The design for this is pulling in too many directions. It's a 1-drop that looks like a tempo card, but which can't really take advantage of its ability if you play it on 1 because it will be the only damaged character. Also, it gains the buff after damage is dealt, so a 3/2 on 2 can trade into it safely before its ability ever triggers. That said, I think that this will be played if aggro warrior is a thing, simply because this is a 1-mana 1/3 with upside, and that's a stat line that has a long history of seeing play in aggro.
I think you want to get too much value out of this you think this is somehow not a tempo card. You play this on turn one and your opponent can't play a 1/1 or a 2/1 without getting punished for it.
It's a god tier one drop and in a tempo deck, and that's all it really needs to be.
Having said that, Charge is back, so gettin more out of it is definitely possible.
I totally disagree with you jsager99. 1 mana 1/3 are always played even without keywords. This card can also trade all minions in tier 1. It is strong very strong and it will be played also outside aggro.
That's what I said. Read the last line of my comment again.
Well, its just mediocre 1/3 for tempo warrior that will have attack bonus once per 10 games.
A 1 Mana 1/3 is always decent, but the mechanic it self isn't very impressive. A small upgrade for Warbot, without the Mech type. I don't know about this one.
*sad Warbot noises*
Feels kinda bad for now we have to see more cards for a frenzy warrior

What ” Charge card ”
Charge is reverted again
So what? You have to attack with this minion to gain the bonus damage. so you can not attack again to go OTK face. Please read
I think you're the one who should read ;) Frenzy doesn't necessarily need the minion to attack for it to be activated. A whirlwind would be enough for example.
scaling 1/2 one drops, Battlefiend...
Battlefiend can scale multiple times, making it an impressive early threat. This one only triggers Frenzy once, after it survives damage. That's way more conditional. Still, good statline, so might see play in some decks regardless.
The comparison with Battlefiend is actually pretty viable.
You could play this, attack face with it and then Cruel Taskmaster it for a 5/2 and a 2/2 on turn 2. (damaged character includes heroes and itself). That seems slightly better than Battlefiend tbh.
Also, a bit more realistic, you could simply attack into a 1 or 2 attack minion with 1 health and this gains at least 1 attack (for itself), making it a delayed 2/3 for 1, which is very solid and the worst case scenario for this card.
I have absolutely no doubt that this will see play if tempo warrior is at least decent.
This can be more explosive than battlefiend. Upsides and downsides to both.
Oh boy, with the "new" charge card i can already see people trying to make an otk from this. Ignoring the fact that it wil cap at 16 at most and which is hightly unlikely already...but still, a man can dream
Don't you realise that for this card to gain the bonus damage you have to attack with it and survive (Frenzy)? What OTK are you talking about? Seriously
You can trigger Frenzy by damaging it in other ways.
