yea not sure how I feel about the warrior card right now. I could actually see it in a cthun warrior deck. Echo the cthun activators back to hand and guarantee the 10 armor guy in the late game.

Interesting card, ton of potential. Will be interesting to see where it fits in to existing warrior decks or if it spawns a whole new archetype.
this is why i think i'll avoid Wild.
i remember that raid..good times....
That last lose is pretty brutal
enemy only has 3 HP left, he almost perfect
lose, lmao
he first made a "i hate deathwing" video, then recently made a card about how good deathwing is.
i think he's going to back to hating it now lol
Another Grommash alone would be great value. Just
In what world are you going to be able to duplicate a Grommash with this?
You can't use this on the same turn as playing Grommash. When Grommash is used it either finishes the game by itself or it gets played and then immediately removed or the game is decided before it even comes into play. Having another Grommash that you can play two turns afterwards isn't going to do anything.
You are much, much better off playing a Faceless Manipulator on a Grommash.

What other cards would a frost giant deck have besides...frost giant?
Molten Giants. Maybe those duplicate cards like that new 4 drop.
Assuming they don't get hit with the nerf bat hard.
The combination of Molten Giants and Frost Giant allows you to duplicate Moltens in case you start to get rushed down or you can duplicate Frost Giants in the long game. Issue with the Molten strat is that it's not as effective without Ice Block. You can have a full board of Moltens but that won't matter because the other guy is just going to go face anyway.

Who would do that instead of destroy it?
Though after playing Duelyst for 3 days, I like the idea of heroes all having permanent 1/X weapons.
I imagined that the deck would be built to minimize the damage you take. Hmm.

Hopefully not a neutral minion
yeah make it a class card for even more salt

Well I know it isn't tentacles for arms.
Any Dr Boom calls are nerf info pending. My early bet would be on Light Rag, funnily enough.

Warrior card seems playable depending on what else we see before expansion is out, overall interesting effect

As long as I don't see it every game that's fine.
And as long as it's not a piece of shit RNG card.
I'm still learning how to play the game so I don't think entering the Arena would be a good idea right now. Besides I have gotten one or two decent things that I use from the packs so it's not too bad.
Hmmm... I might mix it up with the priest and the druid that also seemed interesting to me.
Yeah I guess a legendary is better than no legendary. I'll see how it goes but the warrior style didn't really appeal to me that much to be honest. Maybe I'll take another look.
You simply can't play Warrior with a small collection, in general the control archetype is the most expensive one. Even with Elise as your only legendary you need bunch of epics (at least 5 off the top of my head). Arguably there's still Patron Warrior which is cheaper but I'd strongly advise against building toward that deck as chances are it's becoming useless with the upcoming update.
What's important to note is that what you're seeing now with your basic cards is not indicative of the Warrior playstyle in "real" matches. I don't even know what good cards Warrior has by default, is there anything besides War Axe and Execute?
Still, like gutshot said Grom is a great card to have even if it's not of much use to you now. Sooner or later you'll be glad you pulled him over the countless terrible legendaries in the game.

It's possible to do a "budget" control deck, but it wouldn't be my first choice for a beginner. There are a lot of aggressive cards in the basic set, but they are inefficient. One Antique Healbot can counter your two Heroic Strikes plus put a body on the ground.
This is a pretty reasonable basic Warrior deck. But like most basic decks, it's pretty much Arena style, that is, tempo minions with efficient removal. It won't get you very far on ladder.

I've had it with 1/3 1-cost minions that get buffed from normal play.
Like you said yourself that's just a midrange struggle deck, it really is impossible to build a basic/budget CW. Should be more than enough for getting the monthly cardback though.
Ironically the average Warrior draft nowadays destroys this
I don't doubt it. Even to make a reasonable "mid-budget" control deck probably costs 5000-7000 dust. Kolento's Elise deck costs more than that and that is cheap by the standard of CW decks. I have a pretty decent collection myself from playing mostly F2P since open beta, but even then, I'm missing the second Brawl, the Shieldmaidens, Justicar, and Harrison.

I hope we get a video of someone who gets Lightlord with a Soulpriest out on the board.
Sadly, it doesn't cast a heal if no one is damaged, but that does allow you to have Lightlord hit what you want.
Only time that changes is if you pick paladin, then you ask yourself every steep of the way "which one if these is the most bullshit option", and pick that one, usually something like keeper of uldaman
Have they actually introduced any cards that make archetypes faster this set?
Pretty much everything seems to push decks toward being slower.
More and more weapons are getting death rattles. And in theory you could put a weapon silence on a better body.
Nah. Dr. Boom fit into so many different decks. Mid-range, control, even fairly aggressive decks like Mech Shaman would run it. Only decks that didn't run it were pure face decks.
C'thun will only be run in specific C'thun decks, obviously. And depending on which class has the most broken class card, that will be the only class with a viable C'thun deck.
Something like that would see as much play as holy Knight. Works against a small handful of decks only. It's good when you're playing 1v1 and know what deck your opponent will have, but that's about it.
Yeah, I think the definition of a 'dr. boom' is a legendary card that fits into more decks than it SHOULD. This likely rules out class legendaries. So far I don't think we have one, yet. Let's see what the last old god does (though, at 10 mana, I doubt it could ever reach dr boom levels).
