    It's interesting but too inconsistent as a life gain option.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Amazing taunt and a great way of gaining some armor, will 100% see play in control decks!

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    this is a good anti-aggro tool, even if there's not much armor, its a good stat taunt.

    Solid body for a taunt, but the ability is unlikely to be great. Frenzy does not activate if it dies.

    I think the frenzy gained will be limited, but nice to see frenzy in a few different ways. 

    At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit. 

    Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.

    This feels so much like a Warrior card, really glad is common though since it is a good defensive tool. Too bad most of the time I don't think this survives the attack and if it did it didn't gain enough armor to care.

    Unless your opponent has an instant kill spell or is playing big druid, it is impossible to get rid of this without triggering the frenzy. However, it isn't hard for your opponent to just ping via hero power or run an insignificant whelp into it so that it only triggers for 1-2 armor. Also, unlike other frenzy minions, it is pretty hard for you to utilize this by damaging your own minions since almost nothing lets you hit your own guys that hard without killing them.

    Ideal world it get to 1HP, but knowing the state of the game, and the tokens available, you'll get 1 armor 99% of the time.

    Not really that good, but in arena it would be good.

    Even if you manage to get 6 armor off of this, I feel like that's going to be inconsequential in the long run.

    I'm sure every class has better 5-drops.

    The frenzy effect is going to result in 1-2 armor most of the time since your opponent will have the initiative in triggering the effect. I mean, you could nuke your own minion to get more armor, but that seems like a lot of hoops to jump through and mana to use to get at most six armor.

    This is one of those frenzy effect where you want to proc it with one damage, as the opponent. Might see play in frenzy warrior, but has anti synergy with Saurfang, so maybe it won't see play.

    It looks good, but bear in mind that this is a 5 mana card, and while this can theoretically gain you health, its more likely to just give you 1 extra health before it gets taken down along with your face.

    If your life hinges on this card, well, then that's not really saying much isn't it?

    This one looks like a decent control deck add in. It has taunt and the potential for some meaningful armor gain. I kind of like it.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    Statline is not impressive, Frenzy is not only not impressive but hard to use to its full potential. Too weak to see meaningful play.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    Interesting effect, but probably not strong enough for constructed.

    Decent taunt neutral. Nice pickup from Jandice.

    I dislike this card from a flavor perspective. Hope it won't see play. Probably a card for arena

    Interesting design but probably too weak for Constructed.

    Warrior card in disguise? Maybe you could Shield Slam this as long as you didn't already have 7+ armor. Which is unlikely if you're playing warrior.

    A Frenzy you don't want to activate yourself, which is interesting enough. Don't think it's actually that good for Constructed though.

    This is an interesting card.  The stats are kind of average for the cost, but the taunt is nice.  The most armor you can get out of it (without buffs) is 6.  The problem is if you can't trigger the frenzy yourself you're at your opponent's mercy, in which case you have to hope that they can't just ping it.

    Usually you want to trigger frenzy with the least amount of damage possible, but not with this guy, so that probably excludes it from warrior -- you don't want to bring them back with Saurfang!

    Alright taunt, armor for extra survivability. Might make a home in taunt druid with discounts?
