This is a really really good card
lol not at all
Warrior desperately needed a 2 mana weapon after win ax got turned into lose ax. While this is not nearly as good as war ax pre nerf it's still a good weapon. This curves nicely into the 4 mana 5/5 rush card if you manage to not swing with it for a turn.
Revisiting the Powermace idea? That's fine I guess.
I too expect the wording to be more clean than what we have now. But until we get the official confirmation for the text we'll go with this one, the effect is correct anyway.
What is unclean in "give a random friendly minion with rush...", could you explain yourself ? Or maybe it has already been changed
I expect the official version to have "Rush minion" instead of "minion with Rush" (compare with e.g. Bolster, "Taunt minions" and not "minions with Taunt"). Not massively shorter but I feel it's a bit more clean than this.
It will be a staple in Tempo Warrior and I think this deck will be good. Saying this is situational is like saying Rockpool Hunter is a situational card because it only buffs murloc.
I love that warrior have a pretty solid turn 2 weapon again, although the difference between 3 attack and 2 attack is enormous. All the OP 1-drops are 1/3s. This does better against cubelock to clear early librarians and mistress (although mistress is rotating and will likely be replaced in many decks by plated beetle, which this weapon is bad against). Minions in all the meta priest decks have 3 health minimum. This is a great tool against both murloc and dude paladin, though.
The ideal new tempo warrior play will be to play and use this on the opponent's 1 or 2 drop on turn 2, play a 3-mana rush minion on 3 and use the last hit of the weapon, buffing the rushing 3-drop for a dominating tempo opener. So a playable rush 3-drop will be one crucial element which tempo warrior potentially will need in the upcoming meta, imo. Currently warrior have Redband Wasp, Militia Commander, and Darius Crowley, a 2, 4, and 5-drop! It's like blizzard have made the same analysis as me and are trying to prevent tempo warrior from having too strong a tempo play across turns two and three. I really hope there does end up being a good rush 3-drop. Warrior need every push they can get to become playable again.
THE AXE SHOULD BE DOUBLE EDGED GODDAMMIT! X(
Finally something to play on turn 2 (lets be honest i want to save my Armorsmith girls)
Fiery War Axe died for this Kappa
P/S: seriously. This card is great You can play this turn 2 or 3 then attack and save the deathrattle for Militia Commander, Muck Hunter , Darius Crowley or even Redband Wasp would becomes much more impact. This card is very great with those synergies man
This reminds me a bit of Argent Lance, which was not really played. But it can be good enough, depending on how many rush minions make the cut.
This card will make those rush minions make the cut. It properly define the rush mechanic for Warrior
Good early game tempo with Redband Wasp
Not a bad card but can be better. Fiery War Axe is still the best option for Warrior weapon
Lets nerf fwa to make something better!!!
