    probably hiding from Zephrys pulling Ooze.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    NOt really sold on this one. Pretty easy to get through for aggro decks who usually deal cip damage anyways.

    A great tool against burn/combo decks, but then again, it's easily countered by Ooze or Zephrys, which those decks can easily tech in.

    At the very least it has a fair cost. Maybe there's some self-damaging cards that like to play with this. Hoard Pillager is a thing still.

    Zephrys probably will be awful against this card. He doesn't see special effects.

    Funny card. Immunity for 4 hits. Bad against aggro, good against control and some combo decks.

    What's the most powerful card in Hearthstone?

    A credit card.

    He still recognizes weapons as something to offer ooze against

    Cool card! If you can manage to upgrade it with one card or the other it could be really useful. Vunerable to Zephrys/Ooze though.

    One of those cards I see nerfed in the future. Easy to play around through ooze, but with ice block block it was a similar situation and they even removed it. 

    I think that card is a little bit overstated. 1/3 would be enough

    He don't need to, because Zephyr see Weapon, zephyr offers Ooze, except there's a big board that he thinks clear/buffs, etc. is more important.

    I could be wrong but this does not look very fun, good or interesting. The cards that upgrade your weapon are usually aggro cards. You dont wanna waste mana or cards on armor when you can be hitting face.

    It's a cool card, but I'm skeptical about how useful it will be.

    If anything, I guess it's a warrior ping.

    I gave it 5 stars just because it represents the shield I was using to transmog all my shields when I was playing back in the days. 

    As a solid protection - I am with everyone else - it's easily bypassed by an awful lot of things.

    Not sure about this card. In the worst case it's 3 mana for 4 health, but most of the times this shield will deny way more damage.

    It's also interesting that Warrior get's again a legendary weapon.

    This + Hoard Pillager = yes, you are never dying to damage OTK combos ever again

    Its interesting, as a card. It really boils down to whether weapon destruction is a thing again in standard. If not, then this card will cause some trouble to decks that dont go wide on board.

    Interesting tech card to counter combo decks.

    Limited usefulness against token decks though.

    This is a tech card for control warrior.  This card is about a year too late to be relevant, maybe it would have been played during rise of shadows control war and/or during specialist format.  There are niche situations where it's good against big burst damage, but a lot of decks can use little chip damage to easily get through this, and it just does so little proactively.  It's no ice block/time out, you can still die the turn after you play this.  As of right now this is a tempo meta and this new expansion seems to be making that even more so, and this is just an anti-tempo card.

     

    2/5.  

    It only gets a 2 because it does have niche situations where its good.

    anti-OTK, pairs with Hoard Pillager in a really focused fatigue warrior, but idk if that's a possibility with the sheer quantity of aggro out here

    Cool card, hope I still beat it with aggro

    Attacking with this weapon feels so bad I mean it loses 2 durability for doing so.

    don't see where this card fits.. control warrior? I mean.. it's probably a worse shieldblock.

    this is a pretty dope card that gives you a 4x 1 dmag haven. its true you can ooze this but i think this is more of a delay than necessary removal. since warrior isn't just going to carry one weapon..

    I love the design of this card. Can be super strong in some situation, and super weak in other. Can be used multiple time thanks Hoard Pillager but it's mean that u will not play other weapon. With invoke you can trade without worry, but galakrond warior aren't a control deck.

    Anyway this will not see play until some pro find the perfect deck/spot where Warrior will abuse it

    Very cool control warrior card that fills me with good memories of the Burning Crusade. Will it be any good? Sadly, I don't think so. Control warrior typically removes every minion your opponent plays, and this won't slow your opponent down much.

    I like the idea, but it's quite situational for a legendary.

    I feel as-though the negatives around this card outweigh the positives. Zephrys the Great can ruin your day, as can a simple Arcane Missiles.

    Could be anywhere from gain 4 armor to a Time Out!. Very matchup dependant. Might see play if malygos based combos become powerful. As a side note, use it in fatigue warrior + 2 coldlights to take no damage while killing your opponent?

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    This is just a wall for warrior to hide behind while the gain additional armor and restore health.

    You can't attack with it, and as others mentioned against chip damage it completely falls apart

    Same with what i've said under Kargath Bladefist, this kind of cards regenerate the warrior interest in me. I don't like warrior since boomsday, maybe it is the time for me to return to play warrior.

    Warrior as a tank is flavorful enough. Yes this get removed by zeph, ooze, and others, but i guess everybody will be busy teching silence that this could work.

    The flavor is on point, but I don't think it will be very good. It is too easy for your opponent to deal small amounts of damage to you so that this will only block 6-12 damage, which doesn't really seem that great.

    Seems alright, given that against aggro you’re just trying to survive until your board clears most of the time. This buys you a turn, which is amazing

    Great defensive tool, will likely see play in control Warrior decks. Most likely to shine against spell Mages.

    Great against TALL boards (lookin at you, Embiggen Druid) but just about useless against wide boards. Worth trying out.
