Seen the video now. Seems... honestly pretty weak. Sleep with the Fishes is just so much better, and Blood Razor does the "multiple activations" far better.
Maybe it's a good thing that because of whirlwind this card can't cost 1 mana! However, for the cost of 1 additional mana you do gain heaps of flexibilty so perhaps we're looking at a Whirlwind replacemen for many.
If you build up the play, i.e 6 mana to deal 3 damage to all minions it kind of reads as a bad card but used as a mechanic to draw or gain armour this card actually becomes a very positive tool.
Unfortunately because of whirlwind it can't cost 1 mana but at 2 mana a time I think it is unlikely to see heaps of play other than as a Whirlwind replacement. Perhaps it will be exactly this?
If you build up the play, i.e 6 mana to deal 3 damage to all minions it kind of reads as a terrible card.
Because it isn’t intended to be used that way. It is a means to repeatedly activate your “when damaged” triggers.
Now I don’t know I it has much use with whirlwind and razor and the DK card. But it certainly has a niche, and being able to be used as a board clear in a pinch (even if horribly inefficient) is an upside.
Not saying it's a good card, but any deck that would've run whirlwind will now 100% play this instead. No reason not too. Also, I do think people are slightly underestimating it as dealing 5 damage to all minions with one card is pretty powerful...even if it costs 10 mana.
It's definitely weaker than similar cards, but recall all the other examples of weaker cards that are still played because the effect is still worth it.
True. It certainly will aid that particular mechanic if you've got the right board on the go. I suppose at 10 mana you can potentially draw 4 cards whilst dealing damage to other minons if you haven't already got your acolytes down.

Wow, RegisKillbin predicted this EXACT card in his video for potential echo cards!
I think I know what I'm talking about.
A nice card against Paladin and to draw with Acolyte of Pain.
That sucks lol
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
Seems decent
I think this card will be meta-defining if Warrior gets enough support in this expansion. the effect is insane! Think of the possibilities!
I think I know what I'm talking about.
Its scalable and fits the toolkit for warrior that ravenous ghoul did. Sure it's expensive but when has warrior cared about its slowness.
I'm sure it will see play if the dude or murloc pally continues to see play.
Just give us a nonfatigue finisher for warrior please.

Very strong imo, a lot of potentional, too bad it's 2 mana though, can't fit into Baku decks :(
Don't mind me just passing by
I think we've had enough Whirwind effects. It's a usable card because Revenge and Whirlwind was used too but it won't make Warrior any better.
Maybe in Tempo Warrior for an insane Forthing Berserker turn but Tempo Warrior won't be a thing that's for sure.
This card is also your daily reminder of how strong Defile is.

it's not odd cost unlucky if it was cost 1

So bad... i mean, the card is ok, but the power level is not comparable to Sleep with the Fishes (going to rotate out) .
