New Card Revealed - Pompous Thespian
Blizzard has posted a new blog which contained a new card!
Official Post
Quote from BlizzardI, Moroes, steward of Karazhan, have already shown you around the Parlor. Now, if you’ll pardon the phrase, I’ll throw back the curtains on one of Karazhan’s most luxurious features: Medivh’s private opera house. The stage manager, Barnes, books the very best singers and actors from around the world, and the performances are sure to put you on the edge of your seat! Barnes is quite the character, but he should be able to keep you busy while I attend to some additional party-related matters. I’ll return shortly.
Welcome, party-goers! I am Barnes, the stage manager, and this is the finest theater in Azeroth. Medivh has an incredible show planned for the party. Come, I’ll show you around—we might even have time for a little improv!
All the World’s a Stage
Karazhan’s opera house is the height of elegance and sophistication, and these very planks of wood have seen some of the greatest stories of the age unfold with pathos and grandeur. Glorious, but that’s in the past! Never look back, darlings—it distracts from the FUTURE! The show we have in store tonight will put them all to shame. I predict that these features will be so great, so EPIC, that people will return in droves again, and again, and again—just to catch a glimpse of their favorite play!
We Are Simply Players
Ah, but there will be no shows if there are no sets. Sadly, my crew are all late, or misplaced their guild cards, or are lost somewhere in Karazhan. That last one is a surprisingly common occurrence, actually . . . No matter! Anyway, I’m sure you’ll do fine, you look like naturals. I’m so excited to begin!Oh settle down. It’s clear to see that you’re all heroes, so a total stranger asking you to perform menial labor should feel quite familiar. Oh, you want a reward? Well, I can promise you the greatest reward imaginable if we can finish in time. Ah, now I’ve got your attention! Now let’s see. . . .
Let’s get this tower set up. Yes! It looks just like real stone, doesn’t it? That’s because it IS real stone. Originally, Medivh was going to magic it into place, but since he’s busy now I’ll just have to make do. Now, get in there and really put your backs into it and HEAVE! Oh, well done. Our lead actress will look positively radiant all the way up there.
Here, take these hammers—this quaint forest cottage won’t build itself, you know! I mean, it was supposed to build itself, but with Medivh occupied doing who knows what, we will just have to get our hands dirty. And by “we”, I of course mean “you”.
Good job! That cottage is looking really quaint! Now we’ll just need to do just a tiny little bit of sewing and you’re all done. How many costumes? Well, all of them actually—I’m no seamstress. Medivh was going to—well, nevermind what Medivh was going to do. I’m sure that with a whirlwind of activity we’ll be done in no time! The tailoring supplies are in those cabinets. Now let’s hustle!
Rescue Me
Ah, it appears that Moroes has returned to take you off my hands. Parting is such sweet sorrow, but at least everything is finally prepared for the show tonight! I hope you enjoy the party! And get some rest before the festivities, you all look exhausted!Oh, your reward? Why, a job well done, of course!
I, Moroes, have returned. My, my, you all look so glad to see me! Why are you sweating? Actually, don’t answer that question; I don’t want to know. Well then, since I clearly have nothing better to be doing while the Master is gone, I suppose we can visit the Menagerie next.
Oh, and please don’t forget to check your invitations.

Ahem...
don't*, card*, exists, card*, (- ,), balanced*, especially*
Jokes aside, you're completely wrong. Having taunt in arena doesn't do anything for you, and any other card will most likely be better than this.
this should replace frostwolf grunt and there is NO reason to print a card like this in an adventure.
also all the useless classic cards should be deletet and replaced and the toal hp pool buffed to 35 or even 40.
To beep, or not to beep. That is the question!
haven't we seen this in warrior already? one that gives another minion taunt? and...haven't we alll agreed that it was pure crap?
I like the art with an Annoy-O-Tron head though...
The difference is that that was a rare class card from TGT. This is a Common Neutral card from Karazhan, ergo it's slightly worse than said card, but will be in rotation until the year after next.
I disagree. The card that gives taunt requires you to give a minion taunt, if there is one. So if the opponent has a minion, you're giving that minion taunt. But nevertheless, this card is crap... better, but still crap.
Well, Ben Brode once said that this could be used strategically, to kill a minion that was hidden behind another taunted minion...lets say...you have only a Pit Fighter on the board, and opponent has Thaurissan and Shieldmaster...no real way to kill Thaurissan.hen you give him taunt and kill him, ignoring the Shieldmasta...but no one uses this strategy...
"card x is rotating out and this one isn't" is not an argument, you know...but I see your point. Still think both of them are pretty bad and they shouldn'r have done it, since they know it's bad, though...
The Black Knight
Oh wow! Bolster Warrior meta incoming!
I guess it's just another filler.
it's not about the card, it's about the idea of nerfing or buffing cards. its just lazy or even dumb to use a cardslot to reprint a really bad card with a still bad card.
the good, but not lucrative way would be to replace the useless classic cards. new players would have a tiny better chance of winning und could have another cool cards, but blizzard is just lazy and dont care about good game disign if they make money.
OMG I SO NEED THIS.
BLIZZARD, TAKE MY MONEY.
NOW
WILD: Is it better then Annoy otron? :) Annoy is still more sticky
not in a million years it will be better than Annoy-o-Tron on a defensively side of view. Could be better in Aggro decks at Rank 17 though...
Sure, it's a screw you to Frostwolf Grunt, but a fine card. I hope that they are saving the actually impressive cards for a later reveal. I haven't seen a Kel'Thuzad/Reno or even an Elise/Rafaam level quality card yet.
How dare Blizzard create cards that are better than the free cards and hide them behind a paywall. What do they want, money to pay voice actors and artist to make new content?
why is such a card an adventure card? it makes you wonder worth of this adventure
lots of bad cards so far
I find it surprising that day 1-3 I noted how bad the cards are, and was down-voted into oblivion, but then when a literal bad card is released, everyone is agreeing that the cards are bad.
That's the internet for ya. :)
To me the most important part of the adventure is the bosses. So i will happily buy even if all cards are shit xD
