I mean, the warrior one’s gonna be a rhino from what I remember, so no hope for that class at least.
Watching non-WoW players trying to navigate lore is cute.
Not sure about the Loa specifically, but I saw Warrior was gonna get Dragon synergy at least, I hope they throw in a fancy Dragon or two (or three) because the deck type Dragon Warrior sounds cool at the very least XD
This card makes me want to play WOTG Dragon Warrior again, but I don't feel like this card nor the deck really is possible anymore. This card takes a more controlling route, allowing you to fight for board harder, but given the current state of wild, I don't see this card being able to do anything. Kingsbane, Odd Paladin, Pirate Warrior and Big Priest honestly don't care about this card as one doesn't run any scary minions while the other will most likely just revive another massive taunt the next turn, while both Odd Paladin and Pirate warrior will just flood the board after this kills off one of their small minions. This leaves the only strong wild decks that are affected by this card to be Odd Rogue, Even Shaman and I guess Renolock. I fail to see how this card would be able to put up a huge fight against these types of decks given the current support dragon decks have. These decks are just vastly better than what Dragon Warrior is able to put up and I think it is going to be difficult for a deck like this to get any footing in Wild.
As for standard, I heavily doubt this will see any play unless good dragons and dragon synergies are made. If we were to get another card like Alexstrasza's Champion and actual decent dragons other than Cobalt Scalebane then maybe this card could see some play, I'm just skeptical as of now.
It could work in big minion warrior, because of ysera and deathwing and other classic dragons. It shouldnt be exactly odd warrior, but for example, yserra is popular dragon for warrior. It cost 9 so it could be even odd warrior. Of course right now mech stack with dr boom is better, but we can have new big ear archetype. For now I like this expansion.
Big warrior can't use this because this is a minion and you don't want to get a 3/2 from Gather Your Party, Woecleaver or The Boomship.
Control warrior and etc existed and before Woecleaver and Boomship. AS well in odd warrior right now, we can't have execute and we don't use recruit mechanic at all, so it may be good addition with yserra their.
I was replaying to the part of your comment that said 'it could work in big minion warrior'.
As a wild player, I love how Blizzard still supports a little bit wild decks
The dragon enthusiast in me is very happy to pop two of these in my Wild Dragon Warrior deck that's maintained its deck slot since Wild was first introduced.
Getting a 3/2 body and kill a minion for only 4 mana. That's insane good
It's 3 mana. It is very good but I think not overpowered. Compare with Vilespine Slayer: It costs two more, has 2 more health, and has an almost inarguably less difficult condition to meet.
This card is able to cost so little because the target needs to be both damaged and you need to be running a dragon warrior deck. Either of those alone would be more demanding requirements than vilespine.
Of course I don't think the card is weak. It's very strong, but I think well-balanced. I'm also hyped for the chance to play dragon warrior again.
Can't wait to see what kind of heavy metal-themed dragon they give warrior.
They wouldn't make this card and then not give it support right?
Geez I hope so, kinda scared though after they gave cathedral gargoyle to paladin.
A much better tempo card than Execute for in dragon warrior. I wish cards like these aren't epic though.
What if the Rhino counts as a dragon?
Imagine a king raptor making a joke like this XD
Needs a good dragon or two in the 3/5/7 slot to see play. Too many weak dragons in the past year, only good ones are in the 9 slot that I can recall.
Of course, Blizzard has 3 additional expansions past this one to print a card like that, so this card likely will see play at some point if not this expansion.
Very solid card in Dragon Warrior for Wild, we'll see if the new dragons are good enough to make this viable in standard
Yeeey finally a counter for shudderwuck shaman or togglew... Oh wait
Useless for odd warrior
