isn't a problem since it's Warrior. The expert class in prolonging the game until turn 10 and beyond while maintaining control.
A powerful card indeed.

I'm not sure a 10-mana card (with no cost alteration mechanic) is a good idea. Yes, there is Deathwing, but that's sort of his thing. Other than that, the only 10-mana cards are Mind Control and Pyroblast, both of which were NERFED to that cost, which sort of illustrate exactly why it's a bad idea: The Hearthstone team's favorite method of nerfing overpowered cards is a simple mana cost increase, and they can't quite do that if a card already costs 10 mana.
Not saying I think it's overpowered, just a more general design observation/concern.
Varian Wrynn + Kel'Thuzad + Grommash Hellscream + Ragnaros the Firelord = Blizzard's "Back to Back" reply to all you Meek Mill ass TGT haters
Me am happy! Me want to thank everyone at Lizzard Company!
Theres going to be a big reveal stream on the 14th, I'm assuming a large chunk of the left cards will be revealed. Then they will release the left cards a couple days before its out, should be out the 25th.
Cry more F2P players. Kappa
Hahaha made my day.
Right that's why for the 2 or 3 months leading up to BRM Fibonacci held the number one legend spot with control warrior...
I'll play 2 Doomsayer and this for the emotion of playing dangerously Kappa
epic trolden videos incoming
Next turn, you can use Recombobulator on it. 1/3 chance for Deathwing.
33*
you guys forgot about the existence of Frost Giant
Awesome card ! I expected a taunt legendary since warriors now have Bolster and i tought Blizz wanted to introduce a heavy taunt warrior constructed. But if you run a lot of taunt in the deck and pop 1-3 taunt minions, that would be a great synergy against aggro (if you survive turn 10) or if you are losing the battlefield. That is also really useful against a control since you draw three cards.
Drawback: You lose the battlecry effect of your cards like Shieldmaiden but you still get a big body on the battlefield.
I really like control warrior and I'm gonna try it for sure!
so if it was 10mana 7/7 draw 3 cards it would have been good ...
but then you play all minion you drew for free .. that's beyond good .. THATS INSAAANE
this and Aviana are my favorites so far
This is really good. I mean, unless RNG absolutly hates you. And, it encourages less controlly type play (Think about it. Control runs a lot of spells and is more likely to whiff on this, aswell as if you play this in Control you can get owned by a board-wipe, or even fatigue)
..... However..... Varian serving Garrosh?
I think this is very much a control card. Control is largely based on gaining card advantage and playing monstrous value creatures in the late game, this card does both. No matter what he draws you 3 cards, if you happen to draw another one of the huge creatures that control plays then you have an even more dominating board presence. By turn 10 with an aggro type deck you would want to be close to winning the game with smaller creatures in my opinion.
