I have never dusted any legendaries since I just like collecting stuff but I did open a golden one back then. If it still isn't becoming playable, I might just press the button to get a card that at least is thematical and fun, if not necessarily any better.

Oh wow, hey, it doesn't say friendly minion. I bet someone figures out a deck that takes advantage of an enemy Raggy.

In very specific circumstances it can be used as a silence effect (to remove a deathrattle or ongoing effect) as a desperate last resort.

So they’ve got Annoy-o-troupe playing Voidlord, Lead Dancer playing Possessed Lackey, and Kangor playing Skull of the Man’ari. I guess the question now is if we get a Bloodreaver Gul’dan or Carnivorous Cube.

…Honestly, I could see Cube in the Core Set.

Just played against a casino mage who discovered Frozen Buckler from Prismatic Elemental, and his Tear Reality got him Potion of Illusion and Ice Block, so his Rommath was infinite and gained him 10 life and bought him a turn whenever it was played. Sometimes you get rolled, and that has to be the best possible outcome for that deck.

Warrior deck, full of whatever stalling bullshit you can find, then

The Fires of Zin-Azshari => 2 mana: Replace your deck with minions that cost (5) or more. They cost (5).
Steamcleaner => 5 mana Battlecry: Destroy ALL cards in both players' decks that didn't start there.

+for wild
Explore Un'Goro => 2 mana: Replace your deck with copies of "1 mana: Discover a card."
Skulking Geist => 6 mana: Battlecry: Destroy all 1-Cost spells in both hands and decks.

Could make it even warrior in wild by stuffing Tony inside ETC

The legendary Warrior spell is extremely weird to print into a format where Lor’themar a) exists, and b) isn’t exactly tearing things up. It’s absurdly powerful with things like Grom and Remornia, but how do you search for it and what does the rest of the deck look like?

Has there ever been a card that's been received so badly in its preview that it was buffed before release? I know they've revealed some cards before that were already buffed internally but I don't remember any of the former.

Well I guess to be fair we haven't seen the rest of the Warrior kit yet. Maybe they have some way to cheat it out.

Lurks With Wolves

Honestly, the problem isn't even that Warrior needs something to let them get their legendary spell out easier (although they do need that). The problem is that they don't even have many units that really benefit from setting their stats equal to their cost. Warrior cards are already statted pretty well, especially since they've been getting higher health than usual to work with Warrior's frenzy theme. Are Decimator Olgra and Fleshshaper better as 6/6s instead of a 3/7 or 3/8? Probably, even if it's not as cut and dry as you'd like. Is Blackscale Brute better as a 7/7 than a 5/6? Yes. But a few stats aren't what was stopping those cards from being played, so if Blackrock 'n' Roll is going to do anything it's going to be relying on the cards they're adding this set.

Doesn't it give additional stats? So a 2 mana 3/2 becomes a 5/4?

... I may have critically misread the card. EDIT: And yeah, that's a lot better. But also, like people have been saying, it is basically just Lor'themar for two less without a 7/7 attached.

According to Blizz Steamcleaner doesn't work on Tony, making a casino deck for your opponent could make for some amusing plays, win or lose.

but steamcleaner will work if you Fires the opponent's deck while swapped

it won't work off Tony *by himself*, but Tony enables you to mess with the oponent's deck to make it steam cleanable. then you intentionally kill/silence tony to swap back and they have nothing left

its convoluted and almost certainly not competitive...but it will be fun to pull off

So i guess the super buff would be on the 20 mana Naga Giant which would become a 20 mana 28/28 that would be discounted mana cost by 1 for each mana spent on spells that game..

Already you're going back to the old kernel of building a deck around 1 card (that doesn't automatically start in your hand like a quest) is generally a bad idea. It's a secondary win condition at best, and many games you arguably don't have time to play it on curve (or at any time) and then draw your win conditions. My impression is it's still bad but I'm sure it will be really annoying to me when a warrior plays it on turn 8 or 9 and then immediately plays two 0 mana 28/28's onto the board.

I don't think the spell is bad in a vacuum, if control warrior becomes a thing again I think it will be worth including as somewhat of a win condition. Really depends on what the meta is like after rotation, although warrior is losing one of their top all-time board clears in shield shatter so who knows.

The Riffs look interesting. I don’t know what they go in, but the play pattern at least looks cool.

FYI, expect a Core Set reveal tomorrow. They don’t have any expansion previews scheduled for the afternoon, which is unusual for a weekday during reveal season, so they’ll probably dump the Core Set and maybe post a video talking about it (and possibly the Year announcement/roadmap?) in that slot.
