I think ppl overeaction. Like when they print Geist, everyone thing that the end of Jade Druid. It was not.
You put this vanila minion in your deck to improve winrate vs 1/9 classes? And even if you meet a Warrior he may play aggro version now in this new expansion. Not a good idea unless you really hate Control Warrior.
This is less meta-defining than the absolute grim reaper for control warriors that can be slotted into open decklist tournament decks for the next year to neutralize an entire deck type, even if there is enough support for it in other cards printed in future sets. There is a reason why they nerfed Alex so that she doesn't remove armor and I don't know what they were thinking printing this effect again (it should be a burn battlecry that deals double damage to armor).
This is absolutely disgusting. I cannot believe how many people are on board with this. This card is fucking stupid to print. Especially as a neutral card. And ESPECIALLY at 5 fucking mana.
Now everyone can kill a paladin on turn 5 with no counterplay.
now spending cards that gaining a ton of armor is fucking pointless.
now warrior killing Lich King is no challenge whatsoever.

2/9 classes. Druid can put nearly as much armor on as warrior in many cases. if warrior or druid is tier 1, then you probably will use this in 2/7 or 8 games which it could just win you the game. Teching a 5 mana 5/5 which wins you the game singlehandedly even 15-20% of your games is insane.
This card does not counters a specific deck like geist. It destorys a FUCKING CLASS IDENTITY. WHAT THE FUCK WILL WARRIOR PLAY RIGHT NOW?! WHAT IS THE POINT OF THEIR HERO POWER!?
Wow... WTF.... Not cool. If armor is part of your game plan and you played cards to get it up a decent amount and then someone plays this how bad does that feel. Terrible. Fuck you too Team 5.
I trusted all the people say, they won't ever print armor destroy. Now I am sad they were wrong. This doesn't make any sense to game. If Armor is problem, they should have nerf that 5/10 overkill or change how overkill works, don't print this card that demolishes control. The Hearthstone is looking more and more like 5 minute toilet game.. Aggro vs Aggro. Galakrond on 7, gg. Puzzlebox triple pyroblast face.
Sorry dude but this card doesn't demolish control. It demolishes control warrior only. Control warlock doesn't get affected by it. Control mage doesn't get affected by it. Nor does control pala or any other control archetype, actually, besides maybe mildly druid. Players will only include this if control warrior starts dominating (once again) the meta. It was about time they found some form of counterplay to that armour shitfest!
It takes up space in your deck, and is maybe effective 1 out of 10 games. Its an interesting print, and can be leathal. If its played to early you can armor up again, so i dont think many would play this at turn 5, but rather wait to lategame.
And who plays Thekal in their deck anyway?
Good card, with massive potential, but will likely be useless more games than effective. If it doesnt help you in 50% of the match-ups, is it worth running?
It is way too good for such a powerfull effect that will destroy warrior - clearly there is only 8 classes in HS now cause warrior just got trashed. Even if you don't tech it in, you can always discover it through all the new dragon discover cards.

Armor is pretty meh anyways, now it's even more meh.

I hate this fucking card. Fuck you blizzard.

This should ATLEAST be a 9 drop. And a legendary.
Or be a class specific card. Maybe rogue, shaman, warrior?
being a neutral 5 drop that you can put two of in your deck is just bonkers. Completely idiotic design
Nice , U Took my 20 armor, now my Dragon Army Kills U...
Good, but Not gamebreaking
Holy crap this community is truly retarded.

FUCK YOU BLIZZARD
Blizzard: “We should take care of that druid 5000 armor deck in wild!”
blizzard: “Yes, but how we nerf it?”
Bli$$ard: “nerf it? What if we print a card on a very stupid and bad way that can easily counter that deck!”
blizzard: “... But what about warrior having armor as his own identity?”
Vli$$ard: “This idea is amazing! Everyone will be so happy!”
Wow... WTF.... Not cool. If armor is part of your game plan and you played cards to get it up a decent amount and then someone plays this how bad does that feel. Terrible. Fuck you too Team 5.

"The Naaru have not forgotten us!"
Biggest impact on Warrior and Tekhal as Heal pala was starting to shape real well
this had to be a legendary and cost like 8 mana or so

nice tech card to keep some frustrating archetypes in check. Even if not played, it is good to have it in collection.
there should be anti-meta vote. For all the cards you barely see in play, but it sole existence counters some archetypes.
Bye Warrior for the next 15 months.
Double
