Not as great as it seems. This is a control warrior card that only really fits in patron. Maybe patron will become slower and use this card, but honestly, this card is a little meh.
Well, I love that type of card but.... It's Echo of Medivh. With a warrior flavor to it, okay, but still, it's Echo of Medivh.
And well, it just doesn't feel right to see such an effect in a class other than Mage. Duplicating things is one of their core themes. Now I love these type of cards that open new possibilities for the classes, but I must admit this is a card I'm not that happy to see. Even if it is a bit worse, I don't like seeing one of my favorite mage cards in warrior. It's feels wrong and it's a bit... Disappointing...
I think with the new formats and cards getting rotated out Blizzard wants to use this as a chance to experiment with how the classes play and maybe give similar cards to a new class. Like now Paladin is more of the Control/Murloc class with this expansion instead of Shaman. We'll probably see this a lot from here on.
This is a worse Echo of Medivh. Echo of Medivh didn't exactly set the meta on fire. Why does anybody think this card is going to have a major impact? It'll be played, for sure, probably in Reno warrior and other fatigue-oriented lists, maybe in some kind of combo warrior we can't even imagine yet. But it's not going to be a big deal.
ROFL... meta defining? God tier? How are people so bad at this game and suck SO much at assessing cards? Its an interesting card, it may even be a playable and maybe some deck will use it to great effect but it will never shape the meta. Its not good enough. Its slow. You know what card also gives you extra cards for every damaged minion? Battle rage. The same card no one played before patron. Oh and it also draws an extra card for your face an it costs one less mana. Since you want to draw cards, cause theres a reason you put those in your deck in the first place, battle rage is better than this card in every scenario except fatigue and copying a bunch of chargers and/or immediate effect minions.
People are failing to see the bigger picture here. The card is not "god tier". It's not even all that good. It's decent, but that's about it.
Patron doesn't need "more patrons" on the hand, it needs combo pieces and therefore real DRAWS and they already have the cheaper Battle Rage for that. Mid-range also prefers real card draw and would rather run Shield Block or something else, since you need at least 2 minions to get value out of the card, it hurts your tempo mid-game. At other points of the game you probably don't have enough minions (+need to be damaged) to effectively make use of this. In heavy control / fatigue it might see play, but even then you probably only get a single card out of it + it needs to be damaged and the only reason why you would want to play it, is because it doesn't draw from your deck. The most fitting where I can see it is in C'Thun decks.

Maybe... nah nah nah nah
What? Is it just me or is this card really broken?
I LOVE IT
Yea, taking out echo of medivh in mage and putting this in warrior feels uninspired and just plain wrong
Cool card but I'd rather mage keep it then give it to a class that excels to well at fatigue matchups.
every one get in hand!
everobody get in here , and also hogger
Wow... just wow. God tier!
Least not forget, Reno is sometimes damaged too...
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.

a very nice card for patron as tech vs control decks
so over all heeyyyy thats preety good
With the addition of Ravaging Ghoul and this, I could see Jeweled Scarab as a viable option in a warrior deck.

YEEEEEEAH.
A Warrior spell, as I expected. Too bad Death's bite is leaving us :'c
Now... can someone think of more instances than patron/armorsmith in which this is preferable to card draw instead?
Jaraxxus: "I WILL FEAST ON YOUR SOUL, THIS WINTERVEIL!!"
Medivh: "Happy feasting, Champion!"
Turn 5 : Grim Patron + Inner Rage
Turn 6 : Ravaging Ghoul + Blood Warriors
This combo seems okay I think. It gives 4 patrons total on board and two patrons in hand.

Its meh to okay. Its supposed to be for Patron warrior who already has better draw mechanics with Battle Rage.
