I'm thinking of putting Violet Illusionist in my pirate warrior deck because I think of it as a better version of Earthen Ring Farseer. Let me explain.

Let's say your opponent is playing renolock, which is popular right now. He just played his own Earthen Ring Farseer and it's now your turn. You have a Fiery War Axe with 1 durability left, so you play Violet Illusionist and attack his Farseer. In this case, Violet is a 3/4/3 with Battlecry: Heal 3, which is better than Farseer. You could also use that same situation but attack a Kor'Kron Elite, making Violet a 3/4/3 Battlecry: Heal 4, which is really good compared to Farseer.

What do you guys think?

If you have earthen ring farseer in your pirate warrior deck then you're doing it wrong.

Violet illusionist isn't trash at all, it is unique card that will have it use for sure in some decks (currently it isn't played in any meta deck, but he was used in some decks - mill rogue for example).

But in pirate warrior?! If you need to care about your health as pirate warrior - you probably lost already (unless you are playing mirror match or something similar).

SO many wrong things here:

1.Nobody ever said the card is trash it was part of fatigue warrior in karazhan before... Jade Idol.

2. Earthen Ring Farseer on PIRATE warrior?

3.Earthen Ring Farseer on warrior?? you have armor generating cards.. you know right?

4. Earthen Ring Farseer in 2017?

OP, please, tell me you are joking, what the hell is this thread?

Bashing on OP aside, I do think Violet Illusionist is far better than people give it credit for.  The issue of course is that no deck has a spot for it because any deck that uses weapons goes face with those same weapons.  I've run it in a more midrange Pirate Rogue deck I was trying and it was really quite nice there, because you often used your weapon for trades and it ended up being worth *far* more healing than Earthen Ring Farseer.

I think...you'll get the Nobel price among all warriors for even using your brain

I don't know who said it was trash. Did anyone?

I've played the card quite a lot after Karazhan with Fool's Bane

I use it in control warrior.  If your deck is built around swinging at minions then its a goodish card.  If your deck is built around swinging for face then its silly.
