Also the new 7 drop is a very playable way to corrupt Tickatus
I feel like they'll be printed solely for this reason.
And also because this effect has been super popular in battlegrounds. They want to bring in fan favourite concepts from BG's so they enter the gamemode that garners all the revenue! <3 (In the past they have tried printing beasts with this effect but they didn't have rush or taunt)
He's very playable right now. Not capping your health at 15 is huge cause even if you have less than 10 health you can still heal beyond that 15 hp. He's also a decent card that upgrades Tickatus and that's huge.
All these buffs to Warlock for control makes me think they are gonna nerf Tickatus. Wishful thinking, I just don't want Warlock to end up being the best Control class.
We still need to see what will new expansion bring but from what I've seen so far, IMHO Jaraxxus isn't gonna be as nearly as powerful as many of you think.
What made other hero cards strong? Yeah, they all had cool hero powers but what really made them powerful and playable is their ability to affect the board in some way the same turn they were played.
What Jaraxxus has in that regard? Well, for 9 mana you get 5 armor and 3 attack weapon. That looks looks fairly empty turn to me and I'm not sure you're gonna have the luxury of having empty turns like that in most matches.
Also, the Jaraxxus change is not without a downside. Previously you could use the card to heal up to 14 health. That's now replaced with 5 armor, which is nice too, but not quite "up to 14".
Definitely interested in seeing if there's any Control Warlock decks that emerge that also actually use him. He might end up the same as he was in Classic, nice and fun, but utlimately a card that just made a winnable position stronger and not a down situation into a positive one.
Twisting Nether into Jaraxxus is going to make me nostalgic though, ngl. (Though I guess I can get that kick in Classic too if I want it)

The only reason you will be able to play Ysera and Ysera the Dreamer on Wild is cause they're different cards with different names but Lord Jaraxxus, the minion will disappear from the game and only the new hero version will exist. This also applies to other buffed cards like Lightning Storm or Cenarius.
On the Legacy/Classic format you will indeed be able to play minion Jaraxxus but nowhere else.
Lord Jaraxxus will be a standard hero card offering 5 armor and NO DRAW BACKS!!
This means that we can spam 6/6's AND keep a 3/8 weapon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know about you guys but he is going into every bloody deck not named zoo....

I am a Paladin main, but my holiness might no stay intake for so long as I love Control Decks and Lord Jaraxxus just might've snatched it.
Who can resist his sweet and soothing voice?
The elegant way he summons his best friends to fight at his side?
Also, interesting to note, Toxicologist is back in the core set, too. So.. y'know. Big weapon go smash?
Yeah Warlock Warrior Pally are my big 3, but A Jaraxxus without downside puts it over the top!

There is no way that Jax is keeping his hero power AND weapon
I am priest main but i love control in general. So i'm happy about this huge buff of Jaraxx. Maybe i will play a controllock soon.
It’s confirmed buddy!

I like playing 1 or 2 heavy cards in aggro decks, i'll definitely put jaraxxus in my zoo decks

In death, I exact my revenge!
Jax + Tour guide = 5 armor, 3/8 weapon and a 6/6
INFERNO!

Is this a new card or replacing the old one?
I have a golden Jarraxxus so am wondering what will happen to it.
The new one will be part of the Core set and playable in Standard and Wild.
The old one will be part of the Legacy set and playable in Wild and Classic.

That's wrong, there's not an old Jaraxxus and a new Jaraxxus, the card got reworked entirely to be a hero card, here's an offical twit supporting this: https://mobile.twitter.com/ahirunHS/status/1365268791148486659/photo/3

that feeling when it doesn't even matter because you already have a fuckfacetus to autowin control mirrors so this was simply unnecessary
