I am starting to think there will be less spells but a lot of rush minions as removals in the next meta. Maybe decks will be totally different from now.

I think you may be right. Or at least, removal/rush will be more class specific.
I'm not so sure about this card tbh. If you're ever able to Recruit it, it's pretty crazy strong. At worse (where you play it on an empty board) it's a 5-mana 5/6 that summons a 2/1 for your opponent, which is not good. Considering that Hungry Ettin doesn't currently see play (and this is kind of what that is), I don't have confidence that this will either, but like I said, maybe it'll go into a highroll Recruit deck somehow.
5/8 rush is quite good, it's like doomguard but used as board control, if you have taunts, they can sponge the 2 2/1's or if you have 1 damage aoe (warrior could use this card quite well)
turn 4 blood razor- hit turn 5 muck hunter, get a 5/7 rush to have board control, you probably gain tempo immediately in tempo match ups with such set up.
Echoing what people have been saying that it is a pretty good arena card but way too fair/unbroken to see play in constructed. Yeah if you have a whirlwind it's a doomguard without charge but when you need another spell just to make it decent it's not going to be in ranked.
You don't necessarily need another card to deal with the tokens.. Mage and rogue hero power can already kill one of them for free while you remove a premium target from the board and still have a huge pile of stats afterwards. And if you need one other card, what is wrong with that? People play Doomguard from hand and do just fine, they don't shit their pants because it cost them 2 additional RANDOM cards from your hand.
Or, you just play it when you're going to use a board clear anyway, and that's a FAIR, UNBROKEN 5 mana 5/8 on the board for free.
Yes, this card requires deck building, synergy, skill, timing, positioning. That's a lot, and maybe most of you guys feel like it's too much. But no, this card is not "fair" at all.
We'll see I guess. You can't say it's broken at this point. If I had access to the minion now it would basically be a slightly better hungry ettin which sees absolutely zero constructed play. There are many cards that could be good given the right deck building, synergy, skill, timing and positioning but they don't see play because they aren't nearly consistent enough exactly because of requiring all of those things.

I think Rush is a better Keyword than Taunt. So I would tentatively say this is better than Hungy Ettin, but your comparison is a good one.
I don't know. Sick stats for sure. But I like the Milita card more.
In a zoo-ish deck maybe where you overwhelm oponents with board presence. Still, you give them 2 minions. I can only see this in a warrior deck where whirlwind effects and damaged minions are a thing. Or if you want to disturb resurrect effects from priest giving them shitty options.
Pretty 'meh' card. Nice stats but they could have done something more interesting. Maybe if he had the swapping stats effect like the other Worgen they revealed. What I would also like to see is a card that "negates the Battlecry on the next minion you play." That could lead to interesting deck builds.
kinda like a worse version of leeroy really apart from this has more health which is good, this card has good stats, mana cost and I could see this being good if you have some sort of whirlwind effect to clear the two 2/1's straight away that you summon for your opponent, otherwise I think just a average card but lets wait and see.

Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
I do agree it will see play in warrior decks, but it remains to be seen whether warrior can break out of dumpster tier even with cards like this. When I say "doesn't see play in constructed" i mean in the competitive tier decks that the majority of players play.
I think this will work with warrior. Play this, and then use a 1 damage board clear. The 2 x 2/1 mucks your opponent gets are gone, and you have a pretty solid minion.
So I guess Odd Warrior will really be a thing now (warrior has so many 1-dmg AoE removals (Blood Razor, Whirlwind, Warpath, Bladestorm, etc.) which also trigger enrage and other synergies (Frothing Berserker, Battle Rage, Armorsmith, Drywhisker Armorer) that it's the only class to play this with no downside and probably even an upside).
I get the Leeroy comparison flavorwise but This dude serves a very different purpose than Leeroy and it curves nicely with Blood Razor.. but it kinda sucks you can't plair blood razor with Baku... This can support several warrior archtype.. hopefully there's enough supporting cards for a tempo warrior.

Anytime you give your opponent minions = bad.

It's clearly another Warrior card disguised as a neutral, and in the new Warrior it will be extremely good.

Doesn't matter if it is not bad, it won't see any play in constructed, no class needs this so it is an ok arena card.
Maybe... nah nah nah nah
All I see is sick defile plays.

The only thing I don't understand is why people are comparing this to leeroy... wtf?
