For only one mana ? Guess who's pushing hard for a Control Warrior come back :P
Edit: Erratum : don't know why, but for a moment I thought it had a draw effect like Shield Block too. 5 Armor for 1 mana is still a good deal, but less control'ish as I thought. Still make for a pretty cheap removal combo, using Shield Slam
Armor alone doesn't make CW, if that was true, Ironforge Portal would have seen more play, if you compare the prime armor cards like Shieldmaiden and Shield Block you'll see that the main selling point of those is that they offer something alongside the armor.
However it is a pretty nice card with a lot of potential is more niche builds
Flash Heal didn't get played unless there was a reason for it besides healing your hero (like OTK combos with Auchenai Soulpriest). 5 Life Gain isn't enough value for 1 mana, and just the Shield Slam combo won't be enough more I don't think. Control Warrior will skip this card.
Good job guys, as usual. This card single-handedly kills pirate warrior, while Shield Block is way too slow and doesn't do shit against pirates, you can run this instead of anti-weapon tech and it won't make your deck shitty against non-weapon classes.
It's a fair card, better than shield block against aggro, worse against control, won't see play in every deck, it's fine, it's healthy, it's beautiful, what's wrong ?
It's a fair card, which means it isn't good enough. We already received a massive number of anti-aggro tools in Un'goro, much better ones than this. Nobody is bitching about having anti-aggro tools, we're calling it for what it is, a mediocre card.
Not really, not the classic one at least. Shield Block is good because it's a cycle. This card is so bad and it won't see any competitive play, for the same reason why Flash Heal see zero play despite the strong Auchenai synergy.

I am quite sure he is being sarcastic.

Love Control Warrior and would love to see it come back, but if it does it won't have anything to do with this card.
shield block way batter
I always wondered why Shield Block was the only thing that just gave armor.
Flash Heal didn't get played unless there was a reason for it besides healing your hero (like OTK combos with Auchenai Soulpriest). 5 Life Gain isn't enough value for 1 mana, and just the Shield Slam combo won't be enough more I don't think. Control Warrior will skip this card.
Incremental healing/armor for anti-aggro. Outside of a hyper-aggressive metagame this is much worse than Shield Block.
Filler card plain bad, gaining 5 armor for a card and 1 mana is really weak.
Really bad that it also makes warrior arenas a bit worse...
it has no impact on board and flash heal didn't make it as a healing card which is more flexible.. if it was 0 mana it might still not see much play.
Only use I can think of for it is if you want a lot of cheap spells to play with gadgetzan auctioneer. probably not though.
I mean the effect is good, but is it good enough to justify taking up a slot, I say no.
like Flash Heal but 2 mana combo with Shield Slam for 5 damage. Worse than Shield Block as it just is basically "heal 5" for 1 mana.
This is definitely NOT something you want to waste a turn drawing...
The only application for this card is discovering it for a Hunter and Pally in a pinch with Grimestreet Informant lul
Will use in my Gazlowe Mechwarrior in wild.
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
At least it's good when cast by Yogg. That's about it.
