    Another stat-stick. Do I smell the return of recruit warrior? This card is probably worse than ragnaros in any deck that wants a big minion that throws out damage, just because rag does more face damage if the board is clear, but the 3/3s are good.

    Sees play only in big warrior, if that exists.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    Kinda reminds me of pre-nerf Priestess of Fury. Is that good or is that bad I do not know.

    This card is really good like Priestess of Fury and Ragnaros the Firelord

    they seem to be pushing CW and CW used to play rag (well every deck used to play rag) this is even better (unless you board is full and it's mostly not in CW decks) , it leaves some bodies your opponent needs to take out.. and it's repeatable? and ALSO this can be 2 off?

    This card is insane if you can play the control/midrange game with warrior.

    Seems like a decent clear, and it might be difficult to remove. It does say "Random Enemies", which includes FACE. I do smell perhaps a comeback of recruit/Big warrior??? This seems really good to pull from a Dimensional Ripper! Thats a 10 mana 12/16 "Deal 12 dmg to random enemies". Or if board is empty this is just a way better Pyroblast. This card has a lot of potential, as long as it gets more support.. And warrior gets more clears. Sure last year we were joking about Warrior having too many board clears, but now the lack of board clears are what is holding warrior back. (And running the pirate/Ancharrr package takes a lot of space in your deck)

    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.

    Interesting. This looks like a solid body that summons what remind me of [Hearthstone Card (Kolbold Berserker) Not Found]s. Fits the flavor of a bully ringleader very well.

    I think this card is fantastic.  It can control the board, pressure the board with bodies, and pressure the opponent's face with damage.  A great card to help close out games w/ Control Warrior.

    Also win more but it's ok while slightly behind, since it deals 2 instances of 3 damage to random targets.

    I could see this being a thing in an aggressive deck as sort of a finisher, kind of like Nagrand Slam. In a more control deck though it doesn’t seem that useful since any targets your opponent would have would likely be too big for 3-6 damage to matter much to them

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    If you wanna a 8 mana finisher for warrior, just put Grommash Hellscream on deck.

    That card isn't for aggro decks, maybe fits on midrange or big.

    Not sure about the randomness, but then again that didn't stop Priestess from maiming the meta. Is there a point to midrange Warrior anymore?

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    It's kinda like pre-nerf Priestess of Fury, although the damage output is a bit less spread out. That can sometimes be better, and other times it can be worse. Between this and Rattlegore, it seems that there might be a Big Warrior archetype coming.

    8 mana may be a bit much, but the effect is pretty strong. I don't think it will be nearly as good as priestess of the fury because she was able to spread out the damage more evenly, which made her slightly more consistent. This only hits two targets, and if those miss, then you wasted your turn. I also don't like that they can hit face. It does make this a finisher card, but it also makes it less reliable as a board clear type thing. 

    I am getting a "big warrior" vibe from a lot of these cards. It would be interesting to see how they support that archetype.

    Very strong card that actually does something on 8 and needs to be removed before it does more harm. And if its on an empty board, you still get two 3/3s.

    Its just that powerful, but fortunately in a class that is not famed for midrange, and its likely too slow for aggro.

    Priestess of Fury, except there's no way (at present) to cheat it out. So its kinda balance in my opinion.

    8-mana 6/8 with another 6/6 on board and possible instant 6 face damage.

    I think that this is going to see more play that people may think.  The cost is manageable in the meta for warrior, but the fact that you get an additional 6/6 in stats each turn it is in play is really abusive.

    Reminds me a bit like Deathwing, Mad Aspect but is more useful when you are ahead than behind.

    Doesn't have the same removal power but leaves behind a hard to remove big body.

    I like this card. Nice body, lots of stats. Sure the 3/3s won't kill much late game but on and empty board or with some on minion attack/death triggers this could have some fun utility.

    While this card is slow, it has a proactive end of turn effect.  It's actually quite similar to Priestess of Fury, but the major difference is that PoF can be cheated out for 5 mana.  Imo, this card has significantly better chances of being played over Rattlegore due to the fact that it's a big body that immediately summons 6/6 worth of stats that attack your opponent's face or minions and continues to do so if it's not dealt with.

    Absolutely nutty card, I think some people are underrating the absolute raw power of this thing. The only way it doesn’t see play is if the metagame is just way too fast that a 8 drop will get you killed. (Looking at you, Hunter/Demon Hunter fusion

    This is very, very good. 6 end of turn damage can be huge and this time it comes with bodies. Played on an empty board (like after Plague of Death) it's a total of 12/14 bodies with 6 face damage for 8 mana. Consistent and strong, 5/5 from me.

    I'm a little surprised at how good this seems. A 6/8 unit is worth about 6 mana, and dealing 3 damage twice is certainly worth more than 2 (Multi-Shot would have you believe it's worth 4, but that's a pretty weak card).

    On an empty board it's totally insane (12/14 in stats and a fireball to the enemy's face), and even on a board with several enemy minions it's pretty strong. The only catch is that it's board-limited on your side, but that seems pretty minor. If your board fills up, you're winning anyway, and if your board doesn't fill up, you keep getting 3/3s.

    this guy's an absolute slam pick in arena, good stats that make more stats. 

    in constructed he's a big guy that can cast fireball or frostbolt (damage equivalent) to your opponents minions.

    8 health is pretty big, so he's not easy to remove also.

    The tokens can go face ... Yiiikeesss... Same stats as Chromaggus but it actually do something boardwise. Very frightening if it is cheated out.

    This card can be used with or over Grommash Hellscream in a "if this is damaged don't call it Enrage" deck as another finisher, though that deck doesn't have a huge need for one.

    Still a pretty good realtively fast big threat with a continuous effect.

    This end turn effect is better than Priestess of Fury coz the 3/3 Ruffians stay on the board if they survive, which makes the increase in 1 mana much more reasonable

    This card is pretty good.  Some of the tempo warrior deck shave ran deathwing and they all run grom now, and this kind of does similar things as both and its arguably better than deathwing for a midrange/temp deck

    It pushes more damage than grom without an activator so it's a lot better to jam on 8 if you don't have the activator, but grom has the combo potential.

    It's kind of better than deathwing in some ways.  Deathwing has a lot more board control potential but it also wrecks your own board.  This puts more stats and bodies on an empty board than deathwing AND goes face for six, and it does have some board clearing potential but RNG based and not as strong as deathwing.

     

    I think this finds a home.

    A new god for the Arena pantheon? Jokes aside, this packs a punch, and could very well hold its own in standard. Popping off 6 damage, even across bodies, is always great, and Troublemaker has a good chance to stick around with its statline. If this comes out any earlier than Turn 7 it could be devastating.

    This card is insane on its own, but 8 mana is a lot to ask for in a constructed deck. I wonder if there are going to be more tools that will bring back Control Warrior to life. I know this looks more like a finisher for aggro deck, but could also act as a way to get back on board or if left unchecked as a wincon for a slower deck. Could even make its way into a deck that creates copies of friendly minions, tho you can utilize max 3 Troublemakers at once, you do need a board space to spawn the tokens.

    Of course is similar to Priestess of Fury...and I like it ! Don't forget that if 3/3 trade and survive (or it face) they will stay on board...so it will not be ignored to avoid a snowball situation

    It's a great card. Almost a Ragnaros, but it can attack and distribute its damage over multiple opponents. Sometimes that will be bad, sometimes that will be great.

    Feels very good should some sort of Big or Control Warrior make a rise. Unfortunately, I don't know if it quite makes it into the more aggressive lists we see right now - it has such a high mana cost for them.

    They are pushing the Recruit Warrior with the last 2 years.

    Absolute tempo swing, and if you manage to clear the board is a constant damage to face. And if the 3/3 token live, will snowball very fast

    Bells are going off in my head screaming this is the next Priestess of Fury, but I don't think Troublemaker has the same class context as Priestess. First, Warrior already has a great 8 mana play to finish the game with Grommash Hellscream. Second, DH has Raging Felscreamer to curve into a cheated-out Priestess; Warrior can't cheat Troublemaker out that effectively. I think Troublemaker will make more sense once to Enrage package with Risky Skipper, Bomb Wrangler, and Bloodsworn Mercenary rotate out, but I don't think it has the right context to see play in Scholomance.
