Actually I don't like current situation of the game and where it goes. With every expansion, cards became more and more powerful(especially in 1-2 years). Power creep is real for Hearthstone. Yeah, there were always very powerful and broken cards in different times but they were limited but now the majority of cards are very powerful and people aren't even using hero powers as much as before.
Power creep is unplesant and even dangerous for card games. As an old competitive Yugioh player, I can say that if this power creep continue, playing Hearthstone won't be fun. Power creep ruined whole Yugioh and it looks like Hearthstone is the next.
Actually differentiating the standard format is a good way to keep game fresh, balanced and prevent power creep but the way Blizzard chose with new cards is wrong I think.
But with rotating Core Set each year, powercreep is much less a problem. Everything rotate now so they can fix thing much faster than before
Ok, so I aware of the situation , now where my freaking new card reveal ? Why these streamer punish me instead of Blizzard ? I am in rage now. Gonna give Blizzard $80 dollar more in their pocket because of this stupid virtual signalling
I thin the armour gain is pretty sweet, particularly if they move towards a slower meta. Works well with shield slam as a flexible removal combo, 3 mana heal 8 isn't shabby at all and if you don't need it at that moment, you can trade it for a different card. If control warrior is a thing then I imagine this will be an auto include.
Maybe you are right but I dont have high hopes for the card. Compared to Iron Hide its +3 armor for +2 mana and that card havent seen much play. Compared to Shield Block its +3 armor and -1 card which seems a bad deal. The tradeable flexibility is nice, but the baseline seems weak compared to other tradeable cards.
Turn 5 Druid fill board with the 2/2. You do not have Rancor or Bladestorm in hand. If you have Shieldblock , you may cycle to search for these two spell but you do not have enough mana to play it. Your 5 armor is useless because the Druid will buff these 2/2 next turn and have a very strong position . But if you have this card instead, you can cycle for 1 then play Rancor.
Another example, you have 4 health and the Hunter can deal 10 next turn. If you have Shieldblock you're dead , your draw is useless. But with this card, you can live for another turn.
So I do not say that this card is better than Shieldblock. But there are a lot of situations this card is better than Shieldblock .
Just wanted to touch on how excellent the design of Face Hunter is. Incredible work. Teeming with tactics and strategy. Really rewards the players that understand the value of reducing the opponents life total to zero by playing cards. Fantastic.
Thats how the deck works since 2014. In some meta it is broken, in some it sucks. You are 7 years too late mate.
Those nerfs are absolute batshit insane. Nerfs AND buffs have shown that the tiniest change to something, whether it's cost or effect, makes a massive difference. You're just destroying cards.
Nah, he doest. I dont see " your charge minions have +1 attack" anywhere in his suggestion
The OP forgot the most important thing of the puzzle. How the heck can Warrior gain 30 armor in the current state? Playing a 6 mana 5/5 doing nothing to board is as bad as a criminal offense now, you not playing Classic mode for god sake

Well Warrior deck easily provide plenty of Rush and Taunt. Divine shield is hard though, only decent one is the 5 mana legendary

Pen Finger : 2 mana.
Deck of Lunacy : 5 mana
Libram : 4 mana so less opressive in the early game. In mid-late game it still free.
Spring Water : 6 mana
Tickakus : 8 mana
