Blast Tortoise is defo the best card Warrior got this set. Warrior never gets one sided board clears and there's so many ways to buff it, even just one Last Stand or Chorus Riff is probably good enough. Where it really shines however is giving Blackrock decks a consistent way to reset the board while also not hurting your own minions.
Taunt Warrior was the best deck in the game during the second week(or was it the third week?) of Karazan... so there was a time that it was playable... it was just a week but it was the best deck.
There was also that time when Armagedillo + the double-taunter from Uldum were in Standard, I believe that they saw a good amount of play (although iirc it wasn't merely "Taunt Warrior", they were part of a more general Control Warrior deck)
The thing with these warrior cards is it just feels like the decks they make will still be worse than 30 card odyn warrior. But what is interesting is odyn warrior probably loses to taunt warrior.
this is a very interesting point. All I can say is that I will be excited to try and play these archetypes even if they are bad. Is there any chance a blackrock and roll taunt warrior could form through playing dred corsair the infinite weapon, maybe something else. This would obv be off meta but maybe.
7:50 the problem is that odyn requires you to draw him on time, and then you also need armour cards to use his effect this 7/7 can just be dumped in any warrior deck to make sure it out-lasts any rival control deck
The tnt legendary won't be played cuz all highlander decks will run steam cleaner to counter plague disruption so this card will also be countered by steam cleaner
(Excavate to awaken 2 turns sooner!) - shouldnt it work retroactively? Like if you summon it on turn 4 when you already Excavated twice on turns 2 and 3, it should progress to '4' turns to awaken immidiately after summon?
If that was the case, it would still be better but I really doubt thats how it works. It might be a good way to buff it in the future as this card i think is horrid as is.
Calling it now, 60%+ of these will be buffed (cost/stats) or none of these cards will see play. No reason to play any of these over Odin warrior. Just like the riffs back before the buffs.
Bomboss is crazy good, are you high? the 8 Mana flavor texting in the bomb is if you somehow get a copy of this card in your hand(Moslty Priest and Mage thing), then you need to spend mana to use it, you shuffle 3 Patcherwk effects in your deck (it's the 3 at same time), is just that 8 Mana do nothing you need to have some pressure on the board to play it, but i can clearly seen as a alternative to control decks get rid of combos decks atleast on wild.
Set was redesigned totally in the last minutes .. they even haven’t renamed the cards. I assume initially they had deathrattle like boombots or something like that
slagmaw can be good for slow metagames where midrange is prominent it might make it strong for the mid range excavate warrior deck or maybe control but i think it needed to be 6 turns with the option to get it to 4 insted has then midrange can use it but badlands brawler might make the deck work but the mini set can be great for the deck if warrior gets a generally good excavate (am talking 3 mana 3/4 taunt or maybe 4 mana 3/8 taunt something like that just to have it be played and be good for a deck that does not go full excavate)
hey i play prist so i see things the oposite of how you see them bcz hmm a 16/16 thets hard to kill how much mana will it cost ? o yea 1 the light it burns or u know canibalize also heals me for 16 or u can just drown it the titan can erase it from the game almoust evry aoe kill it too light bomb wirlpool the 4 mana kill evrything whit 5 or more attak so when does it win u the game cant be erly the only good thing is rush on it. so u can trade 1 for 2
Stagmaw is literally a LoR landmark but the lack of interactivity and specific condition make it feel like it won’t be that good except specific deck (imo)
Boomboss has the potential to be real rough for people. Assuming they need to trade at least one card to kill it, and you're playing it in control because duh, this one card could trade 10:1
This set was totally redesigned in last minutes. All art with dynamite and cards names do not correspond with taunts and buffs. I assume minions used to have deathrattles like boombots or something like that. It’s a shame. It would be so fun explosive warrior set but instead people gonna play fake cards … and it’s frustrating to know this. I wish I could forget it …
Slagmaw. It's basically like a looming threat to your opponent. They can't kill it when it awakens. It trades into something, and you can kinda control how fast it awakens. Plus it has taunt, so the opponent is forced to use hard removal or to trade everything they have. I think it's good.
@@epicmenace1303 Fr it kinda sucks tbh. Every deck that isn't aggro (it won't awaken vs aggro anyways) has a way to deal with even smth stupid like a 100/100 as long as they are given the prep time.
Taunt warrior’s never worked before but they’ve never pushed it this hard before either. 2x keleseth + the board clear turtles + weapon dread corsair shenanigans is cooking with spice 🌶️
Handbuff Pally has seen some play in Wild after the Glowstone tech buff I think (and I believe, but I'm not sure, that Mech Pally played handbuffs too). With that said, Keleseth has seen 0 play in Wild, and I'm really not confident it would see any play in Standard today (like the dude was released six years ago at this point, and Patches the Pirate, one of the reasons he was so great, is no longer here), so I feel that saying a card is "like Keleseth" like Rarran does here isn't really an indication that it's good - not to mention I feel like this new Warrior deck-buffing card seems generally worse than Keleseth anyway as, even though it buffs the hand, you're not gonna get that many Taunt minions in an aggro deck, and the pool is pretty restricted in general.
Let me tell you, it will be bad. You need to play three warrior/neutral excavate cards (very low tempo) in the next two turns for it to be viable, and there is no guarantee for it to survive after all that effort. You also have no guarantee that Slagmaw will be in your hand before you played your excavate cards, draw order can lock it out of a certain game.
I disagree, odin warrior is already pretty good and the removal they got can supplement that deck nicely, the early removal can just murder aggro decks. the brawl card kind of forces the excavate cards in play but odin warrior will likely still be fine regardless
@@kztizzle2558 that the problem. We can not play new cards because most of them suck. Yeah Odyn Control will be fine with the help of Misfire to kill early aggros, but just it.
I stopped playing HS when the hand disruption and zerg decks got stupid-- aka the Stormwind expansion. Looking at some of these new cards, I am glad I quit. When you can totally outplay someone, only to lose to some fool blowing up your win-condition, in your full hand through sheer dumb-luck, that's just garbage design.
@@mees7920 Try rolling your face on your keyboard some more. Might clean up some of that vomit you call typing. :P Yea, card is probably too slow-- My understanding is that even "control" has to be aggressive now-a-days. Gone are the days of building to a big win condition-- Now it's just go face and go face HARDER.
I really dislike boom boss. Too much disruption/rng for my taste. Rng should be in the game as a high roll but not as a designed mechanic where it's u draw this u instantly get patchworked and lose.
So now you're lying in your titles? WTF???!?! "Rarran reviews new warrior cards" Simple. Your title implies that you are actually playing some taunt warrior deck. So thanks for nothing.
cant wait to evolve into slagmaw with zero excavate cards in deck.
At least it still wakes up...
@@Cuestrupaster ...in the next game 💀
I bet there will be degenerate combi to awaken it on turn 5. Maybe not in this expansion, but its gonna happen.

Idk if Boomboss will be good but I’ll tell you in playing it in every deck until it rotates. As a control warrior enjoyer, I feed off enemy salt
choose one = 8 mana 8/8 that literally does nothing for god knows how many turns or gigachad odin that wins you the game in 2 turns

You know what’s good against Oden?… Not being able to point face.
Take a shot everytime he said “why play this when I can just play Odyn”
cant wait for the first patch thats gonna make every excavate card 1 mana cheaper because holy crap they are overcosted as hell
RARRAN GOES FULL ______ WITH THESE _______ CARDS!!
Calling it now, 60%+ of these will be buffed (cost/stats) or none of these cards will see play. No reason to play any of these over Odin warrior. Just like the riffs back before the buffs.
Isnt there a card to draw all cards that didnt start inbyour deck?
ohhh wait you can do a menagerie taunt warrior
Boomboss has the potential to become the support for a disruption warrior, a.k. the most annoying deck this game will ever see.
What I'm trying to figure out is if buffing any minion in your hand wasn't good before then why is it good now when it's more specific?
Bomboss is crazy good, are you high? the 8 Mana flavor texting in the bomb is if you somehow get a copy of this card in your hand(Moslty Priest and Mage thing), then you need to spend mana to use it, you shuffle 3 Patcherwk effects in your deck (it's the 3 at same time), is just that 8 Mana do nothing you need to have some pressure on the board to play it, but i can clearly seen as a alternative to control decks get rid of combos decks atleast on wild.
summons slagmaw.. opponent steals it with yogg, welp
Rarran never fails to go full [something] in his videos.
Perfectly ultimate great moth in hearthstone pog
These card reviews have become my favorite lately 🙃
Taunt menagerie package will go hard
I love Slagmaw's flavor text. Such a cool Lord of the Rings reference.
Blast tortoise really was "Rarran reads the card ultra hard mode"
It's weird how minions with bombs buff cards in your hands. That's weird, right?
The explosions make your Hand Minions hyped to fight

@@artyomvol1553 Was it?? I thought they had sets planned out months in advance
Misfite, how does spell damage work with it? Does a +1 tive it +3 damage?
Should be 4,3,2 dmg if it is consistent with other cards
I said this in the chat but I will say it again. Slagmaw is too slow against faster decks and too vulnerable against slower decks.
Yeah, and when people are waiting for it to awaken they will hang onto or discover removal for it
"Taunt warrior never sees any play". I don't know in what world this man has lived so far, honestly, but certainly not the same as us.

Aggro menagerie taunt warrior, the ultimate it's never going to work deck that just might work.
They should probably have just incorporated rush into the rules for dormant.

TBH, I think its one of the worst legendaries in a while, I don't see how this is playable
Like would the legendary even see play if it had charge?? Probably not
Slagmaw with charge i can see a combo perhaps handbuff? Maybe

@@epicmenace1303 mage moment
1 mana priest spell also known as 'light it burns' :
Boomboss seems niche. Can destroy through immune and divine shield. Hits locations. Can hit "Can't be targeted". But not great.
You're probably either awakening slagmaw the same turn you play it, or not putting it in your deck at all. Great nerf to evolve.
To be fair concede on the spot is kind of your MO
Slugmaw is probably good because you can control the awakening
nah, dawg this card is terrible
Boomboss should instead of shuffling 3 bombs into your opponents deck, shuffle 2 and blow a (third) bomb up.
then it would just be blatant power creep on patchwerk
8 mana do nothing isn't going to work in the game as is. Patchwork targets minions and is a death knight class card. @@kztizzle2558
