The Grand Tournament: decent arena card

That should be the tagline. 

It's a combination of cards that are too bad to see constructed play. I'm just tired of thinking, "sigh, maybe in arena" after reveal. I want to be wowed like I was in previous expansions.

You could say "this is a harvest golem with charge". Okay, that's interesting. Nobody plays Harvest Golem, but that's interesting.

"It's a neutral smite with a 2/1 body for 1". Well, nobody plays Smite really or Bluegill unless it's a Murloc deck. Ok.

"It's half an Argent Commander." Well that card hasn't been played in over a year. 

"It's a 2/1 with a battlecry: deal 2 damage", only worse because it gets stopped by taunts.

Is it awful? No, not as terrible as the other reveals. Is it exciting? Not at all. Blizzard seems to just be combining 2 keywords and putting them on a mana cost that doesn't have that effect yet, and it's boring. Show me more interesting stuff like Stampeding Kodo, Aldor Peacekeepers, Imp Master, Loatheb, Zombie Chow. I want to see unique effects and things that only be done in the digital space instead of safe and fair cards that are essentially side-grades to existing cards -/+ a tribal tag or vulnerability to silence.

Quote from Murllll jump

some people won't be satisfied with anti-aggro cards until Blizzard releases: 1 mana common 30/30 Dr. Aggrobane Battlecry: Summon two 30/30 Tauntbots with Deathrattle: Deal 30 dmg to your opponent

Here is our hyperbolic Dr. Boom post, right on schedule!

Yeah, I guess you don't. Ok. 

You are going to ping on turn 4? Do you know what "tempo loss" is? 

Also for the people saying this is a card to counter knife juggler:

If you drop this, kill the juggler, and then the next turn he plays a Shredder, you are behind. 

Another boring shit card. Thanks for the reveal. 

I feel like we're missing something in this thread. Has anyone mentioned Capt. Greenskin? 

I like it. The wax seal/signet thing looks really cool. 

From the trailer:

Strange. 

hes pissing me off already
