That card is 1 attack less than scarlet crusader, it can't have 3 attack without being strictly better. It's a balanced card that won't see much play in constructed. But because of the charge, you never can tell, face hunter might want this, or zoo, idk.

They literally halved the stats and casting cost of Argent Commander. It is an interesting possible replacement for Wolfrider in facehunter, less damage but takes twice as much removal to stop. Also works as removal in the mirror, as well as surviving explosive trap.

I can't see it finding a spot in zoo, its not as good as Imp Gang Bang and the archetype doesn't really need more three drops as it stands. Zoo isn't really face aggro so the charge isn't as important, IGB trades better for zoo's board overall.

And really, "horserider"? That's the best name for this card they could come up with?

"Cavalry" or "cavalier" would have been better but yeah horseman is an improvement too. Horse rider sounds half tarded. "Durr what do you call a guy on a horse?"

Not surprising. Oh well, Jaraxxus will continue to rise and fall based on the power of warrior and rogue in the meta, lol.

Jaraxxus isnt used in Demonlock for the card effect anyway...

It is played to bait a 3/15 on the board for 4 mana early through voidcaller, then buffed to a 4/16.

I've had so many idiots hit the taunt button when they think that was a misplay, then realize they are dealing with a 4/16 with a emperor coming out on turn 6. GG and is one of the reasons Demonlock is the 2nd highest rated decks this season.
 
I just checked the thread and there were tons of horrible cards from early GvG spoilers, along with people trashing cards that are now staples. People saying Shieldmaiden sucked, Muster sucked, Healbot sucked, Foe-Reaper was amazing, Call Pet was good, etc.

Tournament looks fine by spoilers, anyone judging the entire set by 25% of the cards is retarded.
reminder that Dr.Balanced was once called "it's just a war golem with two wisps" pre GvG

I never thought Shieldmaiden was bad. Muster and healbot I was less sold on. I don't recall people hyping Foe-Reaper or Call Pet though. I recall Fel Reaver and Troggzor being overhyped more than anything.

So... I'm a couple years late to jump on the Hearthstone train... I've never really been a CCG kinda guy, is it difficult to get into / are there limitations that I'll just never be able to catch up to because of being a few years behind the people that have the game "beat" already?

How much of it is pay to win versus I'm assuming you can also do decently without resorting to paying hundreds of dollars for cards?

You'll probably want to at least drop some money on certain wings of the adventure packs. Level your shit up to ten and beat all the AI's first. There's lots of responses in the thread and elsewhere online to help you get started.

We should edit the first post to include all our comments on the barrier of entry. A guide if you will.

I was excited for Troggzor, but then Dr Boom completely blew him out of the water at the 7 drop slot. And Reynad would have been right about Fel Reaver being a huge thing for aggro if Dr Boom hadn't caused a meta shift that resulted in 2/3rds of the decks on the ladder adding BGH.
