I see some people say this is a bad weapon because it gets worse as you use it (your armor will be reduced after attacking a minion with an attack greater than 0), but what is your point? Your health is a resource, and in a Control Warrior deck, you can afford to lose out on a little armor to kill off a minion threat on the opponent's board.

2x Bring it on! and 2x Iron hide is turn 5/6 OTK if you play this on turn 4. 

people thinking this card is OTKable need to learn how to read, its been hours and people are still posting non-noggenfogger tactics. Armor based damage will never be a hero targetable effect after shield slam got changed in beta.

Problem is: what do you replace in the already overcrowded fatigue/armor warrior?

Not a bad card per se, but not as good as many others fitting the same archetype.

Looking early game, I don’t see this being better tha Extinguished War Axe unless you Iron Hide on 1. Playing this on two and hero power three is all sorts of clunky, meaning you’ve wasted your turn two and three to get a conditional 2/2.

This plus Shield Block on 5 look much better, but is effectively as worse Arcanite Reaper. 

So we need to look at edge cases where this does what other weapons can’t. Dropping a Bring it On, this, Bloodsail Raider and/or Phantom Freebooter can get some really lopsided minions on the board. While clearing a big threat to boot.

I see it as a combo card, which makes it hard to give any meaningful rating on until the whole combo is figured out. Sadly, it might preclude any actual early game weapons for warrior, which could be far more crippling than this is helpful.

We shall see.

You would play this as well as Shield Slam and Execute? I highly doubt it - this is dust since it's weak vs Aggro (they will ruin your armour) and not necessary vs slower decks since other single target removals are more reliable.

this is just bad. I just cant see the use of it. against aggro, you'll struggle to have any armor at all, so its a 2/2 for 2, if you hero power. It cant attack heroes, so its not going to be much use against control. Imo this should have had the possibility to attack heros, would be such a nice card, that you could actually run in control warrior.

 It would be utterly broken if you could attack heroes with it. And it's fairly easy to play this before you play armor boosting cards to get your damage up. Play this on 2, play Shield Block on 3 for a 5 attack weapon and kill a Tar Creeper with it.

 would it though? you need armor to pull it off, which would exclude aggro decks from using it. *snip*

It would obviously be impossibly broken if it could attack heroes, particularly whilst Bring It On exists. As it stands, it's a good card but I don't think Control Warrior is quiiiiite getting the support it needs to come back yet (and into a fairly horrible meta) - next expansion without Jades and Raza though? Could be back.

 Yup. You can OTK just about any minion in the game.

Ironhide Meta incoming

i don't think agro will be a choice, since every single deck is kinda "control, midrange or superheavy control"

it does not attack heroes..

Quote from BorkBot >>

When comparing this to Shield Slam, it's important to factor in that this has 2 'charges' where shield slam only has one. Against decks that flood the board with small minions that makes this weapon superior because you can generate some extra armor without needing to spend another card, and many of the armor generating cards have additional benefits anyway.

But where I think this card will really show potential is in matchups against midrange decks that usually play a single minion per turn, such as dragon priest. In those matchups single target removal is premium. Where against aggro decks it's often fairly easy to force your opponent to play multiple minions so you can throw brawl or sleep with the fishes at them, leaving things like Drakonid Operatives and Twilight Drakes on the board because you don't have enough single target removals is another matter entirely. And while Gorehowl is certainly a valid option there, this card is much more flexible because of its cost.

yeah this seems slightly under the power curve. it should have 3 charges, or the effect should be a battlecry, or it should be a base 2/2...or something...

Can´t see why this card should be good!

But then it's worse than basically either of those cards since you're losing your armor as well, and this a legendary weapon so I would hope for better.

Edit: Didn't realize this wasn't the Warrior's legendary weapon.
