Varian better have an interaction when played against Anduin like Illidan and Malfurion.

I think Rhonin could be very good too. It could replace Toshley for Antonidas synergy or you could use it in something like a Malygos deck. It's also not bad if you happen to draw your Flamewakers super late.
It's not a "holy crap" effect like Varian's but it could be a really solid card.

Deathrattle put 3 arcane missiles? That looks like it should be a battlecry to make the card really good, but what do I know
Well, you slap him down, if he gets silenced, that's one less silence for your archmage the next turn. He's a total silence taunt.
If he doesn't, you now have 3 1-mana spells, 9 damage, and 3 fireballs with archmage.

You could make a deck with a bunch of charge minions. Get a 7/7, Grom, and 2 Korkron Elites for 10 mana. Arcane Golem and Leeroy would be great there too. Kel'Thuzad could be really good if you pulled him and two chargers because you could board wipe the other guy and get them back at the end of the turn.

How many Legendaries do we have now that give you lots of cards? Neptulon gives you four Murlocs, and now Rohnin and Wrynn also give you three cards(Though Wrynn is from your own deck). Guess you could count Anub'Arak as well technically, he 'draws' himself and a Nerubian.

Is it just me or is there not another card vote set up? Might just be lag on the server though.
Also, Ram Wrangler is a bit of a tongue twister.

So I noticed there's no new card vote. Maybe release will be next week?

Judging by my Webspinner pulls, this will be Captain's Parrot 90% of the time. I can't wait to get demolished by free King Krushes.
Nah, it's 'cause they are gonna reveal all the cards on Friday.
I wonder if it can summon huffer/leok/misha/doggies or if it follows webspinner rules.
You basically need to summon a beast of 3 mana or more for it to be worth it, not to mention the conditional. Unless you're running a brand new beast deck, I don't see this being great. Not great at all in arena.
I love Varian. Yeah you might lose out on battlecrys but free beefy minions is still crazy powerful. Even if you don't get any free minions, 10 mana 7/7 draw 3 is not the worst. Consider ancient of lore, which is crazy good, and for 3 more mana you get 2/2, draw a card, and sometimes you draw like 5 innervates.

I think it's easy to see Control Warrior being melded to make Varian work. Paying 10 mana on one minion would hardly be a downside if Varian brought out Ysera alone. Ysera + Ragnaros + Sylvanas would be game over.
Is that true or speculation? How long before gvg were full cards revealed?

Varian Wrynn. Holy shit. Day one golden craft.
Drawing three cards at once is a powerful thing but playing them also is just amazing if you get minions.
Only thing is is that CW thrives on playing minions that do things when they are played so the timing may be bad. Also, he's very expensive so I'd have to run him in a deck with Thaurissan.
I'm interested to see if he'll fit but it'd have to be a Warrior deck that is a bit more cut down as far as minions with battlecries.
Rhonin is Antonidas food. Period.

More shit hunter cards.
I don't think it's very hard to get to 10 mana with a Control Warrior, and at that point you've just put a 7/7 and up to three other minions on the board.
Ready for the Turn 5 Gahz summons.
I think Rhonin is solid for freeze mage or other mages that run archmage. Replaces stuff like toshley.
Yeah, Toshley is the main comparison point here. It's two more mana, but you get more usable spells.
That said, how many decks run Toshley at this point?

Dodge Ram and Jeep Wrangler. Two different trucks.

He can be great even if you don't get the battlecry, for the sheer swing he can provide on board.
At the very least he draws 3 cards which is great when CW faces control decks or runs out of gas vs. a mid-range deck.

True. Just pointing out it's expensive. Expensive, but insane even for that cost.
I will attempt to put it in multiple Warrior decks.
Speculation, but I feel pretty confident about it. It was about a week before release that the GvG card dump happened.
And far more vulnerable to silence. It hurts me inside every time I have to silence a 1/1 minion that was summoned as just a little add on to a big 7/7 minion, and even then, Boom has one unsilenced bot left.
Compare to Neptulon, which did see play for quite a while. Might even see a come back if slower Shamans start working again.
Yes, I'm not saying he's bad, just not my type of card at all. I am a very value oriented player.
