This care is mad op in wild bolster warrior… Sleeper deck for sure 🙂
A full-on taunt warrior deck won’t be good enough unless there’s a lot more support, which is unlikely. Don’t think this makes it into the taunt package either which is becoming an intriguing option for control warrior. 2/5
Its a cool card, works well with zilliax, but not enough value to work in any kind of controlish warrior deck as taunt warrior will be. Just feels a little out of line from other warrior cards.
Taunt Warrior won’t work without printing more good Warrior taunts. You can’t just print a bunch of taunt buffs and expect us to work with taunts we already have. 2/5.
Are we reviewing the card, or the “Taunt Warrior” archetype?
I think the card its self is very powerful. I mean, even as a “give Zilliax +2+2” that would be devastating vs Aggro.
I agree it depends on many other factors, but any 1 mana card that can buff between say 1 and 5 minions with +2+2 has to be regarded as decent?
4/5
give taunt minions 2/2 on warriors taunt minion is equal nonsense. 1/5.
Please push this just this expansion, and never again so is just annoying enough
This card does have its uses sure you need taunts in hand to play but then there’s infested goblin that on death puts 2 1/1 taunts into your hand play this and those become 3/3 1 Mana taunts plus whatever other taunts had in hand.
If don’t get a win condition for this standard can always take this into wild and run with quest or odd quest warrior.
I’m not sure what the win condition for Taunt Warrior is. Control Warrior aims to kill you with fatigue damage, and gets there with a powerful removal suite plus Dr. Boom Mad Genius giving all mechs rush to assert board control. Bomb Warrior kills you with bombs plus Blastmaster Boom, whose Boom Bots deal 15 total damage on average.
Do you play for fatigue as well with Taunt Warrior? I don’t think handbuffing taunts will be as effective as having a bunch of mechs with Rush. Is Taunt Warrior an aggressive or midrange tempo deck? That might be good vs. aggro, but I imagine it would struggle badly vs. Control.
Absent a coherent game plan for winning the game, I don’t think you can make a good deck by dropping some large taunt minions on the board and hoping for the best, this needs more support. 2/5
Soul Infusion was good with the right targets, so this is like… even better. I still feel like we need a proper “payoff” card for Taunt minions though, just slapping em down with boosted stats doesn’t feel game winning enough.
I don’t share the optimism. Back in 2018 taunt warrior had like 13 taunts. Even then I wouldn’t add this card to that deck. Taunt warrior was about control, finish with the 8 dmg hero power. This card is more like a tempo card, it would have been so much better when it says ‘give all RUSH minions in hand +2+2’.
So many Warrior taunt cards coming out. Makes me wonder if the new quest will be taunt-related, too!
now i suddently want to go back to wild and play my old quest warrior with this card and the new legendary armagedillo
Cool. Now we just need (decent) minions with taunt for the warrior.
Run goldshire footman?
such a cool, new and exciting mechanic.
In before Warrior quest reward: fill your hand with taunt minions…
This is Smuggler’s ride x2 in a single card for taunts which is quite insane, gonna have to see the new taunt minions though, right now it’s not quite enough
The quest rewards are upgraded hero powers.
Scaring New Taunt Mech Control Mad Genious Bomb Warrior. Blizzard it’s enough for now.
Now that’s what I’m talking about! Already a much better solution than using Armagedillo, even though Armagedillo can take this buff too. I’m now able to give Armagedillo a second chance, because the first time I saw him, there was just no way of using that card. But now you able to give your Taunt Minions +4/+4 with the help of Into the Fray. 5 Stars. And this will see experimentation for Taunt Warrior again. Myself Included.
I’ll admit, I might be wrong about Armagedillo now.
There is just Armagedillo as a taunt minion for worrior. You could go for mechs, there are a few with taunt, but is it worth running those?! I don’t think so…
a Pandaren commanding Mogu warriors? O.o … lore just got butchered
Pandaren commanding mogu was previously seen in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, to be fair, with Aya Blackpaw calling on Kun the Forgotten King to spawn mogu Jade Golems.
It looks like Mr. Chu, the Warrior minion in Dalaran Heist is leading this fray, so it makes sense for him in villainous context?
I have not much to say about this, except it looks strong. +2/+2 is a relevant buff for 1 mana, especially if it improves two minions or more. Very cost-efficient card.
