For the longest time I thought this robot had one leg with a wheel on the bottom. I learn so many things by getting a close look at hearthstone art

This card is so-so in my books, good in some situations and bad in others, but Armorsmith seems to be just much more versatile. Against hunter and mech decks, it can trade and survive against 2-1's, and then possibly kill something bigger as a 2-1 itself. With two attacks, it can also trade evenly against 2-3's. It also does very well against classes that make 1-1's: paladin and warlock. However, if you play this before your opponent plays their 1-drop, you can easily get punished by a 3-2, who will kill it and survive.

All in all, I'd say it's pretty good if you're facing classes that play or make a lot of 1 health minions, but you also have to think about what use you will get out of it... what kind of deck would you put warbot in that works better than existing ones? Control and patron don't really need it, and whirlwind effects kills all 1-health minions on the board anyway... Armorsmith does a similar job to warbot during early game in killing one-health minions, and is much more versatile as it can also be used as part of a whirlwind combo. Chow provides a more reliable 2-3 body for 1 mana if you're looking for early tempo.

I see this in an Aggro Warrior deck, obviously.  Aggro Warrior existed once, about a year ago actually, and was A Thing briefly if I recall for a short amount of time.  I have always loved the archetype in a way, even with how counterintuitive it may seem to the Warrior's Hero power.   But essentially, part of me just wants to try and take an "aggro-mech" skeleton and apply it to the earlier cards of nearly every class and see what works best.  Even though I know the answer is almost certainly Warlock something makes me want to try other classes anyway, heh.

How is this aggro card? It's 1 attack, best suited for efficiently trading for first for opponent's 1-drop and then 2-drop. Maybe in zoo (zoorrior) or midrange since CW does removing mainly by Fiery Winaxe.

Nice to see warrior with a 1 drop that has synergy.

this is pretty great.  it'll combo nicely with all of warrior's 1 damage effects.

Inner Rage and Rampage for a 7/5. GET IN
