blizzard hate pirate warrior so much Gluttonous Ooze [card]Golakka Crawler
[/card]
I think it's safe to say that Blizzard really got the message this time around.
Tech cards should be made as a 'just-in-case' for certain metas, of course if the meta has no weapons this won't see play, but if it becomes a meta of 50% weapon classes then this will exist to make sure they don't run away and dominate the game like they have previously.
The point of this card is to stop Pirate warrior to begin with. If pirate warrior dies then it indirectly did it's job by completely removing it from the meta. If it returns this card will see play. That doesn't mean this card isn't good enough, it's just more situational - Harrison Jones for example.
know what else would stop pirate warriors ? blizzard nerfing really strong cards and it would leave this slot open for something else right?
6 classes play with weapons.
Geez. This seriously just straight up breaks Weapon Warrior. He had his run for awhile.
Because Jades are part of one expansion, if that expansion leaves the standard cycle then whatever card they created to stop/reset jade's counter will be useless because it's the preceding expansion and that's EXACTLY what they want to avoid. But this doesn't mean they can't come up with a counter for jades, as long as it's not specially targeting jades.
You could argue "but they made cards to stop pirates such as that crab" well that's because a good chunk of the pirate cards are from standards and won't rotate out.
If a pirate card got too over used or affected future plans for the game, Blizzard will piss it off to the Wild garbage dump. Ragnaros and Sylvannas are two such cards.
Finally! getting Shield Slam in Priest or Rogue doesn't feel that bad anymore!
I think I just came after see this card
Problem is the only weakness of Jade are super fast deck, unless they print some wacky anti-token card.
Like "Battlecry: Destroy all tokens" or "While this minion is on the battlefield, minions can only be summoned by playing them"
Now we only need something to counter jade golems and I'll be pre-ordering this expansion for sure
I'm pretty sure the collective, simultaneous orgasm of hearthstone players who saw this card revealed on stream today was so powerful it caused another typhoon somewhere in the Pacific
Looks like this is getting the same reaction Eater of Secrets got last rotation.
Except Secret Paladin rotated out of standard as Eater of Secrets rotated in, hence it was pretty useless in Standard. However, TONS of decks in wild ran Eater while Secret Paladin was still running the show in that format.
Pirate warrior, on the other hand, isn't losing any important cards in Year of the Mammoth and people will definitely still try to play it in Standard come April 6th.

Someone photoshop an Pirate into his Belly right NOW! and send it to Blizzard so they can re-print their biggest Mistake ever.
obviously speaking about missed meme opportunity's with card images.
You don´t play cards for the "if it not happen" effect, if it don´t happen they´re all garbage.
You absolutely can compare this Card to Harrison, he also suckd as a 5/4 for 5mana, but he saw tons and tons of play for Ages cause the Meta were alot slower.
Now the Meta is extremely fast, and even if its slow down quite a bit, it still will be fast and you don´t even care about card draw in a fast meta anyway and thats exactly what this Card is for, the effect in a Tempo matchup is HUGE! and in a control-/midrange matchup you don´t care at all if you´ve a or 2 or 3 mana minion that does nothing.
If you rly think Tier 1 Decks which are overpowered will disappear, for more than 2 weeks, with a new Expansion, you´re inexperienced.
