Absolutely vital piece for Control Dragon Warrior. As a veteran CW player, I am glad that finally CW get its curve back. Curving is very important if you want to play the beatdown role in unfavourable control matchup. CW in its heyday was actually a Control Midrange deck , with solid midrange curve aka Sludge Bleacher into Shieldmaiden/Syvanas into Dr.Boom into Rag/Grom. The deck was not spell extensive like newage CW now. With this card, CW can get a pretty good curve with Stonehill into War master/Twightlight Drake into this card into Bonedrake into Crowd Rooster into LK. It make your game more exciting than holding a shitload of answer in your hand and pass the turn lol
Yeah tech that card in and got pwned by legion of Warlock Paladin and Hunter lol. CW or dragon priest wont be a meta defining force at least for this expansion. Warrior also the lowest play class atm somit is useless to have a tech card for them
I love me some Dragon Warrior, my Wild Rush/Dragon Warrior list is currently the only thing keeping me sane in this meta, but I’m not blown away... I would have preferred dealing damage over healing.
One of The best card for odd warrior ever , finally we can beat shudder by gain 10 armor for shudder ( made by azalina ) , so the opponent can't kill us
You need to have a dragon in hand to trigger the battlecry, so forget about that.
Interesting, if they will push Dragon synergy so hard to make Dragon warrior a good deck.

Hate to be a downer, but I don't think it's that good. Yes shieldmaiden was run way back in the past, and this is 1 mana cheaper, but does the meta have space for something like this? The power creep on cards has been so high that if shieldmaiden was a classic card, I don't think it'd see any play in today's meta. Even Dr. Boom from GvG isn't that big of a threat in wild right now because of the sheer number of better options that tailor to your deck gameplan better.
It'll probably see play, but I think it'll be one of the weaker cards in dragon/odd warrior, and won't replace direhorn in odd warrior until rotation, since direhorn fills a fatigue slot.
Both shieldmaiden and Justicar were heavily underrated for warrior in release season. I think you might have just forgotten how good shieldmaiden was. This is better. Running a couple of big dragons is hardly a penalty in a control deck.
In wild you probably have better options , but in standart this will be nuts .
Maybe even in every Control Warrior (that isnt strictly ODD) until it rotataes out, depending if Warrior gets some other Dragons. Also nice with the new Legendary.
now we just need a good 6 mana dragon and dragon warrior will have a pretty good dragon curve
Bonedrake is good option if we get none. Well dropping a 6/5 on board turn 6 not feel good these day I know, but its good in slower matchup and with this card the turn before we not likely die in faster one lolz
People are over-rating this card because of enthusiasm for a possible dragon warrior. With what has been shown so far, the build is still sub-tier. #37 above sums it up pretty well. With the bonkers stuff some other classes are getting, DW will need something equally strong to be competitive, and this isn't it.

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.

Fair point , but DW might be strong once the rotation happens. (since the Legendary is Even i hope this doesnt automatically goes into an odd deck)
Why is everyone so obsessed with Even or Odd? Just build a regular Dragon Control Warrior. stick some late game from Primordial Drakes, Ysera and Alex. That 4 mana 4/3 value guy, this dragon shieldmaidens, dragon executes, that 2/2 that discovers spells and voila. Only need some more early game tempo cards. Basically take Old control warrior list from 2015, replace with new dragon cards and it should be somewhat viable, fun atleast.

This is what I'll be doing. With Voone and maybe a dead mans hand you should have plenty of big boy dragons in there.

HELL YEAH!!!!

Why u hav to be mad? is only card gaem.
Bonedrake is good option if we get none. Well dropping a 6/5 on board turn 6 not feel good these day I know, but its good in slower matchup and with this card the turn before we not likely die in faster one lolz
Balanced. Half the cost of UI half its effect with a condition for play. Tribe tag is a must for dragon synergy
Good card! I mean, the time of Shieldmaiden is over, even in Wild, and I doubt Dragon Warrior can be as good again as it used to be without cards like Twilight Guardian, Alexstrasza's Champion and Blackwing Corruptor, but I still like it.
Very good. But it can't bring Dragon warrior on its own, for it 2 more new dargons needed.

Can't wait to play warrior

This is just such a decent card. a 5/5 Dragon with armor gain?
What is there not to like?

Potential gold craft. Good art, and Dragon Warrior is one of my fave archetypes.
Solid card. Nothing amazing. Just solid and consistent.
