    I'm not sure if this is good enough for self-damage warrior. Whirlwind might still be better.

    I feel like this will see play. Even if it doesn't see use for its frenzy or self damage synergy its a solid body with a board ping.

    I feel that this will see play, it's practically a double whirlwind. 

    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.

    Can be decent, not sure though. Might be a REALLY expensive "replacement" for Risky Skipper.

    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.

    Pretty strong, this triggers all of your other frenzy stuff, and at 6 health it is difficult to remove without triggering it again. I am sure this will find a place in a warrior deck somewhere.

    Whirlwind effects on a stick are usually good, double whirlwind effects even better, and now we have Frenzy as a big mechanic. Will definitely be played.

    It's OK. That's a lot of Health to deal with, which makes it likely that the Frenzy gets triggered, but the payoff of a "free" Whirlwind doesn't sound all that appealing. My instinct says this card doesn't make the cut in most Warrior decks.

    I have spoken.

    A lot of Frenzy synergies with Warrior, that's really good.

    And scary in some way. Still I can't get a control deck running frenzies out of my head.

    Flexible, yet clumsy at the same time. Probably only reliable enough as a Frenzy activator, but I wouldn't count on this card clearing many boards.

    If Gruntled Patron sees play it will be because of this card.

    But the fact that his frenzy effect is likely to be triggered by your opponent means less control for you, and that's often enough what will likely sink this card to unplayable levels.

    The battlecry is good because it triggers your frenzy, the frenzy not that good since you already activated your frenzy juste before. They didnt printed new minions that get a lot of buffs by suffering damage so its a weird design

    It's generally good, but I don't think I want to run it with Saurfang.

    Agreed, seems like a bad resurrect target. Out of the three class Frenzy minions Warriors got, I'd only consider playing Stonemaul Anchorman with Saurfang.

    Looks underwhelming, honestly. If you want Whirlwind, you want it cheap, not on a 4-drop. Most useful as anti-aggro, but Warrior isn't lacking in boardclears.

    Nice 3/1 stealths you got there. Would be a shame if something happened to them. Twice.

    Looks nice for triggering Frenzy effects. No more Inner Rage, but there is Slam, but you'd need 6 mana to do both in the same turn. I think most things have more than 1 or 2 health by turn 4 anyway. Or just trade next turn.

    Warrior seems to be the best class to be able to reliably activate frenzy effects. This one just adds to that ability. I expect some form of frenzy warrior to be a thing.

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

    This is crazy good. Warrior just keeps getting more and more board clears. 

    Whirling Combatant is another good resurrect target for Overlord Saurfang, together with Stonemaul Anchorman and Blademaster Samuro. This will probably compete with Sword Eater as Warrior's best 4-drop, though I think the latter is still better.

    2 activators  in 1 card.

    Pretty certain this would see play see play especially now that Risky Skipper is rotating.

    Double whirlwind on a good stick, great sinergy with Warrior and Frenzy overall, strong card, staple in most decks from now on I guess

    Helping clearing out the board against aggro as well... Tempo Warrior is going to be strong

    Very nice Frenzy minion with some effects that are very solid in warrior. Good card.

    It's good. But would you want your Saurfang to bring this back? Probably not. Still interesting card.

    Feels like an obvious Warrior card. Not exciting, but an expected addition from this new Keyword.

    The big Frenzy card for warriors. I expect to see many games where these get resurrected by Saurfang, and there's 3 or 4 Whirlwinds that get triggered.

    Decent clear, tough body. Will see some use.

    I have no idea what's going on in this card art, but that's part of what makes it fun.  The stats are pretty average for the cost, but having potentially two whirlwind effects is quite powerful, especially with the right deck build.  It reminds me quite a bit of Blood Razor, which was a pretty decent card back in the day.

    Anti-aggro card and frenzy support card. Nice.

    This reminds me of Ravaging Ghoul that can also get another Whirlwind effect almost for free. This is all for one additional mana and synergizes well with Overlord Saurfang, who doesn't have a lot of great frenzy minions to resurrect outside of this and Stonemaul Anchorman.

    For glory, honor, and gold!
