    Stonehill Defender for warriors...

    [edit] As much as I'm annoyed from seeing a reprint of this card, I can't help but admire the art. It brings me nostalgic memories from good ol' Scooby Doo series.

    That's typically the placeholder name OOC (formerly HP) gave cards until they had the confirmed name.

    Certainly looks like it, Blizzard is no stranger to pop culture references, so very well might had been requested to look close enough like Shaggy :) Maybe once we see the flavor text, we can know more :)

    Bit low on health for a taunt. And which one do you want to discover now The Lich King is gone?

    Remember Paladin with "out of my Jungle" to Tarim? This will be warriors equivalent for Armagedillo or [Hearthstone Card (Zillax) Not Found].

    2 mana 2/2 with battlecry: draw/discover a card is super strong. 

    If taunt warrior becomes a legitimate deck this is an automatic 2-off.

    I like that this is so useful and good, AND a common.  An expansion that is actually beneficial for new players or players on a budget is a direction I'd like to see Hearthstone continue in.

    I don't get the flavor of this card. Why has a frightened flunky taunt himself? It makes sense, that he discoveres a taunt. But he can't really taunt himself, if he is frightened...

    This and Armagedillo are currently the only Warrior taunts in Standard....meaning INFINITE VALUE

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Completely agree, nothing about this art says 'taunt'. Usually there's some visual cue like a really big strong looking character or someone holding a shield or something that suggests that they'd stand in your way but this guy looks like he just wants to avoid confrontation and would be more likely to have stealth than taunt.

    Being a flunky, it's his job to act as a meat shield for whomever he is protecting (the guy that is discovered).

    I remember seeing Mountainfire Armor called "Fluffy Fire Armor" and Oaken Summons being called "Fluffy Druid Tree Dude".  Those gave me some laughs.

    Oh yeah, these Forum Signatures are a thing.

    He wants to hide but cannot so no stealth.  He is shaking in his boots and his bones are rattling loudly ( just like the Scooby Do cartoon).  He is drawing a whole lot of attention to himself so therefor he has taunt.

    Now the real question is: will Shaggy be able to discover Scooby Do ( a new taunt beast) to come and save the day?

    2/2 taunt for 2 was never played before but so was a 1/4 taunt for 3, I didn't see people complain the stats are too poor yet, but just pointing out that the effect is just really really good as we saw a that Stonehill Defender was the most played card in the game (mostly because it could discover itself though)

    Now this is not only able to discover itself but it's a class card so it's likely to discover itself.

    This card is also cheaper which is a big deal actually since it's still a decent speed bump for aggro while being able to be more flexible in your curve as well as discovering Armagedillo to buff other taunts you might be running.. but even if you don't run tautn warrior this goes into every warrior deck anyway this card is proven to be really good at a higher price (this is 2 mana for 4 stats vs 3 mana for 5 stats)

    If there is a taunt Warrior deck, this card is amazing.

    I am only assuming, in the most hypothetical way, that its a question that implies advance knowledge in meme history - circa January 2019th- as well as a speculative relation to the invincible Shaggy trend ^^

    This card will definitely see play, whether or not a new Taunt Warrior archetype emerges in standard. It's just that good, and even better than Stonehill Defender--it's cheaper, and its stats are more balanced for its cost.

    Very good, and with the 1 Mana Buff up Taunts this is a 2 mana 4/4 who gives you another taunt !
