Possible Enrage Warrior incoming?

to make godly curves in a midrange / tempo deck. its always good to start the game with a 1/3.

follow it up with the 2/3 berserker (now a 5/2 on turn 2), a 3/3 frothing berserker or a instant draw with acolye, a 5/5 taunt tauren, and so goes on.

not sure if the stats of this curve will be good enought, but i learned to always trust on the 1 drop, 1/3 of every class.

shaman trogg, paladin murloc inquisidor, mage manawhirm, priest northshire cleric, warlock voidcaller / that imp that draws when you discard.

"Everyone get IN HERE!" *cue* Ummet Ozcan

First thing I thought of when I saw this card was the Grim Patron activator and "Everyone, Get In Here". haha, but this card is good because its an activator for enrage cards, acolyte of pain activator amongst many other things, so all in all i say this card will see play for sure.

Hi Savage Bear

Everybody is thinking tempo warrior but I see Control warrior. Solid one drop stats to contest the board and pick apart aggro. The next minion you play after this guy will most likely be a Acolyte or a Bloodhoof Brave, which become better when played with this card. And if you dont draw it on turn 1 you have it later in the game to combo with Grommash. Early and late game possibilities with this card. Control warrior doesnt run very many minions so I could see this as a good fit.

I dunno guys. Patron Warrior has waaay better combo activating options, and an aggressive Tempo Warrior would only want to hit Amani Berserker on turn 2. So it's a 1 mana 1/3 that you don't play on turn 1 and isn't good as a combo tool.

Ehhhhhh, I'm not sold on this one. Somebody convince me. I see potential, but I can't think of anything.

I'm gonna vote bad. You play Blood Razor, Death's Bite, Ravaging Ghoul, Whirlwind, and even Blood To Ichor before you play this. Thoroughly convinced it's unplayable.

 First of all this is 1/3 minion with ongoing effect. You don't need weaken your deck and empty your hand with Whirlwind or Blood To Ichor for enrage/acolyte effects now.

I'm absolutely sure this card will be staple for any tempo-warrior deck next expansion.

 As I've suggested on others' comments, isn't Blood To Ichor just a better card? It's more flexible because it can hit enemies, and a 2/2 can trade for 2-drops, a 1/3 cannot. Against pirates the 1/3 is better, but that's it.

The ONLY cards you want this to hit are Acolyte of Pain, Grommash Hellscream, and sometimes Bloodhoof Brave. You almost never want it to hit an Armorsmith, Frothing Berserker, Ravaging Ghoul, or any other cards that might be used in a Tempo Warrior.

 Blood To Ichor not allways better than this minion. On my t1 I can't play Blood. When PW or rogue on t1 plays 1/1 and Patches I can't play it too. Also this minion greatly increase value of Amani Berserker. 5/2 on curve on t2 is a great think against slow decks like priest or jade druid. Priest really requires burn his SW:D to deal with it and druid has to use Wraith without a draw instead of ramp.

Used spoiler tags so this isn't huge. I agree with all of your points, this card is definitely better against pirates than Blood. I don't think it will make Amani Berserker any better though. The synergy is there, but that would be in an aggro or aggressive midrange deck that is slower than pirate warrior (and likely has less burst damage). It's soooo tough for those kinds of decks to gain traction against Mage or faster aggressive decks. It's like trying to play Face Hunter right now. It just feels awful.

Angry Chicken Handbuff Warrior Incoming?

Just missing a two drop to curve.

Enrage exists, yes. But you NEVER want a 5/2 armani berserker the turn you PLAY it.

Common people thinking this card is bad...

It is the dream 1 drop for warrior control, you can easily setup draw engines and fight the 1 drop minions of opponent when don't draw axe.

Acolyte, Berserker, Armorsmith and so other many minions and spells, you can free give 1 damage into your minions with this and unlike spells the opponent have to remove or the effect goes on...

so yeah, midrange warrior might be a thing, and with the insane midrange card they released yesterday it might even be good.

I voted bad, but only because I can't see a deck for it. If one appears, this could easily be a very good card.

 But it's not for free. It's still another card. And if you have ever played Priest then you know that 1/3 minion on it's own is pretty shit. If anything whirlwind is more free since 1 dmg AOE is a good card on its own. 

I'm going to try some sort of Emperor/ Sudden Genesis/ Axe Flinger/ this card combo in wild

In most cases in Standard, it will live long enough to activate exactly one minion.

Is that good enough? I guess we'll see.

Is Blizzard literally making cards that are only for Wild? I don't see this being played in standard. Granted we haven't seen all the new cards yet, but unless there is a 2 mana damage synergy card, I just don't see the use of this at all?

I'm really excited for this in a midrange warrior deck with enrage minions, Acolyte of Pain, Battle Rage, etc.

Interesting. I have an enrage Warrior that's one of my favorite decks to play in casual, but I think there are already plenty of enrage triggers as it is. This might be useful mid-game if you can land it before a Bloodhoof Brave or Gurubashi Berserker, but I don't think you can afford to take the damage if you're playing an Amani Berserker or Raging Worgen on curve (unless it's on an empty board). I'd rather trigger the enrage via a trade and make my opponent use removal.
