Compare it to hydrologist, or stonehill defender. Both of those were very good and this is on the same level if not better. 10/10, looks like a class staple.
2 mana for a 2/2 with TAUNT + Discover a Taunt minion?
That's really good in my opinion!
This will be run in almost every warrior, you don't even need a dedicated taunt warrior to still get value from this card since it replaces itself with whatever OP taunt you want, including a chance for a 2nd Zilliax! Insane!
Yeah well it’s better Stonehill Defender so whatever. It’ll get played in some stuff. This still doesn’t make and of the new warrior buffs good i don’t think.
Formatting error? Stonehill was played in many decks, this taunt will be an autoinclude.
stone hill defender for warrior. They are really pushing taunt warrior. Will it be better than bomb? I doubt that.
If we get 1 or 2 more Mid range taunt minions and a few more late game power house taunts, this might change the power level and tip the scales towards a Taunt warrior deck.
But I agree, right now, doesn't seem likely. Especially as Bomb Warrior counters the Highlander decks.
Blizz is watching bomb warrior, if everyone plays bomb warrior and it forces highlander out, expect a nerf to the bomb generators by 1 mana or the bomb damage reduced to 3.
Oh look a couple of taunt cards were revealed today. Hopefully all the whiny turd sandwiches stop crying about how each card revealed "doesn't have any support" when a large portion of the expansion has yet to even be revealed.
Doesn't seem better than Stonehill Defender to me. With earlygame taunts you generally want health heavier stats. 1 Attack is enough to kill most aggro earlygame minions (and lackeys nowadays). Also earlygame taunts with big health protect your other important stuff, that's why Tar Creeper was so good.
Upside: This has a higher chance of going infinite, because of class card discovery bonus.
This is one mana cheaper than Stonehill though, which is huge. The fact that this is only playable in warrior means it won't be as omnipresent as stonehill was (if it were a neutral card it would be broken in paladin, imo), and the taunt pool is admittedly a bit weaker, but it is an early game play that slows down aggro a bit while not costing you card advantage in a control matchup. The thing that makes it strong is that its a pretty good card in any situation, against aggro its a 2/2 taunt that can find you another cheap taunt, against control its a value card that can discover you a huge minion.
I think warrior is looking incredibly strong at the moment, so maybe there are better cards out there, but I think this is good enough to theoretically see play in any deck. Its a common card with pretty much no downside, those tend to see play. At the very least it will be a budget card that could be placed in to any warrior deck and work out pretty well, I think it has the potential to be more than that though.
As if the armaegedillo wasn't scary enough being a one-of, with the class offering bonus it's highly highly likely you'll see multiple of them per game now. Taunt warrior with Dr. Boom backing it up... ugh.
I mean, people should also realize this: With this kind of discover mechanic, now you have that extra chance to discover an extra Zilliax for your deck. That alone makes this card "not terrible-borderline ok."
In wild this thing will be nuts with extra bonus features like extra lich kings.
The occurance bonus for Armagedillo is going to be INSANE! Easily more than 50 percent, which is insane considering that deck will be built around exactly what that legend does. This card will never be bad, in any meta ever.

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
Well I guess taunt Warrior is gonna be a thing. They got rehashed Stonehill defender plus the +2/+2 hand buff for 1 mana and the infested goblin that gives 2 taunt tokens plus Armagedillo *and Boom is still a card...Not sure how aggro is gonna deal with all that and can maybe slow down conjures mage long enough to find some answers.
I can see this being played outside of Taunt dedicated decks too, seems pretty good better than armoring up on turn 2 I would say and just gives pure value.
What could the Warrior quest be? There’s a lot a taunt support, but there’s no way they’d make anther taunt quest, right?
I'm looking forward to know it. After seeing all the revealed quests and the Warrior cards i'm puzzled. We are seeing that new quests are going to be ( obviously ) different to original ones, so Warrior quest shouldn't be about taunt following that logic... But if u take a look of the currently revealed cards... U can't think in any other thing... We'll see

I mean - yeah, you're playing this card in Warrior. This is a pretty easy 4/5 or 5/5 type of card.

We already did, zoolock gained a 5/5+3/3 for 4 mana.

They push taunt warrior to an ultimo. Wow
I don‘t have time for games.
Super boring card.
Zoinks! It's a g-g-g-ghost!
...of Stonehill Defender
Don't underestimate this card, can be very dangerous:

I just came here for same reason as 98% of others ...

Don't let your Memes be dreams!
Good card but man that artwork is so lame.
Very good.
Taunt warrior pushed really hard. But i'm still not convinced that he can become T1 deck in standard.

Stonehill Defender of warrior, it was good Stonehill Defender why not this
