Yeti was quite solid in druid, now it's not played. Any 4 drop that has 4hp has a big downside of dying to shredder, and if it has no other impact, it is inferior to shredder which leaves a 2 drop behind. So, people actually expect good 4 drops to be 4/5s now.

I'm not sure what your point is. Yeti is a 4/5.

Like, look when streamers are reviewing new cards. 3/5s get discarded very soon for "poor stats".

Skeleton Knight quotes A Game of Thrones on both entry and attack.

"When you play in Grand Tournament you win or you die" and
"Pay the iron price"

Oh, and guys, this deck is insane currently:
http://teamarchon.com/decks/view/58-anticipation

my changes are -1 pyro, -1 Blessing, +1 chow, +argus.
It is pretty decent against agro and against other decks dropping tirion causes a concede like 80% of the time.

[popsofctown]

Reading the comments on these things always gets me.  "I want to play this deck but don't have either Quartermaster, what should I replace it with?" True best answer: Rexxar. 

Paladin is pretty well positioned right now so I'm not suprised it's doing well.  It probably improves Amaz's winrate a lot that people are mulliganing for Divine Favor Paladin.  Well, maybe it does.  I guess if you queue up against Amaz and you happen to know he doesn't ever play decks that dull, maybe you don't mulligan for Divine Favor Paladin.  Hm..

What do you guys think about Justiciar in Control Warrior list?

Warrior relies on Armor up so much and getting 4 armor a turn seems huge.

[qmech]

Control Warrior seems to be the best home for Justicar.  You have to survive several more turns to get value from it, but there's every chance you can.

[popsofctown]

Justicar seems terrible in control Warrior.  If you're about to literally die turn 7 or 8 to face hunter, it's bad because you won't get to activate it twice so it can be a Priestess of Elune.  If you're going to die turn 10 or 11 to a mechmage that's building board position, it's bad because its' a 6/3, so at least one more minion will survive than if you had played a normal sized creature, and that minion will be hitting you for 3 every turn while you heal for 2 extra every turn.

If you play it against a deck that is going to go for a looong, grindy game, it would be good if you had a 50 card deck, but you don't.  It's really easy to deck out as control warrior, and taking out your 6/7 for a 6/3 just means you'll end the game with no deck, no board, 50 armor, and an opponent with a 4/4, in all likelihood.

[Grujah]

Vs fast deck obviously shieldmaiden is better.
Few turns later justicar gets more armor, and out-sustaining your opponent is really important is slow control matchups where you are likely to hit fatigue. (vs some midrange too).

Edit:
someone on reddit actually made a pretty neat comparison:

https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/3htz39/justicar_in_control_warrior/

[popsofctown]

Fatigue matches are almost always decided by whoever has a minion leftover after both players trade minions and removal against eachother.

Using this card to win fatigue games is like sacrificing a rook so you can in a six piece game.

[werothegreat]

Turn 1: Innervate/Coin -> Jeeves
Turn 2: Innervate -> Astral Communion
Turn 3+: Whatever the fuck I want

[Jorbles]

Justiciar seems worth it if you absolutely know you're going into a control vs control matchup where you're going to get a lot of chances to tap. I could see it being slipped in as a surprise card in tournaments or if you're playing against a friend who you think is going to play a control deck.

However, that makes it pretty terrible on ladder where you face aggro decks at least half the time.

[popsofctown]

When you say "chances to tap", do you mean any hero power, or Life Tap?

I think the card is only going to lose you a control warrior mirror.  Priest might have enough value packed into their deck to splurge on it, but not Warrior.

I just call any use of hero power "tapping". I'm not sure if other people do that, but amongst my irl friends who play Hearthstone we just call it tapping.

[ashersky]

So, do I craft Justicar?

[ashersky]

Savage Combatant is my early surprise card.

It's an 8 damage swing when he can attack and inspire.  I dropped it T1 with Coin+Innervate and really had my opponent on the ropes with 8 damage on T2.

[Grujah]

Yeah, sometimes problem with coin/innervating a big minion turn 1 is that you cannot do anything but hero power next 2 turns. This guy helps with that.

[AHoppy]

So the priest legendary that summons a random legendary when you inspire, I've played against it once, they summoned majordomo, they instantly resigned

[EgorK]

So, I modified standard midrange shammy, currently 8-5 at rank 4

Rockbiter Weapon x 2
Earth Shock x 2
Zombie Chow

Flametongue Totem x 2
Ancestral Knowledge x 2
Totem Golem x 2

Tuskarr Totemic x 2
Healing Wave
Hex x 2
Feral Spirit x 2
Lightning Storm x 2

Piloted Shredder x 2
Defender of Argus

Azure Drake
Loatheb
Doomhammer

Fire Elemental x 2

Dr. Boom

Al'Akir the Windlord

I am thinking of replacing one ancestral knowledge with 2nd drake

[popsofctown]

Azure Drake definitely seems like a superior draw option. 

I think the 6 mana 5/5 that draws a pally card or Neptulon might be better choices too.  Their bodies are small for their costs, but are they 4 mana smaller?

[pingpongsam]

So, do I craft Justicar?

Nah, just open him like I did.

[Galzria]

Nah, just open him like I did.

Nah, just open him like I did.

After getting Justicar+Soulpriest'd today, I crafted him.

My opponent popped a Dreadsteed out of Piloted Sky Golem in Arena just now. Might be the new worst Golem drop... although it was difficult to resist the urge to clear it with my Haunted Creeper.

Well, actually free ping is rather annoying

[popsofctown]

Haunted Creeper is 1/2! Dreadsteed is 1/1.  THIS IS WHAT HE WAS HATCHED FOR RIGHT?
