I've always really liked this guy- the potential of throwing 7/7 in stats every turn isn't to be underestimated! Most times I win with him I do go full demon, no Weavers or Jugs (I play around 5800).
However he is totally at the mercy of what it gives you early. So much so that if you can't get early demons and start stacking it's very unlikely to win. I think him and a few other heroes could really benefit from an 0/1 tribal that they begin with. What do u think?
Jaraxxus is borderline busted with demons, pressing the hero power every turn makes him insanely powerful but he soiuffers from 2 things. The first one is obvious, you're pretty much forced to go demons or you're obviously wasting the hero, so that makes him very specific which isn't the best. The other problem comes as a consecuence of the first one: Demon builds are not very reliable in the sense that they are heavy luck dependant. You have to get Wrath Weaver early as he'll probably be your biggest minion, then you need to get Floating Watchers early so they get buffed fast and grow big and last you need Soul Juggler, he's the difference between losing a game an winning comfortably, at least on the early to mid turns. Malganis is important but not as much as getting the other stuff.
Demon builds are nothing more than piles of stats so you need to get your big boys early so you can make them grow, otherwise demons can't go past top 4. That being said Jaraxxus would obviously benefit from that 0/1 but that wouldn't make him particularly better tbh.

I've played many games with jaraxxus, this is just wrong. He is weak as a demons player and therefore weak in general - Patchwork...Lich...AFK...hell, almost anyone is a beter demons player - the 2 mana price for the buff is too expensive, on an archetype that it is super easy to create piles of stats with anyway, making the hero power redundant. Even at 1 mana it wouldn't feel anything like as good as Tirion's.
My bad, didn't pay attention. Thought it was just another whine thread... oh wai~
I don't believe the OP was whining at all. He was saying he wished that Jaraxxus was a little better than he currently is. Nothing wrong with stating a desire for something to be better in my opinion. Certainly doesn't class as whining in my book. :-)

All the more reason to do it. The mech son of a bitch needs it too..
Member when people complained about how broken Jaraxxus is?

I believe they are talking (in this thread) about the Battlegrounds version of Jaraxxus. The hero, not the card. :-)

Rather than this, the hero-power should simply summon a 1/1 imp when there is no demon on the battlefield that he can buff.
