Playable or not art is amazing.
About being playable, even if not in deck there is always chance you will get this from Discover (from Assembly or Hero Power) and with Rush from Hero its really preeettty good.
I agree re: the amazing art, I just don't like how the image border on the card really crowds it. It makes it look like the Reaver is wielding a maul, but it's really a sick battle axe when you see the full art :(
playable good value card
This seems not bad. The 7/9 body is beefy and oftentimes you'll have played Dr. Boom hero already so this will have rush. Already big value, but then if you summon a decent minion or even a target minion then this is well worth the price. The fact that it summons a copy instead of recruiting is huge. Just gobs of value.
you all forget something: it's a mech, so Dr. Boom, Mad Genius will give it rush. it's a 7/9 rush + copy of a minion from your deck with rush. seems pretty good for mech warrior.
This into Akali, the Rhino bump-kill into Oondasta next turn 12/12 rush minion into something big? O yes! O wait why did i put Nightmare Amalgam in this deck again? #thememesgonewrong
To tell how bad this and Dimensional Ripper are just look at Ultimate Infestation in comparison.
okay but you could compare just about any card to ultimate infestation and say it's garbage, that isn't a very good argument
No the argument is this is a 10 mana card that is reliant on too many conditions to be good. You have to draw all your low drops first out of your deck and none of your big minions in order for this card to get it's value. Your opponent has to have minions on board to get value out of the Rush keyword. It's also a dead draw against Combo decks and you can say "Oh Combo is going to be dead if you play those anti-combo cards" but the thing is they're all minions that dilute your deck of things to pull with this card.
The fact of the matter is you're spending your entire turn paying 10 mana for a 7 drop worth of stats and a random minion without bettering your situation without relying on RNG.
There is a lot of room to be worse than UI and still be good.
I'm not saying that these cards are fantastic, just that they're probably not as terrible as people are thinking. Lots of other 10 mana cards are worse than Ultimate Infestation and still saw play (Deathwing, Old Gods, Tyrantus, etc.).
I know you want to have your cake and eat it too but conditions are a good thing. That's what makes a card potentially powerful but not an OP auto-include like UI.
Or, you use this in a Recruit Warrior build (which seems ro be 1 of the 2 Warrior themes) where you cheat out all of your minions (which are all 6+ mana)... One of the other realeased Warrior cards was summon 2 copies of minions from your deck for 9 mana... They're replacing Woecleaver and Gather Your Party... In Wild they'll have insane cheat cards especially since the new ones summon copies.
Seeing these big warrior cards. Maybe we will get something like Bloodbloom to cheat it?
Did i miss some cards? Maybe they are in the dump at the end? Is warrior getting mana ramp to actually get to 10 before everyone else to make all these 10 drops playable before they get run flat?
Really I dont have any idea how Big Warrior gonna survive till turn 10. No good armor card revealed. No good mid game weapon revealed while we lost Blood razor. No good early removal spell revealed ( Bash like spell would be nice) . No turn5-turn6 cheating spell revealed like Big Priest or Big Shaman. We cant ramp like Druid. How the hell the deck gonna survive till turn 8 is beyond me.
When I look at this card, what comes to my mind isn't rather or not it's powerful. I'm just board stiff with what it does. Recruitment and/or summon deckcopy minions are just some mechanics I never found very interesting.
Big disappointment, this card could be easily a 8 mana drop or a taunt.
u mad bra?
it gains Rush after Dr. Boom, Mad Genius
