Man, I've been playing a No Weapon/Dragon Warrior for a while. And I feel like this is going to make it a little better, really excited. Might even become a tier 2 deck or something.
Why would you play weaponless warrior ever? If you're getting harrisoned just stop playing Warrior
Hah, yeeh, I disagree. 1st of all, it's always fun to make your own unique deck. 2nd and mainly, it's for the element of being unpredictable. I have won several games against classic Control Warriors, because of them keeping Harrison in hand making him a dead card. Also killing of their Ysera for example, with my Rend Blackhand. There you got it fella', that's the reason I play a weaponless/dragon Warrior right there.
That's not a reason to use weaponless warrior lol. That's like saying you wouldn't run giants in Handlock because someone might BGH one of them or that you wouldn't run a taunt in ramp druid because your opponent might be running TBK. Cards like Fiery War Axe are what make warrior good as a class. Without weapons, you might as well kiss your good matchups against aggro decks goodbye. No amount of armor is going to make up for the lack of board control.
That is a reason to use weaponless Warrior and don't try to deny that. Why would you not run a classic Warrior, otherwise than being unpredictable an unique? Also the statement about the giants in Handlock and no taunts in Ramp are right. But what you don't seem to see is that I'm NOT playing Control Warrior. I'm playing some kind of Midrange Warrior (with dragons and no weapons), which is an very non-played archetype in general. Just as Zoo doesn't play giants or let's say, Token Druid doesn't play taunts. However, yeah I do agree with you that the weapons is what makes Warrior a good class, and that there are stronger Warrior archetypes out there. But as I said earlier my weaponless warrior isn't a top tier deck, but I'm simply excited about this card cause I could improve my deck a little bit. Last but not least, I simply enjoy making my own decks and playing them. Also I like playing Hearthstone in general and I hope you do too, this is nothing to be upset about. Have a nice one!

I think I misinterpreted what you were trying to say. :p I thought you thought you were getting a competitive edge by not running weapons.
Those latest reveals are pretty damn nice, way better then the garbage they gave us so far. And most of them are common or rare so pretty cheap to craft.
While not horribly OP they are finally filling some gaps here and there and pushing some archetypes that weren't really doing fantastic before.
Dragon control-warrior was actually a thing for a while, so I dont think its very difficult to fit this card. Maybe it could even open up for a midrange tempo warrior??
Unlike some people, I don't see this and think "Dragon Control Warrior." I think "Dragon Midrange Warrior" with cards like Bash. I'm really excited to try a new archetype for Warrior.

yes we need more and better valued dragon cards, though this is op make it a 3/2 and give charge with dragon in hand sounds more balanced.
I think priest deserved something like this, warrior's already got good anti-aggro cards.
Dragon Warrior Out PogChamp.
If we get more strong early game dragons it's an alright card, but I don't think currently that a card as situational as this is really that good.
Alestraszas's champion is only a rare? tsk tsk
My legendary count excluding adventure legendaries, dupes and old murk eye: 40

Great!
My comments refer mostly to the wild format.
The card is pretty hype but this opens the door for Deathwings Champion, Ysera's Champion and all the other dragons champion PogChamp
Now for a warrior exclusive dragon
I love scrubs
Now there needs to be a new dragon, some alternative to hungry dragon (which is okay sometimes) that is not twilight drake..

I called dragon warrior is a thing and a minion very similar to this, Kreygasm.
Great design, balance, and card!
