Death to zoolocks! Off with their heads!
interesting card indeed, I think warrior doesn't need any more anti aggro tools to beat aggro decks, I find revenge does the job, but it it's nonstop aggro, this will be a nice addition
I feel like this should have been a paladin card. It fits more with the theme of paladin than warrior and paladins need a good 2/3 drop to help in the early game and this could have possibly been it. And warriors didn't need another good card.
I think the fear was making Paladin too good overall. With a card like this, it would fit in those aggressive divine shield decks (Steward of Darkshire says hello) as an extremely powerful counter to other aggressive decks without giving up much of anything and it would still be somewhat useful against most other decks aside from miracle and classic control since those two deck types are the ones that use the fewest minions.
We just got out of a meta with the secret paladin cancer decks everywhere. I think Blizzard was just too scared to make Paladin the "big kid on the block" again.
That said, I do agree that this would probably fit Paladin better but I think Warrior does need something like this to survive the early game a little better.
I think they also made the decision based on the thematic aspect. I think they will be releasing more chess-cards and paladin has already one. It'd be weird if Priest had the bishop and Paladin both the Horse and the Pawns, for instance.
If this gets popular, more Warlock Zoos will use Hellfire.
Except Hellfire will kill your own board as well (at least most of it in zoolock). Demonwrath or shadowflame might be better counters.
For dem dere Bolster decks right dere.
i love this card, im already trying to use bolster on a Y'shaarj taunt warrior. if you get at least 3-4 minions like this and bolster, you're good to go.
Interesting. Solid aggro counter - and you could probably do something really interesting like comboing with Frothing Berserker and Whirlwind which would never work - but the millionth time you try it, and it does, you just might actually hit for 16 burst. Nope. That's bad. Card is decent, however.
Capture the hounds
Save King Garrosh! - random orc pawns
Let me guess, it's going to summon 1/1 WHITE Pawns. Stop the racism! :P
If it would be white for being the first player, black for being the second player , then it would be nice, like a real chess
but i doubt blizz will bother with something like this xD
Nah, just good old gay pawns.
Basically this does 2 things: It's a defensive UNleash the HOunds to stop zoo and token decks from rushing you down, and it makes Taunt warrior a lot more realistic, since the previous issue was that you just wwouldn't get enough taunts on the board to actually make Bolster worth it. NOw you got a 5 mana combo that can give you up 7 3/3s...
Good! Now we finally have a viable archetype deck for warrior!
