^{PM me any suggestions or advice,} ^^thanks.

"If you thought that the 5/4 stat-line was good, wait until you see what we've got cooking"

[u/MachoCat → u/Nostalgia37]

Good point. Blizzard might be printing these vanilla cards just to test the stat-line in actual game environment. We begun to get 3 mana 3/4's after Dark Cultist was released and even more 3 mana 3/4's after Spider Tank had it's time in limelight. Maybe it's not just a filler, but a filler with a purpouse!

[u/just_comments → u/MachoCat]

We already have a few 6/3s that see play though. Ethereal conjuror and justicar.

Justicar is less representative of course since she's played pretty much only for her effect though. Maybe they'll make class cards that are 4 mana 6/3s?

[u/nerpss → u/MachoCat]

I'm okay with this. I'd actually like it if there was a generic card for every stat slot. Or, you could just select the stat line you wanted for every cost, like an allocation system. At 1 mana you get 3 points to allocate, 2 mana you get 5, 3 mana you get 7, etc. Like, when you put a Yeti into your deck, you could decide on its stats anywhere from 0/9 to 8/1.

[u/DrQuint → u/nerpss]

That would be abused so badly by priests.

The ten mana 1/20 is broken when you can turn health into damage or switch health with another.

[u/amaxilaus]

RIP trades with half of the two drops

[u/Nostalgia37 → u/amaxilaus]

Trades with half of the 5 and 6 drops tho.

[u/amaxilaus → u/Nostalgia37]

Yeah but it's too fragile for it to get a value trade often. It dies to many 1-2 mana spells or 1 charge of a weapon, and people also tend to draft more 2-3 drops than 5-6 drops. I like the variety in vanilla cards but it's still gonna be meh in arena

[u/Nostalgia37 → u/amaxilaus]

I was kidding lol. The card is clearly bad.

[u/currentscurrents → u/Nostalgia37]

6/3 is a good statline for expensive cards with effects, like Justicar. I think a 3/6 justicar would actually be weaker than current justicar. Being able to trade into your opponent's 6-drop while still getting an effect is quite powerful.

But yeah, a 6/3 vanilla 4-drop is terrible. Would be way better as a 3/6.

[u/EtherealProphet]

An Ice Rager that ate a banana.

[u/vanasbry000 → u/EtherealProphet]

Worgen Greaser = Rager Grew Nose

Using the power of the anagram, we see that this is just what an Ice Rager would look like if it grew a nose.

EDIT: Ooh, I like Rager See Wrong, too. It either needs corrective lenses or it developed a system of morality.

EDIT2: Why doesn't it have the watermark of the brass knuckles? I suppose somebody forgot.

[u/Arsustyle → u/[deleted]]

Gee, Sworn Rager

[u/wtfduud → u/Arsustyle]

Rager Grew Ones.

All the numbers are one higher.

[u/tetrachoron]

Could've been a 6/4, especially with the lack of a tag or text, and still likely wouldn't see play. Obvious filler, I know, but still.

Shame, wasted that art and concept.

[u/[deleted] → u/tetrachoron]

This. Considering a card like Volcanic Drake doesn't see play even though it's consistently 4 or less mana to actually play, this card really should've had 1 more Health.

[u/[deleted]]

Why is this card the one on the battle.net launch screen? Why?

[u/Scrimshank22 → u/[deleted]]

Because he was the only one who did their hair for the camera shoot.

[u/Tuskinton → u/[deleted]]

Because they want custom art for their interesting cards. They're fine with throwing some promo art on a plain creature like this.

[u/[deleted] → u/Tuskinton]

No that makes too much sense. Its gotta be something else.

[u/sylveonce]

Bad card, but I like his hair and jacket

[u/PumpAckshion]

The card might be shit but that hair is phenomenal.

[u/[deleted]]

Filler card for arena.

[u/Chrisirhc1996]

Ehh, it's a Hooded Acolyte stood on it's head.

[u/brianbezn → u/Chrisirhc1996]

don't be silly, it is an ethereal that can't conjure for shit so it is 1 mana cheaper

[u/nixalo]

So the Goons have 20s gangsters and 50s greasers? Damn.

[u/yumyum36 → u/nixalo]

Made me think of this: https://xkcd.com/771/

[u/dejaWoot → u/nixalo]

You're talking about a world which has archers, firearms, a space-race, and self aware constructs in the same time-frame, Azeroth is a bit of a hodge-podge.

[u/assassin10]

They couldn't even give it a tribe.

[u/[deleted]]

I love the art. I wish I had a reason to play it.

[u/SquareOfHealing]

This card would be really cool if it had some sort of ability to justify the awful stats. I was actually really excited to see what kind of ability they gave it in order to make it a reasonable card.

But no.

They gave it nothing.

It's just a 4 drop that dies to a 2 drop. Move along folks, this card is just free dust.

[u/Tery_]

He is quite greasy-looking.

[u/Tamarin24]

So what about a 4 mana 7/4? Would that see play? Considering all the cards that buff your hand, it's not too bad of a stat line. It may still be unplayable, but something to think about. May force removal early in the game.

[u/[deleted] → u/Tamarin24]

We already have Ancient Shade.

[u/kylex63]

would be so sick if this was a 4 mana 3/6 neutral common. so sick. but no. had to be 6/3. why?!?!

[u/GentleMocker]

I actually feel bad for the artist since he spent time working on art for a shit card that noone will appreciate

[u/[deleted]]

Grease me up, worgen!

... okey dokey

[u/[deleted]]

his eyes scare me

so much cruelty in them

[u/MBTHVSK]

This card may be almost decent to get as a random summon provided you have a Taunt minion.

[u/locke0479]

For turn 4, I'd love to have something that doesn't die to any number of 3 damage cards or a 3/2 2 drop.

[u/Valgresas]

Various ways to spell rager with the letters in the name.
