Good in Shaman too, because of Al'Akir the Windlord, Thing from Below, Earth Elemental, White Eyes, Hot Spring Guardian.
EDIT: It's even better, thanks ;-)
Jade chieftain doesnt have taunt tho
Card is great in Wild Reno decks, Discover the exact taunt minion you need at the moment. Used with Brann is basically gg.
This card deserves a lot more attention that it was given. Most streamers just went "won't be played" and moved on. That is true, this probably won't see play in constructed, but this little guy is a real threat in Arena. Especially for Warlocks and Warriors. Because he can discover (and of course, is 4x times as likely to) your class cards Tar Lurker and Tar Lord. Both of these cards are Arena mvps as they are over statted for their costs and quite difficult to deal with. It can also find Tar Creeper which shares that quality. I rate it a high priority pick in Arena as Warlock or Warrior and an average quality card in arena as other classes.
This card in midrange pally is completely nuts. I'm getting almost every time Sunkeeper or Tirion or Burnbristle. Totally worth it!
Yes, I can't agree more. I've played a few extra arenas since posting my last comment and I must say my opinion of this card is only improving with each time I play it. There are SO many good taunts in the game right now. Hot Spring Guardian, Sunkeeper Tarim(which basically turns the defender into a hard removal aslong as you have stuff onboard.), and The Curator which, even if you didn't pay attention to beasts/dragons while drafting, will pretty much always draw atleast a Beast and sometimes a Murloc/Dragon. This is an awesome sleeper card.
Edit : Also the fact it can go infinite on itself, this card is glorious.
loving this in my paladin deck
This is so strong in Paladin and Shaman. The class taunt cards are money.
I'm starting to see this in several of my quest decks when theorycrafting......who said it had to be just for the warrior quest deck? It can be potentially quite the headache alone, and well his other taunt friend he gave you to throw up later, for any aggro decks since they mostly have to use every bit of damage they have on the face to succeed or then it becomes out of their control and if there's no threat of aggro then its discover can cycle itself out for a card that could aid the quest or is just plain better while still being a bit of a presence.
i think people are underestimating the value potential
yee card seems very good for handbuffs. Taunt, draw a card. Everything you need.
hang in there, gorilla guy!
there's still the hope of Dinomancy

Cried Silverback Patriarch in a corner...

No. I wont upvote you.
LUL
Who knows a guy's cousin.
He knows a guy
I would never play this over Tar Creeper.
