These would probably go well in the taunt warrior deck that blizzard is still trying to make a thing. Should be able to play the worgan turn 4 behind at least 1 taunt with more than 2 health left. The worgan is also cheap removal bait if your opponent has no board.
Blizzard are on a strategy to just make us appreciate the old cards we called bad. Lost Tallstrider, I am sorry I offended you.
On another note, I feel sad about Hired Gun, what a waste of art work. They talked this card up so much during the panel about how he has rock-spitting gun and all the artistic ideas that went into it, I was really hoping for an interesting card.
Well, let's hope this one is the most "exciting" of all the reveals yet to come, gotta have some filler cards after all.
Blizzard design team: "Ok, let's make some more vanilla minions that nobody will ever use, except maybe in Arena if they are unlucky enough. Now it's going to be a 6/3 4-drop. Then we need a 3/6 in the next expansion. And after that we need to release a 7/2 (we already have a 2/7) 4-drop. What the hell, let's do it, let's also make a 8/1 4-drop (as we already have a 1/8). And hey! Let's call it Super Magma Rager!".
Whats wrong with that?
There needs to be common cards for the packs. Not everything can be rare, epic, or legendary. Not that you need to love common neutral cards but they need to be there for pack filler.
why not just put 5 dust instead of Rager Worgen in my pack?
Because you can't get 5 dust from Unbalanced Portal and other RNG cards or Arena.
I understand the fact that arena players (and I was one of them for a long time) deserve some good vanilla cards but I don't like paying for them. I don't know, release an arena only expansion but don't make constructed players pay for arena players.
I know everything you just said but be honest, even a new player will never play a 6/3 over a 4/5 yeti for instance, plus there's a huge emphasis for new players to buy or get free classic packs from the very beginning of the game.
6/3 powercreep of Ice Rager, 4/3 taunt powercreep of Pompous Thespian.
I was hoping not see cards like that in this expansion, or at least with some little bonus (like a beast tag for the 6/3, it wouldn't be a worgen in that case). Just two in one day is too much for my little heart FeelsBadMan.
I sincerely like both of these cards. Nice vanilla filler (vaniller?), thematic, and experiments with new stat blocks.
You gotta love how people moan about how blizzard never prints arena cards. And then when they do, people moan about how they suck in constructed or it's "filler".
these are not arena cards, these arent cards at all. theres already cards that do the EXACT same thing
almost as if everyone who plays hearthstone doesn't have the same opinion!
No-text vanilla-statted cards are important in a game where cards can appear randomly - in arena drafts, sure, but moreso for random summoning effects. If you get a "random 2 drop", the odds should be heavily in favor of you getting something with a certain statline rather than some understatted card with a battlecry you don't benefit from (or an overstatted card with a drawback that doesn't affect you).
Very good points. While these cards do nothing to help build new decks, they are still welcome additions to the game. Not every card needs to be groundbreaking for them to have a worthwhile effect on the overall game.
this expansion keeps looking dumber and dumber, a clear tgt/karzhan quality expansion, and to think we hoped for a loe/tog quality expansion
Almost 100 cards left and you are already taking conclusions... calm your tits boi.
